Dark times...

I don't miss him, other than he added an entertainment element to the board. I do think it's a bit naive to think that those who campaigned for his banning didn't bait, troll, and stir the pot with him, though. Now, there are more posts then ever of the "great post/repped!" variety, with the same rep circle demonstrating the same groupthink. Disagreeing with an opinion outside of the small huddle is considered "trolling".

Plus, you just stirred the pot with your post by calling out other posters, which is a bit ironic.

Great post, repped!

Great post, repped!

Damn it! I was deliberately avoiding your repping spree.

 

[Blazinaway]

nothing wrong with having an alternative point of view, in fact i used to appreciate the difference, but my god - he became intolerable and more and more baiting. was just so fuckin tiresome.

+1, differing views are great and part of what makes a forum interesting, but there is a line of HOW one's views are expresses ed - Mixum lived on the other side almost all the time and "so fuckin tiresome" sums it up nicely

I actually didn't rep you. I guess there is a cap on how much rep a person can hand out every 24hrs.

I was just being a smart ass.

Post/debate quality has taken a huge hit since he fell victim to entrapment by the morality board.

He's paid his "debt to society". Time to end this farce.

 

[MARIS61]

The people who miss him are the ones who like to stir the pot. It's not a coincidence.

The people who don't miss him are the ones who fear Freedom of Speech. It's not a coincidence.

Great post...honestly

Anyone else find it strange that the moment Mixum was banned was the moment the Blazers started firing on all cylinders? Maybe Mixum is a Laker voodoo fan that used S2 to jinx the Blazers. Whew, glad the mods took charge for the Blazer's sake!

What is our record since Mixum was banned?

When was he banned?

Bullshit! I love stirring it up...... and don't miss that troll bitch at all!

 

[magnifier661]

I think the last time I remembered Mixum posting was after the Atlanta loss. If that's true then the Blazers are:

11-5

That's a bunch of crap. I don't miss that putz one bit, but I never lobbied to have him banned. He was, by far, a net negative to the board, but I actually don't give a damn if he's banned or not.

Maybe you could explain how that means I fear freedom of speech.

Go Blazers

 

[Eastoff]

In his defense, that wizard game really was rock bottom. Kind of crazy to think about it.

 

[SnakeOiler]

Mixum sucked. The "alternate point of view" wasn't what made him a troll. His method and intent made him a troll. He wanted to get a negative reaction - hence troll. He could have easily chose to have a different point of view and get along. He chose to be an ass about it and now he is banned.

 

[Klinky]

Mixum had a career +/- of -100, I am impressed he lasted as long as he did. For those who are talking about him being banned is a slap in the face of free speech or alternative viewpoints, keep in mind that usually a person engaging in discussion or debate brings to the table a wide range of feelings, emotions & incites. Mixum on the other hand really only brought one thing to the table 9 times out of 10 & that was "sky is falling" negativity.

Since Mixum's last activity on March 15th, Blazers are 11 of 15(excluding the meaningless GSW game the other night).

Good enough reason to keep him away !

 

[Kaydow]

This would be a better reason than the one they used to ban him with. I always skim over his posts. Never could understand those bitching about him all the time.

Yeah I didn't mind him either. I thought he was kind of funny. I used to send him PMs from time to time just to mess with him.

I could never tell if he was serious, half serious, or if it was all an act. Anybody ever meet him in person? I always wondered what he was like to roll with. I kind of figured he didn't have a huge social network away from the board.

the surest sign he was one was that he would openly contradict himself when it suited his needs.
