Tech Does the forum has the budget to buy a keyboard with lower case for MARIS

[Lanny]

I see you started here in 2013. I'm simply talking about all efforts I had made many years prior to that connecting folks here with the Blazers - I got major help from Sly, GYM RAT (Pat from the Blazers), Wheels, KP, Cho, and many others. I really revelled in those times - particularly, the years I lived in Atlanta, yet were able to coordinate events in Portland. Lots of fun! Upon moving to Nashville, getting married, etc., my interest has ceratinly waned. I'll be back, though! I still enjoy posting here in the OT. I have many connections here.

....and I was 20+ years younger. So, there's that.

 

[Lanny]

Wasn't aware. Thanks for sharing. As mentioned, I just received an email from him late yesterday. I'm out.

EDIT: Although, MARIS told me that he hadn't posted in here for weeks. Perhaps, all those reach outs by the mods happened dudring that time. Consequestntly, when MARIS didn't respond, he was banned.

Just let it go and let's get on to something more productive.

When the lies are that loud for that long the truth needs to be louder for longer...just cheering for the truth...I think we're at a historical crossroads but I get it...I'm not going to hold my breath that it'll sink in but it's worth trying

No, it's not worth it.Let it go, and no, you're not going to change his mind nor he yours. It's so frustrating to see you two going round and round and getting nowhere.

It's important to be proactive Lanny...I make my own choices when it comes to political debate here...the GOP is saying what you just said..to let go...that we'll never change their mind...well that's not my job...my job is to speak my mind...and you are free to tolerate whatever you like...I find intolerance from the GOP to be fair game...walk the walk I'm not frustrated with him...I'm frustrated with his team....you can ref your own complaints my friend...I don't need a ref. I've said nothing you haven't stood for here yourself but it seems you are letting your personal fondness for the guy cloud perspective. It's not personal ...it's a topic of controversy..you can join in or ignore the whole thread if you're frustrated....the topic is frustrating..OT sect is filled with such topics.
and no different from any debate you've weighed in on ..the topic is not him or me.....I sent you a PM and you've yet to respond? Wondered why? I know you're going through a lot of health stuff but ...thought I'd ask. Hope you're doing well.

I care about you and ABM deeply and it pains me to see you two argue endlesslessly. However, I am not telling you two not to do whatever legal things you want. I'm sorry I butted in.

Lanny, as far as I'm concerened, riverman and I are actually having some constructive conversations. In fact, I'm listening to some the the offerings he's throwing out there. I'm not on track with anything Trump right now and that's the big start.

He repeatedly said hateful shit. Multiple posts that were deleted in your trans thread. This one time I left his BS up.

I tried to talk to him, both in threads and privately.

Nothing.

I suspended him.

Nothing.

I banned him from individual threads.

Lost his shit over it.

Myself and others really tried to get him to stop with the gay and trans bashing posts. He had complete freedom to post all the pro-Trump and conspiracy theories he wanted. He did throughout the forum and you'll see them if you look. He was free to post all the crazy Covid conspiracy theories he wanted. But when he posts shit that was just pure hate a line has to be drawn.

I hate Laker fans. All Laker fans. Pure hate…… your move dog.

Please. If the choice is between Trump and Biden (or another D candidate), I have no doubt you'll vote for that traitorous asshat again. Twice (voted) a deplorable, will always be (voting for) a deplorable.

You would be wrong.
