Okay, I just read the original post and I am flabbergasted. HCP's "hazing" of new posters is hilarious, not hurtful. Most of us have gotten the "rook" treatment.

Second, if you ever write an employer a letter trying to get someone fired because your feelings were hurt on a public forum about a freaking sports team, get a life.

Third, I remember that post Sly quoted and: a) didn't think twice about it; b) didn't think it called out any posters in particular, and; c) thought it made an important point. Any jackhole can be a MIXUM, but why be that miserable about a pastime that's supposed to be fun?

I hope we can all find a way to disagree in an agreeable fashion (a standard to which I often fail, but always try).

In the words of Drew Carey, "Lighten up, people!"

This. So much this.
 
morning everyone :)

8am here in new zealand

just a friendly reminder that:

this is the internet
none of it really matters
its not that serious
ignore button is good
real life is more important
there are people outside that you dont like too, avoid them and move on

now im about to jump into a few hours of zoom meetings.

enjoy the day!

With each successive generation, internet is more and more becoming "real life."

But yeah, I don't really understand why people think they should be insulated against people they don't like on forums like this, when they aren't in the real world. These types of forums even give Ignore powers that you don't have in meat space.

If you are constantly in the center of drama.
If most people think you are wrong.
You probably have some responsibility in it.

If you get so mad over a damn message board and write countless of long ass DM to the mods, maybe you should take a break.
I've never complained about anything to a mod in a DM and never felt the need to do so.

Furthermore, the mods are, for free, giving their precious time they could use in other ways just to make this place live. I am grateful to them and I think they do an amazing job.
Monopolizing this time for your own problems, and expecting them to spend way more of it than they should have to, is in my opinion selfish and actually disrespectful.

Bingo. I've never had a complaint for any mod. If you are complaining to the mods you are already a problem.

"Meat space"....sounds exactly like what a robot would say...

About or to, are different things.

I think it's fine to complain to one of us (to a degree), but complaining *about* seems a little childish.

Speaking of that, Sly is a doodoo caca head.

This is possible. There are only a few people that could definitively say who wrote the letter to the Blazers and I am not one of them. If OB says he did not, I will take his word.

Agreed. I would never insinuate that he's lying. But the way he will not let it drop doesn't help his cause.

It really was friendly advice when I suggested he stay as far away from that topic as possible. No good can come from him addressing it. At all.

Most of the time, I do not see what you are posting. I was only able to see the comment I quoted because it was the last comment in this thread. Found S2 more enjoyable without the drama that seems to follow you. I have a good portion of S2 on ignore, even though I have nothing against them personally.

I have taken this approach to its logical conclusion. I have blocked everyone but me on this forum, so my own posts are the only ones that display in my feed. I have to say, since I took this approach, I find this forum both interesting and delightful. Also, no one ever disagrees with me.
 
THE HCP said:
I was going to not respond to this, sorry Sly, but....
I don’t let him get to me. Even after all this. I don’t need to put anybody on here on ignore. I don’t go on long rants about him again and again and again. So the whole “HCP/orinbaly” thing.....there is NO thing. This seems pretty one-sided.
I guess my only concern on here is somebody going to my employer again and going after me in real life again. Having to have a meeting at the Blazer’s headquarters about it? Calling my boss in to explain to him how I was bullying and being a racist and they need to fire me.....OVER THIS?
I could never do that. I can’t believe in this day and age with everything going on in this world that one of you felt this was what you needed to do. Trying to fuck with my kids and my family’s well being. OVER THIS?
And as far as claiming that I “went after and talked shit” about the 2 guys who have a podcast on here is what sent these guys over the edge? Because I said this dude was “foaming at the mouth”? Wow. Those dudes can do what they want and act how they want on their podcast and don’t need to apologize for anything. Props to them for doing it, that’s a lot of hard work. But to claim I was calling somebody out and to get DMs about it? Wow! And as far as @THE HCP ”stalking” people on here....c’mon. I got too much going on in my life to use my valuable time to “stalk” anybody.
So because I seem to be the reason and sole cause of all of this, the forum’s downturn, it’s time for me to step away. According to this guy, there are tons of people who will be happy about this. And maybe all the people who have quit this site because of me will return, as will the harmony.
Talking about my Blazers isn’t more important than putting my kids though college and being able to pay my bills.
It has been a fantastic run. I will miss the interactions for sure.
I will still be reading I’m sure, and I will work to keep the photography and sneakers thread alive over in OT.

I hope this post doesn’t get taken down, but I do want you guys to know that the SOLE reason I am stepping away, is this dude. Plain and simple. For the betterment of the Sly and the site. You sir deserve credit, not blame for how S2 is being run bro. Keep grinding.
We are all lucky to have a place to come talk hoops and smack.
Off to go help my daughter gets some shots off at the park with the dogs. It’s a beautiful day here in my glorious hometown of Portland, regardless of what you read.


I do have one request, PLEASE keep the Melo thread going for me, it would mean a lot.

John, I for one will be sad if you step away. I hope you'll reconsider.

Personally, I’m wondering if it isn’t someone who has been permanently banned but still lurks here. They can’t post but they can still read everyone else’s posts......and run with them wherever they want to. And several folks I can think of who have been banned (or left) the past few years weren’t huge HCP fans......I too will take OB at his word.......

Could also be someone that found real offense with his post. With anything, you never know who it will offend. I cannot tell that person they are wrong for taking it that way, but do think going to a person's employer is messed up.

If one of my employers mentioned there were complaints about my activity off the job I would want to know specifics, and who's bring the complaints. There has to be a the ability to defend or counter any accusations.

If they can provide screenshotted proof of you saying something racist, it's hard to defend or counter it.
 
What a No-Count move trying to get HCP fired and whining to the mods. Don't know either one personally but pretty classless. I hope HCP rethinks his decision and continues posting.

Oh.

Well, this is awkward.

Think about this for a minute Minstrel. If this was my real name, don't you think certain people would have tried to lash out at me? :devilwink:
 
To be honest, if many of your employers read this board, knew you posted here, and hadn't even seen any post attributable directly to you all..... I'd expect any and all of you to be canned. This is a filthy and dangerous place to be.

Never even occurred to me. I assumed you were loved by all.
