Notice Foaming forum problems....

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Thằng khốn kiếp!

Means you're pretty.

No.

Anh ghét mày.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Impressive! I love you too.

I couldn't remember if it was "Anh" or "Tao"... or maybe I could use either?

Minstrel is neither dude nor chick. Minstrel is a non-binary bot constructed by Denny Crane.

If anything, I think Minstrel is a developing AI trying to learn and mimic human emotions. Unfortunate, it would only learn to have the emotional well-being of a 3 year old if it only learn from this place.

Close, but you guys are way off.

I'm very spiritual.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

I returned to the forum today to express condolences about Halimon, Pip's son, (and now Riverman's brother.) This thread, however, snared me like quicksand.

1) If someone actually tried to get HCP fired over what he posts here, I sincerely hope they go die in a ditch.
1A) If Orion says it wasn't him, I would give him the benefit of the doubt.
2) Anybody who takes HCP's postings here as malicious are just being silly.
3) As for the specific post in question, I think HCP was wrong. If people can foam at the mouth, then they still care. The opposite of love isn't hate - it is indifference. That's me. I can no longer give a damn about this perpetually-wallowing-in-mediocrity franchise. Maybe some day they can win me back, but it grows less likely as time goes by.

Bye.

If you have put alot of work into it, then its been a largely futile effort it seems, as hcp simply cannot stop talking about other people he has conflicts with and im not gonna stop calling him out for it.

If you don't leave HCP alone you will get increasing longer vacations from the forum. The same thing goes for HCP.

Sly you mention me stalking him but STILL completely dismiss how he stalked me for a year and stalked bones for another year. Pointedly making comments at us with no other purpose than to instigate drama, why do you refuse to address this head on?

I have addressed this. I've talked to you and HCP in private. I've tried to get you guys to try and patch things up at Meet and Greets. I haven't dismissed anything. Lot's of people in this forum post to instigate drama, including you and me.

if your putting in alot of work over this, you are part to blame.

Yes, you are 100% correct. All of this is my fault. I have tried and failed multiple times to end all of this.

I mean how much work is it to quote a post like that and say “hcp this isnt good for the forum and it just creates drama. Can you please stop making your posts about other posters and keep it on the up and up?”

Come on, you've made entire threads on this forum bashing people.

all your work working so hard and all you had to do was what i just said, here and there, and i would see you are doing the right thing and wouldn't say a word. But your refusal to do this.... Your continual dismissal of his behavior... has prolonged all of this.
You mods need to also take some ownership.
Period.

Do you remember your problems with Cup? Boob No More?

But more importantly, I've told you before, instead of replying just either flag the post or PM staff. Let us handle it. But you get upset and go after people. You're not the only one who does this, I'll see someone insult someone else, then that person insults them back and then flags the original insult. If a drunk driver hits a drunk driver they're both at fault for being drunk drivers.

im not taking all the blame. It takes two to tango and you mods let it go on wayyy too long. Were all to blame. But im the ONLY one here is is mature and man enough to do so

No one is asking you to take all the blame. I'll take it.

I didnt do those things. No matter how it looks or how much hcp or anyoen wants to accuse me i never took anything outside of the forum.
But dven with that said i HAVE apologized several times to hcp for wven possibly having a part in putting the idea in someone elses head.

Yes, you have apologized. Then you've retracted your apology. Then you've claimed this never happened and is all some giant conspiracy by HCP and the mods. Then you've apologized again. And finally tried to justify why someone would write his employer. Come on, you've been all over the map on this.

Again. All you have/had to say is you could have addressed this more matter of factly snd you and other mods should not have dismissed his behavior back in the day.

We have done this. With both of you. It has not worked with either of you.

Again. I told you he is on ignore. Did you miss that?

Awesome! Thank you, I do think it is for the best if both of you do this.

Much like a few weeks ago when you accused me of being snarky and insulting but when asked for you to point if out, you ignored it?
how do you expect me to not think you are biased and put effort into complaints when you pull that?

I'm not sure what you wanted me to say. You were upset and your posts contained personal insults that I was editing out. If you can't acknowledge or remember what you had posted just minutes before there really isn't much of anything for me to say. Instead of continuing the argument or starting a new one I thought it was best to just leave you alone. I have done this in the past with you and it's worked very well.

I've said this many times publicly, privately, by phone, and in person. I like you. I think your a great guy and a huge Blazer fan!

I already know it wont be the response I'm expecting.

I should get you and Mrs PokerDog together so you can both discuss your disappointments with me.

Go enjoy the beach.

Thanks, I did!

I dont want hcp to leave i just wanted him to give fellow Blazers fans the respect they deserve.

We all need to try and give each other more respect around here because we all deserve it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

not my feelings.....Sly will do what he wants.....my baby brother died this weekend...that hurt my feelings.....I just like HCP and kjironman as friends......you I don't pay much attention to at all....

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. If he was half as good of a man as you are I'm sure there are many grieving over his passing.

RIP

 

[Natebishop3]

leave HCP alone

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is why you have a ban hammer Sly.....in my view you either need to use it or lose more quality forum members ...having meetings and spending days dealing with it for free is completely unnecessary use of what is supposed to be an entertaining fan site .....coddling this ongoing problem is not solving it.....my 2 cents....I used to feel bad if I couldn't make a meet and greet...that's sure changed. With HCP and kj bailing....the writing is on the wall. To me it's become glaringly obvious what's gone down here and it keeps getting a pass. Good luck with this mess bro....I hope it works out for your sake. I'll be here much less from here on out.

I have always treated this place as a community instead of just one more internet message board. We meet up in person. Many of us have made lasting friendships outside of the forum.

@Orion Bailey is a hell of a good guy most of the time in the forum and every time I've had the pleasure of interacting with him outside of the forum. He attends forum get-togethers and events. Has even hosted get-togethers in his home. He is a huge fan that loves the team. I'm going to try everything I can think of to try and end the problems instead of ending the person.

I admit I have completely failed. Failed so badly that now in a forum first, that makes me very nervous, instituting a rule that only applies to two people in the forum. That's very dangerous. That has the possibility of others demanding special rules that only apply to one or two people.

OB continually demands special rules that only apply to one person. The personal insult rule is fairly easy to understand, to explain, and to enforce. How do you come up with a rule that says no joking or teasing or whatever the complaint is if at the moment it happens someone else doesn't like it?

I firmly believe that when it comes to rules fewer is better for members and staff.

What is going on between HCP and OB isn't a breaking-the-rule problem. It's a both just need to realize that and leave each other alone problem.

I used to post here a fair amount. All this petty crap is why I don’t post much anymore. Fucking ridiculous and total poison.

Too bad. I love the Blazers and no longer have that fun rip city community now that I live in CA. I wish I could come here without the drama but it seems like that’s no longer possible.

Listen Henry, nobody wants to stare at your arm anyway.

Checking the last page again like 2 days ago...This is STILL the most boring thread I have never read.

Sorry about your brother, Riverman.

I don't get it. Most people get along just fine, but if you dont like what someone's saying, why not just put them on ignore.

I don't get the narrative that you essentially "cant avoid the drama". It seems like there's a rather easy solution to that.

 

[jlprk]

While I believe that all of you should be fired, I understand that as the only one here with any letter-writing ability, it's all up to me, and I'm tired.

You seem like a person who collects cats. Just not sure if real or porcelain.

My neighborhood has had no barking dogs since I developed a taste for them.

 

[BlayZa]

people really trying to get other people fired from their jobs cause they cant handle shit on a forum.

seriously?

that is beyond not normal. id say its time to talk to someone (ie a professional) about de-stressing. This isn't healthy.

Don't think the irony of you talking about 'de-stressing' while having Sheed, Bonzi and Damon in your sig is lost on me! We all know those guys could 'de-stress' with the best of them! Maybe HCP, OB and the letter writer should spend some time in the OT thread about 'Favorite Strains.'

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I demand a special rule for me.

sly, give the man what he wants: to be banned!

how’s that for a special rule, FAMS?

Agreed.

I also don’t get the narrative that people get all worked up and take this place serious. And not just S2... pretty much any online forum. If someone is that worked up, it’s pretty easy to walk away (and you probably should).

 

[tlongII]

And I still don't care...

Yup. Honestly, I think it's a cop out. It reminds me of how suddenly all the fans abandoned the team during the Telfair years because they "couldn't support the Jail Blazers anymore." Of course, it obviously had nothing to do with the fact that the team was shit and nobody had any issue supporting the Jail Blazers when they were contending with Pip and Sheed and Smitty.

The internet has been a toxic place since it was invented. It's not a new thing and there isn't a single place on the web where you're safe from people arguing and feuding. Doesn't matter what the subject is or the hobby. I think some of these guys just outgrew it. Or they lost interest in the team. Or they have other things eating up their time. It's just easy to say "well S2 is too toxic for me." When was it ever not toxic?

A couple things. First, I genuinely don’t like to ignore people, threads make less sense and many times the people who I would ignore for drama reasons, make interesting bball points. Secondly and more importantly, it’s never one poster in a vacuum. Other posters comment, the mods get pulled into it, and the flow of the board gravitates towards that drama. Thirdly, even when people are ignored enough of the spat comes through that I end up un-ignoring them just to catch up. Then I realize I’m smack dab in the middle of drama again.

I come here to relax and enjoy a topic I love. Not to try and filter out people and threads and topics. it’s easier to just stop coming or at least disassociate emotionally to the point that I stop participating.

 

[Hoopguru]

Both OB & HCP are really good people and would help anyone here in the forum, if they were in distress.
Its best to be slow to speak and quick to listen and meditate about being on a beach in Hawaii under a palm with a bottle of rum and a nice looking women.

 

[BBert]

Haha. So many posters leaving.

I left a long time ago!

 

[BBert]

....twas a joke about how I don't remember people very well...JEESH, pay attention!

Too late. I'm going to take that post completely out of context and destroy you!

For now, and forever more!!

Bwahaha!!!

But first let us drink.

I like the turn this thread is taking.
