I guarantee we'll win at least one in New Orleans and bring the series back to Portland

First I am not the one that assumed ban. Second, I not sure what "only warning" accomplishes. That means there is something more than a warning next time? What would that be? Third even those who break the cardinal rule in here get many more than only 1 warning. Fourth, there have been plenty of bets in here. I have paid @SlyPokerDog 120 bucks on a lost bet before. Bets aren't against any rules. Once again, I not a mod so take this with a grain of salt but I think the whole post was better left unwritten, in any form.

Edit: Actually it was 200 bucks! Ouch.

I guess I -do- have to spell it out word for word.

1) I said some - I wasn't implying you. I know you didn't say that. I thought that was clear.

2) I have no ban privileges. It would have just been deletion of posts. That's it and that's all. No banning, no words of banning. Just wanting to curtail it.

3) It's ridiculous the assumptions people make. It's pretty clear. I wanted to ban the troll yesterday, but I have no ban privileges.

I'm glad you paid up. Thats great. Theres nothing against betting, that's between the people. But when it turns personal on the forum, I'll nip it in the bud. I have no problem with doing that. I was not the only one that took the words as jabs rather than "complimenting" him, which it really wasn't, and wasn't taken that way by the recipient of the 'compliment'. Therefore, I stepped in. It would turn cyclical very quickly.

I used my discretion, I issued a warning. There were no ban implications made. But apparently, they were assumed. Now it's cleared up. Lets drop it.

If I had made that guarantee, I would have eaten crow and gave an apology or statement to that affect.

Still not understanding why he has to apologize.

I appreciate all that you do and bringing that troll to my attention. You do a great job!

In the series prediction poll I picked the Blazers to win in 7 games. I also predicted the Blazers to win in 2 of the score prediction threads. (I didn't enter in two of them.) I would like to apologize for those very wrong predictions.

Oh he doesn't have to do anything. I'm just saying I would have.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

But why?

I guess I can see that up to a point. If I had started a thread before the season that I guaranteed Zach Collins was going to be rookie of the year, at some point I'd have to raise my hand and say, welp, I guess I got that one wrong. But i wouldn't think I'd need to apologize and i wouldn't expect people would be mad at me about it.

Annnnyyyywaaayyyyy....moving on....

How did I get myself into this conversation? LOL

Well Gents, and Gentiles, It's lawn mowin' time in the valley....

Cheers!

Will you apologize if you end up not mowing your lawn? Will you post before and after pictures to prove you mowed your lawn? Will you eat crow if you accidently run one over with the mower?

Yes.
No.
Maybe.

Not really. King traveled to support his team, not understanding why people would give him shit for that.

He gets shit for making everything about himself. You can't put him on ignore, because then the forum becomes unreadable with his rush to start every thread. He deserves way more grief than he gets. He travels to support the team, not to be a great fan, but to be able to brag about being the best fan.

Predictions and guarantees are hardly the same thing.

Duh, everyone knows I'm the best fan!

I'm still dog enough to apologize.

I'm still dog enough to apologize.

That's why you're fan's best friend.

Hahahahaha!
