I pledge to Block the troll

[Further]

I pledge to block the troll (you know who I mean) for the remainder of the regular season at least. I have put him on ignore (user CP > Ignore list)

If enough people follow this pledge perhaps it will make the board read a little easier. And after the regular season we can all decide if we want to continue.

Join the pledge

i dont believe in the ignore feature. i love the clusterfuck that is the blazer's online community

plus i dont think we have a troll. we have a couple highly irritating people

 

[LameR]

At different times, other posters are worse.

 

[MIXUM]

the funny thing is .... i dont force anyone to read my threads. having to put me on ignore means you must be a weak person....and a god you could never be

 

[The Professional Fan]

I think this post defies every thing you're trying to do when "blocking" him. How long has the internet been around? That is how long troll's have existed. It's been a long time. It's incredible that after all this time, most message board communities still don't know how to deal with this common and easily defeatable nuisance.

In fact, by me responding to this post I have made a mistake in this war against the trolling rodents. Dumb me.

I <3 MIXUM! Keep up the comedy, my man!

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

No one is forcing us to read MIXUM's threads... but he has created 363 threads and counting since we arrived here. That, combined with his... let's just say hilarious posting style makes for a kind of human trainwreck you can't look away from.

Which is fine. I'm just saying.

Quality over quantity my friend.

And there I go....responding to this thread again. Fuck! I'm guilty of feeding the troll once again. I'm clearly not exempt from bad decision making!

You couldn't make someone read your posts anyway, so you get no credit for your statement. It meant nothing.

I actually don't mind him in doses, but it just gets irritating to have him all over the place. I would like a little more real discussion from this board but whenever a thread does get interesting it seems to get hijacked. Honestly, I have just as much of a problem with the posters who are always attacking him every time he posts. But the combination of Mixum and his enemies has really made this site much less enjoyable for me. So, for a period of time, I am going to go without him. If I like it, I will keep him on ignore, If I miss his crazy antics, then I will un-ignore him.

Years ago, on a different forum where many of these posters have migrated from, people would discuss issues. Now, everyone seems to take one side or the other. I don't care about debating just to debate, i would rather discuss. But I know if I start a thread about Aldridge and his growth, it's just going to become a battleground devoid of give and take. So I don't post threads like that. The board suffers for all the posters that don't post because they don't want to squabble all the time, and instead keep their thoughts to themselves.

Seems to me you should smite the troll.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I don't get all the angst ... OK, that's not exactly true, I get it -- a couple of posters around here annoy the hell out of me -- but it seems so obvious that Rudy C is just playing a 'character' on the board.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Da Rizzle isn't a troll, just a L*ker fan.

So all the Blazer fans want to be around the same, overzealous, optimistic people? Guys like Mixum are the reason why the forums run strong.

I don't think you understand why people dislike Mixum. It isn't that he isn't optimistic or overzealous, infact I think you'd find many people here dislike the people who fit the description you just gave. People have a problem with Mixum's presentation, him constantly making multiple threads minutes after each other that are about the same thing but worded slightly different, and his refusal to respond when he's been proven wrong.

People like him don't keep the forum strong unless you just count empty quantity to be superior to substantial quality. He has his good times, but I'd say 80% of the time he's just a lowercase typing Kingspeed.

I think I made my position perfectly clear in this thread, didn't I? So, all minus at least one would be somewhat more realistic.

MIXUM makes me laugh. I have no problem with him at all.

+1

MIXUM isn't there to be taken seriously. And if you don't take him seriously, why would you get upset? He sometimes amuses me, sometimes bores me (when he gets repetitive and doesn't find new shticks quickly enough)...when he bores me, I move on to the next post in the thread.

 

[DaRizzle]

MIXUM isn't there to be taken seriously.

Yes he is....

I told my roommate who never goes on here about MIXUM and how he is never happy with almost anything good the Blazers do and the responses he gets. My roommates response was "Well yeah, they suck"

...I then pointed to how the team has gone in the right direction since the JailBlazers era
His response was "At least the JailBlazers took the Lakers to a game 7 in the WCF"

His responses so simple yet so very true when you think in the grand scheme of things.


I think MIXUM is more concerned with the war while you guys rejoice in the battles


...points to ponder

I think you may be overthinking things.

I also think your housemate may think you are a bit crazy?

Well of course hes thought that since HS....duh...

He does Car forums....lol

The Jail Blazers were later (and actually, earlier) than the 2000 team.

Also, if he refuses to concede that point...the Jail Blazers might have taken the Lakers to 7 games, but they also choked in game 7.

An epic meltdown for a supposedly veteran team. Rasheed could not buy a shot in the 4th. I hate that day of my life. Had we had the capability to text and Tweet, I'd have made an even bigger fool of myself going into the 4th quarter.

Obviously your roommate is a fucking idiot. But whatever.

THANKYOU DARIZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow its amazing nobody else has figured that out. Ive waited sooooooooooooo long for someone to post that.

I mean thats what drives me insane.Nobody realizes that this team as is will never go that far.
Its like lets celebrate we beat the thunder in OKC.. ok great win but how about winning 2 playoff series? Beat the lakers or take them to the limits? Thats what i just dont see in this team and never will. I can sit here and praise them when they kill the pacers but thats where its always at. Its time to make bigger achievements and not keep settling for minor ones. Like i said i just dont see thsi core ver getting by round 2 and thats if they are lucky to get by round 1.

 

[Minstrel]

Interesting thesis.

I told my roommate who never goes on here about MIXUM and how he is never happy with almost anything good the Blazers do and the responses he gets. My roommates response was "Well yeah, they suck"

Clearly a scholar.

...I then pointed to how the team has gone in the right direction since the JailBlazers era
His response was "At least the JailBlazers took the Lakers to a game 7 in the WCF"

The Jailblazers were a hell of a team. Not sure how that's a stinging retort.

His responses so simple

There is no arguing with that.

yet so very true when you think in the grand scheme of things.

In the grand scheme of things, Kobe Bryant barely existed in the history of the universe.

I think MIXUM is more concerned with the war while you guys rejoice in the battle

Whatever MIXUM is concerned with, his prediction track record suggests that he's not very good at analyzing those things he's concerned with.

But then, he's not being serious, so why would he have predictive value?

...points to ponder

Duly pondered. What does your scholarly roommate think about health care legislation? Does it suck or totally rock?
