Shut up whore. You are nothing but a troll who seems to get a pass because you may or may not have a vagina

This is not acceptable.

Also Blazer Fanatic and Zags, you both need to stop with the arguing and insults. It's getting out of control. BF I know you're new here but insulting people just because they have a different take on the team or a player than you do is not acceptable.

I and no one else made the decision to suspend MM. If you have a problem with it I am more than happy to discuss it with you in this thread or privately.

Sly is the Wyatt Earp of the the Wild West S2 forum!

Actually, thank you for doing that. It was becoming like the *gasp* O-Live forum.
 
I thought his post was funny fwiw

It's the internet and they're just words

Its all in good nature. She's a flirtatious one. I don't toss around bad names like the Mediocre one does. I thought he'd become more of a gentleman when he moved to Texas.
 
I applaud yours and other mod's efforts to get a grip on the back and forth baiting and fighting on the forum which has become prominent as of late. It's really disheartening to see so many fellow Trail Blazer fans baiting and insulting each other, instead of discussing hoops and their favorite team. The infighting has really taken away from the fun of reading the posts here lately, as I am mostly a lurker. I love seeing what other people's opinions and insights into the team and it's players are, regardless of what end of the philosophical spectrum they fall on, but it's painful to see folks who root for and support the same team get so spiteful towards each other.

I'm glad there's plenty of leeway here, and the censor button is all but non-existent, but I am thankful you guys are willing to make the tough calls to keep this place a good community. :clap:
 
I love BFs basketball posts. Here other interactions? Not so much. I guess she isn't the only one but it sticks out lately.

With that said MM was over the line. And I do thinke he gets a bad wrap but this time he brought it upon himself.

Word.

Why can't we all just get along. :sigh:
 
I hate to see long time posters put in time-out....but that comment was way over the top.
 
Who is going to step up over the next three days and fill the "Leonar_" quota of 100 mentions per day?

MM seems like a nice guy, but he's been blatantly trolling for responses for most of the season. The "Assclown" stuff was tiresome enough re: McMillian, but at least it pertained to the coach, who definitely plays a key role on the team, and not a bench player who has almost no impact in whether the team wins or loses.

Hopefully when MM comes back, he'll stop with the stupid "Leonar_" insults, which aren't even original in the first place. The obsession with Meyers seems unhealthy as well, but maybe it's a release for him. Calling a poster a "whore" is just flat-out insulting, and isn't really worthy of any respect toward that poster in the future.
 
Interesting. BF doesn't hesitate to call posters stupid. Personally I would rather be a whore than stupid, but I guess stupid is allowable and whore is not in this forum.

Bad call from the cheap seats up here . . .
 
MM was out of line in that post and a couple others. So the short term ban is acceptable.

@PapaG I think there are a lot of people who are sick of Meyers "Leonar_" and the reason has very little to do with MM's spelling. He was a lottery pick and has sucked, and considering we just recently got over the tragedy that was Luke Babbitt and Nolan Smith, his play and CJ's injury was bringing up the sour taste the draft has left in most of our mouths Lillard and Aldridge excluded.

Question don't you have to be stupid to be a whore?
 
BTW, Blazer Fanatic, I love you, and I don't care whether or not you have a vagina. People need to stop being mean to each other, and just give love.

The Leonard stuff just gets tiresome, though, and MM posts about "Leonar_" in threads that have literally nothing to do with Meyers. At some point, it's either ignore the repetitive BS, which is what I do, or lash out at simplistic posts, which seems to be the tact of others.

It's not allowable. The insults between BF, Zags, MM and a few others have gotten out of hand, I haven't been paying as close attention as I should and that is my fault. I am talking to BF about these things via PM. She's new and gets some slack. I have spoken with MM publicly and via PMs many times about personal insults. He knows the rule against it because he points out how times people insult him.

I personally disagree about being called stupid is worse than being called a whore. Maybe that's just me but I just wouldn't call a woman a whore. I can't help but think that if someone called MM's wife or daughter a whore he would react far more strongly than if they just called them stupid.

lol, so serious here now that this has become the "official" team forum... Its too bad it did. I thought it was a great place before hand, not that it isn't still good, but some of the posters it has brought has turned me off from posting and reading here the little bit I did anymore.

That's because I'm not at the center of controversy, and these other posters aren't as nuanced in getting under people's skins?

The slow play...

We have never tolerated personal attacks, and we try to stay on top of them.

Why is my squeaky clean image getting dragged in the mud over this?

BF knows I'm joking. As much as she thinks about me handling "the rock", our relationship on here is strictly platonic.
