Is it happening again?

[maxiep]

Anyone notice how MIXUM hasn't been heard from lately?

Of course not. We've been winning.

 

[cloudydays]

So you basically just proved me right, and told me that I have no right to post in the Blazers forum unless I plan on kissing Brandon Roy's ass. Thanks for that.

Not true. If you present yourself as a "neutral" fan instead of a huge homer of a different team, or at least appear neutral, then you can post where ever you like. The problem is when we get people who say I wish Roy would have been the guy who got hurt, Rudy flopped like Paul Pierce, etc. Not only do you look like a douchebag when you say that, but you also lose all credibility and you come across as a troll.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Point is, we don't all feel that way. I certainly don't. Ignore the posters who won't talk to you reasonably and discuss with those who will.

I don't feel that way as well. I like productive conversation (although I have been known to get snarky myself when I feel like I'm being insulted/purposefully misunderstood) and like outsiders views as long as they're respectful and not a post like "lolololololol brandon roy sucks lolololol portland never gonna win anything lolololol" or something along those lines.

You should just put people intentionally trying to start stuff on ignore. I have about six or seven people on ignore here and on RealGM I have at least 20 people. I find it is much less stressful and far more fun that way.

About my thread Lakers being Suspended

All I wanted to point out that the lakers recently have been in the press lately about being suspended. Then it became personal attacks on each persons ethics on their team and trash talking. Can we figure out why the Lakers keep on being in the news for flagrant fouls? I merely posted the thread (http://www.sportstwo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137476) about incidents on Lakers being in trouble not personal attacks. Can all moderators and other fans grow up a little and stop having threads closed/locked.

 

[Toko]

Can't we all get along?

 

[Minstrel]

I used to post all over the site on BBB/BBF. I would do it here except my time is more limited these days. Every forum one keeps active in is a huge time sink. Just keeping active in this forum takes a lot of time, pretty much all the time I spend on the net in a day.

 

[BasX]

Well, everything seems chipper now

Ideally. Of course, was this the ideal moment for it? We have tensions running rather high between Blazers and Lakers fans, yesterday and today. Tomorrow, I can clean that thread up and re-open it, if another moderators doesn't do it first.

Today, I'm a little beat from having to deal with flare-ups.

Re: About my thread Lakers being Suspended

Does anyone have educated worthwhile analysis on the Lakers behavior on drawing these types of fouls. I'm getting tired of the team bashing. Why can't the Lakers organization take in the fact that their players are being viewed by the NBA for their actions and being suspended. Use your brains peeps and stop bashing one another like HS teenagers. Use your noogin.

 

[maxiep]

it is absolutely laughable that you blame what happened at bbf on "trolling laker moderators".

Opinions vary. BTW, how does Basel's ass taste?

I moved your thread into this one, since it seemed to be about talking reasonably and such. Hope you don't mind. As I said, I'll re-open your original thread, so your issue can be discussed there.

 

[Moo2K4]

I'm actually with JE on this one, because I've rarely had pleasant experiences when I come in here. It seems whenever I voice an anti-Blazer opinion, I get jumped on and attacked until I leave. It's why I rarely step foot in this forum. I'd love to be able to join in on the conversations and debates here, but I constantly feel like my opinion is not wanted at all based on my past experiences.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Thank you Minstrel. At least you have tried some ethical understanding to my statement instead of reaching for the ball sack.
I don't care which thread is opened. I truly tried to state the fact the Lakers were in the news in the past few years and this type of behavior keeps on coming and theres no explanation why the Lakers aren't trying to condone or clean up this act. Would Laker fans really want their team to keep on doing this, and cause some fights in the stands, causing some 65 year old Vietnam vet to get hurt in the stands because a Laker player fights off the bench? This is a serious subject. We all want a clean game right?

So you can conclude a "type of behavior" from a sample of 4 fouls?

 

[J_Ray]

Weird how I was responding as myself, not everyone. Obviously my posts represent my and only my opinion.

What's your problem with the OT threads here anyway? It's already been established that I (though a few others seem to agree with me) feel that a forum belongs to its posters. If we want to talk about Jason Kidd on our forum, what's it to you?

and could you tell me why I would give a flying fuck? I've already written it several times, but I really don't give a crap about the other forums. Why would I? If, say, I want to discuss a trade proposal on another team's forum (which has happened), I'd just google "Bobcats forum" and find one. Problem solved. Again, do you only want to bring in more posters because you're already a mod here or what?

You're missing the point obviously but this site already went through this with Nets fans. When a search result from s2 shows up in a google search, they click on it and it'll go to the Blazer forum rather than S2's Bobcat, why would a Bobcats' fan be enthused to join a site if he sees a Blazer forum logo on top the thread? And No, I don't want to bring more posters here b/c I'm a mod, I want the site to be active. My old site, JBB, got merged with S2 and our whole forum was active. It was like a community of everyone, not just 1 forum, and it made the whole experience of posting fun. It gave you a perspective of everyone's view, but ever since we've come here, everyone is biased/stuck up and only care about their own forum rather than the whole site. So sorry for trying to help the site more enjoyable for everyone.

I will try discussing other teams on their related boards though to assist in this increase activity suggestion, however.

Thanks for trying it out, the effort is appreciated.

wow, that's clever. and if you are of the opinion that trolling laker moderators caused the problems at bbf, you're delusional.

[BIG Q]

See, I agree with you 100%, but you lose me where you start to say "purple and piss".

What's the point of trying to get your point across when you are antagonizing them at the same time? If you want them to STFU, wouldn't the best way would to be respectful of their team as well?

I am not antagonizing them when I am on the Portland board. If I was on their board I would be antagonizing them. Here I am not trolling when I state that I hate everything to do with the Lakers. EVERYTHING! I will be respectful if I go to their board, but I stay here. Most of us really dislike the Lakers and their arrogant fans. Some here are not as fervent as I am. But I am in my community, not theirs. I am certain they dislike us on their board as well, and I do not comment on that as I stay out of there. It works quite well for me this way. And welcome to the community.

Don't be a dick, don't act like a Laker homer (or any other team for that matter), and be reasonable. You do those and I promise I will have no beef with you...

Re: About my thread Lakers being Suspended

Its not like the 32 teams have 2 players (odom, Kobe) within 4 years to be suspended. I am merely revealing an observation regarding one club (Lakers), having 4 incidents within a 4 year period. I am not trying to single out those two players but I think its important to everyone that do the Lakers really want this type of pubilc press upon their organization?

You wont but you have to admit we have several posters here who just see him (and other Laker fans) with a Laker in their signature and avatar and immediately suggest they're trolls. That is not productive at all to any type of conversation.

 

[Wheels]

It's not only clever, it's a question you can answer. And like I said, I was there, so I know exactly what the circumstances were. By trying to feign knowledge superiority on this particular issue you're only demonstrating your own ignorance.

 

[Moo2K4]

Don't be a dick, don't act like a Laker homer (or any other team for that matter), and be reasonable. You do those and I promise I will have no beef with you...

I actually always come in to any forum with good intentions. I'm never a dick and I always voice my honest opinion. If it's a pro-Laker one, I voice it, if it's a pro-whoever the fuck else, I post it. Just because I'm a Laker fan doesn't make me biased. I may be a fan of the team but I'm a fan of the NBA first and foremost and I hardly ever let my fandom effect my opinion. If I say something, I believe it because that's what I believe, not because of who I root for.

Despite this, I still have been treated like shit on numerous occasions here.

 

[number 10]

That's funny, I've rarely had pleasant experiences when you lot have come in here. There's obviously some thick-skinned exceptions, but in general it doesn't work out well. So what are you doing here?

You're missing the point obviously but this site already went through this with Nets fans. When a search result from s2 shows up in a google search, they click on it and it'll go to the Blazer forum rather than S2's Bobcat, why would a Bobcats' fan be enthused to join a site if he sees a Blazer forum logo on top the thread?

You're the one missing the point. I don't care if a Bobcats' fan is enthused to join this site or not. I don't give a fucking flying fuck, how many times do I have to repeat that? When I wanted to talk with some Bobcats' fans, I found another forum. On another website. It wasn't that hard.

And No, I don't want to bring more posters here b/c I'm a mod, I want the site to be active. The old site, JBB, got merged with S2 and the whole forum was active. It was like a community of everyone, not just 1 forum, and it made the whole experience of posting fun.

So sorry for trying to help the site more enjoyable for everyone.

There's already plenty of places to talk NBA with lots of different people. At BBF there was a wide variety of forums for other teams, it did little to improve the quality. All the people on S2 sure haven't done much to improve quality, tonight's "invasion" being the latest example out of many cases where someone comes in here trying to counter all the "homerism," leading to nothing interesting.

You might get a little less crap.. a bunch from Oregonlive have migrated here.. where we have been trained to not post some stuff like allowed in here lol. But I for one love talking to fans of other teams, and look forward to having good sports conversations with you in the future hopefully.

You'd make quite the research scientist with that kind of attitude.

Let me spell it out for you: you cannot conclude a "type of behavior" from a random sample of 4 events in 4 years. Get it now?

That's good enough for me to be honest. As long as you can back up your opinion I will respect it...


Now I wish I could say that for the rest of the Blazer fans in here, but unfortunately it isn't. I guess you just have to learn to block out the idiots and ignore what they say.
