Is Whiteside better than a healthy Nurk?

[BonesJones]

He's new at being a mod. He'll grow into being a dictator like the rest of us.

Oh great, I was thinking you didn't see this shit. So you saw it, and nobody reached out to me to let me know what was said? Did you guys just hope that I'd never see it? I don't care if you guys think it's a joke or not, that's something you have to take seriously. At least let me know what the fuck happened.

 

[BonesJones]

It was directed solely at me. I understand that when he mentioned the show it effects you though.

Yeah, he directed at you and said something along the lines of "I'll make sure nobody watched your podcast" as well as something about hurting the channel? Correct? That's threatening my (our) work and an income source for me. Also why it would've been helpful to see what he said.

 

[BonesJones]

Threatning fellow posters on here is not acceptable. Joking or not, don't do it. No fucking around with this. It is an offense that can get you banned. Fair warning.

Shouldn't everything else he's done before this been his warning?

I'm just saying your name wasn't involved so maybe the mods didn't think about how it would effect you as to why they didn't reach out.

 

[BonesJones]

What's sad is I could bring in 50 new posters to this place that would be good contributors just by advertising it on my channel, but situations like this make me not want to. The fact that this guy is still allowed to be here is mind-boggling to me.

 

[BonesJones]

They know we do a podcast together. They know you appear on my YouTube channel. How they couldn't connect the dots there is beyond me.

 

[BonesJones]

But fine, here's a message to the mods then: If someone threatens my work on YouTube and you delete it, let me know.

Fair enough

 

[Chris Craig]

So I hear that this guy said he's going to try to hurt my personal life/job, and it was passed off as a joke by a Mod? Could I see this post that this guy made? And I assume this guy is going to be banned for what he said, right?

Shouldn't everything else he's done before this been his warning?

No need to admonish the moderators. I will pm you. I am not going to repost it. Only Sly has ban power. I agree it is a bannable offense. I wrote as much.

 

[jlprk]

The board rule fascists have ruined another thread. I'm not even skimming content now. I'm skipping a half-dozen posts at a time, looking only at the poster's name before deciding to skip ahead.

reading? no
skimming? no
skipping almost the whole page? yes

Yeah CC was on that bro. He shut him right down.
There is no question it was wrong on many levels.

 

[Blazers1977]

You obviously have no fucking CLUE as to what lines you don't cross kid. You don't joke around with messing with or ruining people's lives off the forum. I can't IMAGINE what clicked in your brain that made you think that was okay, but I wish I could say I'm surprised.

You've done a better job than anyone of hurting this forum, and I'm struggling to understand what your purpose is here other than to piss people off. Fuck off and troll somewhere else.

I've gotten into it with people in the past but I can say this is the first time something from this forum has actually pissed me off. Don't screw around with me kid.

“Fuck off DONT screw around with me kid.”

How is this not a threat / not against the rules?

 

[Blazers1977]

You have to have the self awareness to realize that with your posting style it's impossible to know your intentions joking or not.

I'm on Blazers Uprise for fun. I don't get paid and I have a job/career already so I'm not trying to "make it" in media. Nor could anyone do anything to "finish" our show since we have never broken any YouTube rules. So the funny part of your joke would've been if you actually thought you had enough influence to do anything about it.

What was surprising to me was @TorturedBlazerFan's reaction to it considering everything that has gone on in here lately.

my “threat” was merely telling people about how negative you are. The only way you could believe this would matter at all was if I were some giant media force, which you know is ridiculous. You’re feigning outrage. I already apologized and you never cared about the “threat” at al, you just want to get me banned, obviously. Can you please stop pretending I made some horrible threat?

Generally, I would consider editing/removing parts of that post, but you crossed a line. Joke or not. You don't go there. He's pissed and he should be. Your lucky your not banned at this point. Move on. Let it go.

This is why I have a problem with you. You never apologized! All you said was you thought it was an obvious joke. When you post the way you do you don't get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to joking. The only reason you said it was a joke is because @TorturedBlazerFan gave you that out by assuming you were joking. I know you have no influence to follow through with your threat but the fact that you threatened anything at all is a bitch move. All because I'm a negative person? I'm actually not but okay. Sure, I fully admit I wear my heart on my sleeve when it comes to my Blazer fandom and let the lows get to me more than they should but you of all people shouldn't comment on the way anyone else in here posts.

Blazers1977 has been banned

Blazers1977 has been banned

What did he do as the final straw?

 

[Lanny]

If there was a maybe, Id probably select that. I think Whiteside is a better lob player, and better rebounder, about even defensively, and not as good at passing, shooting, and post play.

Nurk is a lot younger than Hassan and on a great contract for the Blazers too.

When Nurk is Healthy they have the best Center duo in the NBA.

Whiteside is leaving us at the end of the season. We'll probably lose Anthony, too.

 

[Lanny]

Jesus. This place. Fuck. Why is this even a conversation? Does it REALLY matter to any of you guys who is better? A new guy to the team, or a dude that snapped his leg and is recovering.

They BOTH are awesome in their own rights. WHY, do we have to say that one is shittier than the other? That's some retarded crap right there. Can't we just support both of them? Oh, hell no; not around here. There's got to be an arguement about everything.....

I disagree, dammit.
What can I say, I use to work for the CIA forcing confessions out of bad guys. I love to argue. Also love to waterboard.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Mods should be consistent. But they aren't.

I'd like to see what was posted because it pertains to me and this guy is threatening my life outside of the forum.

Been screaming this for years. All the mods do a fantastic, thankless job, and deserve praise, BUT consistency would be tremendous

Was he threatening you or just messing with you?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Winning is all that matters, so if The HCP is our starting center and we are winning, he's the best

 

[Mediocre Man]

I'm assuming this is a joke, but I'd appreciate it if we could keep jokes threatening people's livelihood off of the board. At least use a green font. I'm not one to censor really, I think people being allowed to speak their opinions is good so don't take this as anything personal, I won't delete this one.

Overly sensitive bullshit society

LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP


transitioning to new brain meds, by the way, so merry Christmas

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I clicked on this thread to see what people thought about Nurk v. Whiteside, only to see that the last several pages don’t even discuss that matter.

More S2 drama. Shocking. At least when I found a thread, it wasn’t just partial bullshit and drama. You guys sure know how to go all-out.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Should that matter?

Boom

 

[Chris Craig]

What did he do as the final straw?

He posted a further insult which was removed and so was he

I think Anthony is staying

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm going to get you all fired. Jody is my god mother.

I have a great insult

I've had a great day. Today wasn't it, but I've had one
