Hi Eric. The OT section is one of the major reasons I do not post here often, it had nothing to do with whether Mixum was unbanned or banned. Mixum was annoying and a gimmick, but it is easy to ignore people like that.

Not so much to ignore your fellow beings who so clearly lack empathy in so many of the OT threads up there.

It's a scary world. Some people have different opinions than you in an open forum. Stick with Democratic Underground...

Darling, if you can't understand the post, don't respond. Continue your bickering with MM as he runs circles around you.

 

[PapaG]

Other than the double standard that exists in this forum, I'm not upset at all. Please feel free to bash me when the blazers win a title under Nate

By your standard, every coach since Jack Ramsay has been a failure. What's weird is that you're one who always wants Adelman. What has he won?

Huh? What's your schtick, sweetie? I don't have a beef with you, other than wondering about your OT problem.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

No shtick. It isn't my fault you can't connect the part you put in bold with the second part of my post, love. Differing opinions aren't scary, they're thought-provoking. Lack of empathy for your fellow human beings, however, has nothing to do with having a conflicting opinion.

I didn't expect you to understand, though, dear.

 

[SnakeOiler]

Blazers won!!!! Mixum sucked.

 

[PapaG]

Seriously though, what happened to Nik? I think there has been another migration.

Oh, you weren't talking about me, then.

Exhale. Thanks for coming back guys.

I hear you, TheSebastianExpress. Thanks for chiming in. Would be great to have you back in the Blazers part of the forum though.

Not at all, actually. Not winning a title is not failing. IMO Nate won't win a title with the Blazers. Not winning a title doesn't make him an overrated coach. An antiquated offense, poor substitution patterns and a defensive scheme that constantly takes Aldridge out of the low post does though....IMO

There has been. Several people moved to a different forum. So far so good

So, you whiners had MIXUM banned, and then you moved?

I doubt it...

I certainly didn't have Mixum banned. I thought banning him was bulshit.

Yeah, I knew there was a reason we got along sometimes. I just don't like you posting that you lost your passion. Seems odd to me.

People are different. I didn't think this team had the horses to compete for a title at the beginning of the season, so once the deadline passed without retooling, which I thought the team needed to do, I lost some interest. Then when a coach that I don't think is the guy to lead this team to the next level was extended, I lost more interest. I still watch every game on league pass though.

Your history precedes you. I'm not the only one calling you out, M Man. It's sad, but I have to think at this point that your entire act is trollish. You are 95% of the time critical of the team. That you posted a few semi-positive posts tonight can't make up for your history. I guess I don't understand why you're upset about this. Wasn't this your intention? To be challenged for being a Nate Basher?

Are you the board policeman? After you get him banned, who's next? Me? I'm critical 60% of the time and I'd like to replace Nate.

I'm not the one whining to the mods in that exchange. Read for content, poet!

 

[jlprk]

I'm surprised you're saying that Mediocre is too negative, when you (and I) defended Mixum against being banned for being too negative. If negative people bother you so much, why did you oppose banning Mixum?

 

[KingSpeed]

Yay! The board is livening up again!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Nik said he was taking some time away from the forum.. Wasn't there a whole thread about it?

 

[Natebishop3]

It's spring break. I'm out having a good time

Mama mia, did I scare ya off, paisano? You just off and went.

Wanting others to have liberty and freedom to make their own choices is empathy. I resent the implication that I lack it.

 

[jlprk]

It takes all the empathy I have to keep looking at that picture of you as a baby.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Seriously speaking....what was the straw that Mixum broke to get banned? I've been traveling of late and trying to keep up, but totally missed the specifics. All I was able to see (in one thread) was something about Mixum "not paying taxes," as the reason?

So I obviously missed what/how Mixum's banning went down. Anyone care to give me the "two sentence overview?"

Thanks

Nate stepped down as moderator, there was a big thread, many talked of banning mixum and mods being weak/not enforcing rules. Nate and Mixum got into it, mixum compared himself to the bandit who causes trouble; Denny took this as a subtle admittance that he was only here to cause problems/troll, and they bampersanded him.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I wonder why you are in here provoking things? Isn't this the sort of shit that got Mixum suspended? Where are those mods now? Eric asked a question, and some of us responded. Then you came in and made this thread your own personal "I have a small penis, look at me" thread. I get it, you disagree with my views.

Isn't calling people names a personal attack? Where are the mods? How can this be ok?

I guess I'd just like a mod to explain why some people can personally attack people, and others can't

I went out to dinner and then to Spirit Mountain Casino with the girlfriend. I am very sorry that I was not here during the time that you needed me. It is never okay to attack anyone except me.

Thank you SebEx! I always thought that Mixum enjoyed being a bit of an ass. On the other hand, he did post some interesting thoughts. I never let his antics bother me. In fact, I thought his presence made for a more lively forum than in his absence.

There was a larger context. For a week or two before that, attacks accumulated from a few posters. A campaign was going on, making him more defensive about his existence on the board. He started making fun of himself, such as the bandit stuff. Then they used those words against him.

So now there's no one to start threads, unless KingSpeed does it again. Denny needs to assign one moderator per night to replace Mixum as spark plug.

When I've had time I have been trying to post more links to articles. Other people are also doing more. Darkwebs has been killing it with the game threads. Really really nice job.
