The forum is healthier when everyone realizes respect is mutual. You respect others, they respect you.

There are a lot of takes or posts here that you might find imbecilic or pointless. You don't have to voice that by insulting the writers/holders of said posts/takes. Explain why you don't agree. Use your words. If they don't get it, instead of getting infuriated and lobbing exclamation laced insults at them, move on.

Sometimes people give up and just fight fire with fire.
For example: i have mentioned to a specific poster several times in a friendly manner that he is being overbearing, and the response was basically a middle finger.
At that point one gets tired of being nice in the face of such selfish responses and the gloves come off.
There is a specific poster who never acts as if he does anything wrong but yet will not listen to anyone who tries to let him know the issue is he lives on this board and takes every conversation over.
When someone doesn't at least TRY to recognize the other side, when being pointed out in a non insulting fashion, i personally no longer give a shit if i take the gloves off.

If someone can not recognize they are being annoying as hell in the face of multiple people saying as such, then that person no longer deserves respect.
Respect is indeed a two way street and when a specific poster openly says he doesn't give a shit about others’ opinions but then clamors about how others are toxic, its a huge double standard and that person deserves every bit of stinky shit tossed at them until they understand what a two way respect relationship is.

in other words, when one person says he doesn't give a shit about my opinion, while spending all day and night trying to push his opinion on others, i no longer give a shit about being respectful. Especially when same dude is bitching a lbout the lack of respect he gets.

it really is ridiculous….and the fucked up thing is i like the guy overall. Just wish he would not be such a selfish ahole when it comes to others letting him know his nonstop posting is/can be annoying.

Respect starts with taking heed to others’ opinions and this guy does not do that at all.

I could go on and on about the childlike ignoring comments he makes but then doesnt ignore, etc, but its futile.
In his eyes his shit smells like roses.

But if you want a more vibrant, respectful forum, it starts with that dude taking a step back and recognizing his own daily behavior can be/is annoying to many posters.
Since he posts so often in every thread, ignoring him would make it confusing to read threads.

If only this guy gave the respect he says he should have, this would be a much better place overall.

I don't think it's even that people want to be agreed with. They want to be heard.

Does it matter why they are thinking they way they are? They have their opinion and you have yours. Opinions are like lips and assholes, everyone has them, and they are all different. You can accept someone's opinion without believing in it.

There is a key difference in arguing and debating. When you are debating, you both understand each other's side, have accepted the other's side (even if you don't believe in it), and have entered into an agreement to discuss said sides. When people argue, it's generally the result of not hearing each other. There is no agreement. That's when insults come.

And many here get tired of others trying to pound thier opinions into every poster in every thread…

It’s just funny to me how people are blind to some things but annoyed by others.

Someone posts a million variations of “Dame isn’t leaving” and they upvote that post every time.

Someone posts a Dame quote multiple times or shares reasons why they think Dame might leave multiple times, it’s annoying and repetitive.

Funny enough, I don’t get annoyed at people for their opinions on the team. If it’s something I don’t value I will skip over it or if it’s something I feel strongly enough about, I will post a response trying to refute it.

There are somethings people will always respond more vigorously too. Fans have a lot of emotions wrapped up in this team. It can be hard sometimes, even for myself to be cogent.

Dame leaving/staying is a hot topic. Even most of those who are advocating that him be traded, and sure that can be debated, don't really want to see him go. There are also a lot of people posting about him being traded who are just trolling. That in itself is not taken kindly.

People posting back and forth, "Dame is going to be traded," and "Dame is staying" are merely taking part in a squabble. They aren't debating.

There is often an assumption when someone posts a take/opinion and another refutes it, with their own take/opinion that first should then logically change their way of thinking, or suddenly take on the refuters mentality. This most of time, is not correct. Assumptions are dangerous. When you assume, it makes an ass out of you (u) and me.

One thing I have never understood in almost 3 decades of sports posting.....
....mods (I have been one many times on several boards) will usually ban someone who is a fan of another team who is there to ridicule, berate, and otherwise put down our team. But if you are under the guise of being a fan of that team, it becomes a "tolerable opinion". No, this is not directed at this group of mods, just an observation of many years of posting.

This is my team. I defend it. I defend it against those wearing Blazer colors, as easily as I do those who wear another teams colors. Those who continuously tear down the image of my team and who say they are a fan of my team, are by far the most irritating. But thank goodness I can use the ignore button. Well.......I can't use it on everyone

I appreciate the kind words, but it's not just me. There's this growing divide between the fanbase and it seems to be only getting worse. I don't like it. I understand that people are emotionally invested in this. I think I can see both sides, and I actually agree with both sides, but I tend to lean towards one side more than the other. I just wish that people weren't so toxic towards other fans over an opinion. I don't think someone is an idiot for wanting to keep Dame, and I don't think someone is an idiot for wanting him to go.

That's not to say that I haven't seen some idiotic takes... hell... I have probably floated a few myself, but I just wish people could disagree about the content of the post without attacking the poster.

Im just an idiot no matter what opinion I have.

Come on, Nate is the most disliked person on this board who gets into it with many different people on a weekly bases. But it’s not him, it’s the many other people he gets into it with right?

Yeah, I think it does well to express your opinion and move on unless someone is open to debating it. If one is just continuously restating their opinion over and over, they are metaphorically banging their head against the wall. If one has stated their opinion and provided reasoning and evidence for it, there should be no need to continue repeating it.

Your analogy is a little rough, but yeah, if people aren't listening or don't want to, you can't make them. If one frames an opinion and another replies with disagreement, continuing to restate the same opinion over and over won't likely make them accept it. Instead it's more likely just to lead to arguing and insults.

It's natural when your opinion is rejected, especially with a brief response that offers no reasoning, there is an innate desire to know why. We seem to have trained ourselves to respond with sententious replies. We understand why we disagree, but often we rejoin with impulse rather than explanation. We, say, "no" or "that's stupid" and we move on. It's laziness and a lack of patience, and we have to retrain ourselves to offer reasoning.

We can still be aggressive in moving Ant, Nurk and future picks to get better now. The upcoming draft is not considered strong. I don't have a problem with two timelines. But they need to get better now.
Click to expand...

Moving future picks seems very reckless with Dame on the verge of demanding a trade.

The Blazers also can't simply just trade the pick for the upcoming draft unless they also do another deal with Chicago. But if they enter an extended rebuild its possible they never convey that pick to Chicago so its silly to give up value now to eliminate a debt which they might never be liable for.

The #3 and #23 were the two picks to give up in a trade... now that time has passed. If the Blazers are adding a legit all-NBA star with Dame ok maybe we look into giving up some picks. But just getting a forward that is around an average NBA starter quality as well as shipping out Ant and or Nurk? The resulting team is not close to contending. So it would be stupid to have a significant amount of the Blazers future draft picks being sent elsewhere.

I'm not going to change my personality for you. I enjoy posting about the Blazers. This is who I am. If you don't like my personality.... sorry. I'm 41 years old. I'm not changing who I am. Other people repeatedly post the same shit over and over. It just doesn't bother you because you agree with them.

You can put me on ignore and guess what... I no longer appear in your feed to bother you.

You hate me, and I have had you on my ignore list for years. Any time I click "show messages" it's you bashing on me. You are one of the most toxic people on this board. You have less than 300 posts and I bet more than half are you bashing on me. It's hilarious and sad.
