Pirates, Ninjas, Vikings (Was Big Time Centers Rookie #'s)

[DennisRodman]

I'll take credit for this magnificent thread I had little to do with. My starting post would be

Who do you prefer? Pirates, Ninjas, or Vikings.

 

[Ed O]

I hope you are joking man. Somebody has gone on here and changed this thread title. Is that in the rules? I would like to not have my name associated with something I didn't type or create.

I'm only half-joking.

The name of the thread changed because of the number of personal insults that were included in it (and remember that you threw the first stone) and it got super-sidetracked into ridiculous (if funny) ninja/pirate madness. The original name of the thread was kept as a parenthetical. This is a pretty standard way to rename a thread, in my experience.

Further, the thread content was excised to another thread so more productive conversations could continue for those who wished to talk about your original point.

Finally... why are you taking things so personally? Why do you care if your "name" is on a thread that was renamed? And why does it seem like you're bitching so much lately?

I guess he doesn't want to be associated with stupid threads lol. He wants to maintain his image, and reputation among posters as a chivalrous knight like Sir Lancelot.

You really think I threw the first stone? Here we go again. Lets go back and see if these guys had just talked about the topic at hand, it would have never gotten out of hand. And if you think i'm the only one who took offense to the way these guys acted you are wrong. It looks like to me about 10 other regular posters around here also thought those guys were out of line. As for your second point, I don't want it to look like I started a thread on our BLAZER forum about Pirates. I see some of the threads guys start on here and would be quite embarrassed to have my name connected to such a bad topic. First off, I didn't realize people could change peoples thread titles. That's not what I typed on my computer, and would appreciate it if you took my name off it. It's as if I am being misquoted in a newspaper article. thankyou. If it means anything, I would love to get back to talking about basketball. This never happened at BBF.

You called him a prick. You called him a jerk.

You were absolutely fucking ridiculously out of line.

I know you work for the Blazers, and I know that you love the rah-rah stuff because of that. There is NO REASON for you to personally attack other posters.

You started an entirely legitimate thread, and some people didn't see a lot of value in it. Whether they were right or wrong in their judgment is immaterial, because they did not treat you with disrespect the way you treated others.

And now YOU are playing the victim? Still? Give me a break. You're acting like a child. All day long you've been whining and complaining and bitching and sniping.

And if you think i'm the only one who took offense to the way these guys acted you are wrong. It looks like to me about 10 other regular posters around here also thought those guys were out of line.

That leaves, what, two dozen that thought it was fine?

The simple fact is that you are the only one who clearly violated the terms of service by personally attacking another poster, and you keep pointing fingers at others even after you ADMITTED you were wrong.

It never happened at BBF because it was much more heavily moderated. If I were moderating at BBF, I would have argued that you should have been suspended because of your unprovoked and entirely inappropriate personal attack.

Here? The rules are more lax. I think that it's more fun that way, and I think that most of us would agree.

With these lax rules, though, come some responsibility. Responsibility to not continually whine and play a victim, I would argue, is a key one.

Re: Big Time Centers Rookie #'s

Listen, i didn't name it EveryFuckingCenterToPlayTheGameAndTheirAverages. Why are you being a prick? I just thought I would throw some interesting #'s out their so we could discuss them, and you come on here being a jerk.

This is the comment you call in question...If you read the evolution of the thread you see cpaw giving pointless one liners then evolving into condescending smart ass one liners. HCP simply asked why he was being a "jerk or prick" AKA being rude and condecending. I think you are very mistaken in this matter EdO

 

[maxiep]

HCF, as an outside observer and one who thinks you were messed with a bit, the best thing to do is to let it go. After all, we're all friends here, even those who have the poor taste to root for the L*kers...cough...DaRizzle...cough.

 

[THE HCP]

Me working for the team has no relevance on this topic. I didn't call them a prick or dick, I asked why they were acting like 'em. Please take my name off the thread.

Thanks man, I thought I was going crazy for a second. And you know what, you make a great point. I'm just going to let it go. thanks again.

There's no such thing as "taking someone's name off a thread."

I think it's clear from the title that it was re-named, so I don't think you have to worry about people thinking you made a thread about ninjas and pirates.

Actually they did that to one of my threads at the "other" site about 3 days ago. I demanded my name taken off and it was.

well I know mods can merge threads, if I say created a thread Pirates, Ninjas, Vikings. This thread and it's contents could be merged into it.

It would satisfy HCP's needs and I wouldn't care.

 

[Denny Crane]

I changed the title, and have exchanged PMs with HCP and I think all is well.

Emerson Lake and Palmer did the best Pirate song ever!

"Pirates" from Works Vol. 1.

Wow what a complainer. You'd think that if someone got that emotional over this whole thing they'd prefer to move past it. Blah.

...but not the bad, not the failures. If people are already saying Greg could be headed to the hall, you must be steadfast and include the possibility that he is not. If other great centers have achieved such heights you must be resilient to such hype and consider that Oden is not apart of this group. Just because he has hype, does not guarantee that he will have success. You must be vigilant in your praise in order to achieve an objective perspective and ultimately, allow yourself the greatest chance of accuracy.

who knew there were so many rules to being a good hoops chat site internet poster? Do you have any other words of wisdom to impart on us mere mortal Trailblazer fans?

And a question sir... how many times have you been Yoda on Halloween? Ever think of going Gandalf to switch it up a bit???

What the fuck does this have to do with Vikings, Pirates and Ninjas? Stay on topic!!


FTW: Vikings are the best because I like to drink a beer from Orkney Brewery called "Skull Splitter" and it's named after Thorfinn Hausakluif, the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney, and the Vikings brought this kick ass style of ale to the British Isles and if they hadn't I might never have been able to enjoy the heavenly goodness that is contained in a bottle of this brew.

YOU ARE A PIRATE!

Re: Big Time Centers Rookie #'s

Why are you even on here right now? Are you on here just to fuck with me? Are you even a Blazer fan.

it seems like portland fans keep coming back to this(on both boards) when people start to say things they don't like.

why is this so important? people other than blazer fans aren't allowed to have opinions on the blazers?

 

[huevonkiller]

Everyone at S2 should be able to post anywhere they want.

Not a fan of serious costumes. Usually I like to dress as something funny for the night.
