Oh also. I know I can get pissed at things. Things can piss be off, but I speak my mind about it, let my feelings be known and then I move on. I am able to be friends with people Ive been in fist fights with. Sometimes shit happens, but when your honest about your feelings most understand and it helps things. Holding things in and holding grudges doesn't help anyone or anything in my opinion.

I think it isn't so much that people are too sensitive. I think its people cant get over things and move on.

I hear you. He was actually joking with Mags, with whom he has in fact established rapport. In all reality, it was wrong of me to even bring you up in relation to his jokes, because they had nothing to do with you directly, just race overall.

I apologize for stirring up dissension.

I don't think

Sooooo...

For right or wrong here is my take.

I deleted the black joke and left the Asian jokes. MM was clearly joking around with Mags so the Asian jokes made sense in the context of the conversation. Tossing in a black joke didn't so I removed it.

This is the only reason he's on ignore. I'd like to take him off so I can read the forum correctly. Just know he and I will NEVER have that type of rapport.

Wait, loophole. If im not insulted they cant be insults, right?

No loophole. We have many new members, most are not aware that we pretty much have only one rule here, and that is the no personal insult rule. It's not about allowing you to be insulted it's about keeping this community friendly and focused on basketball.

No one asked for my take, but Im giving it anyhow. I am one who has often felt that MM was here to just cause trouble. As I have read more and more of his posts, I have come to the conclusion that I am partially right. He is here to cause trouble. the good kind. He doesn't mean any offence, but doesn't give a shit if you are offended...to a degree. Im starting to come around on MM, especially when I read things like what he said that I quoted. I can relate to that feeling that there is a unity here and a closeness regardless of having met in person or not, because we all share at least one thing in common. The love and passion of our Blazers and want for them to be successful.

I personally don't like that MM usually brings the pescimistic viewpoint, but he is still a Blazers brother in my opinion and for that reason alone I can better understand most of his comments and not get offended or put off by them...(until you bring the holocaust into it! ;) ).

MM is a bit like Dame. Speaks what he believes to be the truth and then thinks about the consequences in the aftermath. Sometimes annoying, but mostly commendable.

The other day when he called me colored he certainly meant to offend.

I think this is great though. Now I can take him off ignore so I can read and enjoy this forum without unnecessary racist comments hurled in my direction.

It's a good day.

Not mad.

And yes, you guys can send personal insults to each other via private message all you want. And if there is one you are especially proud of please CC it to me.

Now that's funny. And here I was thinking you went into robotic PR mode with canned responses. :)

Indeed a good day. Anytime people can come to a better understanding of each other, even if it isn't complete, is always good.

Now lets hope this new Blazers roster can do the same!~!!

Are there any other black forum members? I think I'm the only one. The stupid shit that you don't seem to understand is that you are just pretty much a racist. Making random black jokes for absolutely no reason is racist. You don't seem to care that you're racist though. But I'm very glad that you will no longer be able to her all those racist insults toward me. You wouldn't do it to my face anyway...

I never called you colored. I dont think anyway. My memory is all but gone. I caled basketball players colored

So damn sensitive

Now, before anyone (MM) says anything stupid, Mags and i go back years on O-live.

You see, this is a personal attack and insult. Something that is against the rules. It would have been ok through today, but sly said no, so now he has to edit or delete it

So damn racist... Yup. I've had racism hurled at me all my life. So yeah... I'm pretty fucking sensitive about this shit... I always will be... It has no place in our discourse...

I knew you would say something stupid. Common sense should tell you that nobody considers this an insult...

Now this is a perfect example of something that should be said via private message. Please don't call anyone a racist. Now I have to do one of my fucked up editing jobs.
