Damn, I missed a lot apparently.

@dviss1 i deleted yours as well as gronk since you guys were saying the same thing to each other, so if I delete one, I have to delete both. I deleted over a dozen messages from multiple parties. I don't mind sharing my reasoning, but do also remember I'm not on here all the time. Still like you, my guy.

@honkicracker It's just like Sly said, I did it to pretty much say "I am watching this. Please curtail it." Not to get adulation (because I know/knew I wasn't going to). I deleted most/all the messages to 1) get the argument off of here, and 2) hopefully make people understand that it's multiple people, and not one person, igniting, and elongating the argument. Again, we are all adults, and if we were able to restrain, we wouldnt need moderation in the first place. But we're human. Hell, I've had to be moderated. Shit happens.

If I missed anyone else, I'm sorry. But that's the gist of it.

Since Carmelo went to Houston, we might even just lock this thread up. We'll see.
 
Since this thread has gone off the rails, I would like to say that the end of Force Awakens leading into Last Jedi makes me think it was all a dream sequence.

Luke is still alive, and he and Rey are just on Achoo island running around like Yoda and Luke did on Dagobah.

Biscuits, waffles...is this a breakfast thread now?

I like omelets, personally. And we all know that @Carmelo Anthony likes honey-nut Cheerios.

Probably not blurry enough.

I know, right? It's almost like it's the TV show version of a movie (like Ferris Bueller's day off for example).

Sure it was called Star Wars, and had the names of the characters, but it wasn't really the same.

This thread was never on the rails.

This thread is the greatest thread in S2 history. This thread should be cherished as such.

bro....the insult rule is simple...you do test it.I've tested it. .in OT it's been the culture since I joined here but on the basketball page...we should all try to think before insulting people personally....I've been triggered....I've deleted my own unnecessary snarky posts...if we all just talk about the subject matter without the triggering the board would be more fun. I have to keep a few people on ignore because they just aren't enjoyable to debate with ….I look at it like not yelling in a movie theater or cussing in church...things I've been able to adapt to without compromising my inner urge to break a rule. I have zero tolerance with one guys insults around here concerning me....I just keep him on ignore. The forum needs your humor and expertise..it doesn't need either of our tempers though

I have tested it in the past and after that bullshit with Nate I decided to not let others make me skirt that close to the line again. Since then, I feel like I've been good at eloquently staying on the right side of the line.

Feel free to disagree, but I feel like I didn't break any rules in this thread and frankly, I think that someone who fucking calls me a "circle jerker" is committing the crime, not the one telling him to get outta here with that bullshit. To equate what I said to what he said is crap to me and to delete both of our posts "out of fairness" is weak! We're not in the same boat, nor cut from the same cloth. I've been completely open about NO being in make or break status (with me) this year. Same with Stotts. But if I don't admonish Neil (I've been doing plenty of that since Ed Davis) I get called a fucking circle jerker... So if I can't tell him to GTFO (something that's not a personal insult) after he breaks the insult rule by saying we're getting off jerking in a circle... I guess I gotta walk on eggshells when I respond.... Or just not respond.

Not sure why I need the soliloquy...

Frankly his posts SUCK and everyone here knows it.

Wonder if I broke a rule there... Don't think I did... :dunno:

While I understand your point, I also let people know I was stymieing the argument. Therefore, I took out most if not all of the participants in the argument. I said that I deleted multiples of posts that had to do with the argument, I never actually said you broke the insult rule. I was just curtailing the argument.

But Gronk is now in other threads telling people they have "pathetic lives". Like Dviss said, y'all need to reign him in.

I’d love to know what I posted that was worthy of being deleted by this @Strenuus kid.

Like I've explained to everyone else, @HCP I took out all participants of the argument. I deleted your posts to gronk and about gronk, as well as his to yours. None of it was serving a purpose but to further the argument.

We will have a discussion about Gronk.

I pretty sure I wasn’t out of line. But whatever helps keep the peace.

The vast majority of posts that are edited or deleted are done without anything being said.

Sometimes I do say things, especially if there is a large multiple post argument between more than one person.

Sometimes you make the "oh shit, dad just got home!" post so everyone know the mods have seen these posts and are taking some action.

This can be done for multiple reasons, 1) It's a nice way to say knock it the fuck off. 2) People have either sent complaints or PMs about posts in the thread.

I don't have time to write everyone and explain what I'm doing or going to do.

But even if @Strenuus did seek a "gold star of approval" (which I don't buy, Stren is a good dude who knows he'll never get props from people who were moderated) what's wrong with that? The mods do a shit load of thankless work around here. If they want to take a victory lap after reading through some of the BS around here then I'm fine with it.

Sorry for the extra work but really. Who the hell writes to a mod and complains about another poster??? Seriously? You can’t discuss that with the person first hand and try to solve it without a mod?

That shit cracks me up. Sorry.
