Upcoming schedule = season OVER

You guys voted for him, just remember that.

Nik- Since you are a moderator, what are your thoughts on Mixum's intentions when posting?

I think he likes to tip-toe up to the edge of what is acceptable and occasionally steps over, but I also do believe that he's posting stuff he actually believes -- it's not all just for effect or to rile people up.

The real issue from my perspective is that he posts things a majority of people don't agree with and his delivery is usually pretty rough-edged. Neither of which are worthy of disciplinary action on their own.

its funny how i get called out when im wrong yet when im right (see my bet with primus) everyone runs for "other boards"

nobody wants to take on mixum. i saved these boards.

Yeah, nice analysis Nikoloklus.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yeah, nice analysis Nikoloklus.

Thankfully, we are not each other.

It's distasteful to criticize an entire fan-base, but it's a not a "personal attack" per se. When people start getting called out by name that's where I draw the line.

That is a silly distinction to make. So I can attack a group of people on this board and its ok but attack an individual and it isn't? Makes no sense. What if I were to attack the moderators as a group, is that acceptable?

The point of this board is to talk sports. Attacking (within reason) a group of Lakers fans is not only acceptable... it happens all the time on this board. Attacking a specific Lakers fan is not.

It's not a silly distinction and not really that complicated.

In terms of attacking moderators: they are posters just like you. Attacking them as Blazers fans is fine. Attacking them for something else isn't really something that should be done, although it unfortunately is done more than makes sense.

You're right, it isn't very complicated. Having a double standard and differentiating a group from an individual does make it more complex than needed. It also allows for the OP to continually antagonize the Blazers forum as a group on this site. If it were an individual it would not be acceptable but since a group is it is. The old idiom "whats good for the goose" should apply.

I'm sorry that we disagree.

Well maybe you should sit down and write some code for the new improved ignore list. Maybe it will include such masterful code that it will just ignore anybody that doesn't agree with your view. The point of a message board is to communicate thoughts about common topics folks are interested in. Not to create a message board filled with people who agree.

I have enjoyed those that have disagreed with me intelligently. To keep blindly just posting the most negative crap to get attention is an entirely different thing. I stoped the Oregonian when I lived in Hillsboro for the same reason. There are other message boards out there and leaving this one is not that big of deal.

MIXUM, if you look I have bumped your thread with Primus more than once, even though the terms you guys agreed upon departed heavily from the stance you were taking earlier in the tread. Just to refresh your memory on how much crap you were talking, then backed down from it, I will comment again on the 7 items.

1. The Blazers get off to a horrible start. .500 would not have been a horrible start. The start that Houston got off to was horrible. .500 is treading water.

2. Oden does not play 30 games. You were correct. Did you have medical reports or just thinking negative?

3. Roy misses 20 games. You will probably be correct, but again, did you go to medical school? I do not believe in taking everything the Blazers put out as gospel, but to always think negatively gets old.

4. A big trade does not happen that drastically improves the team. Terms were still not defined and may still happen. Most teams do not make a big splash like Orlando just made anyway at the deadline, so odds were always in your favor of this being correct.

5. Your original claim was that Batum was going to have the best season of any Blazer. He is shooting career lows, was taken out of the starting lineup, and finishes no where near the top 3 of Blazer MVP candidates. However, the watered down terms you guys agreed to are still being met.

6. Babbit shows no signs of making this one correct for you. Think this was just claimed so that you could say you were not always negative.

7. If the Blazers miss the playoffs, I think the other six do not matter.

As I said earlier, the NBA season is like a cross country trip. Some teams are going to have unique advantages in who is driving the car, HP of the engine, tires, etc. The Blazers organization is doing the driving and I am merely a passenger in the backseat. I am not going to choose to spend my time on this journey listening to someone else screaming OMG Season Over! at every fork in the road or bump.

Take care all.

my god this forum is so precious sometimes.

I am amused how you criticized (and continue to use YOUR criticisms of the bet as some sort of evidence) the terms of the bet, even though it was not a bet that you were making.

Upcoming schedule = season only about 40% OVER

We have 50 games left to play.

 

[MARIS61]

So how is it that this *happy fun guy* known as Mixum is not considered a fucking troll? This board has gone down the toilet just due to one fucking guy. I don't mind negative posters, since most of them don't seem to try to be malicious, but Mixum has turned this place into a dump. Even after a win he goes and baits people for being positive...fuck him and fuck this board.

FISH ON!

In the spirit of trying to raise the level of discourse, the mods should be doing a bit more editing than they have been. The personal attacks are fair game to be edited, and they violate the site rules. We recognize that there are many people here with thousands of posts and that a post that's against the rules, once in a while, is no big deal.

If you have a post edited and disagree with it, consider the mods are trying to do what's right and aren't acting out of some vendetta against anyone.

 

[THE HCP]

BUMP

 

[e_blazer]

Looking at the upcoming schedule, I see the Blazers realistically going 11-3 for the month of January. That would put them at 28-19 and right back in the thick of things.

 

[MIXUM]

i hope this thread keep being bumped.

Interesting that personal attacks are fair game to be edited, but not the obvious trolling that is responsible for the attacks.

Nice board you're developing, Denny.

HCP from the cheap seats!

 

[oldguy]

i hope this thread keep being bumped.

So that there will be no doubt about how clueless you are?

The worst the team can do at the end the string you are whining about is 3 games under .500. That's if they loose every game of the string from here out. That would be 'season over' to you, Eyore?

Go Blazers

 

[illmatic99]

I overestimated Houston. They're not that good.

And if we can steal one at Dallas (IDK if Dirk is coming back tomorrow), we can put together a nice stretch before the Miami/NY homestand.

And after NY, we have 8 straight games against teams with losing records.

 

[Ed O]

Was MIXUM saying that we were going to be NBA champs after the upcoming schedule?

No, he said the blazers suck, er, season is over. Shitty outlook for someone claiming to be a fan but certainly not for a troll.
