Webster Status?

[blue32]

Will he be in tonight?

 

[Shooter]

I believe this WAS the target date for his return, wasn't it?

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Wheels said he is set back another week. Feeling a little pain still and some tendinitis in knee.

 

[e_blazer]

I saw a blurb somewhere saying that Webster won't play on this trip. They want him to get his wind back a bit before he goes into the rotation, so they're looking at sometime next week.

 

[timmay]

In Casey's recent interview with Martell, he said he wasn't sure he'd return on the road trip. He said he was feeling good, but would rather miss a few extra games and be full ready, rather than come back a few games earlier and have a setback and end up back in the boot.

He'll probably be back by the upcoming home stand. It sounds like he's very close to return.

 

[blue32]

Ahh cool, thanks for the info guys!

Engage!

 

[maxiep]

He said he wanted to return today because it was his birthday. So, Happy Birthday Martell!

May I just say that your avatar is in poor taste, and violates the "language" code of the site. Your use of the "f" word is completely gratuitous and unnecessary.

 

[sabas4mvp]

Webster was listed as doubtful in the Blazers game guide when was sent out yesterday.

Are you kidding? Jean-Luc in kickass mode? I think it's hilarious!

Yeah, but it's fucking funny.

Hey, chill the fuck out. Jean-Luc is the man.

And I find half your posts in poor taste and unnecessary, but you don't seem me complaining?


In all honesty, you can turn Avatars off if your that damn picky. That's what I had to do (for signatures) because of a bunch of bullshit political garbage making it's way into the forums via sig's.

Your joking right? So I supposed you don't approve of my avatar either?

This isn't BBF bro. Go back there if you want to panty wad.

Only half?

Here is what a moderator had to say on this topic:

I guess the point I'm trying to make is if you must swear, use it in as tasteful a manner as possible. If you can get a point across by no swearing, than don't. We have the filter off because we feel it's unnecessary and we feel that you guys can control yourselves. So please, just monitor yourselves. If it's not necessary to swear, than don't.

Could it be any clearer?

When you post an avatar with an obscenity in it, and it sits there on every post you make, you're clearly not using any discretion regarding swearing. And it's clearly not "necessary" to swear in an avatar.

Give it a rest dude. Quit being "that guy".

Turn Avatars off, if you don't like it.

Go blazers!

That's not policy, as far as I can see, just Denny Crane's encouraging people to be responsible. As far as I'm aware, bad language is allowed so long as it isn't used disruptively. I don't think that avatar is disrupting anything. Posting one post after another obscenities in a thread would be disruptive to discussion.

If you're not happy about the possibility of seeing such language in avatars, you have the option of turning them off.

When someone swears every time he posts (through his avatar), that IS disruptive. And it's certainly not being "responsible," by any measure I know. Every single time he posts we have to see his gratuitous swearing. There's no point to it, it's just his childish way of showing off and getting attention.

Dude, I barely post on here and I assure you, it's not to "get attention". I have a beautiful girlfriend, a great (albeit boring) job, and a wonderful social life. I merely come on here to get up to speed on the blazer news and share my various "opinions" with other blazer fans, just like you. Basically my point is, I don't need the attention, the avatar choice was something I thought was funny and in the spirit of this board.

So take your right-wing crack job rasheed sucks posts and attitude back to the BBF where you belong. You cause more trouble 'round here and BBF than any other member I've ever seen in the years I've been lurking/posting.

and do me a favor, see Jean-Luc on your way out.

 

[BrianFromWA]

That's totally elitist and generalistic, Blue...


Conservatives can like Picard and not like Sheed at the same time, just like everyone else.

 

[blue32]

Not trying to be elitist, I just call it like I see it with him, there was no need for his attack(s) on me.

<---- Engage!

Your need to tell us about your "beautiful girl friend" is another sign of your immaturity. I couldn't care less if you're dating a sheep or your first cousin. What concerns me is your offensive avatar.

And I'm the "intolerant" one?

I rest my case.

You claimed that he was seeking attention by using bad words in his avatar.

Since you seemed so eager to psychoanalyze him and his motivations, it kind of makes sense that he'd demonstrate that he has priorities other than this board.

That's ridiculous.

So you are disagreeing with Moo24K, the "NBA West Producer" of this site, who said the following:

Who's running this site, anyway? The right hand doesn't seem to know what the left hand is doing.

Thanks Ed, I appreciate the rational and exact thinking. He just doesn't get it, and frankly I'm surprised he's made it this far in life...

Edit: I'll strike my last remark. Save everyone the trouble. All I wanted originally was the damn Webster update.

 

[Ed O]

So you are disagreeing with Moo24K, the "NBA West Producer" of this site, who said the following:

Yes, I'm disagreeing. I think that's an oversimplification because there are ALWAYS alternatives to using potentially offensive wording.

If blue32 didn't have "fuck" in his avatar, it wouldn't be funny.

We (or at least I) am not going to be worried in the slightest about use of curse words except in the most extreme circumstances. That might offend you, but that's tough shit from my perspective.

We all have priorities other than this board. It's completely irrelevant what his girlfriend looks like. But since there was an entire thread on bad language not so long ago, I thought we all understood the guidelines.

Nice, Ed. You're a classy guy. You're a moderator of this board and you've chosen to insult me.

Excuse me if I get a little offended when a guy's avatar says "Fuck you" every time he posts. I won't complain about it anymore, however. I can see it's falling on deaf ears.
