That's totally elitist and generalistic, Blue... Conservatives can like Picard and not like Sheed at the same time, just like everyone else.
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. Ed O.
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.
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. *yawn* Ed O.
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.
I never saw a post with him insulting you. oh... and... [Nope] I apologize, Im just sick of Shooter trashing every thread with his moral superiority complex.
That's an insult? Are you kidding me? You claimed that everyone knows the rules. And yet you are the only one complaining. That indicates to me a consensus that you are not a part of. It's no insult to point that out, after you called out blue32's avatar and claimed he is using it to call attention to himself. Please complain if it makes you feel better. It's a free country Ed O.
We do. Bad language is allowed, up to moderator discretion. Ed and barfo can correct me if I'm speaking for them incorrectly, but I think we are concerned with obscenities when they disrupt the discussion. Avatars don't fall into that category, as far as I am concerned. As for who is running this site, the Blazer board (along with other team boards, I assume) is given general autonomy, so long as it doesn't violate the overall site rules. The site policy allows for obscene language. It's up to the moderators of each forum to apply discretion. I apologize if that's confusing.
are you talking about the Webster that has played for Portland the last few years and is out with a foot injury? At best that guy has been an okay bit player but he's certainly not been a difference maker... more like invisible. Here's hoping for the best and all, but I'm not waiting on that guy. STOMP
It appears that Travis Outlaw fans have a hard time dealing with the thought of Martell Webster and Martell Webster fans have a hard time dealing with the thought of Travis Outlaw. As it is now, Martell Webster has produced at a higher level than Travis Outlaw coming out of high school. Will Martell Webster be more productive than Nicholas Batum? I think so, but I do agree that he is a bit of a mystery when thinking of how he will produce when he comes back healthy.
Who the f do you think you a?...fucker. See my avatar for how to do it son. Totally not gratuitous in the slightest. You really are an uncle fucker aren't you? I think you should spell your screen name blew32. Blew32? Well, that is just this week... hahahhhahhahahahahahahahahhahahah Sorry to disrupt the discussion, but sarcasm often does require profanity so it fits in with the "guidelines" As for Webster, we need that fucker back ASAP Frye needs to go to the NBDL. I don't think he is allowed to play in the NBDL, but maybe Paul Allen can hire an attorney and appeal that rule. Some game tape of Frye should be quite compelling IMO. EDIT. took out my avatar because of another thread. sorry. it was funny
To help you with your categorizing me, I'm a Trailblazer fan and don't think that much of Travis. I think even less of Martell because he's been the less productive player at most every facet of the game, but they are both mediocre talents. Believe you me, if it was Travis who was out and Martell was healthy and producing at his normal invisible level, I wouldn't be on here saying... Jesus fuck we need Outlaw back... because thats ridiculous. Both guys are a loooooong ways from being a difference maker. STOMP
Satire is difficult to detect on the internet, I understand but "Jesus fuck" was a reply to the one who wanted the language toned down like a Roman Catholic church. Anyways though, I would argue that the comparison between Travis and Martell is a bit irrelevant since we know Outlaw is a horrid starter in this league and Martell is a pretty productive starter in contrast. We know Outlaw will be a backup, whether that be a backup 3 or 4, he is and forever will be a backup. So the question is, who would you rather start? Martell or Batum? I think Martell IS a difference maker when looking at the alternative in Batum, who is most often not a difference maker, at least now.
