    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    Please don't argue just to argue on this. It was a ridiculous post on Mixum's part. Using Maurice Lucas' death as a tactic to rile people up is despicable and further illustrates just how much of a troll he really is.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    So that makes what he did ok?

    What is the ratio of posts about a former player who passed away to being a complete idiot and making a stupid comment?

    I should totally build up some good will, so I can make stupid and insensitive comments later.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    So it's ok to make sport of someones death, with the sole intention of inciting a negative reaction?

    He needed a time out, the board was getting cluttered with his bs.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    Not a bullshit suspension. 7 days isn't that long. As much as I don't like him, he shouldn't be banned. But the suspension was fair. It was only going to escalate.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    I don't. What did he post? It has apparently been censored. Can I have a link to his post that merited a ban?

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    Different forums have different standards. That should be okay. One of the standards that this place has held sacred is the right to say pretty much whatever you think, and use whatever words you wish. Having a policies like that can lead to conflict. Denny and the mods here have done an outstanding job managing this policy in a sane and level headed manner....even making room for a pot stirrer like Mixum to provoke conflict and stimulate discussion.

    Mixum has this time crossed the line of human decency. The staff here responded and the appropriate choice was made. By using the death of Coach Lucas to promote his anti Blazer agenda he went too far. I don't think he should ever be allowed back here.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    Did he say anything that was disrespectful to Luke? If not, I don't see how a suspension could be warranted. MIXUM will use anything to rile people up here. That's been obvious for as long as he has posted. Maybe I would feel differently if I actually saw the posts, but I can only go by what people have described here.

    MIXUM has been suspended before. These are fun events for him.

    And using the death of someone is crossing the line.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    I guess I don't find those posts suspension-worthy. It's not my board, though, and I had other things to do during the game than get wrapped up in MIXUM's web.

    Seems pretty weak to me, though.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended


    Thanks for that Nate. I've changed my mind. I think a 1 week suspension is warranted. Those posts bothered me a bit more than I thought they would.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    Well said, I agree that while MIXUM's "tactics" do stimulate discussion. Most of it is negative, and the majority of it is about MIXUM in general then about basketball (I'm guilty of doing this as well).

    I've said it a few times before, but I really feel he brings down other posters, and actively tries to ruin the forum experience for the community.

    That's your opinion, and we take it into consideration.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    Also in the interest of full disclosure, the decision to suspend him was mine. We do allow people to be assholes, but we don't allow people to be hurtful, and his posts were just that.

    Obviously I'm a little more sensitive to them than you. :lol:
