Re: MIXUM has been suspended

I truly believe that.

... and there was much rejoicing.

Good riddance

 

MIXUM has been suspended

It's sad that it took something like this to finally open the eyes of some. I think the main reason I love this place so much is because you can basically say whatever you want.... but this person used the death of a very good friend of mine for the purpose of stirring shit up. That is flat out disrespectful!

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

The fact that he was allowed to continue the farce of being a Blazer fan this long is sad in its own right. We win, you don't see him, we lose, he's everywhere.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Yep, I have to agree. I'm about as liberal as they come when it comes to allowing people to post what they want. However when Nate showed what MIXUM had actually posted it got to me a little. It was clear that MIXUM's sole intent was to irritate people and not just to offer a contrarian opinion. He stepped over the line imo.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

It's sadbecause I respected Mixums opinions I just didnt respect the way he delivered them. He could have delivered them in better ways.

"Nate sucks and the bench is horrible."
"The bench is our weak point and their are people who could do a better job coaching the team then Nate"

Same message gets across in just a more mature way. I'm not saying I've never yelled at how much someone is pissing me off, but it's just rude ot me to get on the message boards and insult them rather then critique them.

"defend what? they played with no guts or heart. they disgraced lucas

there ya go mo lucas. the blazers really played hard in your honor. just fucking sad MIXUM"

This is in no way dis-respectful to Luke, one of my all-time favorite players. If you think it is you've got issues with reading comprehension.

It's a simple calling out of a team that brought nothing at all tonight and quite frankly folded up their tent before the game began. I, like Mixum, feel bad for Luke that his team phoned it in on a night that they could have made a statement of respect for him by their play and effort.

The only ones using Luke's death for ulterior motives are the mods who banned Mixum for being accurate in his assessment of the team and it's place among the league. He aggravates many homers here simply because he is right about the team more often than not.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

A lot of me agrees with this post. I don't see how MIXUM disrespected Luke in the posts that NateBishop saved. Again, I don't agree with the decision, but I accept it because this isn't my board. Outside of Aldridge, the team played like shit tonight and barely tried. Very un-Luke, IMO. Suspend me if you need to do so.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

That's NOT the same message at all.

Mixum was talking about lack of effort, not lack of skill or talent.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Sorry, but I don't agree Maris. The one I have the most trouble with is the following:

Luke didn't like to be called Mo. If you knew him you knew that. Maybe that's petty on my part, but I did know him. The other thing is that MIXUM chose to mention Luke in his posts for the sole purpose of irritating people. That is obvious to me and it bothers me.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Or, perhaps they were affected by his death and didn't feel up to playing a basketball game after the death of a close friend? Maybe?

He was suspended for seven days. Feel free to take up the cause for him though, if you like. Perhaps Jesse Jackson would lend a hand?

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

The mods made the right call, thank you for the hard work

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Heroes among us mere mortals. Nose to the grindstone, etc. etc.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Not cool. I hate most of Mixum's posts too, but saying tasteless things about a beloved Blazer shouldn't get you banned.

Put him on ignore if it bothers you

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

We appreciate your concern.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

The three posters I was sure would speak up in MIXUM's defense, did exactly that.

How predictable.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

And who would that be?
