I can't hear you, speak up.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

1. I would be inclined to believe that, if not for the fact that when you try to have a debate with him, it always breaks down into petty name calling. Some people use statistics to back up their arguments, while MIXUM only uses derogatory remarks.

2. Death is a VERY sensitive subject for a lot of people, MIXUM knew that when he posted what he did. He wanted to see what kind of reaction that would get, just so happens this time he crossed the line in a lot of people's eyes, maybe not yours, but you're entitled to your opinion.

3. I honestly don't feel anything MIXUM has ever posted was insightful. There's a difference between burying your head in the sand to avoid the ugly truth that is the world we live in, and simply looking the other way to save yourself the trouble of having to listen to the incoherent ramblings of a smear artist.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

i think that was the right move. not ban worthy but over the line. nice job IMO

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Do you realize what you've done? You've sent Rudy to a Buffalo Bills forum to bitch and moan for a week. The material he has to troll with that team pales to our Blazers.

The mods on this site have no compassion. Way to make an 0-7 season even more painful for folks in the Rust Belt.

 

You aren't an arsehole. You're quite lovable, actually.

Read the thread (first page).

Maris, you're the worst American and I question your citizenship.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Hi guys,

When I saw the thread title, I thought "WHAT? Basatards! You gotta be kidding me!" but then I opened the thread and went "oh. I get it."

It is no surprise that BGrantFan and MARIS jumped to his defense. The two of them, Mixum, and myself are the biggest pot stirrers in here. I don't include MM. He just states his own unique opinion, IMHO. The 4 of us are all guilty of riling shit up for the purpose of riling shit up. MARIS' act is Rudy/Sergio are the best players ever even though he knows they're not. BGrantfan's act is to be as abrasive as possible and then turn on a dime to be as defensive as possible (what? what did I do?) and then turn the thread into a discussion about himself. Mixum is the one I get a kick out of the most because he's so damn consistent. It makes me laugh. You all do know it's an act, right? He's entertaining himself, not participating in any serious discussion. How do I know all of this? Because I'm guilty of all of the above.

I think Mixum crossed a line tonight. Not just for using Luke's death in vain but also for cruelly attacking the players only 24 hours after they lost someone who had worked very closely with them, traveled with them, worked on their game with him, early in the morning, late at night. Brandon and LaMarcus were probably the closest to Luke since they're the only active players left from three seasons ago when Luke was actively working with the team. And Nate, our coach, was clearly very close to Luke. It is a cliché to say "let's win it for him!" after a death in sports but in reality, I don't think it's necessarily that easy. Everyone deals with a death in a different way and to demand that these human beings respond to Luke's death in a certain way is just mean, IMHO. Of course, as I said, Mixum's act is just that, an act. He would never say that stuff to those players' faces. He's not mad at them. He's in here to make some of us feel bad and to have fun while doing it. The problem is that there are people in this forum who knew Luke personally and more people who felt they knew him over the years. Now sure, there are people in here who aren't a wreck over this at all but we have to take care of those who are. We're a family in here. This isn't about free speech. Mixum hasn't been muzzled. There are a ton of other places on the Internet for him to express his mind. He'll be fine. He has Twitter and Facebook. I believe Denny Crane and Nate Bishop made the right move (a 7 day suspension after which, like Artest and Arenas before him, he will be free to participate again). There is grieving going on right now.

That's what I think.

Go Blazers. RIP Luke.

Cool, I'm unique.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

There's no doubt about that.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

THANK YOU!
It's a great day to be a Trail Blazer fan!

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

They would never go anywhere where there was nobody for them to mess with

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

That's a great question. You should ask it in a thread about that specific topic, and not in one about a poster who was suspended.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

If MIXUM is suspended shouldn't he be fined as well? That's the way it works in most professional sports.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

You know the best way to kill a troll?

Starve it to death.

If enough people put them on ignore they will quickly bet bored of posting horrid shit that no one reads and leave.


I think it's because they didn't get hugged enough as children. Either that or their parents made them use the tolliet too early.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

I'm usually pretty tolerant of Mixum's shtick, but I thought he crossed the invisible line between controversial and inexcusable. A 7 day suspension doesn't seem totally uncalled for.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

I guess I didn't see it as anything ban-worthy, at least as an isolated example.

That said, I can certainly understand how others would be irate over those posts, and I'm quite sure that those that knew Luke are a bit raw with emotion right now. So, after further consideration, I understand the suspension and agree with it, solely for the good of this community. There is nothing fun about death, and having many posters arguing with MIXUM over Maurice Lucas on the day after Luke's passing is not what I would want this forum to be about if I ran the place.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

What a doooshy post.

 

Re: MIXUM has been suspended

Yeah... it was clear about 6 or 7 years ago when he started his crap. If I had a dime for every time this drama has been played out... I'd get me some season tickets.
