    I say someone tries to act like a dickhead on the internet, and my post gets deleted, but said dickhead calls someone an asshole and dense, and it's still there. Awesome.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    What I don't get is why other posters take the bait and give him a reaction (if that was his reason for bringing up Luke, and I'm not certain that it was).

    Seems easy enough to just shrug it off than be upset about it and retaliate by attacking MIXUM.

    All What? All your defending of his actions. He is responsible and he doesn't need anyone's help. Really what is the Point?

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended



    That's been the best part of this. Mixum layed into the team because they were playing like pansies, and not like Luke would want them to play in the wake of his passing, and got suspended for it. HCP has a picture of him pretending to punch the recently deceased icon, and that is ok. I personally don't have a problem with either, but the double standard is amazing. People like HCP (I am one of them) and people don't like Mixum.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    So what if I am anti-censorship? This thread is about MIXUM's suspension. Should I not comment on it, or should I just critique the opinions of others, which seems to be your purpose for posting in it? I happen to agree with the suspension, as I previously posted, but not necessarily for the reasons given by the people in charge.

    I know! Sly called Sly an asshole and the mods have refused to delete that post.

    Selective moderation to the extreme!

    Don't forget the mod calling someone ignorant. That is ok too.

    That's pretty much it, isn't it? Without people spazzing out about those rather tame posts, there would have been no suspension.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    There's really no reason to overthink this. HCP knew Lucas and, presumably, his avatar is a picture of the two of them kidding around.

    What is the alternative? That he was actually in a fight with Lucas, and the punch just happened to be captured by a third party?

    I don't know this for a fact, but I would be shocked if HCP's avatar picture is anything less than a tribute to the man that he knew... a tribute to his sense of humor and the time that they spent together.

    For someone to look at that picture and think that HCP is actually punching Lucas... ? That strikes me as utterly ridiculous.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    HCP had a post deleted from that very same thread. I don't see the double standard.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    For once, it is actually on-topic BS. The only surprise is that you seem surprised that a thread about MIXUM would be discussing MIXUM.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    You are ignorant for believing that the picture is showing someone about to be punched in the face.

    "Ignorant" is actually giving you the benefit of the doubt, of course. You might actually have the proper facts and are being disingenuous in your use of them.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended


    Shouldn't it also be presumed that Mixum was honoring Luke by wanting the team to play harder?

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    No. MIXUM has no history of honoring anything Blazers-related on this board, while HCP has a history of knowing people related to the Blazers.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    I don't give a rat's ass what HCP meant by posting that picture. I don't even pretend to know what goes through HCP's mind most of the time. All I know is that it is in extremely poor taste to post a picture of a man about to get punched in the face when said man has recently passed away. You would think even the most simple-minded poster would realize this.

    For God's sakes, Ed. You astound me. I never had any doubt that the "punch" was faked, but the very idea of it is offensive. The look of it, the feel of it, even the slightest notion that Lucas might be punched is repulsive--especially in light of the fact that he just passed away.

    For you to take such a literal, lawyerly approach to this subject is mind-boggling.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended


    How about the thread MIXUM started that announced Luke's death to the forum that read "Maurice Lucas RIP" "sad"


    That's even recent history
