    Re: MIXUM has been suspended


    All that was exactly why I felt he needed to be suspended for those posts last night, it's beyond a reasonable line of human decency to use the recent death of a beloved figure simply to emphasize your disappointment.

    No decent person would tell someone they disgraced their dead loved one for losing a trivial thing like a basketball game, that the dead loved one would be ashamed of them. And to see someone do that during a time of grief, to be so recklessly inflammatory just for the hell of it, is why I stand behind the decision to give him a timeout from conversing with other decent people.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    Maybe I misread all those articles by Quick about Lucas, but from what I understand, the LAST thing Lucas would have felt about his players/friends was shame and disgust, ESPECIALLY after the death of a close friend.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    What, you expect people to learn a lesson when they've gone to far and come back better than before?

    Poppycock, we're all victims of persecution, and we need to defiantly stay exactly as we are, always and forever, because we're always right about everything and we have to show everyone else no matter the consequences.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    To be fair, no one seems to be learning. MIXUM isn't learning to communicate in a non-inflammatory way and the people who think he's a troll aren't learning to ignore him.

    Funny that I'm considered a troll on "Charcoal Filtered's" ignore list.

    lol.

    Even more funny that he feels the need to let people know who's on his ignore list.

    No doubt. They should have already learned to push their own (ignore) buttons.

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    usually i support mixum in his freedom to have his opinion and in some ways i can see the bigger picture of what he was trying to get across but he just communicated it really poorly this time.

    why even bring luke into it? the entire blazer community is hurting and suggesting the team has defamed his memory by not winning is pretty piss-poor in my opinion. im sure the team is sad enough and struggling to concentrate on things at hand, im sure if mixum lost a mentor or a legendary figure in his life/workplace he'd turn up to work and give a top notch radio show regardless as if nothing happened. right? yeah, probably not.

    the teams result on the court is in no way a failure to remember and celebrate luke. the guy is a legend and was a warrior on the court & there are many people hurting a lot harder than we are and im sure those people would be disgusted by comments like mixums. i feel mix dishonored the emotional state of the community by attempting to compare effort on court and regret and hurt off court and ultimately questioning the teams heart and desire in such a highly emotional situation.

    somethings are just better left unsaid. hopefully he learns from this and checks himself in the future. \\

    mixum, i support your normal style of posting etc and feel it adds the 'other side of the coin' to a lot of the rose tinted views we have here - BUT, seriously bro - this was a very poor choice of action.

    Dear MIXUM,

    You called Luke "Mo". That is disrespectful.

    Sincerely,

    Re: MIXUM has been suspended

    For the record, Mixum is suspended for 7 days, not permanently banned. As of yet.

    The 7 day suspension was done so we have a reasonable amount of time to both cool off and to ponder what to do going forward. We let you know about it immediately, and all of the staff who've posted in this thread, including myself, have been completely open about it.

    There are a few points people have raised in this thread that I should address.

    We are a community, and S2 is here to facilitate that. When ABM goes and scores a meet and greet with the Blazers' GM or you all get together a team for a 3-man hoops tournament, I personally feel that the site has accomplished its ultimate goal.

    To that end, many of us know one another in person and people say things (mostly) to one another in posts that are playful, not intended to dig at someone else, inside jokes, and the like. I have no desire to see that squashed.

    None of Mixum's past activities had anything to do with the suspension. It was for his posts last night, and to prevent any sort of e-drama type escalation that was sure to follow. I'm not entirely disagreeing with what Ed O wrote. His past activities will determine how long or short (it could be less than 7 days, we have that power!) his suspension or ban will be.

    Any decision to ban anyone in this forum will almost never be my own. I've banned maybe 2 posters since you all signed up here, and by request of staff members or the poster himself. One being BenDavis503 for repeated racist remarks and the other papaG at his own request (he wanted his account closed, banning him effectively closed it).

    If this place were governed by the 1st amendment, some speech would not be allowed. Shouting fire in a crowded theater and all that. Making threats against the president. Or speech that is considered criminal assault.

    HORSESHIT.

    Mixim is not a victim. And you Kingspeed *edited*.

    As for the mods here....most of the time they get it right. And they were right this time. And if you don't see it that way, TOO BAD.

    When shit like this hits the fan with the drama queens on this board its damn hard to be fair. Theirs is a for the most part a thankless task that they don't get paid for.

    Disagreeing with them is one thing. Disrespecting them by posting this here is another.
