Yeah, that was a long time ago, when I thought you were somewhat reasonable. Then, after you basically saying that you were frightened of me, I kind of just laughed and wrote you off as a serious person outside of this board. SPD recently tried to do it again. I said no fucking way. No need to lie about how I "keep trying" to do something that I haven't offered for over two years, you big studly moderator you.
You're right buddy! Can't be too careful. There are some wackos out there. Especially in Tualatin I've heard
Been reading some of our old PM strings, Nate. Wow, you had on your Big Boy mod pants in 2009, didn't you? "...cease and desist, PapaG!" Hilarious! Can I post some of them in the OT section? Summer League is over, and man, it would be fun for everyone.
Yeah, you definitely had some "greatest hits" in there. I especially liked the ones where you accused me of stalking you because you sent me your full name and phone number. Those were a riot!
One mod acts like this, over and over again. I was reading a PM where I predicted you'd be a terrible mod. You quit at some point after that.
Yeah, I was dumb and thought that perhaps a moderator would be able to do something about BenDavis503 harassing me outside of this board. Little did I know you'd have the emotional maturity of a HS junior and actually turn around and post that information on the active board. You're a real man, Nate.
All I did was say your first name. Did you receive a bunch of threatening phonecalls after that? If so, I apologize. Sidenote: that was well after the whole Bendavis episode.
Eh, I'm bored with this. Thought it was bush league for you to specifically call me out well after this was an active thread, but then again, you're a bush league mod, so why should I be surprised.
So this thread has now devolved into "I'm not your buddy, friend; He's not your friend, guy; I'm not your guy, buddy..."
Personally, I can't wait until PapaG's daughters are old enough to read how their dad behaves. They'll be embarrassed, and rightly so. That should be the biggest reason he is concerned about his real name being put on the board.
Or he can sit there and have a good laugh with them over the character he is playing on the internet?
We'll laugh about how at least 4 posters (you're not one of them) who claim to be grown men brought me up in a thread long after I had stopped posting in it, and then started posting and gossiping to each other about me much like a bunch of jealous and insecure pre-adolescent girls.
Wow, that'd be creepy. Seriously.... do people really do that? I mean, I get people trying to be all "tough" and "hard" online, but totally "playing" a different character or whatever online is a bit creepy. Like the people who play online computer games every waking moment like it's real life...
I'm as opinionated and full of energy in real life as I am here. I just am much more blunt here, because I don't do nuance well in my writing. So, I'm not playing any character, but I have little use for using tact with those that I don't think deserve it, and who obviously don't respect me. Since those people like to make it about me, I'll go right back at them, because it's not in my nature to sit back and be piled upon while cowering in the corner.
I wasn't directing at you. I just was curious if anyone knows anyone who really does that. Those are the people I would really consider to be crazy in this world. To be honest.... not trying to call you out.... But you did draw attention to yourself by calling this a "useless thread". I mean, it's a basketball board, where people, INCLUDING yourself, are free to express their opinions. A poster simply gave his grades/impression, and you disagreed, so you called it "useless". How would you like it if every person who disagreed with your opinions called your posts "useless"? We'd all have every post called "useless" by at least one individual. And then.... here's the kicker..... When you get called out, you say, "Own it, and stop whining when people disagree with you." Pot, meet kettle. To be fair, you essentially were the first to "whine" with your initial response. A voice of reason..... But this post will no doubt be considered "useless", as I know of one person who will disagree.
I've had the "idiotic post/stupid thread/dumb opinion" thing thrown at me many, many times here. I guess I'm just immune to it being a major insult, because it is so commonplace in what I see here all the time. I do find the grade given to Babbitt as useless, though, considering the grades given to every other player. A person putting their opinion out for the masses should expect to be challenged by those who strongly disagree with a part, or all, of it. Besides, WizMentor had just gone on and on in another thread about Babbitt's uselessness, and then this thread popped up, repeating the same things, but in a new thread. If I need to treat Wizard Mentor differently than others here, I guess I can try to do so. Of course, that would be me playing a character.
