    By the way, just so you guys know the first thing I asked after PapaG was banned was if there was anyway I could have his rep points.

    True story.

    Another thing you do wrong, Sly, is you give away the plot in the title. I haven't read this thread, and why should I?

    I just tried to rep you but
    OK, I think this issue is over, now lets talk about what's not happening right now with the blazers. No new news on Batum, No new news on Lillard. Interesting right, I mean, I always hear the phrase "no news is good news" This must mean the Blazers are going to be awesome this year.

    If everyone in the world followed my example, there would be more love. Nobody hates the board dumbshit. Eeryone puts up with him.

    Someone tell me when this thread dies so I can read it and make 20 comments. I love to see my name as the last post in half the threads.

    Being the predictions game guy, I almost feel like I need to start a predictions game on who the next person is to be banned.

    I'm sad to see PapaG go but at the same time, I also like to have a place that is, at least relatively, civil. I think nearly everyone loses it a bit now and again and that is understandable. However, when "losing it" becomes the norm rather than the exception, I agree that some action needs to be taken to, hopefully, increase the civility level in the forum.

    I appreciate the works the mods do and am just glad I am not one of them - not something I would want to do.

    Gramps...

    For the record, I will be the first to admit every time a mod felt the need to intervene and threaten me with suspension/expulsion, I pretty much deserved it. That being said, I completely disagree with the idea of banning someone just because they're insulting.

    There's really nobody else who has even been remotely on our radar. Kingspeed got a warning for constantly bumping old threads, but that was over a year ago. HCP got a few warnings for getting into it with Mixum, but that was more than a year ago. I'd ban Sly, but I don't think I can :sigh:

    I'm wracking my brain for what I'll do in this Greek play titled "Posting on a Blazers Board." Handsome Popeye protagonist that I am, I have fought PapaG for so many acts. I've got it. I'll propose to some Bluto who looks good in makeup.

    Sly, will you be my chief antagonist?

    Me, too. Gee, you miss one night moving out of your house because a car hit it and this is what happens.

    Ironically, that kind of mirrors Blazer fans' relationship with Oden himself.

    Sigh...

    I come here for entertainment. PapaG was enormously entertaining. I'm going to miss him greatly. I hope the decision is reconsidered and he's allowed to return.

    There's "insulting" and then there's "cancerous." I think most of us have, at one time or another, been insulting to another person on the forum. There have been a select few people though, who have really been disruptive, cancerous, and (imo) overly insulting. Telling someone they're stupid is technically a "personal attack," but making comments about their personal life, family, etc is what goes over the line. We have put up with it for a long time, we have given warnings, we've tried pleading, we've tried suspensions.... none of it worked. I'm not a fan of just editing or deleting because I don't think it solves anything. In fact, in most cases it only spurned him on more.

    PapaG's posting was overall a negative to this board. I think that was pretty obvious. If that's what you come here for, maybe you should leave with him?

    Entertainment is not why most people come here. I have my stories for that.

    It just sank in! PapaG is gone! I actually remember when this version was new. It lasted a week on the radio.
