    he was posting in the game thread. I'm sure like most of us, he still has a life.

    Well, as much as we geeks and goobers have lives.

    Lmao!!!! I know there are a few mods that's been wanting to. I just know this forum is pretty cool about letting things slide. Honestly, mixum is hardly a problem. He's cute with his antics, like a really ugly dog that's really good at eating his own shit cute.

    He had been around. And I don't try usually. I have not tried to get you or MM banned ever. I did try and get rile you up, but the getting banned was not the goal. MM I'm happy to have posting, on the basketball side I often agree with him.

    Further, you're better than this.

    Besides, Hollywood (DC) pays him big bucks for his trolling. #hitsbaby #quantityoverqualityfams

    Funny, I thought this thread was going to be started by Mixum, er Carlito, er Rudy, stating the elephant in the room was the Blazers not being able to beat a team at full strength or some bs straw man like that

    That said, I agree trolling does not lend itself to quality discussion.

    I will ban anyone on this site for $50. Just thought I would throw that out there.

    We've been down this road before. He was a lot worse as Mixum so he's toned it down quite a bit. What he's posting under Carlito isn't really ban worthy; but I'm sure he'll go full Mixum soon enough.

    This entire thread is to troll one poster, though. Hence the low level of discussion in this thread.

    Is there a quantity discount point, like, at 20 posters the price drops to $35?

    How do I know another moderator won't unban them and demand $50 each to reban them?

    Interesting: the 1990-91 team was 14-1 at this point. We're only 1 game behind the 1991 team. :ghoti:

    If he really bothers anyone here, they just need to ignore him. I look at it this way, we're all intelligent, grown ups (I'm assuming everyone here is an adult, I admit), and it's not that hard to just see his name on a post and skip right past it. No need to allow your emotions to boil over or to even waste a minute of your time. Personally, I think he's a rather amusing troll. Way back when many of the folks here were on the BBB.net forum, I recall a great deal of us added him to our ignore list, and pretty much only new posters ever carried on a conversation with him, until we pointed out that they can just block the seemingly imaginary person they were talking to.

    He really isn't worth the two microseconds. Just ignore, and move on, or do as I do and giggle and laugh at his posts and occasionally make fun of him.

    I wonder if his DJing is as bad as his trolling? If that's true, I doubt he makes any good money

    And some of them never even won a playoff series, including the Spurs just 3 years ago.

    Worst case scenario might be the 02-03 Pacers--started 14-2 but went basically .500 the rest of the way, including a 1-12 stretch. They finished just 48-34, lost in the first round, and fired their coach.

    Of course, they made the finals the next season...
