    Re: Will the Spurs make the playoffs?

    Antagonize, play the victim card, lather, rinse, repeat. It gets old after a while.

    Unfortunately, he does not limit his protests to the form staff. In his "campaign" to right perceived forum injustice he has chosen to mock another long time forum member on a daily basis. As I said, disagreeing with someone's post is always welcome and drives interesting discussion. I do not find the daily mocking of another forum member interesting at all and think it completely violates the rules of this forum. If he wants to call out the forum mods, let him do so, but not at the expense of ridiculing another forum member on a daily basis.

    Rather than limit his mocking to one new thread every day, why not merge them all and move them to the OT section where they belong. This isn't about basketball, this is about MM getting his way at the expense of another forum member.

    Even if this thread was intended to be serious (yeah, like anyone who has watched the defending champion Spurs during the Duncan/Popovich era really believes they are going to miss the playoffs), it should be labeled OT since it is not about the Blazers. His intent is clearly to mock Eric's thread about the Rockets playoff chances, but at least Eric followed proper protocol and labeled his thread OT.

    Why is it assumed this thread is to mock someone? I saw some of the other OUTSTANDING threads people have started and wanted to participate. In those threads, long before Hollinger's playoff bot odds came out, one of the criteria for the Rockets not making the playoffs was there game against the Sixers where they Barely won without 3 starters. S.A. had only 2 starters missing but barely won. Seemed like one of those enthralling threads others start.

    BNM seems to value one thread over the other for some reason, which is fine. Simply dont respond to mine

    If this is all coming from a half joking sort of way, then I guess I can appreciate it as performance art.

    MM, if you really ARE blood boiling pissed, vengeful, and prone to petty attacks due to your unhealthy obsession with moderation fairness and consistency, im not sure what to think

    Re: Will the Spurs make the playoffs?

    There is some legitimate basketball conversation going on in the thread so I'm going to leave it. If people don't like the thread don't post in it and it will quickly fade away. I myself in the past have made threads mocking or poking fun at previous threads.

    If Brian, Nate or Wheels wants to step in and more or delete the thread that's fine. We view things differently but as it stands right now I'm not having a problem with this thread. I did add the OT to the thread title. I do very much appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this. MM continually mocking Kingspeed is a bit confusing and worrisome. I wish he would mock me directly instead because as I'm sure we would all agree, I thoroughly deserve it.

    Re: Will the Spurs make the playoffs?

    As for mocking, I try not to. There was a forum member telling me they owned me in another thread though. That was ok I guess?

    Re: Will the Spurs make the playoffs?

    When Timmy retires, are they just done? How important is he still? They are such an enigma

    I know its been 5 years of "when will the spurs stop being good" but...when?

    Re: Will the Spurs make the playoffs?

    Popovich has mentioned in the past that he's likely to retire at the same time Duncan does. So, it might be likely a tough challenge for the Spurs to overcome the departure of the two sure fire HOFers

    The fact that Eric started his Rockets thread before Hollinger's playoff odds came out just proves he knew what the hell he was talking about. A couple days later, when Hollinger's playoff odds came out, it showed the Rockets missing the playoffs with a less than 50% chance of making it. That certainly seems to indicate there is at least a reasonable chance the Rockets miss the playoffs and it was a topic worthy of serious discussion.

    You started a thread today about the Spurs playoff chances when Hollinger has them at near 95%. Do you really think the Spurs will miss the playoffs? Fuck no you don't. Neither does Hollinger, nor one single poster that has responded. This was not a serious attempt at a legitimate basketball discussion on your part. It was yet another attempt at mocking Eric in your on going public temper tantrum against the moderators of this forum.

    But this is where the problem is and why your statement is disingenuous. In the very thread you just mentioned you're in it posting your dislike of it. You have stated to me in private your dislike of it. If you dislike them so much why are you now continually making similar threads? Kingspeed made that thread to have a discussion. You don't like the subject so now you are going to make similar threads as a way to protest?

    Here are some of your posts from the thread you just mentioned:

    There are penalties. I just put someone on ignore for the first time EVER. And that is saying something.

    To be fair, in reading through that thread he said that after 8 of your posts complaining about what he posted.

    I could be a clairvoyant with 100% accuracy and most people would not even read or respond to it in this thread. :biglaugh:

    I always thought that nobody reads my threads because everyone's completely in agreement with me and that's just boring

    It's your own fault. You need to stop being right all the time.
