Negativity, especially in game threads

What people dont understand is that those people like doing it because some of you guys get so riled up i think they actually would meet up at mt tabor.

And that goes for the positive people and negative people.

It all deals with perception. I know there have been times when ive posted and meant nothing bad whatsoever, and a positive person gets offended. We all see shit differently. Ive been a die hard blazer fan since i was 4 and ive had people try to call out my fandom over the decades of posting with you guys.

Tldr; grow a pair and stop being so affected by what nerds post in their moms basements.

 

Really? I havent noticed that myself.

 

I met Sly once... the smell was awful.... dude, buy some deodorant!

 

Hes always sticking out his tongue barking for more peanut butter too. Which one of you has he been visiting?

 

Story of my life

 

Bye bye.

 

Also, people sometimes confuse criticism with negativity, and roll them into the same thing.
People get so defensive of the team over any criticism.

When people who are close to you are fucking up - do you just put on the rose glasses and let them continue on - or do you tell them straight up whats going on (from your perspective).

For me the Blazers are like a family member, and if I see them fucking up, I'm going to pull them up on it. Not because I'm being negative, but because I care about them being better.

 

I agree that when a point is bashed over and over it does detract from the game threads.
And that goes equally for both ends of the scale, overly negative and overly critical.
Unfortunately one tends to elicit the other.

It's a bit much to ask people to keep their comments on an in-game action till after the game in my opinion.

But bottom line is - everyone is entitled to their opinion, if it is stated reasonably. The game thread is not set-up to suit any one persons tastes individually. What you deem criticism may be a neutral observation for someone else.

If someone is de-railing a thread - then that is the job of the moderators to address.

 

yeah...I get the logic of it all..I deleted that post after thinking..I just don't have to think about it after all...I can choose to not pay attention anytime.

 

Yep. Focus on your likes rather than your dislikes. It's all ice cream when you're at that point.

 

I'm on page one. Don't have the energy to read through this bitchy first world moan session.

The first 5 words that popped in my mind to describe this thread will offend someone so I'll just leave it alone.

 

Just one question..... if I can't be my wonderfully dysfunctional-but-reasonable self in sports forums, then where the hell left on earth is there?

Do you guys want me practice Mindfulness and Trigger Sensitivity whenever LaMarcus or San Antonio come up?

Ya'Know...... oh damnit!

 

If I wanted some high school drama, I'd go on Twitter and DM a bunch of senior chicks in the same clique... But shit, I don't come on here for this

 

Whaaaaaa!!!
