OFFICIAL Around The NBA Thread...... August

just stop bones....you don't understand long winded....as to back and forth...I didn't mention that at all...that's on you. I'll write whatever I want here and it's not your business. HC tagged me in a reply....I answered him....none of your concern

 

Yeah, you cant find one because youre over-exaggerating and making stuff up.

"Every day"... don't say stuff like that if you can't or don't want to back it up.

 

Man... it must bot have rained in Portland in a long time.

When I lived there, I noticed that y'all would start to get a little psycho & cranky if it was an extended dry spell.

Either that, or y'all are going through a 'personal dry spell', if you catch my drift....

 

That's basically what I'm trying to say to River.

Dude had to come at me with some false crap.

 

I think people should talk about basketball and stop with the insults myself....read my posts and replies with HC...if you read the last couple pages Sly...it's a clear picture of the new S2 culture....OT has enough sparring....the basketball section should be free of personal shit....just read the conversation and pm members concerned or delete my posts...whatever...place is supposed to be fun. I wish I'd gotten the joke....

 

I don't snipe for any less than 50 bucks...which you can put on my ban payola credit..

 

Me too. Snipe hunt is ON!

 

R.I.P. to you Charles Barkley Lukrofka.

We got this dog the month I started traveling with the team because we lived in a pretty rough neighborhood back then and I wanted somebody to be there for my wife and young son. He served us well and will be missed. Had to put him down today. Never had a dog growing up, never knew how close you could get to one. Feel like we lost a family member. 14 great years with this one.
It IS the Dog Days of Summer, so I thought it was OK to post here.

R.I.P FAMS.......

 

You literally just posted this (unprovoked) in another thread...

Without this, I probably wouldnt have to say a word, but it bugged me because thjs is the type of thing you say you hate and constantly talk about!

That's an indirect shot at someone. You're literally talking shit about others. But then you come back with this morale highground stuff immediately after you ranted over something small...

I responded to that with something along the lines of "Why does it have to turn into a big back and forth? Why take it so hard?" to which you made up a (BS) claim of me "writing a small short story every day" as if I constantly rant at people (talking some more shit) without being able to back it up with a single example. And all I did was say "Why take it so seriously?", something that you've said to me over similar stuff, and something that Ive actually listed to.

But nah, then you blame the "forum culture" and other people, and act like this is all happening because you didn't understand a joke, as if what you say didn't contribute to it.

That's all I have to say, not going to get into a big back and forth. Either you listen to what I have to say, or you dont. Your choice. If you do listen, maybe you'll be able to realize how, at times, you do some of the things that you hate when others do. I just wanted to get my point across about what annoys me, and we can leave it at that.

 

God.

 

This isn’t aimed at anyone in particular. When I went to O-live last year, I was looking for a place to talk the Blazers and basketball, I migrated here later than most of the O-live people but I still come here mostly to talk about basketball.
We all have our own personal views on the Blazers, what they should and shouldn’t do, some of us like members of the organization some of us don’t. We have different perspectives and at least to me that’s in essence what mAkes coming here “fun”. The trick is a) acknowledging we aren’t always right. B) other people with different views are still fans, and c) respecting the others opinions in regards to the team.
It seems like there are a few people who are tired of the critiques of the team and having that shoved down their throats. Then there are the people like me (unfortunately) who are the ones being critical of it. I struggle internally with how much is “enough” I mean I come here to talk basketball, and talk the Blazers and I feel like part of that means I can voice my criticisms, and as long as I’m not telling others their opinions are invalid that’s ok. However, I awknowledge it would probably be frustrating to me too if I was on the other “side”.

Anyways this is awfully long winded but it’s all to say I think the forum rule I like the most is attack the post not the poster, the only amendment I’d make to that remember when you’re attacking the post that post is still tied to someone and respecting their opinion goes a long ways.

 

I'm really sorry for your loss bro......I had a cat I loved for 14 years that was family....cougar got her in the night....broke my heart...RIP to a dog that had a kick ass name!
