    Why does this make people uptight? Dude is just using hyperbole to get his point across, a point that most everyone seems to agree (other than Cup) with on some level, which is: why can't we make a big move?

    Anyone notice that more people than usual get real testy around trade deadline time. What this board needs is a blockbuster to bring everyone together.

    Half the people would hate it, half would love it. At least it would give us something new to argue about.

    I'm one of them. It's idiotic and I'm sorry.

    He literally said "We are a disgrace of a franchise, relocation is the only solution". That in no way is saying "why cant we make a move?"...

    He continually trolls and disparages the franchise and only shows up to talk crap and spam hateful things on the forum. He's also insulted posters numerous times as well.

    I wasn’t referring to you or anyone else, you can just tell people are pounding those keyboard buttons a little harder this time of year:)

    It’s understandable, we have been trade deprived for awhile now.

    You're a literalist, Jones. What he is showing us is his exasperation. He is frustrated. I reread this thread and he just seems to be using exaggeration to get his point across. If he's being a dick, fuck him, but I don't see that in this thread. I plug his post into google translate and it tells me: I just want something to happen! Something big!

    This poster has history that apparently you're unaware of. He literal has never shown one post of support for the team and always trolls and talks shit. How that translates into him being supportive of the team improving is beyond me, because he never says anything when good things happen and is only here to talk crap and troll.

    Okay. Point taken. There is a very thin line between disgruntled fan and troll...it gets hard to tell who is who.

    @Propagandist My favorite was when he said "Supporting this team is like supporting your wife jumping off a bridge".

    1/2 of me feels like making a joke, while the other 1/2 feels like stating the obvious: suicide is seldom funny.

    So "insulting" me by calling me a girls name? That's wrong on so many levels

    What we need is hope for the future. What we have is a GM who treats us an ungrateful curs for not being satisfied with our role as first round cannon fodder.

    It's a great thought, but it won't. Some people will love it, and some will hate it

    It happens on here quite a bit. I kind of took the original post as comedy. But the Blazer fan base and most notably this site is pretty sensitive about all things Blazers. You kind of have to take things with a grain of salt when it comes to responses to your statements. Even your perception or opinion can be a bannable offense around this place. But even the comments about banning a poster might just be a joke also. Using green font seems to be the best way to say anything that might fall under suspicion...
