    c'mon......y'know how I keep it in neutral here? I say "some folks" instead of tagging a poster...fill in the blanks....there are entire conversations here of people talking shit without tagging forum members....I tag somebody when I want to compliment them usually...kj started the meltdown thread for this purpose but some folks just don't realize they're melting down I guess

    Hilarious that he's referring to the wrong people. @BonesJones s is a HOMER. He just wants a new coach and to get rid of Turner.

    I. Agree.

    in my view he just wants agreement and seems to have a hard time with opposing views...to each their own...most of the time folks don't enjoy being talked at when they come here to talk with fans. I was once told in a post here that I'm too old for the forum and just sit around making shit up around here...I've gotten pms saying my jokes aren't funny by a couple members here. I like Torturedblazerfan because he's someone who will talk with you and actually consider another opinion after the fact...probably a nice guy. I've liked many of his posts. kj is right...old forum members have left here because of the snark he addressed and I agree with his reasons for it. At the end of this season I am happy about the state of the franchise....I'm cheering. I agree with some of Torey's talking points but not his style of counter punching to make a point. Anybody who actually posts..."I'm right about everything here" I find a bit suspect. Maybe I should just find another forum....I'll take that into consideration

    You are also one of those (badass) maniacs that participates in the Iron Man competitions, if I'm not mistaken. Freaking amazing.

    River.... The reason why you tag people could be much different than the reason others tag...

    You're giving him WAY too much cover. @kjironman1's post was a fucking HIT PIECE on @BonesJones who WASN'T EVEN IN THREAD.... And he didn't even tag him.

    Talk shit "to his face"... Not behind his back... It's weak and you know it.

    consider me conversational.....I addressed Tortured in my post...kj didn't tell bones to be a big boy and ignore him.....I addressed bones saying that and state of the Blazers is a pretty broad topic

    He didn't need to because @BonesJones didn't call him out for no reason at all.

    @kjironman1 is incorrectly blaming the "state of the forum" on bones. I think that's a step too far. Especially when bones had nothing to do with Tortured's post.

    It also completely disrespects TBF's point of view. Saying he did not garner it on his own but that he's influenced by other posters... It's bullshit plain and simple.

    KJ SHOULD put him on ignore if his imaginary reason for the state of the forum is due to how bones is posting.

    I get that a few of you think I shouldve given the Blazers better grades, @kjironman1, @CupWizier sorry Im blanking on the rest, and thats entirely fair, and I havent made it personal or disrespected any of you guys. Maybe I was too harsh when I wrote it out.

    I really don't believe I was in meltdown mode or just being negative for the heck of it. There are lots of good things about this year and the Blazers future.

    I may not have communicated it well, but such is the nature of writings ones thoughts at times.

    this is not possible since he's joined the 3 on 3 tournament...he's got staff status now and the ignore function doesn't work in this case..

    Personally I'd give the team an incomplete....make them repeat the senior year of high school and pick up the math grades

    LOL. What are you talking about??

    I'm in the 3 on 3 tournament too. I don't have Staff Status. Neither does @BonesJones. He's never had it...

    try putting him on ignore...you can't....it was explained to me when he first joined the tournament...I don't know about your situation because honestly, I've never tried to put you on ignore and really, in the end I come here by choice....that's on me. I log on here regularly and go straight to recent posts and more times than not, it's a bitch fest between forum members..same subject...often same posts...I read one page of posts, remark and get called out for not reading the previous 20 pages of argument so I have "context".....sheesh....I use the "some folks" descriptor rather than single people out...everyone knows the context

    I thought your take on the "state of the blazers " was well done and your feelings. And feelings are not right or wrong.
    Id probably give them a B+ because I fell the degree of difficulty this year in the west was huge. Like spring board diving in the Olympics, the higher the difficulty the higher the potential score.
    I always enjoy and respect your input and feedback!

    Why does there need to be an ignore feature?
    We should all be able to stay composed and be respectful to differing views.
    There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone point of view and there is nothing wrong with admitting a mistake or apologizing to someone!
    Get rid of that ignore feature it's a form of censorship or government control. lol
