I used to post here a fair amount. All this petty crap is why I don’t post much anymore. Fucking ridiculous and total poison. Too bad. I love the Blazers and no longer have that fun rip city community now that I live in CA. I wish I could come here without the drama but it seems like that’s no longer possible.
Checking the last page again like 2 days ago...This is STILL the most boring thread I have never read. Sorry about your brother, Riverman.
I don't get it. Most people get along just fine, but if you dont like what someone's saying, why not just put them on ignore. I don't get the narrative that you essentially "cant avoid the drama". It seems like there's a rather easy solution to that.
While I believe that all of you should be fired, I understand that as the only one here with any letter-writing ability, it's all up to me, and I'm tired.
people really trying to get other people fired from their jobs cause they cant handle shit on a forum. seriously? that is beyond not normal. id say its time to talk to someone (ie a professional) about de-stressing. This isn't healthy.
Don't think the irony of you talking about 'de-stressing' while having Sheed, Bonzi and Damon in your sig is lost on me! We all know those guys could 'de-stress' with the best of them! Maybe HCP, OB and the letter writer should spend some time in the OT thread about 'Favorite Strains.'
Agreed. I also don’t get the narrative that people get all worked up and take this place serious. And not just S2... pretty much any online forum. If someone is that worked up, it’s pretty easy to walk away (and you probably should).
Yup. Honestly, I think it's a cop out. It reminds me of how suddenly all the fans abandoned the team during the Telfair years because they "couldn't support the Jail Blazers anymore." Of course, it obviously had nothing to do with the fact that the team was shit and nobody had any issue supporting the Jail Blazers when they were contending with Pip and Sheed and Smitty. The internet has been a toxic place since it was invented. It's not a new thing and there isn't a single place on the web where you're safe from people arguing and feuding. Doesn't matter what the subject is or the hobby. I think some of these guys just outgrew it. Or they lost interest in the team. Or they have other things eating up their time. It's just easy to say "well S2 is too toxic for me." When was it ever not toxic?
A couple things. First, I genuinely don’t like to ignore people, threads make less sense and many times the people who I would ignore for drama reasons, make interesting bball points. Secondly and more importantly, it’s never one poster in a vacuum. Other posters comment, the mods get pulled into it, and the flow of the board gravitates towards that drama. Thirdly, even when people are ignored enough of the spat comes through that I end up un-ignoring them just to catch up. Then I realize I’m smack dab in the middle of drama again. I come here to relax and enjoy a topic I love. Not to try and filter out people and threads and topics. it’s easier to just stop coming or at least disassociate emotionally to the point that I stop participating.
Both OB & HCP are really good people and would help anyone here in the forum, if they were in distress. Its best to be slow to speak and quick to listen and meditate about being on a beach in Hawaii under a palm with a bottle of rum and a nice looking women.
Too late. I'm going to take that post completely out of context and destroy you! For now, and forever more!! Bwahaha!!! But first let us drink.
