I read Milkshake's nonsense in every thread. Just read the Katie Shearer thread for the latest example. No need to swear at me either, is there, Ed?
Nice move moving a post about a BLAZER fan who had as a final wish to attend ONE LAST Blazer game to the OT forum, MODS.
That's your bad. There is an "ignore" feature you can use if he bugs you. What need could there be? I curse for emphasis. And you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Ed O.
You moved a thread dedicated to a Blazer fan who had as a final wish the chance to attend a Blazer game. Or wasn't that you? I don't curse for emphasis, BTW. I respect people, dead or alive. Just confess as to who moved Katie Shearer's thread.
A mod moved a non-sports OT thread to the OT forum where it belongs. Get over it, or cry about it and then get over it.
What do you care? You're just thrilled to have mods who will put up with your BS time after time. I don't blame you for piling it on, by the way.
Again: you have no fucking clue. It wasn't me. I am fine with the decision, though. I don't care if you don't curse for emphasis, by the way. Using curse words and respecting people are not necessarily mutually exclusive. I think it's less respectful to keep calling me out for things that I have not done. Ed O.
Damnit, we are back to this. PapaG ruining every thread. Isn't there some kind of rule against ruining threads for other people?
The Advertiser is like THE biggest newspaper in Hawaii, and I think Honolulu may be a bigger city than Portland, FWIW. The story is an AP article, the Advertiser didn't write it. And the title of the article may in fact be true. Filing a grievance is the first step to a lawsuit. As Ed O pointed out, it's really up to Miles if he wants to play on bloody stumps if he chooses and a team will have him.
If by bigger you actually mean about 200K smaller, you are correct. It's a bigger city than Portland. Or if you meant a metro area about 1.5 million less than Portland, you are correct again. It's a bigger city than Portland.
Oahu has a population of ~850K people. For statistical purposes, the city proper is listed at ~350K, though the 850K number is appropriate as well. If you've been there, you'd understand. The entire state would be the MSMA. Quibble if you like. http://oahu.aloha-hawaii.com/almanac/ As Hawaii’s capital city, Honolulu is the state’s government seat, principal port, and business and financial center. Honolulu is the 11th largest city in the U.S.
Good for them Since they are such a BIG paper, you think they'd be able to afford to hire some decent editors, fact checkers and proof readers. Well then, like the person who wrote the headline for that article, you'd be wrong. Portland is bigger and growing faster: City Population: Portland - 550,396 Honolulu - 375,571 Metropolitan Statistical Area: Portland - 2,175,113 Honolulu - 905,601 So, the population of the city of Portland is almost 50% greater than the population of the city of Honolulu. And, the Portland metropolitan areas has well over twice the population of the Honolulu area. In fact, the Portland metro area has almost 900,000 more people than the entire state of Hawaii. The AP wrote the story, but did not supply the inaccurate headline. Do a google search on "Union will sue Blazers over Miles" and you will see that that headline is unique to the article in the Honolulu Advertiser. The AP headline reads: "Union to file grievance vs. Blazers over Miles". The first is inaccurate, the second isn't. Until it happens, it's not true and reporting it as a fact is inaccurate. There is nothing in that article to support what is reported as fact in the headline supplied by the Honolulu Advertiser. The headline is, therefore, incorrect. BNM
I don't know where that website got their information, but the US Census begs to disagree. See my previous post. Since you've expanded it to include the Honolulu metropolitan area: Honolulu is the 54th largest US metro area; Portland is the 23rd largest. And, Portland is growing at a much faster rate (+12.82% vs. +3.36%). BNM
Why? Why? Why do you make posts like this and the several above. I for one, and appear to not be alone, find them to be a very poor addition to many threads. Boo.
FWIW, I still can't find anything about when Marbury's grievance (which actually WAS filed, unlike what's happened so far in the Miles case) made it to an arbiter, but that was from November. Maybe arbiters have better things to do? Can a lawyer (or law student) help me out? Does someone have to be a bar-accredited lawyer to be an "arbiter" in a case like this? Or does it have to be a judge? Or anyone who is mutually acceptable?
