    Well WTF are you talking about then? Heya, you-a talkin' to ME???????? You don't talk-a to ME that way. I canna talk-a the talk a lot better than you can.

    The Oregonian has hated everything about the NBA for many years. They have tried, and succeeded, in changing this team. They don't like the "culture" of the NBA. They spent years badmouthing Whitsitt, demanding that he go and all of his players too. So the next President and GM did the paper's bidding, but then the Oregonian turned on them, too. Once they were gone, the paper turned on the owner.

    You got any problem with the facts? Take your complaints to the ombudsman. C'mon DO IT. "We" want you to and you can come back and tell "us" what your mental Guide advises you to. You stand alone and I, as the spokesman for everyone here, carry the message of everyone here that the whole board is against you!!

    MUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BE AFRAID !!!!!!! VERY AFRAID !!!!!!!!!!!

    It's called the power of the press. If the media has no influence, why do they bother writing editorials? Your behavior (posting on a board) belies your words (writing has no influence).

    A day has passed and I forgot to act crazy. WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????????

    Brilliant. Because he said "The power of the press?"

    It's not actually a power you know?

    Have you bought Portland Timbers season tickets for next season? No? Hmmmm.... How exactly were you able to fight of the power of the press? They told you to, but you haven't done it yet.

    Did you just ignore them or something?

    I could never support a team owned by child-labor abuser Phil Knight.

    Bill Gates challenged a lot of rich people to commit wealth to philanthropy, reasoning they can live quite well on just a billion or so. I don't think you need to put Paul Allen in his grave to understand. He has more than enough for every need & whim, he has no spouse or children and you can't take it with you. Why not give away and get a big tax write-off?
