Exactly. Of all the message boards I frequent this is easily one of the best managed. I feel free to say what I want, but I'm capable of understanding when I may or may not be inflaming threads or other posters. I've been warned in the past via PM, but unlike Mix, I've shown the simple ability to slightly alter how I communicate here. He's NEVER shown the desire or intent to alter his inflammatory ways. It's so fucking obvious his intent is to troll, therefore he should be booted.
Absolutely right. While the guy's redundant crap threads might artificially increase activity on the site, it's the kind of activity that many of us could simply do without - and it certainly has driven some away from here. I still come here but spend as little time as possible - just enough to sift through the BS to get the Blazers stuff I need then I'm out. It's not at all an enjoyable experience, more like accepting that the bullshit just comes with the forum . . . which shouldn't be the case. I've considered many times about leaving S2 altogether and even pulling a PapaG and telling the mods to close my account. A time or two I've even thought about creating one of these "I'm outta here and here's why..." type threads but I'd already stop posting here with any regularity and wasn't delusional enough to think that any such thread/action from me would matter. No one would care, really. But when regular, knowledgeable and valuable contributors are boycotting, it's gotta mean something. I, for one, am glad that the people with the authority to do so are (finally) stepping up. It's been long overdue. I think with the deliberate cancer gone site activity won't suffer - in fact, I think it'll pick up . . . and the general vibe of the forum will be considerably improved.
I don't even think Ben Davis was ever truly banned because he kept coming back and you-know-who (not Denny) would have a freak out session if we tried to ban his new account(s).
Hmm that would have worked had he posted in the other forums. I think the Ducks forum was the only other place he posted. So he could have just continued his attacks there or play the victim anyway.
WOw what did I miss? Hey I never want to see anyone banned, but if somebody deserved it, it was him. His only intent was to come on here and stir shit up. Like I've said before..... I fucking got threatened to get banned if I kept being mean to him.
You and I rarely agree, but I have never once questioned if you're trolling. You explain exactly why you're taking the dim view, which is the difference.
Another thing, this is a forum for Blazer fans or people that want to have a realistic debate about basketball ....... it was obvious he was neither!
