You're only cheating yourself by your mistaken assumptions about other posters and their motives. jlprk is the most intelligent poster on this board and MIXUM was probably the most rabid Blazers fan here. By ignoring their input you severely limit the quality of any debate which stunts your opportunity to learn.
I think I will survive. Been on here for awhile and cannot remember a jlprk post that I have gotten anything out of. Reading MIXUM's posts took some of the fun out of being a season ticket holder for me. The guy was Canzano on steroids. Only one team is going to win it a championship every year. I am not going to bitch and moan that I am not that team.
None of the people I'm with on FB post political stuff. I must be lucky to let people into my life who have better things to do than make everybody else know about their opinions on everything. That's what this board is for, right?
I don't read FB as much as I used to because its flooded with people telling everyone about their mundane daily activities. Yawn. A few people who post that their at the gym all the time and check-in there. Oh wow, my life's complete knowing that you're at the gym.
Agreed, that is what this board is for. I applaud the fact that your friends on FB have common decency. Family and shipmates are tough to just cut ties with entirely for me. Lost a few over the election and Martin trial though. Not losing any sleep over it.
I do post pics of my kids, but usually only once a week and it has to be a photo that someone would find entertaining regardless of who it was. Still, I am guessing all of my friends are not as impressed as the people I am posting them for (family back home). No way I could read FB daily without the hide feature.
Nah, I'm talking about the people who complain about nothing being on TV, or asking people what they should have for dinner.
jlprk is easy to skip over. He tries to be funny, but isn't and doesn't add anything of substance about basketball. If I want to read something for comedic purposes, I can find that online in other places, where it is actually funny. Not somebody trying WAY too hard to be funny and failing miserably.
Then there's the opposite, like yourself...someone trying way too hard to be serious and failing miserably. I skip over half the total posts, but I don't brag about it. It's called efficiency.
I have three on my ignore list: PapaG: Ranting and fighting and right wing diatribes. Kingspeed: Egomanaical insecure attention whore MIXIM: Obvious reasons. Not Maxiep. My bad Maxiep. Sorry.
