No, I didn't "admit" that I knew PapaG/BGrantFan/Yoda of the Moda and NewsSource were the same person. I suspected it, but you just confirmed it. So, the ban was meaningless. Why even have bans if they aren't enforced? BNM
Because some things and some people NEVER change. But, that's OK. Just change your username and start the same shit over again. PapaG is the Roy Tarpley of S2. The only difference is PapaG has gotten a LOT more chances than Tarpley and his "lifetime" ban was MUCH shorter. BNM
The PapaG account was banned on 6-26-14. Newssource was created on 7-10-14, and I began actively posting with it other than a one-off on 7-16-14. In those 21 days, you made a grand total of 4 posts. Since I started posting under this account, you've made 40 posts in almost a month. The last 3 of them were about me. You're a stat guy, right? Figure it out.
What I can tell you is that PapaG/NewsSource is on the very last of his 9 lives. If he happens to get banned under this new moniker he will not allowed to come back under any moniker. (Or he will have to learn how to mask his IP address, lol.) He has been told this and understands this.
I appreciate that and am glad that I have portrayed myself that way to you guys. I'm that guy leaving the restaurant with a full stomach, stopping to hold open the door for a party of 10.
Jeezus, really??? Do you not understand this issue isn't You vs. Greg Oden? Just because someone does not approve of your behavior in this forum does NOT mean they approve of Greg Oden's behavior in real life. It's NOT an either/or proposition. I can be 100% disgusted by Greg Oden's behavior AND also consider you the most insufferable poster in the history of this forum. Please, show us where ANYONE in this thread blamed the woman? I sure know I didn't, and neither did Fonz. Please show us where ANYONE thought Oden should get off the hook for hitting her. Are you really so self-important that you can't tell that the rest of us are outraged by Oden's criminal behavior? And guess what, we were outraged BEFORE you told us we should be. We didn't need you making up strawman arguments to start calling for Oden to be held accountable for his actions. Some of us were disgusted and outraged by his behavior and were calling for jail time before you got up on your soap box and told us we should be. News flash Mr. NewsSource, you're not the only one outraged by Oden's behavior. Stop acting like you are. Your smug, arrogant, self-important attitude is what rubs other forum members the wrong way. You are so desperate to "win" every argument, you constantly resort to ridiculous strawman arguments (like those quoted above). But worst of all, you actually seem delighted that Oden hit this woman as it validates your long held belief that "Greg Oden isn't a nice person". Wow, no shit. Thanks for pointing that out to us morons. We would have never figured that out on our own. Thank god we have you, who once called my 12-year old daughter a whore because she wanted to marry Nicolas Batum, to act as our moral compass. Wow, someone who hits women is not a nice person. I'm so glad you cleared that up for us. BNM
The difference is, Roy Tarpley was an afterthought in the NBA. Perhaps Barry Bonds is a better comparison, if you're going to insinuate I'm a drug addict.
tl; dr Anyhow 4 posts in a row about me. That's almost 10% of your last two months of posting, a period that included the NBA draft and free agency. I'll get banned, and you'll find a new target to feign outrage out. You've done it before.
Yeah right. "I mean it this time. Dammit, I REALLY do. This is your ninth and final chance!" PapaG is the Jason of S2 and his ridiculous 14-day ban is like a bad sequel - Friday the 13th, The Final Beginning (We REALLY Mean it this Time - No, REALLY, we do. OK, maybe not, but boy if he steps out of line again, we are going to have some stern words for him, just you wait and see. Next time we might even ban him for 15 days! That'll show him!).
No drug addict insulation, just pointing out that like Tarpley you have been unable to change your behavior and play by the rules in spite of countless warnings, repeated infractions and being banned. Fine, have it your way. You have Bonds' arrogant sense of self that makes you think the rules don't apply to you, combined with a Tarpleyesque inability to learn, and constantly repeat from your past mistakes. BNM
Nice cop out. A draft where the Blazers didn't have a pick and an off season where Steve Blake (Part III) and Chris Kaman were our major free agent acquisitions. Pardon me for having a life outside of this forum and not making 10,000 posts during this Summer of Nothing. Best of luck in your pursuit of this endeavor. BNM
