    It's sow.

    Reap what you sow.

    But reap what you sued is awesome on a couple of different levels.

    Wont be an issue here, because I don't hold Grudges. If HCP post something in ten minutes I like or agree with, Ill like it. Im not like that. I do, however bring up past events to someone who keeps doing the same thing over and over, doesn't mean I was simmering or holding it in or anything. :)

    The one thing I could never get past, and he's not the only guy who did this, was constantly bringing up something someone said years ago. I honestly don't care what you thought about something 2 or 3 years ago. I'm not going to constantly bring up something that you were wrong about. I do enjoy being right though :grin:

    A few things. I AM the popular kid and class, always have been. So I understand the hate. Don't listen to Sly, he is just The Help around here. Denny will tell you, he DOES pay me. And he told me when we signed the contract, that if it ever comes up in threads, Mods are supposed to deny it. He said I am responsible for 18% of the overall traffic on this website....that some serious pull in this geek world. I'm a very sociable person and LOVE instagram and twitter. I can understand why somebody like you wouldn't understand it and thinks people are on there to be "meaningful". Don't even know what that means bro. I'm on there to read great articles and see other peoples cool pics. @bigjohnNEP on both....... check it out!

    And you continue to use the word "ridicule" The only time I go at somebody is after they call me out first. I love this forum and what it's about it. I love that people have different opinions about our team. Go back years on here and you'll see I only retaliate young buck.

    By the time you figure out my status, how important I am around here and your place, you'll have moved on like the rest. Ask the vets, nobody who has gone after me like this, has ever won that battle. #RipCityyForLife

    First let me say - Orion I get where you are coming from. Also I concur with what other members are saying, your contributions to the forum have been great. I love what you bring to our conversations, and I really enjoyed talking hoops with you at the meet and greet!

    I think if you can look past this little spat you will see that Big John is actually a good dude, and a hell of a Blazer fan.

    Just don't care enough about people's attitudes good or bad to read those long posts.

    Give me the cliff notes versions so I can be a sarcastic ass to both of ya.

    If HCP were actually paid to post here it would violate the employment contract he has to sign yearly to work for Blazer Broadcasting and he would be fired.

    So yes, HCP is paid to post here. If anyone from the Blazers ever asks me that I will happily say that he is.

    This has all been overblown mainly because I actually thought an eye could be opened as to how one treats his fellow fans with regard to their positivism. I thought I could make one realize that he is painting all of us positives with the same brush when we have different shades. I thought that one would be mature enough to be like... "Oh, yeah, maybe just because someone is positive doesn't mean they will drive themselves crazy if the team loses." I thought I could open ones' eyes to how he treats new members of a forum.
    This is my fault and I take the blame. I should know better than to try to oppose one who has so many times made it clear the size of the tunnel his vision has.

    It is also very clear HCP is probably very cool in person. I guess its too bad that same coolness doesn't permeate so profoundly around here.

    Carry on, nothing here. ;)

    We're two losses behind 8th seed at this point.

    7th seed isn't out of reach by any stretch.

    That suggests that the 3rd seed isn't out of reach. I mean, we'd be there right now if we'd won the majority of the losses in which we gave up a 4th quarter lead.

    And if we can be consistent in closing the end of games out, we will have a winning record this year and make the playoffs. Our bench has been very consistent and has become the foundation of our solid game. If our starters can get more in tune to start and finish, then we are one hell of a dark horse to make the playoffs and I dont think anyone will want to face us... including GS.
