I'm actually quite surprised that in this "CJ vs Dame who's better" no one has mentioned dame being in a "slump" after he had a season or two under his belt and teams were able to scout him and play to his weaknesses. That hasn't happened for CJ yet. Maybe we should wait on that comparison till then...?
I was thinking the same thing. CJ may not play as well in a year or two when players and coaches really know his game.
You did not say simmer down, you chose your words very carefully. I could go through your entire post history and find any number of times you contradict this post, but I'll spare you the embarrassment. Like I said, coming from anyone else I wouldn't even feel the need to point it out, but you are definitely one of the testier mods, so took the liberty of saying something.
I really don't understand why anybody would look at that CJ/Roy comparison post and infer that somehow it's a knock on CJ. Obviously the intent of the post was to say "Look--Roy was the Blazers best SG since Clyde, and CJ this season is playing at a level just a notch below. Hooray CJ!!" Why make a negative out of a positive?
I said simmer down sugar britches. That's not an insult. You're one of the testier posters, so I guess we're even?
So you honestly think that's an insult? So if someone said, lighten up Frances, would that be an insult?
Actually, HCP said that very thing to me, and at first I was offended... then I realized how silly I was being and moved on. Edit: I will add that I was offended at first though because I don't know who he is and he doesnt know who I am and we had never even had a debate or discussion. You two may have history causing words to have deeper meaning. Just sayin....I think we probably have all been overly sensitive at times and overly testy at times. The key is recognition.
Yes, because Frances is a female name, whereas Francis is a male name, and we all know that referring to a male with a female name is insulting.
Those two aren't the same, are they? And if you want to be technical you can, but I've never seen any of the other mods on here get as close to the line as you, and on so many occasions. As a mod I would expect you to hold yourself to a higher standard.
You're right. They're not the same. Sugar britches is a term of endearment. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sugar britches
If you expect Nate to hold himself to ANY standard, you clearly haven't been reading his posts. In which case I might ask you...what's your secret?! I want to avoid reading his posts too!
I guess I just consider things like "idiot" or "asshole" or "moron" or whatever to be a personal insult. Never thought "sugar britches" would get someone so upset.
