    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This whole thread is making me miss PapaG.

    Not because I prefer drama over good basketball discussion, mind you. Because he was one of the sillies that made this forum what it was. This forum is never going to be drama-free and that fact doesn't sadden me, tbh.

    I feel like it would be "interesting" to play some RipCityTwo Mafia.

    Here's my thing. I'm of the school that you shouldn't email, post, say, yell, scream or write anything you don't want everybody around you to be able to hear, read or see. That's just me. I don't owe KS any respect of his privacy. Not after the outright mean things he said TO and ABOUT me on here. So feel sorry for the victim KS here or throw hate my way if you want. This had been an interesting read, I'll give you that. It seems that it's ok to say things like he has to me on here, but whatever you do, don't share with everybody his texts.... that wouldn't be nice.

    I have fun on here at the expense of others. That's just me. Some people understand that, some don't. I'm that guy you'd want to sit down and have a beer with and watch a game. I'm sociable and definitely love talking smack. I also enjoy it when people throw it back at me. But the victim in question really says outright mean hurtful things about some on here, and it tends to go unnoticed. He'll be back as soon as he reads this to defend himself. I've been pretty cool to him over the years to, so this has been very surprising. Put him on camera at games, hooked him up with tickets, that kinda stuff. Don't know why this made him go off the deep end.

    Really think hard though before you claim I'm picking on him or mistreating him. This kid has dished out an amazing amounts of shit towards others.

    I won't post anymore in this thread, because it seems that of all the crazy shit I've done over the years, THIS has actually ruffled nerd feathers. Please keep it going though..... Like I said before, this has been a great read.

    I agree with you on that outside of private/personal confiding. It would be scummy to post private confidences, but shit-talking doesn't qualify.

    Here's how I see it. Everyone knows the golden rule--"treat others as you would want to be treated". However, not everyone thinks the same way I do, so how I would want to be treated isn't necessarily respectful for everyone else. So rather than treating people how I would want to be treated, I should treat them how they want to be treated (within reason, of course). So when Eric made it clear that posting his text messages bothered him, the right thing to do (IMO) would be to respect that and not do it any more, regardless of whether or not you would have a problem with someone doing the same to you.

    Nobody's defending or condoning his behavior; don't conflate that with those who disagree with yours.

    Because, as Riverman put it, "breaking the furniture on your way out" is divisive. Go back and read the first post in this thread. Starting a thread about leaving the forum and calling out specific posters by name as the reason is divisive.

    Agreeing with Eric's behavior and disagreeing with yours are two separate notions. Your post intimated that they were essentially one in the same.

    And before you ask:

    Remember that girl in college, Connie, with the huge fake boobs that looked like they were pumped up with air?

    i'm not condoning anything anyone said, but when you keep bring in up your personal life into conversations that were nothing about them, then I could see someone edging the conversation that way. So when HCP refers to his personal life, he is leaving it open for scrutiny.

    Its not like HCP isnt trying to poke KS and his lifestyle with the family man comments. It goes both ways.
