    That sounds a bit like a fellow that lives over by the ranch I had in NEO. Perhaps he was 35 or so at the time, he told me he had never seen the Sea.
    What? How can that be?
    It is only about 400 miles west!
    Yep, I have never been there!

    Do you know how many people have told me how they think posts like this are utter bullshit?

    "We were rolling along just fine" - Now you have someone here who's a fanatic, who's helped bring lots of people together with Rip City 3-on-3 (hell, you started this BS off by talking shit in a thread about a video production for it). Created our awesome fantasy football league. Hell, I even have a brewery that I'm talking to offering free advertising on my platform in return for free monthly watch parties. What the fuck are you doing for the forum lately other than instigating drama? And you're trying to say that the forum is no longer "rolling along just fine" because I showed up? Lmao. This isn't your party bud.

    You may have been able to get away with saying whatever you wanted in the past. But you've failed to build the type of report with newer posters that'll allow you to get away saying whatever you want. That's not those posters fault, it's yours. But you want to stir up this type of drama, even though you complain about it. So if you still don't realize that you are the problem and these reactions and this drama is because of you, then I don't know what to tell ya.

    I dont care. So he is one of the 75%. Cool.

    Dude, I'm sure you are a good, nice enough guy in person. But none of that matters on here for those who don't meet you.
    I had made it clear from the get go to just leave me alone and you proceeded to talk shit in a roundabout way on a regular basis and pleas innocent when i shot back at you.
    Your incessant and moronic need to poke at people who don't care to play your games is what has ruined this place. If you would have just let shit alone from the get go, this place would be much better off.
    Your lack of ownership in that is what i find completely pathetic, juvenile and frankly not worth any more of my time, because you will never admit to anything or apologize for anything and i have zero respect for that.
    I know how things went when i got here and i had issues with no one until you showed up from your hiatus and wouldn't let up.
    I need not explain myself any further because i HAVE taken ownership for my part.

    Have a nice day.

    This whole post is on point, but especially this. I've made it clear as well that he needs to simply leave me the fuck alone. I've also told him why I don't like when he says certain things for me (for some very personal reasons, I might add) and now he goes out of his way to take advantage of that, and plays victim if I fire back.

    If this guy would simply leave me alone, there would be no issue! But he wants to cause a shitstorm. He wants the drama, so he goes out of his way to be insulting towards others in order to cause it and create a scene. Then he acts like he isn't the problem. It's fucking comical.

    I wouldn't necessarily say HCP started drama on the other site.
    I will say he decided to 'haze' new posters far too often on this forum. (Which is what I was referring to)
    That in itself creates drama.
    OB has voiced it repeatidly. I voiced it to Sly long, long ago when he sent me a dm. Saying that he wishes HCP wouldn't do that. Simply because most new posters don't 'get it'.
    I mean we had people come in here in the 18-19 season and HCP pulled it. At least one of them didn't understand HCP was 'joking'. Nearly leaving the forum iirc.
    Another poster said he found it dumb in this thread as well.

    Pretending like everything on this forum was great before @BonesJones and @Orion Bailey joined is asinine.
    Between cass, cmeese, mixum, hcp and several others there was enough drama to go around before those two joined.
    So lets not pretend like it was rainbows and butterflies.

    To be fair, i'm not trying to point fingers at anyone who has been brought up. I just don't remember much drama from hcp back in the day. This drama is annoying but i don't point the blame at any one person. There has been multiple instances of drama from multiple people throughout the 20 years i've posted with everyone.

    Having met hcp, he is one of the most generous and happy guys i've met. One of my best friends uncles claims to have worked with him in the past and said hcp was/is a great great dude. Hcp has called me a virgin a bunch of times. Which we both know isn't true because i'm always first in line for mrs. Hcp. Plus he has seen me with my wife before who is better looking than me. We both have that in common.

    But, the thing is, i've seen all of us be giant dicks before. Whether it's by trolling, cussing someone out, or just continuing to pester someone. I've lost my shit multiple times and said things i ended up regretting. Sometimes i apologize. Sometimes i don't and just move on. Some people just don't even want to deal with that person again. People deal with things differently.

    I dislike coming to this forum nowadays because it seems like whenever I do, there are people bitching each other out. We deal with that everywhere we go because of politics. I just want to read some bball, mess with online friends i've been around with (in a good natured way) and not have the drama and posters trying to one up each other constantly.

    Ok, I’m not awesome with botany, but there’s a joke to be made with both “pansy” and “daisy”. Not sure which one this is, or something else.

    Well it was about bball. Specifically the 3 on 3 vlog.
    Until HCP made the decision to call someone a kid.
    Now sure it was joking, to me that was plainly obvious.
    However given the fact that HCP has been told by the person he called a kid. To not do so... Yet he refuses to stop. That itself is creating drama.
    irregardless of how you feel about it. He's been asked to stop, won't. Yet somehow taking shots at @BonesJones in random threads is acceptable. I'm sorry it's not.

    Everyone raves about HCP and how nice he is in person.
    However as I stated before in this very thread. When people feel like they can have a semi-anonymous keyboard to type on. It changes some. Those people it changes the perception it creates.. Is 100% on them.
    Just like in person.

    I pick my words carefully even when I'm upset with people. Simply because if I don't I'm held accountable for those words.
    Doesn't matter if it's on this forum or in person.
    Some on this forum believe they can say whatever they want and have no repercussions. Well HCP has had some. I won't speak for others only myself.
    I have zero interest in meeting the poster HCP. A couple seasons ago he offered to let me visit the truck during a game. I told him no.
    I love the Blazers, but I won't watch a Blazer game with people I don't like.
    Now that won't cause HCP, nor myself to lose sleep.
    But everyone raves how much of a good, kind and nice person HCP is.
    Everyone who actually knows me believes similar things about myself as well.
    But only one of us refuses to let the keyboard change them.

    Oregon Live was a shitfest. There was a few really bad posters that started crap every day. Towards the end there wasn't a lot of posters there and all but a few trolls had left. Cup still got in arguments almost daily (and yes I know your response will be that it wasn't your fault and I argued with people too, whatever). There was no personal interaction allowed. You couldn't message or tag anyone. When you say you just want somewhere to talk basketball that is utter bullshit man. You have too big of a personality to want to be an anonymous poster. I don't get it, it's the exact opposite of what you actually do here. Trust me, you don't want this place to be like that.

    I've been on this forum for a year and a half. I now consider a bunch of posters in here real life friends. I've probably met roughly 30 people from here and I I don't think there has been a single person that I've disliked once I've met them. The personal touch is what makes this forum great. Granted it also leads to beefs like this too. It kind of pisses me off when someone contributing to the problems of the forum tries to act like it was fine before others show up.

    I'm going to try and help our generous overlord @SlyPokerDog here with a brief discussion on conflict, this conflict (I'm wading in @Orion Bailey!).

    First off, in my expert opinion, this is the classic "text can't convey tone" conflict. Since I've been here, I have noticed a tendency for poster to take things literally. If taken literally, jokes can piss people off and that sets a tone. "I was joking" "Well, it wasn't funny" and so forth never ends up in a good place. Oftentimes, my wife thinks I'm not funny; but it is clear to me that she has no sense of humor.

    Secondly, letting it go, ignoring, whatever. I'm going to use @CupWizier (sorry, dude) as an example, just because I've argued with him before. I like Cup a lot, but we have trouble seeing things the same way, or I guess I'm not skilled enough at argument to persuade him, so you know what? I seldom argue or jab at Cup. And I like him more for it.

    (I have one person on ignore, only because something about them makes me want to headbutt the wall. I mean, ignore is there for a reason, with an added benefit! I don't have to read the things this poster posts and you guys and gals don't have to read me malfunction in response to those posts.)

    Third, like Slypokerdork said, what has brought us together is the fucking Blazers, ie a common interest, and so that should be enough to keep us together. Like the slykitten says above, politics have polarized the shit out of this country, so it is nice to focus on something else every once in a while (paraphrasing). ie Go Blazers!

    Fourth. People have to meet. I met some of the dudes in here and it has completely changed my approach with them. A goddamn bbq or whatever. Or maybe regular games watching nights at a bar or something. Humanizing humans is important. It would change the tone of this place...

    Because the tone in here sucks right now.

    What I don't understand is how anyone hates another poster on an internet forum, often without having not even ever actually met them.

    I've only come close to hating 2 people in my entire life, for physical assaults on family members. They are both dead now so I am hate-free.

    I find everyone here quite tolerable at the very least.

    Hm, whos been trying to get people to meetup, whether it be a fantasy football draft (anyones invited), watch parties, pickup ball... its been me, @Orion Bailey, and a couple others. The tone was great for the past couple weeks. That was until HCP tried to stir up drama once again. Ive explained many times that it doesnt matter if its a joke or not. Dude needs to steer clear of taking shots at me regardless. He especially needs to watch what he says with me as there are a few things that I really don't like for personal reasons, and I told him so and he has since ramped it up.

    There wouldnt be a fucking problem if HCP would refrain from talking shit (or making jokes) towards the people that he knows he shouldnt. Thats literally the only issue here.

    While I’m kinda sad I missed this, it’s probably for the best. And as much as you don’t want to hear this, it’s likely a cultural or generational thing.

    For instance, in my line of work (which I readily admit is not for everyone), statements made in this thread would result in being constantly ridiculed until you changed or left the organization. That may not be within the mores of 2019 Portland, so I get the angst, but let’s not pretend that being able to craft the perfect environment for your personal well-being is a universally-accepted norm.

    Additionally, I know of no one outside of Sly on here who has, for the last decade, increased the enjoyment of the Blazers for fanatics crazy enough to spend time posting here.

    There’s more, but since I am onboard with the principle of “praise in public, criticize in private” I’ll bow out now.
