While we're in the OT section we say some just awful things about each other and our world views so I was thinking about it and there are people I disagree with a lot in here but do I appreciate them for their perspective? I find it makes you take a step back and see what do I like in people. I won't hit on everyone but I'm going to start.

@Lanny I appreciate the historical view on Portland you bring, I enjoy your stories of working for Boeing and Tektronics. I have met you and your wife only once and you both seem like great people.

@Chris Craig I love your writing on Blazerland, I enjoy your political takes even when I disagree. I also love playing basketball with you.

@ABM I love that you are willing to give your opinions even when they don't follow the script of the current zeitgeist. I enjoy many of the articles/things you find online to post on here.

@MarAzul I love your boat, your nautical themed posts, and scientific background. You do a great job at saying things that make me think, even when I don't see it your way.

@PtldPlatypus @trailblazer18 You two are some of my favorite people on the planet enjoy talking to you guys. Hope to hang out again soon.

@UncleCliffy'sDaddy Meeting you was something I didn't expect but the conversation was interesting and fun, hope we can get together and talk Blazers again someday.

@Hobbesarable Much like UCD above, that was a fun evening at OB's house, and you have an amazing taste for culture, math, and music.

@dviss1 I know you haven't been around much lately, but I always enjoy your posts and playing basketball with you, you've got a great attitude and you're never afraid to speak your mind.

@hoopsjock Love your store and greatly enjoy our conversations about sports, excited that you got your foot taken care of, hopefully, we can get back out to play ball soon.

@BonesJones Love the content you produce, the work you put into our FF league, the trash you talk cracks me up.

@Orion Bailey Thank you so much for opening up your house for Blazer related events. That is a ton of work. Excited to get you back in here for the Blazer season.

@SlyPokerDog thank you for giving us this website as a platform to come argue about politics and complain that the Blazers haven't won since 1977.

@Propagandist I enjoy our conversations, respect you a lot, you always bring an interesting perspective to conversations.

@barfo We all need Pirates I guess. :)

@riverman As a poster, you come across as a very good guy, I really enjoy your takes, your perspective on eastern cultures and MUSIC!

@CupWizier I enjoy how much you love the Blazers.

@Mediocre Man I love your sense of humor, always cracks me up.

@VanillaGorilla Was fun meeting you and playing hoops. Enjoy the parts of your youtube channel I can understand! heh.

@kjironman1 Your love for Sheed is bested by every man.

@Hoopguru @e_blazer I really appreciate your political takes and find you to be a very well balanced and thoughtful poster.

@julius Speaking on mental health issues with you as has provided some interesting perspective.

@THE HCP Thanks for your sense of humor, and taking all the crap you take in stride. Also really cool to see your kids excelling at life.

@Darkwebs Thanks for your game threads! Seriously good work!

@42N8Bounce Love your CBA breakdowns and knowledge.

@GrandpaBlaze Your work on the forum games is incredible thank you!

@calvin natt I appreciate your candor and honesty when it comes to politics even though we don't seem to see things eye to eye.

@HailBlazers You're an awesome guy and you don't me to appreciate you! heh. :) Seriously hope you and your family are well and I enjoy reading what you have to say.

@Mediocre Man Love your joke of the day thread, and your wit. Cracks me up everytime.

@BlazerWookee I love your avatar, and your experiences are always interesting.

@Further You’re always a respectful and thoughtful poster.

@JDC @PCmor7 Love your scouting reports and takes on college players, you know the game of basketball well and it shows!

@Scalma I appreciate you giving us Scal, heh. :)

Anyways for those, I missed I'll come back to this. This is all my sappiness for the moment. Hope all of you guys have a great day.

Sappiness:

Definition of sappiness


1: the state of being full of or smelling of sap

I like sap. But remember it's really about covering the tree wound.

This is fantastic, bro. We do need more of this.

I mean, I won't contribute because I'm not a sap, but I enjoyed reading it. :)

Seriously though, I love coming to this forum not just because I can talk Blazers or read up on the latest political talking points, but because this is a community of people who are actually willing to interact IRL, and are willing to share things about their real lives with one another. I love hearing about @theprunetang's jobs, I love that @SheedSoNasty comes here to talk honestly about his pending divorce (stay strong, brother!), I love @THE HCP sharing his photography and updates about his kids, I loved it when @UncleCliffy'sDaddy let us in on his huge road trip, I love @crandc telling us about her cats and her dinner parties--these are the things that make this place so much more than just a sports-chat site.

Agree 100% ~
 
I don't even get a mention? Fuck this dude.
It's a conspiracy against you and I. I say we leave this forum and create a new one.

Actually, screw that. I don't care enough to start a new one. How about you leave and create a new one and I'll contemplate joining you? (spoiler: I won't be joining you).

You see. This is why you were not mentioned.

Considering it's Friday the 13th this feels like TBF's kill list.
 
I think all those of us who are not mentioned are lucky. If I understand it correctly; he believes all those mentioned are idiots and trolls......

<pondering which category I fall under.....if not both!>
 
Good point; I edited the post so it's clear you could be one or the other or both. :)

Some folks say I'm good for nothing. But that's not true! I can always be used as a bad example.

Other folks claim I'm ignorant and apathetic. Well, I don't know about that......but I don't really care, either.
 
Why didn't i get an alert on this? i opened it, but don't open most threads these days unless I'm tagged, quoted or the title seems like something new and not the same argument/conversation as the last thread.

No biggy, but I should have got an alert on this, no?

@TorturedBlazerFan you severely underrated my value to this place. Well I used to be valuable anyhow. ;)
