Well, I wish you wouldn't do that. I think most of us here understand and appreciate your sense of humor. And Mr. Bailey, I could almost be convinced you had some legitimates gripes and maybe you do. But nothing, and I mean nothing, excuses you for going to a guy's boss about something in a sports forum. And I don't see you owning up to what you did. I don't see you saying that you did a terrible, terrible thing. I don't see you apologizing directly to HCP and to the entire membership here. If I was running things here, you would be out and only if you did the above things would I even consider allowing you back in.
I'm out the door to Lincoln City for the day so this will be brief. Myself and others on staff have not dismissed your concerns about HCP. We have talked to him about it and talked to you. I have even tried to get all of you to hash all of this out during forum get togethers. But come on OB, you went to Def Con 1 over something that didn't really concern you and that it really wasn't the OMG moment you made it out to be. Bones replied to what HCP said. He doesn't need you to follow up or jump in to help him. Sure it brought up apparently bad memories for you but you told me multiple times that you just want HCP to leave you alone. And to me is really seems like he has. If you want to PM a mod when you see something that he posts that you don't like that's great. But when you post in the main forum that the Blazers should be ashamed over this. And you're sending stuff like this in PMs to staff, "i swear if the BLazers actually (k)new..." And PM'ing HCP, "someone is going to eventually capture something that the blazers dont like" These in my book are vailed threats. In person you're a really nice guy and I can't say it enough but I do really like you. But man I have to shut this down. Anyway, I think that I've come up with a solution that will hopefully end all of this. If either of you don't leave the other alone you will get a vacation from the forum. I don't see HCP being mean to new members. And I don't see him interacting or stalking you. And you've told me this is what you want. Please, I really need this beef between you two to end and end now.
Wont’t work. Scalma is so far from being a virgin that the volcano gods are likely to be pissed and cause Mt. Hood to erupt.
Jesus. If I really ever questioned the age and/or maturity of those on this board, it was mostly in jest. Until now. Never seen more old dudes crying and being all dramatic. Pull up your big boy pants. And I know drama. I have one teenage daughter and another boy far behind. If this site is creating this much drama in one’s life, you should probably find something else to do.
I didnt do those things. No matter how it looks or how much hcp or anyoen wants to accuse me i never took anything outside of the forum. But dven with that said i HAVE apologized several times to hcp for wven possibly having a part in putting the idea in someone elses head. Ive apologized ofr that several times man. i also said this in my other post. This is what i dont get. I keep saying things and somehow it ends up being a common thought that i said something else. Im the ONLY one who has admitted and taken responsibility for my part in anything. and thats whats soo fucking frustrating is that everyone points the finger at me. But when they do they dont even have their facts straight... it really is irritating.
Off to the beach, I'll try to reply to anything else if needed later. Love you guys! You are the NBA's most passionate fans! GO BLAZERS!
again you dismissed my question and say what i want isnt what i wanted. I really question whether you listen or not. Yes i feel the Blazers would be happy if they new someone was trying to haze new members to the point of chasing some people away. Did i wver mean it to be contact the blazers? No. There is a clear difference. Now again. I have apologized profusely for whoever it is doing this if they are using my comment as a launchpad. Ive apologized many times for this. But it does not change my view that i dont think the Blazers would be all happy about it. Why would they? Again. All you have/had to say is you could have addressed this more matter of factly snd you and other mods should not have dismissed his behavior back in the day. You have never admitted this and its left me feeling like ill just have to make him aware of it in the forum myself since the mods are backing asshole behavior and not addressing it the same way the address other asshole behavior on the site. Again. I told you he is on ignore. Did you miss that? And miss the other questions you have still yet to answer? Much like a few weeks ago when you accused me of being snarky and insulting but when asked for you to point if out, you ignored it? how do you expect me to not think you are biased and put effort into complaints when you pull that? you dont need to respond to this. Its mostly rhetorical. I already know it wont be the response I'm expecting. Go enjoy the beach.
@THE HCP I hope this isn't a permanent thing, I really enjoy your posts and insight. @Orion Bailey this situation is preposterous. Anyone in here should be able to disagree with anyone else in here as many times as they want to in whatever manor that they want to that is deemed acceptable by the moderators. That's how this shit works. If anyone posts their thoughts on here, they are agreeing to have them be commented on in any way that is allowed on the forum. I really think you should be ashamed of the fact that HCP isn't going to be posting in here anymore. You should feel mortified that either directly or indirectly you affected his work life. You should know that there is a huge difference between a person constantly disagreeing with someone else and (stalking, bullying, persecuting etc.). Seriously this is a pretty dark day for the forum and you are the catalyst.
again another postercwho comments and makes judgements while not having facts straight. Good job bandwagon jumper. Half of what you said isnt the issue nor has ever been but you go on with your condemnation as if tou actually know all the details (proving you dont by referencing that anyone can disagree with any comment here). Thats not the issue and never has been. You should be ashamed for so quickly jumping on me while simultaneously not knowing all of the history and getting your facts incorrect regarding the issue. Indeed a dark day. Because most are just like you here. Quick to judge without even knowing all the facts and then making a judgment off of a misunderstood situation. Good job there. You aced that one. im the only one who has ever apologized for anything at all. YAll need to get your heads examined for continually only blaming me.
