    Made the mistake of going against the editorial slant and hitting back on people saying nonsense and banned after 14 years with no warning. Incredible. This Billups thing is so monumentally stupid all around I can scarcely believe it. The amount of upset is amazing to me given how little noise people were making during the process about Billups specifically. If they were going to go ape like this, they should have been EXTREMELY CLEAR to management much, much earlier in the process.

    Welp, hello SportsTwo I haven't been here in 9 years, but I'm back for good it seems. I'm DONE with Blazersedge. Oh and guy who made the Dame as Subzero art (JamesinDigital), if you're here too. Sorry, I mistook you for someone else who kept saying how great the riots were. Your artwork on Lillard/Sub-Zero is superb.

    Sincerely sorry. I know how important forums are and it would suck to banned from something you probably look forward to.

    That’s why this forum is so awesome. It sucks ass, so who cares if you’re banned or not.

    It’s actually crazy what you can get away with here. Plenty of questionable threads, but hey it’s still content.

    Deckard is a joke. He's no champion for women. He's using their personal stories to drive clicks to his site.

    Cant believe how incredibly biased and uninformative coverage has been there.

    Getting banned from BE is kind of a badge of honor. Welcome.

    To be honest Blazersedge has become a weird hybrid of Blazers basketball and DNC talking points and censorship for the past 5 years. I would tolerate it for the excellent comments, but it's gotten out of hand. I say this as someone who's never voted for a Republican at the national level in my life! The whole city and that forum have gone absolutely off the rails. People were supporting the riots in which my own wife, who is black, was harassed and had pee thrown at her by white protestors. So yeah, I hated those damn riots and I have a right to say so. "But BE is a private forum!" Well, I got news for ya. AT&T owns these here internet hubs what are you gonna do when THEY start censoring what flows through their hubs SJW's?

    Listen, I’m not here to judge anyone, but doing that with a dog is not only illegal, it’s sick as fuck

    Better than reddit, where not conforming to group think will literally get your post downvoted to oblivion and actually hidden. Great way to encourage discussion! Blazersedge is not far off.

    Fair warning…

    Watch out for [REDACTED] — he won’t shut up about his bodily fluids and gasses.

    Other than that, welcome.

    Please not in the thread titles but the rest of the fucking place you sure fucking can.

    But there are a few things like the C word and N word that will we can't have.

    Also, no personal insults, it's fine to attack what someone says, that's what forums are for, but them personaly please don't.

    You guys want to read what I'm 99% certain got me banned? It's pretty intense (not). Here it is. For context this was in response to all these people talking about how wonderful the riots were last summer and that no business was harmed and that it was all so peaceful and grand.

    ******************************

    It's Performative Allyship

    it’s not really about helping when it’s purely performative and not actual volunteering and donations as I and others have done. Instead, it’s egoic, self-centered signaling of superiority. It’s a pox upon the body politic and the country.

    People who actually do the work (not just show up for party riots) when it’s not exciting are completely different. Those who pull out their digital soapbox to declare how wounding this is for them, and how terrible people are for not agreeing with their superior position are completely different from people who do the work. There are also people in this specific instance who have been victimized and that too is different. Again a ton of survivors in my personal sphere and I worked with DV survivors for years as a social worker.

    I’m just saying as a Social Worker for almost 20 years, nothing annoys me more than Performative Virtue Signalers who never do the work, never stay to continue the work when the excitement ends, but force their way to the microphones, and Bullhorns are just the worst sorts of people.


    *******************************

    Meanwhile tons and tons of stuff that's just completely out of hand, but fits the Blazersedge Editorial slant is left up.

    With the exception of Sly. It’s always dog season around here so feel free to call him an asshat whenever you want.
