    People that have been reading what has come out about Chauncey and what was there before and still want to be convinced that he's guilty beyond reasonable doubt have reading comprehension problems. There just isn't anything on him besides one important thing which is an allegation and while that shouldn't be taken lightly... in the light of the other info we have people should feel comfortable with Chauncey as the head coach of our team.

    It's Blazers related. It's about our head coach.

    Like, what? Has it been harped on? Sure. Is it still relevant? Yes. Is it about the Blazers? Yes.

    Come on now.

    Huh, I am shocked to learn that the Bleacher Report guy does not in fact have sources with Vulcan.

    Sounds like that screed was addressed to me. But not brave enough to call me by name.

    Who is Aimee Terese and why should I give a fuck what names she or you call me?

    Seems to me it was calling certain people that, not just you. Semantics I guess?

    Fine, then if people can be disrespectful in calling someone a rapist and etc then don't delete comments when someone voices their thoughts on certain posters. If its gonna be this big shit show, then let everything slide.

    People can bash Billups but you can bash a poster in here? double standards, and yes I have had a post deleted that wasn't even anything close to the shit said on here.

    sorry MM, but that's bunk

    Paine specifically and explicitly quoted what Crandc's said and then trashed 'those kind of people'....but there was only one example of those kind of people and that was Crandc

    and by the way, as far as I know there is only one woman who regularly posts here so just maybe her perspective on all this shouldn't be trashed so insultingly.

    I actually think those are the rules. You can attack coaches and reporters and players in here but you're not allowed to make insulting or attacking comments towards another forum member.

    You could if you wanted, he's not a forum member and the rules are about respecting the people in here. You can call a coach a fucking idiot if you want on this site but you can't say that to another forum member in a post. @Paine Tablet as he has been more than several times sense he was obviously chased out of his last forum, was completely out of line. This time it was with you and I'm sorry. Hopefully @SlyPokerDog will have a talk with him.

    A big difference between saying someone is an idiot and saying he's a rapist.

    I don't think Stotts is an idiot, but he was not the right coach for this team now.

    I don't think Billups is a rapist. I thought his judgment was poor but I believe him when he said he learned from it.

    I also think it's pretty clear more than one person did rape the woman in question.

    Who called him Rapist? People are allowed to share their opinion about Billups. If someone insults posters that is against the rules and is deleted. If you see it, report it.

    Who bashed a poster? If it's a personal insult it's not allowed. If he is talking about the post and not you that is a different story. There is no double standard here.

    The post I believe you are talking about was removed.

    No, not double standards, the purpose of a forum is to promote discussion and debate. When members start insulting members that ends. If we were to extend that rule to you can't insult any coach or player that would pretty much kill most of the discussion and debate.
