|0fficial|Meyers The Terrible

That's all fine and well, you are free to post here for whatever reason, same for Bones and everyone else who posts here. This is indeed a community of diverse opinions and viewpoints, that being said some of us are of the opinion that the constant ribbing of players gets tiring. My hopes for this community is that it isn't a place where I ask myself "I wonder who's going to start a Meyers sucks thread today".

I love this forum and have respect for the majority its members. I can tell that this is ultimately a solid group of people and that is why I have chosen to stick around here. That doesn't mean it doesn't get obnoxious as hell when people feel like their opinion isn't being given enough consideration so they decide to create their own thread to showcase it.

TLDR: All this Meyers bashing is very much beating a dead horse and some of us are tired of it. We get it, a lot of you don't like Meyers and wish he was traded. Some of you dislike him so much that you feel the need to insult him as a person. You are free to express yourself however you feel the need to as a fan, but when someone else doesn't agree with how you are expressing yourself you shouldn't jump straight to insulting them as a person... Do you see the pattern here?

 

And to your point that this was not intended to be a "shitting on meyers thread" then please explain explicitly what exactly it is intended to be. As somebody who is very much a critical thinker I'm having a hard time understanding how your point could have been anything other than - There are other players with appreciation threads, but none for Meyers because he has never played well enough to elicit such a thread.

 

You're right. The middle quote is from another post.... which is why I mentioned the other post right before I linked to it......

Highlighting that someone doesn't get any appreciation encourages people to reflect on that person. Notice how there are people in this thread talking about why they appreciate him? Sly immediately made an appreciation thread. Highlighting something draws attention to it. Pretty standard method of generating discussion on a topic.

Interesting that you left out the last bit... "And this is what you come up with?"

Any time you see a thread that you disagree with, this is the kind of response I expect from you. If you don't agree with something, either stay out or refute it. When you make an asinine trade scenario, do I shit on your idea? No, but maybe I should? Or will you complain about that too?

 

Sure he has. The guy is playing despite some pretty serious injuries. BNM explained that pretty well. My thread showed that Meyers has, at no time, had any kind of appreciation thread. It generated a discussion. I'm not sure how exactly that's shitting on him. I didn't call him Butters. I didn't say he's a bad player.

How exactly is saying that someone has never been appreciated equal to shitting on them? I want to know.

 

Humans learn through experience, and we evaluate and process situations to come to a decision based off of our experience. Therefor if we experience an influx of Meyers sucks threads and then come across something which we interpret to be along those same lines then it is only natural that the first thought is "here we go again with the Meyers shit".

You did not explicitly specify what your intentions for this thread were, therefor you left it open to the interpretation of the other forum members. It doesn't make sense to hide your intentions and become upset when somebody interprets them in a way that you did not intend.

 

So obviously the right decision is assume it's a thread shitting on him, call out the poster and tell them "this is the best you can come up with?"

What possible reason would there be for pointing out that he has never been given an appreciation thread, other than to make people think about how they're treating him?

Do you really think it's a "haha nobody appreciates Meyers" thread? Seriously?

 

That's my contribution to this thread. Ignore the fact that I misspelled "your".

And yeah, I don't like the guy. Deal with it.

 

Go ahead and shit on my trade ideas. I won't take it personally. I'll explain why I think it's a feasible idea and have a discussion.

You, however, seem to take everything personally, such as me saying "This is the best you can come up with?".

You still have no logical defense for personally attacking me over me disliking your thread because it seems like more Meyers bashing.

I don't care how much we disagree with each others posts, interpretations of posts, or anything forum related. I won't make it personal. I won't go out of my way to insult you. I expect you to do the same.

 

You specifically said it's a thread to highlight how nobody appreciates Meyers.

 

You could've explained this in the OP.

 

So you don't think that posting something like "more of his shit" or "this is the best you can come up with?" are making it personal?

 

It was three pictures. No words. I didn't explain anything. But you automatically jumped to he conclusion that I was shitting on him and called me out. But hey, I'm the bad guy here.

 

I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree that it has anything to do with Meyers Leonard. Every team has 15 roster spots available. Meyers was 9th on the team in minutes played last year and is 9th on the team in minutes played this year. When cutting a player, team's don't decide between their 9th man and their 15th man. They decide between their 13th, 14th and 15th men.

And again, it was not a financial decision between Meyers and Cliff. We would have had a lot more cushion, over $7.3 million more, if we would have just exercised Cliff's team option and not signed Ezeli.

And honestly, Ezeli's 0 minutes this year is only 36 fewer than Cliff played last year. The big difference is Festus is getting paid $7.4 million to not play. Cliff would have gotten $874,636. It's not Meyers Leonard, who is 9th on the team in minutes played that is keeping Mr. 451 out of the league. It's guys on every roster that are their team's 13th, 14th and 15th men, plus guys like Ezeli that eat up roster spots and cap space without actually playing.

It's not. I'm annoyed by a thread about Meyers Leonard.

That's not the same as saying someone has no critical thinking skills because they're a college student. That's personal.

It's weird that I have to explain this to a former mod haha.

 

Exactly. You use no words but expect someone to know EXACTLY what you mean by the pictures? And if they don't you personally attack them. Haha.

 

I didn't say it was the same thing. Nobody said it has to be on balance an equal attack.

I'm not a mod anymore because I wanted the freedom to be able to tell you to fuck off without being reminded I'm a mod. Apparently that never goes away.....

 

Do you really need him to explain that for you? Come on.

 

Victim.

 

Don't make this personal. That's it. Got it? Good.

 

Glad Meyers is happy about not having to look over his shoulder anymore (He literally said that.) He's really stepped up.

it was funny seeing wolves players eyes light up when he was out there though. You could tell there isn't a player in the league afraid of going right at him. They know he won't do shit.
