    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You didn't address my point vis a vis Brad Miller not being good at basketball anymore.

    I understand that.. I actually lived in some bad part of Mexico as a kid, and have spent quite a bit of my childhood with family in the Compton area.. But it gets to a point where you are above that, and better than what the specific person does. Reacting to it just gives them what they want. For me its the fact that I have a wife to take care of and I enjoy my life. You have a son who'm I'm sure you would give the world for. Things like that are what keeps me from "taking care" of people I cant stand... because one mess up with "taking care" of the dipwit.. and all that you love and live for in the world can be taken away from you like that. just remember my new seasons resolution.. "IGNORE THE DIPWITS"

    Addressing your point, or anyone's point would be posting with "honorable intentions" according to the site rules. He doesn't do.

    LOL nice find. Sweet avvy too.

    Google AdSense! They prolly make enough off of it to cover the 8 dollar a month hosting fee.

    I really, really try to not get worked up. Like how you said at the start of the year, we are all gonna just try to be cool and not get worked up. But after the 'Suns are funny' thread, which I thought was fantastic, then reading his post... just sparked a fuse in me.

    How about stop being so Debbie Downer and smile for once? Why can't you post a thread without bashing the Blazers or KP?

    Google AdSense!

    Sad that money is even ruining our online community now. Site is more concerned with a couple of dollars then peace.

    I got tons of net love for you man. You are a good man Wheels. No matter how stupid I get online, you always talk me down to earth and give me another chance.

    You are a great man, Wheels. Thanks again for your words :)

    I am going to put that in my sig so I remember.

    Actually, I agree with you. But there's not universal agreement among moderators that MIXUM isn't posting with honourable intent (and I understand the opposing viewpoint), which is why he isn't banned.

    Of course, he also doesn't bother me much since I don't take him seriously.

    They way you act and speak, I am shocked you are 23. You are very calm, mature and intelligent.

    Keep up the good work, brother. You have a wonderful life ahead of you.

    I mean, that's ridiculous. Where is there honorable intent, really? How is there an argument for that? It's naivete. If someone had the honorable intent toactually discuss the team, then theymight actually respond to posters who ask them questions, respond to their topics, etc. Am I allowed to just yell and whine at every opportunity, without regard to the community as a whole? It's absurd. I generally don't let it bother me, but there's times where you come to kill some time during work, because you're bored, and you actually want to discuss your favorite team, and instea you get his shit, in every thread, even if it has nothing to do with the thread, he gets to interject his negativity all over the palce. With no honorable intentions whatsoever. What was the honorbal eintention of whining in the Suns thread/ Can't he at least get week long bans, like PapG did? What did he do differently? I don't get it. It really degrades the quality of the site. I know they don't give a shit about me, and it's fine, but it needs to be brought up. It's ridiculous he can be a dick in every thread, and disrupt legitimate conversation. meh, whatever.

    Every time he annoys you, just post an answer "You know it ain't so, that's the truth, and you know it". I think that would hilarious. Heck, I am going to answer all Mixum posts that way from now on. Join me!

    you just realized I feel like Dennis from Monty Python

    "Old woman..."

    "MAN"

    "Sorry"

    "I'm 37!"

    "What?"

    "I'm 37... I'm not old!"

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The argument, essentially, is that he's been with the community for like ten years. Real trolls generally don't have that sort of longevity. Which is largely true...I've never seen a troll with that sort of dedication, though I'm sure they exist. There is the possibility that he's simply a very pessimistic, very irrational fan who doesn't deal well with disagreement.

    That isn't what I believe, but I don't think it's completely impossible.

    It's hit-or-miss, IMO. I'd recommend trying "Monty Python & The Holy Grail."
