    Wouldn't call it a lot. There is a little smoke. And yeah, it's not factual and even so, it's pretty shitty to talk about someone's marriage. It's a not a rule, that people can't talk about it, and I'm not trying to make it one, I'm just saying let's have some respect.

    This is also the official forum for the Trail Blazers. They keep a tab on this place. They give the forum and tickets and other benefits. We should have a modicum of respect for the players on the team.

    I apologize for not being more diligent stopping the personal insults. No need to take the week off.

    Wait, wait, wait.

    You're saying we should censor ourselves about the team we love because ... it gives some of us stuff?

    What kind of nonsense is that? I'm not going to stop talking about the Blazers in the way I always have because suddenly we need to not talk about whether Dame's having marriage problems or not.

    Not saying we should censor ourselves, just that we should have respect. And, no not because they sometimes give us stuff, but because we are the official forum. That itself should demand a level of respect from us. Let's have fun, and let's share opinions, and thoughts about the team. But, shit sometimes it's just embarrassing, the shit that gets posted on here. It's not just about respecting Dame or the team, let's respect ourselves.

    It makes sense. Sorry you don't understand the basics of differences. Not my fault though. Carry on.

    Lol no one is going to edit or delete dame hate.

    What we will edit and delete is if you call the person hating on dame a personal insult. (And obviously likewise, if they call you a personal insult.) And it should be fairly obvious what those are.

    But bashing dame? It has been known that he has read this forum once or twice but is not a member. Therefore it's fine to bash him however you want (with only offensive-to-everyone language being edited/deleted.)

    You guys make modding out to be this big extrapolated thing, when in reality it's really quite simple. Don't say stupid, insensitive, personal insults, your message stays.

    It's Dame himself who made himself a topic of controversy...that's not on his fanbase. I don't hate him, but I've lost a lot of respect I had for how he's broached this demand. I always say I've never been more disappointed by someone I had great respect for. If not being a fan of his music makes me a critic, I'll gladly own that. People weren't as sensitive about other Blazers like Terry Stotts or Meyers Leonard or CJ or Evan Turner, etc...though....selective bashing? I doubt the organization liked any of those criticisms either.

    Same, sounds like he's running from the grind (marriage).

    I don’t go to Giants and 49ers boards, but those are my baseball and football teams. Both have given me plenty to root for, including championships during my lifetime that I am fortunate to have witnessed and enjoyed. The Giants’ 2021 season was pretty epic, even though they didn’t win the championship. But the 2010, 2012, and 2014 championships were amazing (UCD and I were there up front for the 2014 parade - left only hours after clinching for SF).

    That’s Phase two of my plan. First I need to do a bunch of sit-ups.
