    I guess I -do- have to spell it out word for word.

    1) I said some - I wasn't implying you. I know you didn't say that. I thought that was clear.

    2) I have no ban privileges. It would have just been deletion of posts. That's it and that's all. No banning, no words of banning. Just wanting to curtail it.

    3) It's ridiculous the assumptions people make. It's pretty clear. I wanted to ban the troll yesterday, but I have no ban privileges.

    I'm glad you paid up. Thats great. Theres nothing against betting, that's between the people. But when it turns personal on the forum, I'll nip it in the bud. I have no problem with doing that. I was not the only one that took the words as jabs rather than "complimenting" him, which it really wasn't, and wasn't taken that way by the recipient of the 'compliment'. Therefore, I stepped in. It would turn cyclical very quickly.

    I used my discretion, I issued a warning. There were no ban implications made. But apparently, they were assumed. Now it's cleared up. Lets drop it.

    Still not understanding why he has to apologize.

    In the series prediction poll I picked the Blazers to win in 7 games. I also predicted the Blazers to win in 2 of the score prediction threads. (I didn't enter in two of them.) I would like to apologize for those very wrong predictions.

    Oh he doesn't have to do anything. I'm just saying I would have.

    I guess I can see that up to a point. If I had started a thread before the season that I guaranteed Zach Collins was going to be rookie of the year, at some point I'd have to raise my hand and say, welp, I guess I got that one wrong. But i wouldn't think I'd need to apologize and i wouldn't expect people would be mad at me about it.

    Annnnyyyywaaayyyyy....moving on....

    How did I get myself into this conversation? LOL :)

    Well Gents, and Gentiles, It's lawn mowin' time in the valley....

    Cheers!

    :cheers:

    Will you apologize if you end up not mowing your lawn? Will you post before and after pictures to prove you mowed your lawn? Will you eat crow if you accidently run one over with the mower?

    He gets shit for making everything about himself. You can't put him on ignore, because then the forum becomes unreadable with his rush to start every thread. He deserves way more grief than he gets. He travels to support the team, not to be a great fan, but to be able to brag about being the best fan.

    Predictions and guarantees are hardly the same thing.
