    So not only do his posts show his basketball cred, but now he says he can tell the future too.

    Here's the problem, GB, you seem to have inordinate belief that your opinions are always facts, and that those who disagree with you are closed-minded homers. Time after time when people start posting here with that kind of attitude it ends badly.

    Funny that the person who claims people will be "butt hurt" is the one who is the most "butt hurt" of anyone.

    I think what @dviss1 is trying to say is that your "opinions" are often obviously wrong, and demonstrate you don't really know what's happening.

    How about trying to better explain WHY you think the way you do?

    In this thread, for example, you could have said something like:
    We have great YOUNG pieces in Nurk, Collins, and Bazz. If we could get something (e.g. Josh Jackson + a Phoenix pick) for Dame and
    something (e.g. Jalen Brown) for CJ, then we'd have a nucleus of a potentially great team down the road when GSW gets old with a lineup of
    Bazz (26), Brown (21), Jackson (20), Collins (20), and Nurk (23).

    Some won't like your ideas (like me), but some will, and it's a lot better than "Just Dump McLillard." (and please don't bring up Pat as a foundational piece).

    I'm not sure if everyone else caught the irony in this post, so I'll show it.

    "Don't understand this guys need to insult"

    Which was preceded by:

    "just don’t want to waste my time posting here with low level people who can’t handle opposing views."

    In fairness, he only insulted your posts (calling them garbage); you actually insulted him (calling him a nobody). It's a subtle difference, but it's pretty much the only rule this forum has. Attack the post, not the poster.

    He didn’t insult just one post, he said everything I post is garbage... I’m pretty sure that is a personal insult. Either way, I never insult anyone’s post or character unless they come at me first... I’m not gonna sit quiet. Disagree with me and debate... don’t call all my posts garbage.

    I guess I just don't care if people call my posts garbage. Hell, my posts ARE garbage.

    If you honestly consider an attack on your posts as an attack on you personally, then that's on you, not the critic. Most of us are fully capable of compartmentalizing our content and our character.

    There seems to be a lot of newer posters on here with this same way of doing business. I strongly believe this is why this place has slipped a bit.

    I insulted the post not the poster. Forum rules followed. Everything you do post is garbage. 2nd THIS is the personal attack:

    Now, since we're such "low level people".... you probably shouldn't waste your time.

    Honestly, even that really isn't a personal attack, because it's really just stating a preference (which implies commentary on another, but it's veiled).

    THIS is the personal attack:

    I enjoy personally insulting everyone here. They can't ban me. I'm too smart!

    Attacking the post is just a passive-aggressive way of attacking the poster.

    I really don't have a horse in this race as I am laughing my ass off. :biglaugh:
