    On opening night, Kenny, Charles, and Shaq all picked ther West playoff seeds and none of them picked us to even make the playoffs.

    Another post about me, and not about basketball. We can call it an obsession now. Your comment also doesn't make any sense. What excuses have I made for calling Portland a play-off team from day 1? Do tell. Never mind. Don't. Just go back to eating crayons.

    Gary Payton said it all at OSU last week during an interview. They won't let you play defense anymore. If you want to stay on the court you can't touch anybody. Free throw basketball is boring. I don't like the NBA game anymore. That never gets addressed on these sites..staying on the court helps when you want to win games. The glove has spoken!

    This statement could just be cut and pasted on most regular fans posts...probably me included. We are creatures of habit after all.

    Hmm... my post wasn't towards "you". It was asking a very simple question of if it was sarcasm, because I had seen it a lot. How on earth is that anything towards you? If you took it that way, it wasn't about that. I just simply asked. If I had known it would have struck a nerve....

    Eh. It was taking personally when it was just an over-arching question. Not what I intended, but it seems that intention falls through when the recipient of that message (not just from me, but from anybody, and not just the recipient of this message, either... in general) is on a mission to talk down to someone, and isn't reading the message the way it was intended. Skewed perspective, perhaps. That's on them.

    You will find great success in forum banter when you post your thoughts on the topic presented by other posters instead of whether or not someone else should post something or not about the topic. Playing "forum police" must be exhausting. I would add, it takes effort to distinguish between talking about an opinion, and making a personal attack.

    If you have questions about anything I post that appears to be a personal attack, ask yourself if I am responding to a personal attack. If not, feel free to PM me and I would be happy to address your grievance. Like Rambo said, "He drew first blood, not me."

    I'd also encourage you to go through all the threads I've posted in and check it out for yourself. What you'll find is: 1) boy gets mad that I made fun of his argument 2) boy lashes out with personal attack 3) Mod doesn't tell angry boy to shut the fk up 4) I poke boy's wounded ego with a stick and laugh 5) boy cries wolf.

    I don't expect Mod's to have to baby sit 24/7. Stick to topic and your ego will be safe and sound.
