I have felt the exact same way. There are some people on the left here who have ripped me a new asshole all because I said something was gay but the left never understands context, they just freak out over everything and even with me believing in gay rights people were calling for me to banned because I said something was gay. A specific referee in fact who wasn't gay but made terrible calls. Oh my bad I called him a SlyPokerDog. these are all words people give power too. Magical words. Then people proceeded to call me a bigot all because I used a magical word when in reality they were being the bigots at that moment. CONTEXT. Learn in people. I know Portland is full of over sensitive snowflakes but come on, not everybody that disagrees with you is a "bigot,racist, homophobic,".
Is ABM Albert from the old official game threads on the Blazers homepage back in the Sarah Hecht days of moderating them? Albert was one of my favorite game thread dudes....
He was "Atlanta Blazer Man" I think is what that stood for, and he posted on OregonLive and Basketball Forums, and I believe when the Laker mods started messing that forum up he and Denny teamed up to get us all here from both of those places.
You called someone a name, then they called you a name, and now you're mad that they called you a name for calling someone else a name?
This is what is wrong with so many people today. It's worst when it comes to politics and religion, which is why those are such volatile subjects, but it's seen with people looking down up those who like a different gender, if someone likes weed, if someone doesn't like weed, if someones a "redneck", if someone's a "thug" etc... For whatever reason, a lot of people can't respect others differences in general, even just a difference of opinion. It's bad over in that OT section though, but that's just a reflection of society.
I get this whole thing. Off topic is where conservatives have a free pass to act as crazy as they want. But, I have met some of those people in real life. They are all good peeps. They just lose sight of responsibility over the Internet. I've met maris before. I took him and his wife to a beautiful beach in Florida. He is a great guy. I might disagree with him about politics, but he is a super nice guy. It is easy to be shitty on the Internet.
If you use the word faggot knowing how it makes gay people feel and don't care you're probably an asshole.
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=faggot I don't use the word, just thought you should know...
That part of the video doesn't really affect my point at all but I was wondering if that was actually true.
I remember that game thread and I can tell you I wasn't mad at what you said nor the context of what you said. What got to me, and I thought was very childish, was that someone asked you not to say that and you pretty much said "why the hell should I not say that, sorry if it offends you but i'm going to say whatever the hell I want to say so get over being offended by it".
