    You must be mistaken and tagged the wrong post because nowhere in my post did it say anything like what you quoted.

    So a boy scout would get thrown out of 29 games in a season? That is well over 25% of the season.

    I know, I was indicating that I thought it was the correct decision. Sorry if I worded that in a weird tense.

    Nope.

    Let's see what I said you said and what you said.

    What I said you said: "When he wanted to, he could have been an all-time great."
    What you said: "Fell in love with the jumper and refused to work hard on defense. SOFT."
    You didn't mention that he could have been an all-timer in your post, but given he was a multiple-time all-star and one of the most productive and successful Blazers ever, presumably you'd think he'd have been better if he hadn't "fallen in love with his jumper", "refused to work hard on defense" and been "SOFT".

    What I said you said: "His attitude made him worthless."
    What you said: "Waste of space... When he didn't feel like playing he just decided to get kicked out of the game and then he just went and cashed his check."
    This I almost exactly restated.

    If you didn't mean to repeat the same old nonsense about his attitude, lack of meeting potential, and worthlessness as a Blazer, then you probably shouldn't have posted what you did.

    Do you quite often put words that you perceive someone meant into their comments?
    Must be fun living in a world where you can rewrite everything you read and make it fit your narrative?
    Oh that’s right? You’re a moderator here. You can just rewrite stuff anyway.

    Has a player the status of Morant ever had less impact on winning? They sure seem to be better without him.

    I don't have to rewrite anything. I was paraphrasing.

    You claim my comment wasn't consistent with your post, and I showed you that it was. Rather than point out why I misinterpreted or misrepresented your POV, you attacked me as a poster.

    As I said, I don't need to rewrite anything to show you you're incorrect and I get the sense you aren't really trying to be logical.

    @Ed O I don’t think this rookie knows who he’s dealing with here, did you need me to handle this?

    I don’t care who he is?
    He flat out rewrote my post and he knows it. I absolutely never said the things he tried to imply I said. I’ve seen how you respond to that sort of thing. It ain’t pretty.

    Huh? Thats exactly what you did. Or you would have just quoted his posts verbatim.
    Instead you rewrote it without showing what he said exactly.
    I mean, how can you seriously think you didn't rewrite his posts?

    Looks like he was suspended. I didn't watch the after effects so i missed it. If he initiated a conflict with the fans, understandable. If fans started stuff with him on his way out and he yelled back, not suspension worthy. Opponents crowds can be very rude at times.
