Negativity, especially in game threads

HCP is a professional name dropper.

He plays bridge with Terry Stotts.

Dame lets him wash/wax his car.

CJ let him carry his bags one time.

Of course, there's photo evidence of all of these events because HCP is the selfie king.

 

It's time.

I have been viewing the forum for a while now, and thought this was a great thread to reintroduce myself into. Before my illness, I was a negative poster, and I understand how that can rub people the wrong way. However, as a negative poster, I never got annoyed with positive posters because I, like them, wanted the team to succeed. However, I never really understood why they had such a hard time being honest about the team. When I got sick, and part of my brain ended up in a lab waste disposal, I became a very different kind of negative poster. Downright mean. I actually equate that to the way Kingspeed is as well with his overly pollyanna type attitude. He is so "I told you so" I hated when he posted. He would throw 1000 ridiculous predictions against the wall, and when 1 of them would be correct he was the first to call out all those who dared disagree with him and his far superior basketball knowledge (learn the game, then post). When I said I was leaving because of a brain tumor, he said good riddance. Rude, but that's who he is, I guess? I think, like many of the positive posters have said in this thread, that we can all co-exist pretty easily. The arguing has to stop. Some posters just need to accept that I don't think American born white centers and guys that went to Syracuse are good picks in the lottery, and in turn, I need to understand that many people find that irrational and think I'm insane for thinking that with no statistical basis. This isn't about me, I was just using those as examples. I wish Erik well, and hope he comes back slightly more rational than when he left. I will not be posting with any type of regularity, but when I do, it will be vastly different from before because I am vastly different from before.

 

Nice to have you back. I like the forum as a place where anyone is entitled to and can express their own opinions.

Only thing I dislike are trolls that post things for attention. Eric skirted that boundary far too often, but I still hope he can come back because I think he often provides a viewpoint that should be expressed.

 

I missed you man.

 

"Skirted" LOL

 

MY DAWG IS BACK!!!!!!! Glad to see you are still upright and dropping knowledge! And if it means anything, I hate big white American born players as well!

 

Great to hear from you, MM. Hope the docs didn't remove too much of the snark. This place needs a touch of that to offset us homers.

 

"Hispanic Causin' Panic"?

I always thought it stood for "Huge Cocky Prick".

 

KingJinx isn't going anywhere...... trust me. He's reading this thread as I type. Just got ANOTHER text from him. #HCP=CLASSLESS/UNDERPAID

 

This dude is one step awa

Oh snap..... Everybody BUT Meyers.... and Przybilla

 

Welcome home MM.

 

I just lost all respect for eric.

Really dude? A dick size contest saying you make way more than him?

Absolutely pathetic.

 

Never understood people that needed to flaunt their income in the face of others...

Specially when they don't know all of the facts. Hell HCP could be a closet billionaire

 

really great post MM....the board has lacked the balance you bring whether negative or not...glad you seem to have recovered and hope to see you post more. Go Blazers!

 

I don't feel bad about HCP posting KS's texts. Eric is doing this to himself and it's straight up embarrassing at this point.

 

His posts are pretty much the same way. I'm right, you're wrong. I'm better than you. I'm smarter than you. The mods seem to like him though, so we just have to deal with it. Sadly, there have been some really good contributors to the forum that have left, stating he was the main reason. It's not his fault, I know he suffers from Bi-polar disorder. It's still tough. I know I made things tough on people as well.
