    I guess you don't know ED O. I don't think he was joking.

    Oh I see. Well, if he wasn't, I think he should be. But I rather not get in to this. So, don't mind me.

    You can say what you want, but people trying to push Blazers fans outside of our forum (especially when so many of us JUST got here) are doomed to fail and simply annoy the majority of us.

    If people don't want to contribute to the conversation, that's cool. Just don't try to tell us what to talk about.

    Well, this group has a history of discussing the NBA in general. And not just the NBA, but politics and other worldly topics. It's a close group, which is pretty much why we all left after the other forum started to mess with the core. Not a good idea.

    I want to speak to this point.

    S2 has a lot of members who came from other sites that weren't made up of strong team communities like the Blazers fans are. They're speaking up from their own experience is all.

    You all have been together a long time and have used the same forum software elsewhere. You know how to find the other forums if you want. It's not site policy to move threads from team forums to their "proper place" in other team forums, or direct people where to post.

    We'd be much better served to build communities like the Blazers in every team forum than try to push people to post where they don't want to or in ways that otherwise dilute the wonderful community spirit you guys have.

    I spy a failed experiment that ultimately made nobody happy for the few days we tried it.

    It's a policy that can be enforced by mods. It's not actually written down. . . . Oh wait, I was having a flash back.

    Can I say I fucking hate Beasley, sorry just wanted to get that off my chest. The guy has a bigger ego than Kobe, who at least has earned the right to be an asshole.

    Kobe seems to have lowered his ego in recent year. About Beasley, he's just another professional sports player in this country who makes dumb decisions and probably won't learn from them. I do think he will be a great player though.

    Unfortunately I agree he's going to be a very good player, but not one that makes his teammates better. IMO- he'll win Rookie of the Year because he'll put up big stats this year.
