The game got the best of me? You were suspended WHEN WE WERE WINNING. You knew what you were doing. We felt you were trolling and we gave you a 24 hour suspension. It is what it is. Keep putting it on me but if I had waited 2 minutes it would have been Sly who suspended you.
And I still don't understand what I said that was trolling. Neither do many other posters in this thread. They don't get it either. This also reminds me of you telling me I was being negative in a thread just last week. Look here: http://sportstwo.com/threads/255411...-(PST)-CSNNW?p=3235795&viewfull=1#post3235795 How in the world is that being a "negative Nancy"? Saying the Blazers don't want to face OKC in the 1st round? Really? Does this site want discussion and differing opinions? Or just homerism?
My last post had nothing to do with the team It had to do with Lillard getting torched on defense. He was getting lit up and it was ugly, so I made that post. I pointed out Lillard was paying awful defense when he was. Sorry.
I didn't do anything to stifle or end discussion. I think you are intentionally over negative. I think you do that much in the same way that Mixum did. Not to present the other side of an opinion but to spin people up and provoke a reaction.
As proven by the fact that he was a fucking ghost during our big winning streak, but only returned after we lost a couple games.
No, my suspension was warranted. This place was out of control then, though. I notice Further, who also should have been banned, rarely posts anymore because he knows what a completely horrible PM it was he sent to me. You're posting a ton lately, NateBishop3. I'm not sure if this board has stats, but you have to be far ahead of other posters the last month in terms of volume. Sometimes, stepping back and taking a break (forced or otherwise) works. I just see a pattern with you lately, and how you are obviously choosing 'sides' in you posting, which turns into baiting, which then turns into you have the power to suspend someone. I think the public ridicule thing works better, such as me posting to BrianfromWA about how often he rehashes the same points about LMA. I've noticed he's slowed down on those posts, and we're actually have some discussions on the main board that are related to CJ, or Stotts, or etc. etc.
Mixum would spam multiple threads That post may have been my first post in the game thread up to that point. And yes, I still say Portland shouldn't want to play OKC in the 1st round. I do think they are the better team. Now don't ban me!
I took a break myself for about 2 months after being threatened to be banned by Sly at the same time Natebishop was trolling me. It made absolutely no sense. Of course I'm accused of coming back when the season started going down the drain. We all know the season is over.
Not counting the timbertrolls, you were the last person I banned/suspended before Roytoy. How long ago was that? Please, show me where I'm abusing my power. I didn't suspend MM. I didn't ban Mixum. You guys like to scream about mod abuse and baiting, but you guys are some of the worst baiters on the forum. G you seriously try to bait someone at least once a day. They're usually subtle, like a shot at wanting to trade Aldridge or begging to get the mod job back, etc. Do I ban you for it? No. Do I suspend you for it? No. The only two times that I have banned you were because of an out-of-control argument with Zags and the thing with Further. So if I'm abusing power, don't you think I would have banned you years ago? When have I ever banned you for arguing with me? Hell, most of the time I don't even edit you for attacking me. I just take it. I really don't see how that's abuse.
What about the other 2 I gave you? My point is suspensions are being used here more than they have in the past. You seem to say it is the same posters be suspended, but it's not. I have seen 3 long time posters suspended in the last 90 days. I don't remember it being like this years ago, but the board was the same if not more volitile in years past than now. But whatever, I was just making an observation that the suspension tool is being used more liberally these days. Just like with shifts in NBA rules, posters will simply have to adjust (or mods stop calling it so tight ) Also giving examples of mod abuse? When did I ever say "mod abuse"?
