    No not confused really. I just don't think OKC will continue to be as competitive. So i don't see that as a good pick. I see them not getting into the playoffs in 3 years. So the Hawks will be stuck with two second rounders.
    Now the expiring contract does them good but still nets them nothing if they can't get an All Star to decide to go there. I get your point. Picks and cap space always are a good thing. But this is the Atlanta Hawks. They pretty much need to build the same way the Blazers do. If it was my choice i would have asked for more. But who knows??? Maybe they did? Thunder might have been happy staying with who they had? Guess we will see how this works for them? Just seems Carmelo Anthony always comes out on top of every deal he gets. In my opinion. This is no different. Anthony gets to play on a contender and he gets paid a bunch all at once.

    The vast majority of posts that are edited or deleted are done without anything being said.

    Sometimes I do say things, especially if there is a large multiple post argument between more than one person.

    Sometimes you make the "oh shit, dad just got home!" post so everyone know the mods have seen these posts and are taking some action.

    This can be done for multiple reasons, 1) It's a nice way to say knock it the fuck off. 2) People have either sent complaints or PMs about posts in the thread.

    I don't have time to write everyone and explain what I'm doing or going to do.

    But even if @Strenuus did seek a "gold star of approval" (which I don't buy, Stren is a good dude who knows he'll never get props from people who were moderated) what's wrong with that? The mods do a shit load of thankless work around here. If they want to take a victory lap after reading through some of the BS around here then I'm fine with it.

    Sorry, if it's a continuing problem you will be contacted privately via PM.

    We just don't have time to reach out to everyone and explain to them what they did and what we did. That would take hours.

    As I have talked to you previously in public and private, you push the personal insult rule to an extreme. You do this intentionally. Repeatedly pushing things to the edge means you sometime step over the line. It happens.

    It's only a big deal if you want to make it one.

    I have to admit, I hadn't actually thought of that. That's a really good point.

    It's been mentioned before. Melo is not the main guy this time around with Harden and CP3 already there. It'll be interesting, but I don't foresee it as being such a big problem for D'Antoni. I think Melo will have to commit and change his style of play for the sake of the team. However, we will see if he's capable of doing that this upcoming season.

    I completely understand why it isn't a big deal to you and why this piece of pettiness shouldn't even be in your radar right now.

    That said, yeah, censorship is a big deal to me.

    I completely disagree that I broke the personal insult rule and the explanation I was given by Platy wasn't sufficient and still haven't heard from @Strenuus.

    I stand by my post that I don't feel should've been deleted.

    Sorry to bother you John. I know this is some really petty shit.

    But I can't let this one fly...

    When was the last time you talked to me about the personal insult rule? Nevermind I'll remind you. It's when Nate's racist ass got banned. And even then, I felt my personal insults of him were deserved. It was the least I could do.

    Now that was however long ago.
    No infringements... No "extreme pushing of the personal insult rule" since then...

    Then I type (something along the lines of):

    "Nobody cares what you think"

    I can't remember verbatim because it was deleted...

    That's an "extreme rule push"? I need to be reminded about my "extreme rule pushing" for THAT?? I'm sorry... That just weak... It's really fucking weak.

    People type way worse shit than that everyday.

    These are the posts that were deleted:

    I have no problem with @Strenuus removing those posts.

    All Stren was trying to do was stop an argument that was going on between 5 or 6 of you.

    It’s quite possible others have mentioned it and my stupid butt didn’t hear it or put it all together until now, nonetheless I feel like it’s interesting (and for me a new) thought.

    Sigh.... It's not just the idiotic posts that's ruining the forum...

    [​IMG]

    So... I'm referred to as one who stands in a crowd whilst vigorously pulling his member to completion, and enjoys this moment only because I'm able to see my counterparts faces.... :wacko:

    Then I tell him to get outta here with that bullshit... o_O

    Yeah... I still vehemently disagree...

    I guess I find the best way to prevent/stop an argument is to call out the one who's causing it. Not sure why anyone thinks he enriching the forum...

    Oh.. Damn... Maybe that was a personal attack... Am I gonna have to ask myself that every post now?? Gotta walk on eggshells around this place... :mellow:

    Not to wade into another place where I'm not wanted, but the circle jerk thing was an actual quote from someone talking about circling jerking (lol); @dviss1 was just quoting someone else. In other words, @dviss1 didn't START the circle jerk, he FINISHED it.

    Biscuits, waffles...is this a breakfast thread now?

    I like omelets, personally. And we all know that @Carmelo Anthony likes honey-nut Cheerios.
