    Usually you're not this obvious. You're slipping, Rudy.

    I guess I don't see the trolling in this thread. While the title could have been more specific, it is accurate.

    GTFO, the title implies he feels betrayed by the Blazers for not being a starter. when in fact he feels betrayed by his old team of 7 years for trading him. Typical Mixum bait.

    It's bait, yes, but because you and everyone else interpreted it incorrectly, doesn't make it trolling


    I could call you up and say ewes suck, and not at all be talking about you. It's how it's interpreted

    Isn't it the fault of the person interpreting the title? Because the title is accurate, if you read that actual first post.

    Right now the Wallace story goes "Wallace cant wait to start... but he feels betrayed... Is it the Blazers fault? Check my thread to find out. The Gerald Wallace ongoing trade saga by Mixum.... With Dwight Jaynes"

    Yeah, because it is possible to read the post before reading the title. Good call!

    The title is just fine. If you don't like the way he titled the thread, I'm sorry.

    I would be interested to see someone try to put a recap of the article into six words in a more accurate fashion.

    Some might call that good marketing. The title is vague enough to attract enough attention for further clarification. In other words, it made people click on the thread. :)

    Sorry. Does that mean you leave your objectivity in your forum? :)

    No. It's not.

    If you like the way it is titled, I'm sorry.

    Let's see...

    Is the title going to be changed? No.

    Is it fine? Yes.

    You're the person acting upset over a thread title. If you assumed that the title meant something, well, that was your own fault. You basically outed yourself as being narrow-minded and incapable of understanding nuance. :)

    Fine as in "misleading in order to get people to click it"? Yes.

    Fine as in "how rational human beings interpret"? No.
