    I don't get Cup. Met him once. Nice guy. Knows a lot about basketball, just likes to argue.

    S2 used to be great.

    Then all the O-Live posters arrived and turned this into O-Live.

    What was really bad is when we made an O-live poster a mod. All down hill from there.

    Several guys always stick together and insist conversations conform to their sense of what the forum opinions should be. True homers for sure, which would be fine but they try to force it on others, by stifling other opinion if not trying to silence the poster. Support your team, don't criticizes it, then when that doesn't work, they pull out the race card at any opportunity.

    Lanny, Cup, Hoperunsdeep are the core of this group. I, for several years didn't mind being a count weight to these tactics but, I decided to let it go when Lanny attacked me in full force for being a disappointment to him. I didn't want to cause the fellow anymore trouble than he already has. I had Posted before the last draft that the name Shabazz was like fingernails on a blackboard, I hope we don't draft him.

    Lanny went ape shit over that and attacked me for the racists posts. I suppose it might be, but
    actually if you read the fatwa about Shabazz, I find it is a racist story about the devil white man
    and his days are about over, so running around with the name is more of the same. He was named in memory of the tribe of Shabazz and I don't think that naming was intend to calm any tensions.

    Anyway screw them, enough.

    I think it's deeper than that, honestly. There is something to the game. And it is a game for him, and a few others. The problem is the forum is on life support. What next?

    Why must we conform?

    As sly said, I guess if you don't like someone or dislikes your takes here, they can block you or them.

    On that note, how do you block? If I want to block Sly for good, how would one do that? Kidding, Sly. Wouldn't do that. But what is the procedure?

    You must submit in writing why you want to block that person and include a $20 blocking fee. But for only $30 more you can have that person banned and that doesn't require any reason why, just the moniker of the person.

    I can't remember how. Mods aren't allowed to block members and members aren't allowed to block mods.

    I already paid you $300 to ban you and nothing happened! It's a scam!

    They changed the format, and it made it more work than it was worth to follow a conversation. That's the biggest reason I left. Plus, most of the people I used to go there to conversate with are over here now.

    I left because of the format and a few people who went out of their way to be annoying.
