    Thanks for the editing, your reading comprehension needs work though. I suggested that I would rather use actual English than shorten words specifically to get 140 characters like this forum was Twitter. I never corrected anyone's grammar or spelling, I do that enough for work.

    As it relates to Aspergers, just because there have been some functional adults who may or may not have suffered from the disease does not make it any less insulting than calling someone a whore, or suggesting someone get checked for aids. I can come up with a great list of people who were successful adults and whores, I can also come up with a compelling list of people who were successful and had or have Aids/HIV.

    I never said anyone had aids, it was implied, (the same as it was implied that I have Aspergers) but I was suspended for it. Be consistent, if providing a list of successful people that suffer from a particular infliction makes it not an insult than MM and myself should have never been suspended, because I can certainly provide such a list.

    Otherwise, let's just move on an discuss basketball.

    There are aspects to this thread that continue to bother me, but for the most part it gives me faith that posters on this forum are capable of having dignified conversation. Unfortunately, it also makes it easier for me that LA is out injured and the team is winning without him. Without LA on the floor, I have no reason to root for anyone to go 6-25 from the field. Furthermore, it helps that without LA, Lillard and Batum get far more aggressive, which is really all I want. If LA is going to be a jump shooter fine, then Lillard and Batum need to be aggressive in getting their offense if his shot is not falling. Lillard does this a lot more than Batum but both still defer way too much to LA. Lillard and Batum being aggressive makes us a better team and that is my main goal. For playoff success if you depend solely on one player you cannot win, Jordan needed Pippen, Kobe needed Gasol and Shaq, Lebron needed Wade and Bosh.

    Bean soup and oatmeal. That's all my teeth can handle. I'm sensitive.

    You could also eat Jello and Snack Pack's unless the sugar is too much, but I am sure they have a sugar free version of at least Jello.

    It could be that he's exhausted from following 2 consecutive D league games (well, he did fall asleep through most of one) and doing the scouting report on Allen Crabbe. So being known now as King Crabbe, he's probably still adjusting.( jlprk, feel free to insert "you're" in place of "he's" here)

    You're not a true fan. But, many of us already knew this. You root for failure so you can be "right" on the internet. That's even more fucked up than those of us who post here and cheer for the team to succeed.

    Yep as long as Blazers win I feel just fine about it, only feel bad when the 6-25 leads to terrible losses.

    But, in essence, you're hoping for something bad so you can be right.... win or lose, really. ('Cause I believe I've seen both.)

    So, how did you find out my first name? Are you literally stalking me on the internet?
