And i don’t really know how to explain it. It did look like he quit, but just put yourself in his shoes for one moment. He just found out this lepricuan looking mother f’er has been doing his mom. Thats a bridge you just don’t cross. And for the people that think just because he gets paid millions of dollars he shouldn’t let that affect him, well i guess you have never been in that situation. I would like to personaly thank delonte west for making this all happen,

Oh you mean in contrast to your powerful, Kobe didn’t choke because you said so, argument (very common in the Laker nation)?

What "Weak" arguments did I mention?

I dont know, maybe posting the same empty stats without explanation. Saying basketball reference says this so it must be true at least 392 times. No clear argument at all.

Oh I was definitely condescending, towards Kobe Bryant. I wrecked him, because he deserves to get called out.

"trying to stir up trouble"

Wtf is this by the way? How am I stirring up trouble? By saying Kobe chokes? Face it, your mods are cowards over there. I attacked Kobe, not the posters. I can have whatever attitude I want, but I wasn’t being vulgar towards the actual people there. I cursed maybe once in dozens of posts, hah.

And your board is soft. I should be able to troll a public figure, that’s a ridiculous rule. They should be up for criticism, we’re not in fucking Cuba. What mods should enforce are ad hominem attacks, personal attacks that might get too vulgar and to radical. Your pathetic blog is ultra sensitive.

I would love to debate your amazing mods.

If you want to “troll” do it on your own site. Dont come to a Lakers blog and do it. We are welcome to posters from other sites, but all I saw you doing was posting a bunch of random and obscure stats without explanation or anything and saying its true because thats what basketball reference says. I could care less if you like Kobe. It’s just not respectful to post on our blog when your sole purpose is to harass people with tired, incorrect babble that doesnt have any significance to the post or topic. And thats why you got banned.

Well gee, if you call him the Clutch God, then yes you should care.

Maybe in your opinion, but the geniuses I was talking with were diehard Kobe defenders. Remember I was talking to dozens of people that got all touchy about Kobe, not just LA.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, I was talking about so many different games, seasons, intangibles and in that thread. Maybe you got your feelings hurt by my nice little graph though, oh well. You focused on that for some reason. I covered a wide range of subjects in other words, it wasn’t "redundant". Sure I posted some link 2-3 times, I also had a very very varied discussion.

Clutch God? Oh I get it, a few people think that so you might as well go ahead and assume thats what everyone else thinks, yeah that’s a logical statement there. “I posted the link 2-3 times” Uhhh yeah thats what makes it redundant, which is why people get tired of your crap and ban you.

No this isn’t about you, this is about the discussion I had with others. I hope this is clear now.

Once again, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is the win. Individual player stats have little bearing to most Laker fans (including the ones I talk to on that blog) when it comes to winning or losing.

Haha all I did was copy some url, I don’t have to stay up all night for anything. In fact that was the FIRST time I’ve ever posted there. Nice try.

Btw I said last 12 fourth quarters chokejobs. I didn’t do any research for the 08 Finals, lol. Popcorn machine has the game flows anyway I don’t have to calculate jack. All this "research" business, is just easy reading. Neil Paine does the calculating, and other people.

Well thats all you talked about. Didnt contribute anything meaningful to the post except a bunch of obscure figures that again had no significance to the discussion.

Clearly you don’t understand the purpose of a forum I can call the Lakers pathetic, garbage, trash, say Kobe’s a loser and a terrible player. As long as I don’t insult people personally with vulgarities, then it should be fine. They are public figures, not actual posters in the forum.

Uhhh no it isnt. Thats what trolling is. Making ridiculous statements to incite or create a reaction. Im sure people here wouldn’t welcome me coming here and saying “LeBron is a quitter” or “Bosh is worthless trash.” It even says it in our terms and agreements:

SSR: If you come in here just trying to stir up trouble, making comments to try to bait or incite, or making generally ridiculous statements along the lines of “Kobe’s worthless,” you will be ignored. If you keep it up for no reason, you will be made to leave.

Ah there you have it. He doesn’t "like" what I have to say and it is "his" blog. That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to "troll" a professional basketball player’s career. When did they become immune from criticism? And I made it very clear to the guy, if you want me to use clean language or whatever that’s fine.

But I’m definitely not going to agree with whatever they were saying. I’ve used some words like "idiot, moron" etc recently. But normally those are superfluous words and are not needed in a debate. Personal attacks are unnecessary, but banning me because I wouldn’t agree with them is stupid.

he didnt “like” it because it was re-stated over and over again without explanation in an attempt to draw a hostile reaction.

Anyway Im done arguing with you. Goodbye.

You know we all have fully accessible email accounts next to our user names?

Oh, and not to mention coming back with other account names?

I banned you, for several infractions.

Directly quoted from the rules:

If you want to come in and talk negatively about the Lakers, fine. But be ready to back your shit up with evidence. If you come in here just trying to stir up trouble, making comments to try to bait or incite, or making generally ridiculous statements along the lines of “Kobe’s worthless,” you will be ignored. If you keep it up for no reason, you will be made to leave.

– Self-explanatory.

But that was only worth a warning. But then…

Thou shalt respect the wishes of the admins and moderators
This is more of a catch-all than an actual rule, because it would be impossible to list out every type of negative scenario we wish to avoid. Sufficed to say, if one of our fine authors or moderators ask you to do something, like say drop an argument that’s going nowhere, or stay away from using a certain phrase, just do it.

When asked by another moderator to cut it out, you responded by dismissing his request and implying he was facist, hence the ban.

And your board is soft. I should be able to troll a public figure, that’s a ridiculous rule. They should be up for criticism, we’re not in fucking Cuba. What mods should enforce are ad hominem attacks, personal attacks that might get too vulgar and to radical. Your pathetic blog is ultra sensitive.

If it’s a pathetic blog, why did you visit? And why did you come back with two seperate accounts after being banned? Each account takes 5 minutes to set up, plus setting up the email address, meanwhile takes 10 seconds to ban – waste of your time.

Clearly you don’t understand the purpose of a forum I can call the Lakers pathetic, garbage, trash, say Kobe’s a loser and a terrible player. As long as I don’t insult people personally with vulgarities, then it should be fine. They are public figures, not actual posters in the forum.

- And actually, technically all SBN sites are blogs, not forums. I assume you’re smart enough to know the difference. It is a blog, run by Chris, with the help of Dex, Wondah, myself and Gil. There are published rules, and it is the mods’ job to enforce the rules. That’s been done so. You may have a different perception of what should and should not be a rule on a blog, that’s fine. Go create your own blog.

I would love to debate your amazing mods.

I gave you all your SBN warnings for SSR, and I banned the account you’re commenting on on this thread. Feel free to email me if you have any queries, my email account is on my profile specifically so that members (or ex-members) can contact me.

Maybe less by your logic – Hedo got shipped to Phoenix :)
