Media narrative? Thats all you got? How did the team do in the aftermath of the trade? Real results not Media Narrative&
It's interesting how Nalod always has to have one user to bully at a time. Currently it's Philc1.
Previously it was knicks1728 or whatever his handle was. For a short time it was Briggs.
It's a bit stalker-like
It is interesting.
Its also interesting that some of you let inaccurate **** slide and that creates more fans digesting falsehoods and the spew it out as facts.
You call it "bullying". I call it fact checking.
Phil can say 20 things but do I bully; all of it?
Fact is he has gotten better as he is not making up ****. When others call him out is it bullying?
Martin calls out bull**** all the time but he lets us mostly self monitor. If not it dies. You see others sites come and go because you get a few participants who just relentlessly make **** up.
Dont; forget orangeblob man, TMS, and Playa2. I don;t ban anyone nor control a thing around here. But I call out bull**** as should most of you. This is our place to discuss and learn. Making **** up like you in the room or in Thibs head should be called out. State " I think Thibs might be thinking"; is so easy and does not reek of BS. We all read the same stuff. If you come up with something its actually a good thing to site the source. Especiall stats.
Notice when I go after a hard BS line I back it with a stat? The actual link? Does PhilC often defend it? No. Does he deflect the subject? Yes.
Have I have ever been wrong? Yes, and I admit it. Why? Whats the point of doubling down. Some of the posters when called out don;t. Its an ego thing or what?
And lets be straight, 99% of the time its about a post, not the poster. Briggs has expressed some very personal views about some items like the Primo incident as "boys will be boys"; as a most recent example. Thats on him to view it and it goes one step futher.
We have had some very interesting topics over the years with some very intelligent contributors which I found valuable and learned from. Contrast that to some really off the wall ignorant stuff and I was not alone in.
Glad you find it interesting. Feel free to correct me or anyone else to keep this site a place of honest opinions and accurate discussions.
Right, so when you called knicks1248 "Rainman" after every one of his posts, that was about the post or the poster?
Look there are posters whose posts I find annoying. You can just ignore them. I ignore Kemet for example. Used to be nixluva. But I don't stalk them.
I did stop calling him names. That I admit was a bit raw. The ****ing guy was off the rails though and he did relent.
Kemet? I dont agree with many of his views but like I said its not about that. Its how its presented as either opinion or facts.
I did not call 1248 names after each post. Just the crazy ones. He came off as arrogant, redundant, made up stuff and got called out on it. One famous was how knick sere being disrespected because they the game was aired at 3pm and he goes off on how ESPN hates them, etc. I explained they were playing in Europe. Nope, was not having it. They I explained in London it was 8 pm there. Never a "Oh, yeah, forgot" Fuck that **** man. Sorry if you have an relative or one you love afflicted like a fictional movie character and my words offended you. I stopped and never used it toward an other intensely redundant posters who freaks out over the same thing over and over again.
I call it bullying because you have one poster at a time who gets in your craw, and you're up their ass immediately after each of their posts. Like you have some bot scraping the site alerting you for their posts. It would be fine if you were generally fact checking everyone. Or random posts. But you're not. As i said in my original post, it's interesting that you serially choose one poster at a time (generally till they disappear) to pick on. That is bully behavior.
I'll be honest. I don't like even your non-bullying posts. They come off as preachy/superior and vacuous at the same time. Rambling with no point except that we can't make a conclusion at this time. Rarely do you state an actual opinion and you seem to take pride in not doing so. But fine, i have the option knowing your posts don't actually have any content of value and skipping over them.
So let me ask you this. Do you consider yourself a bulkwark against ignorance on the Internet? Are you going to clean it up one user at a time? And you came to UK (a sports fan site, of all places) to do so? Maybe you should switch it up and fact check on a site that debates vaccinations.
I suppose we all have that one special poster that just grates on us. I am your special flavor. only difference is you don't jump on my **** but you right there with mine.
Fact is I do very little on the internet but am stead fast love of Knicks and been here a long time.
I guess I do pontificate a bit too much. I post a lot and try to back up my opinions with facts. If not, I state so.
Did I just do that superior thing again? Oh my!
This is not the first time you jumped on me so on a micro basis you do me, I do PhilC. If in 20 years only a handful of posters get on my nerve out of 100's thats a pretty low amount. If you notice, PhilC and I sometimes go back and forth and its kept a bit light. I don't call him names? That was one special dude.
Playa was banned more than once for some out there stuff. I don't have any authority at all here to do that.
Opinion with no conclusion. Good point. Fact is many over react to the game and pretend they have good advice for Knicks and coaches. I'll go one more here and say "Its a joke what the average person thinks they know and does not consider the ramifications or details, let alone the timeline to make those suggestions". I hardly do that with everyone, just specific points of view. I don't know or remember your views or agenda's. I don't care. I do know that I will never ever not consider the context of how and when decisions are made when doing hindsight.
Does the UK need me to keep things straight around here? Have I anointed myself the adult in the room when fans lose their ****? Vast majority of views are actually pretty good and valid.k Ok, that might be a bit much. But the don't suck1 If so, someone would troll my ass until I get better! I rarely watch games and post for two reasons. first is I DVR and blow thru commercials. So im not in real time. Second is I don't like to commiserate the negative as I can see it happening. We are not a successful franchise. We lose more than.
Sorry if my writing rubs you the wrong way. Perhaps you got some Nalod in you as you chimed up here to tell me as such! Good for you, I'll look in the mirror and take your advice to heart. Im not above making fun of myself and fully understand My knick time here should be less. Not sure if your definition of Bullying is accurate. I respond to the post, not the person. As said, if you bring your politics to the table then thats on the poster. I don't know PhilC and his intentions are not bad. There are some that got out right racist/Antisemtic and reprimanded not by me but the Admin's. The Banned were given choices to adhere to the board or leave. Fact is Martin told me years ago to cut some things out and the reality is I was given a choice. I chose to adhere. I am a guest. For those that lost their **** and I might have nudged them over the edge? Might be some truth in that. Is that wrong? Not really, I like this place. Its ours. Not mine. We have had trolls here, very emotional fans that lose it and don't want to discuss but flat out rant nonsense. That over takes the tone I'll be gone. Maybe thats the choice, have Nalod and my foibles or 14 year olds come on to tell you "Randle sucks balls" and we should dump him. No recognizing the salary or trade kickers or what might come back in return. Redundant whining will ruin this place.
There is a price to pay for good websites. Nalod might be the worst you have to tolerate.
