And as always, I am stunned by Bonns behaviour, having always believed that Bonn is a perfect example of how to behave in a debate, with his fair-minded attitude, honesty and ability to gracefully concede when his point is disproven. once again we have furthered global togetherness and peace with Bonns perfectly nuanced comments. I stand and applaud a greater man than all of us put together. Thank you thabk you thabk you for helping this forum regain its togetherness.

I subscribe that the interest of any topic is driven by the participants.

If the orthodox are really that upset about having non Knick topics on the Knick forum they should start themselves by showing leadership by and exemplifying such forum discipline as a lifestyle. Why should the Nets be any different than Boston or Philly?

How do we enforce such a rule? What do we do with those that are unbelievers? Do we allow greater leniency in the offseason? What about former players who were knicks? If we discuss Gallo, do we discuss it as a former player or as a Nugget?

Is there to be enforcement from the Mod? Or shall the Elders cast thy poster labeling them a "hater" for violation and marked for persecution? Is a confessional and forgiveness for moments of weakness to be tolerated?

Its obvious some think Melo is the savior but not everyone is convinced? With MDA "Judas" expelled can old testament tolerate the belief or can only a trip to the finals or an MVP award convince?

So many things to decide.

I could be wrong but I believe you posted that you post net stuff here because this forum has the most users/readers. Trying to integrate another team into a team specific forum doesn't make sense to me personally. I know the conversation is good here and the posters know basketball. However, this is a team specific sub forum on a site for a specific team. I don't see lots of threads about the sixers or celtics. Generally threads about other teams are limited to game threads or occassionally trade or free agent related.

You are badly mistaken. The only comment close to what you're saying was that martin, the moderator, said the reason he allows these posts here in the off-season is that this forum has the post readers.

Bonn, this is what I was referring to. Harden's free throws follies distracted me or I would have put it up sooner.

Problem is the Knick forum is where the traffic is. We talk olympics there. What Charles Barkley says, and other things not +10000000000000 related to the Knicks.

OK, then Nalod said it too. I believe that in one of the dozens of threads where the two newbie moderator wannabes complained Martin said the same thing. What do you think about Nalod's point anyway? Have you voiced complaints in threads about the Olympics or about Charles Barkley quotes?

I don't have a problem with either thread you mentioned. I think there is a difference when one is trying to integrate another team on a team specific forum.

Of late, more has been written about what is written than any actual content of all subjects!

In the "Oh Phuch it" thread go read for yourself. If nobody wants to talk about it would not have been talked about. It dies, goes away like all expired threads.

Ha, true! What's weird is I don't remember there being this many arguments back in the Isaiah Thomas days, and man those were the toughest days of all- I think they honestly killed our collective optimism.

I'm guessing that everyone was united in their belief that Isiah was a complete disaster back then. Last season we had a strike shortened season but a great deal of turmoil and turnover, and much to debate. Next year's squad might not go as far as we'd like, not that I'm predicting that, but I do believe by the end of the season that most of us will say that this squad did us proud.

Not guaranteeing it. Just confident that this is the best squad as far as talent and attitude that we've had in a long time.

activity is getting old.

I think you are trying to get others to ignore any sense of formality here. When you go to the forum index look at the sub forum titles. Knicks forum is a team forum. When you want to post net sh@t you don't select the Knicks sub forum. Also, you seem to have a fondness for the nets. One of the best team sites they I am awAre of is Netsdaily.

I follow the nets. I have friends and family that are very devoted to the nets. I also can watch almost every net game with my cable package do I watch the when the Knicks are not on. However, I don't talk nets in the KNICK forum. Start a nets thread in a sub forum and I will post net sh@t.

They also have a site forum called "UltimateNets.com". There's also another one in RealGM.com but again only about 2 fans post comments there on any given day and it's so boring. No wonder the Knicks haters come here.

Trust me, there has been far more written about Nalod and the N**ts than Nalod ever wrote about the N**ts!

Of late, more has been written about what is written than any actual content of all subjects!

Ha, there probably has! I do actually like your Knicks posts, which has made this difficult- its like having a friend who has developed a crystal meth habit and it's getting to a the point you feel you might have to arrange an intervention to help them

Imagine how good my N*Ts posts could be?

Like I said, easy 20-1 ratio of what I have written vs. what others keep talking about. I also contend they are not subliminal N*t posts either.

At the very least I provide some content to be discussed. The Rainman that habitually suggests I move on says nothing.

At least I now have some redeeming thoughts when the N*ts beat the Knicks. Perhaps they can blame "Haters" for the sheer suggestions that defeat was even possible!
