    Yeah, like a member with less than 50 posts and one month on this board has a clue in the world about how it is here.:rolleyes:


    You can meh all you want, but he is right.

    The only bias I have on this subject is towards peace and quality posts on this board...I'm not interested in yalls pissing contest about who hates or loves Jeremy Lin, all I want are good, factual and reasoned basketball posts......and all this hosscrap about LOFs, LOHs, and ABJs( oh my gawd, who came up with this abortion of an acronym) does nothing but take away from reasoned discussion.

    Before you slam other posters for being new and not presenting factual and reasoned basketball posts, I'd do a little bit of research and find out who the member PhiSlamma (99er but was involved with this community before it became Clutch Fans) is and why he came up with the name ABJ (Anybody But Jeremy).

    ABJ is a terrible acronym for two reasons.

    1. Anybody but Jeremy could also mean you could criticize anybody but Jeremy. So ABJs can be used to refer to people who will not allow any criticism of Jeremy Lin. I always wondered why this acronym came into being considering the fact that it could be used to refer to two completely opposite things depending on context.

    2. It looks like an acronym for "A Blow Job"

    LOHs always have the facts right. Again and again their opinions = facts. So it cannot be the Spurs, we must become like the Heat. IMHO D12 is closer to TD than Bosh. JVG: "Lin underrated." Here is an example. Way to distort facts.

    That's dangerous. Hate wins out against good if every time some people hate someone we get rid of them. Not a good idea, be strong.

    Nice video! Why do people have to hate? Why not just enjoy watching both of them play together? They are OK.

    ~lol~

    Oh my god. Are people debating how good certain Lin-inspired acronyms are? Is that where we're at now?

    But like R2K said, use of these acronyms only ruins any discussion. Just try to post without using them. I guarantee your discussion/debate/argument will be far more fruitful.

    Interesting side note - as of right now, everyone on my Ignore list is someone who talks about Lin in over 90% of their posts (or at least did when I Ignored them). I'm having to get used to scrolling through pages while only seeing 4-5 posts because everyone else is on Ignore. It's just not right. But, it's better than putting up with the never-ending, never-changing Lin discussions. My goal: have everyone who regularly uses those acronyms on Ignore.

    I know who first coined it, and I don't care. I'm not tinman, I don't run around acting like being here in 99 means you have the insight of the gods.

    That being said....PSJ has a bias, an agenda.....I do not.

    JLin was getting really comfortable as he keep playing more games..This is one of JLIn games that will question rumors about JLin getting traded. Next season i see JLin playing like his Linsanity days or close to it...Only if they find a way for Harden and JLin to share the ball though..I am sure they will work something out..
