    You don't realize that this means anyone can be an insider by just throwing out names and claiming "things didn't pan out" when none of their predictions come true?

    No, obviously you don't and never will.

    Luckily we have a crack staff here who shuts down fake insiders and allows the legit ones to keep sharing information.

    It took a whole season before Progs finally got caught admitting to just trolling before he got shut down.

    Clutch does a good job. He doesn't just ban anyone claiming to be an insider because he isn't 100% sure either. He vouched for Cyber but his decision not to ban others isn't him vouching for them. Progs continued on for a long while before getting cracked down on.

    Appreciate cyberx for sharing, but frankly the dude is too sensitive.

    Often, the supposedly legit info that he hears won't make sense to fans-- either because of opinion and bias on our part or because a trade offer really doesn't make objective sense. It is par for the course on an Internet forum that some people will question some of the things he says.

    The vast majority of people here are complimentary of cyberx. If he can't mentally deal with some disagreement and criticism from a small minority, maybe it is best for him to stay away from these things.

    But then again, he won't stay away because he's threatened to do the same before and always came back. He seems to get too much pleasure out of this-- which is fine, too. Just recognize this is what is happening. No need to freak out every time cyberx acts wounded.

    What a load of crap.
    So someone risking his job to give us some info and facing personal attacks, irony and ungratefulness is too sensitive?
    Maybe the ones who should stay away from a thread named " PAGING CYBERX" are the people who are too dense idiotic and immature to post.

    No one personally attacked him, they attacked the rumored trade as unbelievable given all other information we had at that time. And guess what, the dumbass trade wasn't made!

    Calling someone Ramona Shelbourn is a personal attack in my book. Quite the selective memory you got there.

    Holy crap, we're still talking about the "never criticize an insider" thing?!

    Come on, CF. Get over it. We have an actual game tonight.

    OH THE HORROR

    I'm willing to bet that cyber himself will acknowledge that he got way too defensive yesterday over nothing.

    You post questionable info which seems ludicrous, I and several others are going to question you. It is a message board for a reason. Sensitive people don't belong on the interwebz

    Well it's obviously a personal attack, but it was meant in jest by the poster who did it obviously and it is about as weak an attack as there is.

    And like I said in that thread, people's sense of manners and respect only seems to come in to play on this board when there is something in it for them.

    Step on the toes of a pretty girl poster? White Knights will swarm all over you. Make an incredibly benign joke to an insider? The cybersquad lashes out at you for pages.

    People make fat jokes about a poster who doesn't have any inside info and is a male? No one cares. Posters call a guy a "r****d" for no reason? No one is rushing to his defense.

    As Obama says, get off the high horse.

    I just think cutting Johnson would be a bad move :confused: Capela has shown no sign of progress after what he did in the D League, he's a lost cause IMO

    People don't drink the sand because they're thirsty. They drink the sand because they don't know the difference.:grin:
