    Well, this quote is a good place to start. And you asked for my input the second you posted this on a public forum, though I suppose that basic premise is lost on you as well.

    In chronological order:
    This one deserves bold:

    It starts with you, buddy. Unless you seriously believe that there wasn't anything remotely inflammatory about what you posted, which....well I wouldn't put it past you, "mate."

    I noticed that you had derogatory remarks to make about '99ers. That's amusing, young chap. Why? Because you could easily become a contributing member by making a donation to the Tip Jar, which would help Clutch maintain this BBS. You know, the site you are using to promote yourself. Do so, and some of us might search real hard and find a modicum of respect to toss your way, instead of simply tossing our cookies as a result of reading your effort. Something to ponder.

    That article reminded me of the Holocaust...only more hurtful towards the Jews.

    Well the "article" I could have done without, but the rest of the thread was a great way for me to start the day!

    You guys are acting like I put my heart and soul into the piece, hahaha it's ridiculous how serious and conservative the feedback is. I wrote this because I was bored, not because I believe i'm a journalist or a publisher for christ sake. You guys need to click the little red 'x' on the right hand corner of your page and chill the **** out man. WATCH OUT, THE GREEN SQUARES ARE OUT TO GET ME! Pfff. (Watch this start another tough internet argument) :p

    I think it's great that a guy who doesn't care and was "just bored" is taking the time to respond to all of his readers.

    Lost credibility with me with the suggestion of starting Terence Williams at SF. Unless we are going to have a firesale (which it is clear that we are not), he has not earned a spot in the rotation, much less a starting nod.

    I like Josh Smith but he is not a center and not a SF. At $11m+ salary, he's not worth starting over Patterson.

    I respond because I am fed up with the inappropriate remarks and posts. I am indeed entitled to stand up for what I believe is ethical. With regards to what is being said that is. Believe me, if you posted something out of pure bordem and put little effort within the content and hot shot "contributing members" posted unnecessary comments about the peice, you too would defend your self my friend. I posted to start discussion, however I have seemed to lure jerks into this thread. I have seen several threads where arguments have eventuated. It seems to be a continuous issue. In turn, Clutchfans has a heap of 'monkey see, monkey do' members. One hot shot has a dig at someone and he shortly after has 20 members following his point of view. I am here by ignoring any ignorant posts, regardless of the thread.

    Or maybe, and here's just an idea, your "article" had very little substance and was a waste of everyone's time, further exacerbated by your insistence on defending it with petty insults towards the bbs that you posted it on. After garnering the deserved negative feedback--and obviously not taking it well--you say that you put no effort into something you apparently wrote out of boredom.

    So what kind of feedback were you expecting then? What exactly are you defending? A half-assed, meaningless article doesn't usually make people this defensive. You obviously thought it was good enough to attach your full name to--which I advise a moderator delete, for your own good, given your responses in this thread.

    More or less the reason for your flaming Nathan.
    Do your father a favor, go to the convenience store, in your racecar bed, and pick me up some condoms.

    Dude, stfu. If you would have laughed about your error (it was dumb/funny), then you would've had more people talking about Josh Smith and less about your grammar. The fact that you've gotten so defensive about it and resorted to name calling has only led to more people making fun of you to get a rise out of you.

    Learn to laugh at yourself -- life will be much easier that way. You could've just asked someone how to post pictures instead of calling everyone losers/dorks who know how to.

    See, if you keep disrespecting members that are trying to help you out. Then you're going to get destroyed on this BBS. You still have a chance to turn it all around.

    As for members like Moes. Just ignore him, lol.
