Being falsely accused of being RACIST in the GARM

Still twisting facts and lying about what was said, it's quiet amusing. Someone could paste each post and reply in the right context and tinmac would still lie about what happened and continue to post his "I'm the victim boohoo, he just couldn't deal with facts.".

This thread should be closed so that tinmac isn't able to continue with his hilarious lies and agenda, it's a mockery of forum etiquette and standards.

 

I have been called a racist by Yao fans back in the day for using the term "Chinese posters" to describe what would become the YOF. Remember those days?

In any case, maybe it's worth an introspective look and ask yourself if any of your posts play on stereotypes. They are a sensitive lot from what I can see, but you do also enjoy antagonizing them.

 

I posted one of his quotes in this thread, decide for yourself. Doesn't have to do anything with being sensitive.

 

The great thing is how I even said we shouldn't neccessarily retire his number and my accusation wasn't in reply to tinman or the topic, yet tinmac continues with his little game of lies and defamation.

 

I saw them and did decide - they weren't racist. They played on stereotypes but you get some leeway when you are obviously trying to being comical. Being racist isn't just a choice of words it's the intent behind the words and whether or not it reflects a lesser view of the people being referenced. Making fun of Lin fans as being mad because they ate stinky tofu isn't belittling asians it's just being silly or stupid depending on your sense of humor. So yes, it has everything to do with you guys being way too sensitive.

Regardless, you intentionally antagonize them because you find it fun. You provoke them knowing that they will get all worked up and angry, and you enjoy it. So here are your consequences. Accept it and quit whining about them whining.

 

I think people have a different understanding of what crosses the line and is humor, I'll just leave it at that. I've never been a fan of Lin or of Asian descent, so this never had to do anything with being sensitive. Neither was my remark in the McGrady thread, anyone can look it up and see it was never in response to tinman, but he intentionally twists facts here and tries to fool you people into believing his idiotic narrative.

My whole point was that tinman intentionally provokes people (and sometimes to a very questionable and offensive degree) and derails threads instead of creating insightful discussion.

 

That's fine and all true, but that doesn't make him a racist. I'm not defending what he does - it just annoys me when people throw that word around as it cheapens the real racism that is going on - and there is plenty of that.

The real racism surrounding Jeremy Lin was the opportunities he was denied in his early career because people assumed Asians couldn't ball. Clearly he belongs in the NBA even if he isn't the top tier.

 

Very true and good points, but like I said, many people would say some of his remarks are clearly derrogative and have nothing to do with humor whatsoever.

I didn't even say he is RACIST as he spouts in this thread. I responded to a poster and said that tinman doesn't reply to any constructive posts and plays his broken record, while also throwing in semi-racist and offensive things to offend and rile up a certain group of posters.

It's sad that he's allowed to lie about the whole context and line of events in that thread and some people unfortunately believe his narrative.

 

Add the detail that he made this thread a long time after the events took place and I made dozens of posts after the one remark that were about facts and statistics. I didn't bow down to his senseless posts and tried to make points, then left after he played a broken record and made his usual "TOFs are so silly, blabla" posts.

The guy was pissed that I didn't respond to his posts and then made this thread, it's embarassing and childish behaviour.

 

Maybe people don't care about the narrative.

 

You do understand that this thread wasn't made because of tinman being "racist" right?

He made this thread because he was being a cancer to the board as usual and a number of posters called him out. And instead of being able to say anything about the actual points that were being made against him he made a straw man argument to deflect the actual discussion.

Now people like you are in here months later talking about how honorable tinman is when in reality he's one of the biggest cancers on the Internet in general.

Guess his tactics work.

 

Never seen a person with such a complete and shocking inability to comprehend anything that is said to him.

It is not about McGrady, Harden or Lin. It's about tinman and his whole way of derailing threads, never actually replying to anything said, making the same broken record posts again and again that don't have to do anything with the post they are a reply to, ridiculing people instead of coming up with anything as a property response, acting like a child when being called out, twisting things said. I could go on for days, it has NOTHING to do with McGrady, it's incredible how everything in tinman's world revolves about McGrady, Lin, Clutch City, 99ers. You can tell him 100 times it's not about a certain thing and he'll still beat you to dead with it and reduce the argument to some ****ty debate about McGrady or being a Rockets fan.

Just utterly ridiculous and unbelievable, I don't know how that person can function outside of the internet.

 

Thanks. Like I said, he banks on people not knowing what happened and creates a one-sided narrative full of lies to sway people. It's disgusting.

 

If you have no idea about anything being said, fail to understand the context, and furthermore "don't care" then you should probably keep your uninformed opinion to yourself.

Now I see why ATW calls you the things he does in the D&D! It makes sense :grin:
