    So saying Lin is terrible is not about Lin?

    Yes, and mostly no in the context of this thread.

    This is just my sense of all of these Lin threads post-"trade". Others may feel differently.

    A comment (positive or negative) about Lin has some truth that the poster feels is supportive of their POV on Lin, the player. Mostly, it's about sticking it to LOF on one side, and to the "haters" on the other side.

    When you have guys like colt45nyc claiming to have done tinman's mother behind a taco stand, there's no basketball discussion in that whatsoever. Or class.

    I think a lot of Lin fan attackers, are attacking Lin to get to Lin fans. They don't necessarily have any personal issues with Lin, but with personal issues with his fans. LOL. When I say a lot of these attackers, I mean anyone but a handful posters such as Tinman, Zboy etc...They plainly just hate Lin, obsessively.

    So instead of defending Lin, you have a guy picking on Tinman by claiming sexual relations with his mom?

    So you are taking colt45nyc's behavior and extrapolating it to all of us Lin fans? Doesn't seem fair, actually...

    I am married. I would not claim to have sexual relations with anyone other than my wife.

    "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

    So let me go back through the thread and count how many Lin fans condemned his post.

    Now it is ok for people to hate on Lin. This is a free board, people can post whatever. I do not agree with what they say, but I am ok with them saying what they want to say. Just as many Lin fans making ridiculous comments. I do not agree with them, but I'm ok with them saying it.

    As Tinman & Co acting like crusaders/trolls whatever you feel to call them, there are Lin trolls out there.

    Personal insults should not be here though. Don't equate that stuff to what I commented.

    Maybe you're no Tricky Dick, but for dang sure, colt45nyc has posted some aggressively misogynistic stuff.

    So we have to condemn his posts in order to not be extrapolated to? That hardly seems fair.

    I have been called an insect, a zombie, a virus, and many other things that many would consider hateful and insulting. Doesn't mean I will lump all people who have not condemned those comments together.

    I'm pointedly calling out colt45nyc.

    My reply to you about counting condemnations was sarcasm, so I'll take that back.

    I'm not ok with fake ass Rockets fans on the best Rockets board on the planet

    As I mentioned before, they can't exist on a board of only lin fans, because viruses can't infect other viruses, they would have no purpose

    The worst thing someone could be called is a Lin Only Fan.
    That's worse than the smell of a Taco Bell bathroom.
