damn i remember internet relay chat.......that was like 10 years ago. Those were the days attempting to download mp3s in those stupid chatrooms. In any case let the fight continue.
To Dakota's defense i have never seen anyone on this forum take more ridicule and belittling than dakota. You can make an argument that he brings that upon himself but nonetheless sometimes in my opinion it goes overboard. When people start making fun of his appearance and even family i think you have crossed the line.
Please don't EVER tell me what "I know" or what "I wanted" or that your interpretation of either of those things is "the truth". It is blatantly disrespectful and further cheapens your already-suspect reputation in this community. Read my freaking apology again, man. Besides apologizing for throwing you under the bus--which was a HEAT OF THE MOMENT thing and in no way was premeditated with the calculation of which you accuse me, I also apologized to everyone else on the BBS for what seemed like a prima donna attitude of wanting that attention. I did not. I CALLED MYSELF OUT ON IT as that seeming like what I was doing, but sincerely refuted any such desire to have that impact. You read a lot of my posts, DD. But you don't know me. You just don't. So STFU about telling me what's going on in my head and what my personal motivations are. And while I did wrong you--and thus you were owed an apology for that wrong--in retrospect, I really regret giving it. If you accepted the apology, MOVE ON. If you do not, then say so. Don't repeatedly acknowledge the apology, thank me for it, then continue to bring up the one post that I apologized for writing, time and time again. It's cheap, dirty and only gives more ammunition for your critics to (rightfully) call you out for your behavior.
You don't know me either Bima, but what you do know is that you could take time to tweet an apology - which no one on the board could see - or barely anyone. Then you apologized - which was appreciated - but was WAY late, if you had time to tweet, you had time to post. You are correct, I don't know you, but I do understand people's intentions - and the way all of that went down seems pretty dubious to me - you can read it in the thread as well, others also thought it was a pretty dramatic exit, etc. So, yeah, I am still pissed off that you had time to tweet back and forth, but did not have time to come back to the board and take the 20 seconds to post a quick apology. Because to me, it looked pretty damned intentional - and still does. I am just sick and tired of the lack of respect - and am not holding back. You ask me to move on, that is fair enough - I will, but now at least you know how it looks to me - and while your intentions may not have been that - it sure seems like a man of your intellect would have been completely aware of the ramifications of your actions. Either way, I respect you enough to move on, but am happy to get that off my chest. DD
wait...so you're telling me that everyone is just now realizing that DD is a narcissist who makes ridiculous claims with little merit and/or logic to support it yet continues to talk in circles whilst patting himself on the back? ..excuse me for a second... Spoiler
Wtf? Are DD and Bimathug re-doing a previous argument? I swear I have read DD's post before. Are they seriously warring over the same thing again? Damn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85V1Xewv20k I wish I could post the actual quick link to this clip -- Fits DaDakota perfectly. Right????? You are so eager to move - but you continue to bring up the same items over and over and over. Damn, I know I do not post here as much as the rest of the group - but man, post something about the Rockets and stop padding your post. Give me another 10yrs and I may post my 1000 post. I know it isn't anywhere close to your standards, but some of us have a life outside of posting BS on every single tread posted. Hmmm -- If I remember the story correctly :grin:, don't you need to earn the respect first?
Who gives a crap about the number of posts one has? You don't get a badge or medal for having a high post count - I don't even know how many I have nor keep up with it, unless someone brings it up. You should automatically respect others - until they no longer earn it. Clearly, I have crossed that line with several senior people on here - which sucks honestly. But, if people are going to attack me, why the hell should I hold back? DD
If you really loved the Rockets, you'd join a Mavs forum and invade them with your Rocket talk videos.
Please, DD. People do not show you respect when you do not act in a manner that deserves any respect. Making baseless accusations and conspiracy theories about people shilling for the Rockets is one way that make people lose respect for your integrity and intelligence. Consistently talking up your pet players (including Brooks, Hill and Thabeet) and whining about the team not playing them more will make people treat your opinion as a joke. Making repetitive posts tangential to threads in order to defend your ridiculous opinions and whine about perceived wrongs will make people find you annoying. So, don't like you are somehow getting martyred for no good reason.
Sometimes DD... You just have to walk away... I'm not implying leaving the board, but you're putting up a fight and no one is paying attention. Personally... I would let it go.
