    I have probably read silly dream/nightmare puns about a million times in print and, frankly, I'm sick of reading them anymore. Can't anyone come up with something more original? Or is my dream over before it began?

    If I was an Admin, you would be awoken from your dream and told this is in the wrong forum.

    Sorry Mango,

    Don't mean any harm. Please tell me where should I direct this sort of question?

    ZRB,

    It seems likely that the trade deadline will pass without the Rockets making any major deals(read: Dream). The team is playing well and is mounting a playoff push.

    The turmoil of the past few weeks about Dream staying or going has died down. Considering your involvement in the epic Dream threads, why do you want to go through that again?

    Also, the thread starter did not specify that they wished to talk about Dream of the Rockets or just dreams and nighmares in general.


    Mango

    ps You should know by now that I rarely lighten up.

    Mango,

    That is laughable. Next time I'll say Hakeem. But you must be dense, sorry for being so rude, to not know who I was talking about, and for your information, my name is Kevin or kbm not the "thread starter."

    Whatever mango. Dont be so anal about everything.

    Your not an admin, so its not your job to set people straight if they make a mistake.

    If you care that much about it, why dont you ask clutch if you can be an admin. you're a long time poster and your dedication to being anal would get you in no sweat.

    ------------------
    The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?

    It is usually capitalized when it is in regard to the player.

    Dream

    Your usage was not capitalized and your thread title was most definitely unclear as to its focus/theme.

    Oh I most certainly would not like to go through that. I think the poster was just commenting on the repetitive Dream/Nightmare puns. "The Dream is a nightmare". "I have a Dream". "The Dream is over". "Awakening from the Dream". They are starting to get a bit unoriginal. Believe me, I would hate to get into another Dream bashing debate. Of course, it isn't going to happen judging by his play the last four games.

    Still Mango, I just don't understand why you care so much about propper forums etc. If the administraters don't care, why should you? Is it that much of a hastle to click the "back" button if you dislike a thread?

    Thanks for the English lesson Mango. But really that is not necessary, because I could also state the same thing about your post. For example, you don't have anything in your post that tells me what "It" stands for, but I assume you mean the first letter of a player's name is usually capitalized when it is in regard to the player. Or you could mean just the word dream itself should be capitalized?

    ZRB,

    I have had similar discussions in the past about this very issue. Just as many relish the idea of anything goes because this is the Internet, I enjoy a structured environment in which everything is driven to eficiency.

    Clicking on the back button means that I came across something that failed to meet my expectations as far as topic or quality of post. Wasting time is not for me.

    Furthermore Mango,

    I have offered to post this question in another place, and I have asked you once where should I post, but you seem unwilling to give me an answer. What gives? You want people to post in the right forum, but when someone asks you what that forum might be, you don't answer.

    Kevin,

    My misunderstanding was that you wanted to talk about dream and nightmare puns rather than Dream puns. Now that it has been clarified, this is likely the right forum.

    Good night.

    One of these days somebody is going to get ahold of Mango's mailing address and send him a nice mail bomb in order to settle an old score.

    Keep pissin' them off Mang.

    At the risk of sounding anal, I for one am glad that there is some policing of the forums, by admin or otherwise.

    I don't remember who said that the admins don't care if threads get started in the wrong forum... What are you basing that on?

    I bet they care, but they either don't want to look like assholes, like you guys are making Mango out to be, or they just sit back and let Mango work his magic.

    One of the reasons this site is the best is because it is closely monitered by people who give a ****... unlike other crappy posting forums like ESPN.
