I have re-read the thread, you made some points, and he countered them, but then you gave up on the discussion and responded with a flippant remark concerning Kobe Bryant. That was a very troll-like thing to do. ------------------ Charles Barkely on the Raptors defeating the Knicks in Round 1 :"I think it was the Lord. The Lord was with the Raptors. You know the Knicks like to talk so much about religion, but I think the Lord was a Raptor fan."
so now im banned from using some sarcasm??? has this become a communist forum now? the fact is, he started the whole insulting thing ok, you cant deny it. ------------------
You aren't banned from anything, I don't have that kind of authority. Secondly, "Communist! I'm being oppressed" is practically the troll battle cry. You can post anyway you like, including using sarcasm, there is one poster here whose entire litany of posts is based on sarcasm. But in this case, the poster in question had made a good point about the SAR discussion earlier in the year in which we nearly got Rahim for a couple guys from our bench and a few draft picks. You responded with a post that trivialized that point w/o making a good point in return. You could have pointed out that the situation was different than it was at mid-season, that the Grizz may not be interested in Cato anymore or Anderson might not be a tradeable commodity - but you didn't, you made a flippant, sarcastic remark that added nothing to the conversation and instead just derailed things. That was troll-like. ------------------ Charles Barkely on the Raptors defeating the Knicks in Round 1 :"I think it was the Lord. The Lord was with the Raptors. You know the Knicks like to talk so much about religion, but I think the Lord was a Raptor fan."
let's not talk about what i should've done, let's talk about what i really did. i simply made a sarcastic remark about kobe coming to houston, and then he called me a troll. you cant stick up for him anymore ok, he clearly started this whole name-calling thing. i, however, am not offended in anyway by name calling, unlike some of you people in here. so who are the real "kids" in this forum? i rest my case. ------------------
He called you a troll, because the sarcastic remark about Bryant was troll-like. Insulting, but relatively accurate. You made a trollish comment and the thread went downhill from there. ------------------ Charles Barkely on the Raptors defeating the Knicks in Round 1 :"I think it was the Lord. The Lord was with the Raptors. You know the Knicks like to talk so much about religion, but I think the Lord was a Raptor fan."
exactly. he called me a troll. was my sarcastic remark insulting? i dont believe so. dont try to justify him calling me a troll because it was in no way right. i didnt insult him first. ------------------
You didn't take his point seriously, instead offering a sarcastic remark. That was troll-like. If you are insulted by being called a troll, do not act like one. ------------------ Charles Barkely on the Raptors defeating the Knicks in Round 1 :"I think it was the Lord. The Lord was with the Raptors. You know the Knicks like to talk so much about religion, but I think the Lord was a Raptor fan."
i took his points seriously, and simply said that SAR wasnt coming and said some sarcasm. i couldnt care less by being called a troll. you're acting like i started the whole thing, when in reality he did. ------------------
That still doesn't justify you acting like a child and calling half of the people that post here losers. Also the whole "well he started it" argument sounds really lame. If you have a problem with a dude calling you a name then take it to that dude, explain to him why he's wrong about our chances of getting SAR, but just saying "you guys are all morons" doesn't help make your point. It just makes you look like an ass. Quit acting like a victim to us communists. ------------------ Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here...

Hey guys- This is my first post, and I must say that RocketKid is totally NOT at fault here. Is there anything wrong with using a little sarcasm? You guys got mad because of a little sarcasm. I am a lawyer with 18 years experience, and RocketKid won this debate by a mile. He justified himself completely. Yes, he may have used some insulting words, but he wasn't the only one. ------------------
Rocketkid's a lawyer huh? HAHA ------------------ Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here...

I am not surprised that he agrees with you. Clinton is/was a lawyer. What does a law degree have to do with displaying good judgement on various matters? Mango ------------------ Get it right or just don't do it! Resistance is futile....you will be assimilated. Start more Webber threads!
Do you remember typing the word idiot on about the 22nd post on this thread? Maybe you should reveiw it since it was before I ever refered to you as a troll. A troll is someone that enters a thread with the intent of taking the discussion compleatly off topic. I think that defines what you are doing here. So if the shoe fits... ------------------
I guess Crash is right in calling you a troll. ------------------ Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here...
if you can call me a troll, why can't i call him an idiot? you're totally contradicting yourselves. you've lost this whole thing so bad. adios. ------------------
