Does that sound like a girl? Sent tannersearle an e-mail yesterday revealing my e-mail address (because I was interested in hearing about the Yonsei summer program), but no reply. The only thing that has happened is that I am now receiving spam mails to that e-mail address, which had never happened before. Not sure whether this is related.

I didn't intend for all this intention. I've only posted a little more, a little less than 30 posts on this website, but I figured it was that long, honest rant about Yao Ming's aggressiveness that brought in the collective microscope. But I also didn't ask Laughdog to translate and post it elsewhere (though I don't mind that he did). Anyway, I'll admit that back at the Yao Ming Manic website, I was a little bit of irritant, and deliberately so. Some of it unwarranted, some if I felt to be very much deserved on the part of a lot of users there. I just grew annoyed, to the point of being hateful, by how homogenous it was, and, how, in turn, that homogenity turned on someone if they had different opinions, or if they were of a different National or Cultural or Political make-up. Most of the people there are die-hard Yao fans, and I participated because I'm a basketball fan, first, and a Yao fan second, but I didn't worship the guy, just like I don't worship other athletes. But I just didn't like how everyone ripped on Rudy T, ripped on Assistant Coach Larry, ripped on anyone and everyone they thought to be responsible for whenever Yao played poorly in a game. Every once in a while, comments bled into the extremely racial, and even in the non-Yao/non basketball post, there were so many angry rants about political things. Some of them were justifiably angry, but almost all of them went over the line and lashed out against white people, which other non-Asian/non-Chinese users (a very small minority), really didn't like. Everything was extremely subjective, and people tend to seriously dislike anyone who disagrees. I'm not about to say that Clutch City is perfect, though I haven't been here long enough to know, but I'm sure it isn't. Nevertheless, I found a lot of people there to be hypocritically intolerant of others who come from a different background. So many of them (not all, but a lot) preach to the choir about how they're treated unfairly, but will then in turn bash a player and then go over the line by adding a racial remark about black people or white people--and then whenever someone (usually a non-Asian user) said that that wasn't right, the defensive measure taken was that it was there site and that it was high-time they had their own space to say whatever they want. As frustrating as that is, I can't argue with that. The site belongs to them, and if you don't worship someone, you shouldn't be part of the site. I probably didn't help by trying to get under their skin my last few days there. I knew I wasn't going to come back to the site, so I posted some gag-threads because . . . well, just because I could. If people really want to follow me all the way over here just so they can post whenever I post and insult me, that's their peragotive. I don't like it, but what can I do? Anyways, I don't want to talk about that site again, and I don't want to talk about "me" again, so I'll duck out of here and keep to the basketball-Rocket-only threads. But thanks to Clutch for the hearty welcome wagon!
That's hilarious dude. Good thing you didn't give away your home address, otherwise you'll be receiving subscriptions for Better Housekeeping and Jet magazine.
Alright, I just checked TS78's site. I'm very impressed. However, there is no way she is for real. A hot chick that has excellent hoops knowledge does not exist. This is right up there with the Easter Bunny.
Ok so u are saying that the mostly Asian fans at the other site made remarks about whites and blacks and whatever. Of course that is not right, but what about when non Asians make fun of or make remarks about Asians? LIke Shaq WHEN he made those comments about Yao or those idiots on the "best damn sport show", what are your feelings about that? it goes both ways. It seems that u are saying that its ok for one group to say something , but not when another group says the samething. Please correct me if I am wrong in my assumption. And yes that other site belongs to Yao fans and they can worship him if they want. If you want to go in there and bash YAO than you gotta be prepared for a good ripping.
Of course, I'm not saying it's okay for Asians to be ripped. I'm part Asian after all, but that's besides the point. Discussions about, for example, Shaq's comment last year was fine, but what I'm talking about is a random comment about, let's say Francis, that's racial--which I didn't like. Or how when I offered an honest civil, differing opinion on something (non-basketball and basketball things), and people writing back, "Stupid white girl!" ESPECIALLY when it was a debate about something racial. No matter what my mixed ethnic background is, I was always the dumb white girl. And, secondly, I never bashed Yao over there. I enjoy watching him play and do consider myself a fan, though not a Yao-Only fan. Whenever I honestly made legitimate critiques of his game, people wrote back horrible things or "Stupid white girl." I'm not trying to bash that site. Afterall, it's a great place to get Rockets articles and quotes, and there are a lot fine people there. I just couldn't handle posting something, and then having every single member fight me.
I was once a Yahoo chat veteran. There it's like a kaleidoscope of mischaracters - she-males, perverts and girls posting fake pictures glore. So I tend to take these internet things lightly, and it's not important as long as the take on the things is good.
not entirely true. a real good girl-friend of mine is a huge basketball fan and she quite attractive. unfortunately, she's a mavs fan, but that makes it more fun. although she's not quite as knowledgeable as this tanner poster. but yes, finding really hot girls that love sports and could actually hold a decent conversation w/ guys like us is definately a harder find.
I don't get why guys can';t believe that, yes, girls watch sports. Lots of girls play basketball. go watch a high-school girl's bb game. I don't want to be stingy, but I want to point out that I never posted pics of myself on this particular site, nor did I cut and paste a link to it. The AA site I created is for the friends I have on AA. Anyways, I apologize for hijacking this thread. Back to the topic at hand.
