My night's complete. I had my basketball fandom questioned on another page.

I was also told that "even" the Warriors announcers said that was the best transition defense the Kings have played all year. Like I believe their announcers watch all the Kings games and have no agenda in making it sound like Klay went off against great defense.
Who questioned your fandom?



Let me at 'em.
 
I can make part of it happen right now. Just say the word.
If it makes you feel better go for it. You should know by now this forum has an overall tone problem and this forum has developed a credibility problem. The constant message here from the "key players" doesn't necessarily reflect the much larger percentage of the fan base. Look I don't like the state of the team either or the horrible decision to fire Mike Malone. The front office is a disaster right now and how they handled the Malone firing and seemingly every move since has been a mess.

However even though I agree with majority here on the Malone firing and PDA/Vivek's false vision it doesn't mean I'm going to join in on the hate rally every time. I have the right to have my own opinion and that's what seems to be the problem here. If you make a post for example that is out of the status-quo from what the chosen 5 or 6 people are into, you get attacked by them and especially their minions and told to go away. I'm not even allowed to acknowledge without being chided that Klay Thompson had an extraordinary performance. I'm told from Mods (not you) that what he did was nothing special. The mods spent months on end trashing one player (IT) but if you say anything bad about one of their favorite players you end up on thin-ice real quick.

Discussion only seems to be welcomed here provided it's exactly what the same handful of people want to hear (and what they want to hear is the same thing they are saying).

Long story short, I don't care anymore. Ban me, it would be better for both of us at this point. Just know that for every guy like me that you ban or alienate from the forum that's one less poster that actually encourages some general debate or discussion and not just endless threads of people united in the same tired subjects over and over.
 
What's interesting is I just found out both Leslie and Vivek have blocked me.

I've never sworn or insulted them, just told em the truth. I guess they're fed up with fans stating discontent? Deciding to block it out I see. That'll work.

What's your twitter? Wasn't blocked by Vivek yet but I assume it's just a matter of time.
 
Sadly, I was blocked by Leslie tonight so I missed out on the Warriors enthusiasm.
as was I. all i said was "You know why" in response to her "WHY vs. Kings, WHY?" tweet.


she also went at Marcos Breton and gave him some subtle threat by saying "Noted" when he confirmed that he works with the Bee and writes his own tweets.....

FYI - Leslie manages Vivek's public account. He has another private Twitter account known only to the chosen few. Leslie went on a block rampage tonight. I don't follow her so I think I'll be safe. Of course, maybe it's a badge of honor to be blocked by the great Warriors fan...

I'm pretty sure she has some issues. She can be slightly rational at times and then goes off. But I know she's very proud of herself for her blocked accounts tonight.

Vivek still follows me so it shows how much he really checks his Twitter. i'm sure Leslie will log onto it soon and block me from that account too

My take is why bother following her in the first place? I hope she does try to start something against the Bee. Better people than her have tried...

I was kind of proud. Honestly, I never used offensive language or personal attacks and if as a PR pro, you can't handle negative feedback at this time, you may not be cut out for the job.

As I said, that's not really Vivek. It's Leslie doing her PR duty. She reads the stuff and replies when required, and puts out the public service type messages.

I was following her for the entertainment. Most of the PR pro's I know have some semblance of professionalism (at least from a self preservation perspective) and she can be such a trainwreck that it was enjoyable to watch. So little substance there that being blocked doesn't matter but it was fun to watch for a little while.

same reason as sdballer. i found her hilarious. so out of touch with reality when it comes to Sacramento and the Kings, it was kind of funny
 
Hey, don't bust Klay's dream like that! He can do anything he puts his mind to! ;)
True and as he said he just realized one dream so maybe he can move onto another. He's going to need to get a larger ego though to fit in as a mod.

Seriously though, it would appear that I am on my way out of here just wanted to let you know that I highly respect you and your posts. You are one of the "key players" and mods here that I think is truly open-minded and looks at things for what they are as opposed to tying the same tired message to every one of your posts. When I see a long post from Capt. Fictorial I know that it's going to be well thought out and well informed but most importantly I don't know exactly what it's going to say ahead of time. That means it's actually worth reading and good chance I'm going to learn something or look at something from a different perspective. Sadly those posts are not being made from enough people here.

Also thank you for being on the panel that interviewed PDA at the KHTK Morning Show. Appreciate that you represented the fans and went in there to help get some answers(even though PDA essentially weaseled his way through the interview and gave us none).

I can actually agree with this. In this truly challenging time, I've come to appreciate the different perspectives that people like Capt and TheJamal bring to the table. Rarely agree with them but a lot of respect for their different understanding of the game.

Has anyone checked the air pressure in that basketball?? It looks like Klay was playing with a deflated ball which made it easier to shoot...
I think somebody should check the rim. It was obviously about the same diameter for him as an average kid's wading pool.

I think Capt. Fictorial and FunkyKingston were probably the two best choices they could have sent to the consortium. Both those guys even though they often have different opinions are humble reasonable people with well thought out opinions. Was a shame the radio thing was more of a smoke-and-mirrors session from PDA where he never really answered most questions directly because I think in less "produced" segment where PDA actually had to answer the questions (and not weasel out) they could have got a lot out of him.

Ok now we can go back to our regularly scheduled argument already in progress.

You're a regularly scheduled argument
