    I still don't understand the whole idea of that thread. They made a thread and told people not to post in it just to see who would so they could ban them? Not sure where to rank that whole idea on the maturity scale.

    This forum aint nothing compared to the Stadium during the season or the Tailgate.

    IMO people on this forum are a little conceited and it irks people the wrong way. (not me of course... )

    Good timing dude. Very appropriate. Thanks for lending a hand to make things better.
    What is wrong with it, you are trying to convince everyone that AB is the next KG which is ludricrous, KG averaged 17 and 8 his second year, AB is averaging 3 and 4 there is a difference.

    The kid good might be good, but he is not going to be KG. You forget we had another 7 footer with so much promise and nothing happened.

    Lets wait till he has some back to back double-doubles.

    What's there to understand? It was a joke that I started on a whim. Figured it'd get a couple laughs for a day or two, then fade away and be forgotten. I never EVER expected all sorts of people to post there--certainly not once the "ban" got to be for more than a day or two.

    Istead, it turned into something of a phenomenon and took on a life of its own. So I left it there, becuase for every 10 PM's I got about it, 8 of them were about how it was one of the funniest most unique things they'd ever seen on a message board and please don't take it down.

    So, at this point, it's kind of a social experiment. The poison apple on the tree in the garden, if you pardon the allusion. Seems to me most people would be able to see it for what it was and have no problem ignoring it. And as far as those that don't ... well, that's on them, isn't it?

    As to people immediately petitioning to be reinstated after publicly committing "suicide," I keep thinking about people who do it in real life. Kind of takes the meaning out of it if you get a mulligan.

    Just sayin'.

    *

    As to this forum ... like any other forum, when it grows, it changes, both good and bad. It's up to the membership as much as it is the mods to try to police it and moderate it. Not by insulting or calling each other out, but by even-handed reminders of the rules and liberal use of the "report this post" function.

    We're not going to close the forum unless it gets just TOTALLY out of hand, but if it gets to where we're in here everyday playing kindergarden cop , it is going to force us to get more proactive. And as most of you probably know, you won't like us when we're proactive.

    Well if people could read then it wouldn't matter. I don't understand why people can not read anymore is that hard?? The mods said this is a thread to test a hypothesis they had, and it was true.

    I think its the coolest thing I've ever seen on a message board personally.

    Holy moly. I never go to the Tailgate so I never saw that thread. Basically..

    "Tarpit here. Leap in at your own peril." What a trip that so many leapt.

    I see your point, but be that as it may... why would you post in that thread? I mean obviously you would have to know what was going to happen...

    I mean when I was reading through that thread I was ASTONISHED at not only how many people took the plunge, but in the way they did it too... I mean some of those posts really sounded like suicide letters... very creepy.

    The two or three people who posted in that thread prior to 2k were allowed back in and they were supposed to be banned permanently as well. I'm sure that was between them and the mods

    I learned to get along with him but I still was not big on the idea of a Heat fan hanging around here so he could tell us what's wrong with our team. Anyone who follows the rules has the right to be here so I suppose nothing could be done about it.... until he posted in that thread.

    I got along with him better towards the end, but i still got into it with him. He was basically a mini-troll. I did respect his basketball opinion but he was just so annoying at times
