To you it looks like piling on. To others it's a well deserved critique.
To each their own but if it bothers you I suggest you block everyone because this **** been going on almost a decade.
I suggest that you re-examine your contention that these comments are just a "well deserved critique." Perhaps you might find that somewhere along the way a line has been crossed. It does bother me, truthfully, but I see no need to block everyone. I realize this is just my opinion, and I hope that a majority feel the same way. It doesn't hurt to take the higher ground, or to be nice to people.
I love a good online fight, and will go 1 on 1 with anyone. Shoot, I'll go 1 on 50 on the GB or some other team's forum. We all know that. What I don't do is go 50 on 1, and yes, this does feel a bit like bullying. This has always felt that that to me, and is part of why I avoid getting into it with him at all. The other part is that he is almost never actually talking about basketball, which is generally why I am here.
I want the best for him, and sure looks to me like the best thing is for him to just stop posting here. Whatever he is dealing with in his life, and we all deal with something, it is obviously not helping his situation to be here. It clearly causes him immense distress, as his 50 ragequits and repeated veiled threats to half the internet display. At the risk of implying that he brings the bullying on himself, you can't just indiscriminately lash out at the entire board all the time and not expect some pushback on that.
So my unsolicited advice to him is to just do something else on this fine Sunday, and to everyone else that he is actually a pretty easy guy to ignore when he isn't taking a massive dump on the biggest thread during the biggest day of the year.
Just my two cents. I'll stop before I get to the dime
