Perfect example. Jimmits constant spamming and lack of arguments did him in. We gave him plenty of leeway.

Chanel is not a troll and brought in well thought out arguments. Don’t think he ever even got a warning or ban. He brings great content to the forum that sparks legit debates.

So that’s the difference. A ton of people had bad things to say about RJ and weren’t banned.

KAT vs Randle can def be argued, just doesn’t belong in every single thread. A ton of people bring up Kats flaws which are certainly fair game. People could talk about Thibs flaws, Brunsons flaws, you can talk about Mikals flaws, etc as they are relevant to the games being played.

The Randle talk just spammed too often in too many threads that weren’t even about Randle. A lot of times they weren’t even arguments and just troll bait posts which was the bigger issue. I mean, we even did let a lot of these things go on, but like Icarus flying towards the sun they just took it too far.

I agree Chanel isnt a troll. He is an intelligent poster who "knows ball" but he was harassed and labeled a troll by the same posters here who strongly disagreed with his takes.

And to the point which you brought up i. Your first post being whats the limit and range that is acceptable is the issue here. Cause some posters would let the fck thibs ammo fly and rarely was it met with derision but any randle > kat stuff would send posters.

The problem is a lot of the posters complaining about it did the same sht. As evidence by the lack of self awareness by certain posters in this thread.

And honestly like ICH said this issue really doesn't bother me as much as mods jumping on post with a wall of blue text cause its "derailing".

circling back real quick we're going to argue thibs vs new coach all year and this kat vs randle, gallo vs chandler, ect, ect will live on cause thats whats we do here. We pick sides (except me cause I like to be allusive)

not to be a fed and lord knows i've never reported anyone but the same posters complaining about it, are doing it right now in the knicks coaching search thread.

I don't see anyone derailing that thread and lying about or insulting each other in that thread. When it has gone off course some of us have tried steering he conversation back to the topic. I know I have, perhaps you should provide the example or go ahead and see what happens if you report that behavior. I don't see it.

personally, i'm not really the kind of person to click report or try to get anyone in any ****, never have been.

perhaps there hasn't been lying or insults but i think we can both agree that there's agenda posting in there. there's been plenty of thibs bashing, fck thibs, etc. and those types of posts outside the scope of the knicks coaching search.

I see people putting things in contrast to what the next HC should be. That's context. No one is derailing the discussion for the most part. It's relevant to the discussion to a point. There's a reason Thibs was fired. They are mentioned as to why we need a new HC. It is nothing like what is being discussed here. It isn't spamming the thread either. Good thing you don't report people for not doing anything wrong,

well.. the worst is yet to come. "they" hated the KAT trade and player from the first second and then claimed they were right when he led us to our best season in 25 years while being named All Star and All NBA. Just imagine his play drops just a little bit

It’s unfortunate because it undermines the foundations of this message board. This is not about basketball anymore, so they’ve basically ruined it. I’ve said it before, it is beyond repair imo. The Towns trade was obviously great for us, we know now that the Bridges trade was market value, Randle has proven himself to still be the same bum he was with us and now we said, “no thanks, we don’t want Durant at all”, while they wanted to give them towns for him the problem has always been the audacity and tone despite obviously being wrong. And you know, Durant is certainly an incredible player and this Houston team, to me at least, looks like a very serious contender, but the Knicks were obviously right for collecting and now sticking with our core.

The audacity... you call randle a bum, who helped lead his team to the WCF and then have the unmitigated gall to act like the paragon of posters. And act like others who post like YOU do are the problem.

To be real clear idgaf that you call Randle a bum or that you want to talk a lil sht for hating on the mikal trade but to whine about the quality of the board when YOU are apart of this "mess" is what is truly absurd.

Would it help you if I called him lackadaisical or unreliable instead? I won’t lie here just to make it sound more digestible and I thought this was the anything goes thread. I hardly ever come here anyway. For twenty years I was never a part of any problem this board has had until I was right on the KAT trade (and consequently, how Randle was overrated here) and then the Bridges trade too. Considering the delivery and how I was made fun of, I do feel I should be allowed to point out when some very provocative **** talking throughout the year has not aged well for some very loud voices. The Durant for Towns nonsense is only the latest episode. But I’ll gladly leave this terrible place again or even realgm for good.

Let me tell you though that when everybody did the chatGPT summaries, mine stressed my readiness to acknowledge when I was wrong. I didn’t bother to post it then because I didn’t want to trigger anybody. Yet, since I’ll readily eat my share of crow, I can’t respect posters who won’t.

Well, you called me names, my friend, and you weren’t even right then or at any other point this season actually. So I’m not going to simply let that pass. That is the entire story. I’m not going to start this again though. I’m out.

I clearly said idgaf what you call Randle. I take umbrage with the fact you expect others to move differently than you do or you wanna call others out for moving the same way you do. In here pounding your chest cause you are okay with giving up 5 picks for a good role player.

And the bolded part could correctly be said in the same vein with KAT. Especially on the defensive end. So its cool we just use YOUR choice in words and call him a bum too, eh? Since you want to raise the standard of posting on this forum. Make this place a proper respectable forum to discuss hoops and all.

Now you’re reaching (and that’s part of the problem.) The man was an all star and All-NBA player. Meanwhile, Randle… I was simply not wrong and I was retaliating. Someone had taken it too far. That’s the last you’ll hear from me on this.

so he can't be bad on defense because of this ? you realize randle is a multi time all-star and all nba player too, right ?

Again...not the same thing. Do you bro. I am enjoying the board the way it is now. Too bad others can't handle it. It's certainly an improvement. It doesn't matter who did what or when prior to the new rules. Here we are. It's for the better. Don't try to inflate things on that level because you don't like what's being said. This is your safe space. Be dicks to one another all you want in here within reason. The rest of the board is for adult discussion. I'm pretty sure that's the gist of things. I commend the mods for finally stepping up. It was long overdue. I was involved in the shyt show. I speak from experience.

No more replies please. I've been in here for longer than I want I be. Just call me a dick behind my back and have good toss off with each other.

lol @ standing here on your ivory tower preaching to me about being an adult then proceeding to say no more replies please, truly special behavior

if the line of thought is: we fired thibs for a reason so discussing thibs weaknesses in relation to his replacement should be allowed, then why doesn't that apply to RJ in any thread that potentially discusses his replacement? it's the same thing

We really need to reinstate the suspended/banned tags instead of just blindly abducting posters.
