were you really suspended for like 2 months ? the hell did you do ?
It was 3 months in the can, not two!
I was suspended for something like 30 days because I posted a comment complaining about buzzardman being suspended during the Pacers playoff series for calling the Pacers “gay”. I think he meant to say Gaycers, but I digress. And I’m not saying that would’ve been okay, okay? I wasn’t saying that buzzardman shouldn’t have been suspended as I wasn’t privy to all the facts. Just that it could be pushed off until after the playoffs. After that, yeah suspend him for the entire summer. I mean, how much can anyone take his incessant negativity and pessimism? Whatever.
So shortly after I came back, someone posted a comment in one thread saying they weren’t sure what thread they should’ve posted it in. So I responded by posting a comment to the effect “Be careful, you might catch a suspension if it’s the wrong one.” I neglected, however, to use the green font. I don’t know if that would’ve made any difference. That’s when JVG suspended me for 3 months.
Here’s his PM to me with his explanation. (I’m posting this for the benefit of all of us peons and peasants who dare to run afoul of The Rules! I don’t want to see anyone else catching an 3-month suspension, especially during the season, for not fully understanding the rules. I mean, if someone like me who’s been a member here for over 20 years can catch an 3-month ban for making a joke, then, well you get the point that management is trying to make here! And the tone was very harsh, I thought. Not nice. Why can’t we be nice to each other?
HarthorneWingo,
You have received a 90-day suspension for derailing, personal attacks, and disruptive behavior. You initially received a 30-day suspension to allow for deliberation and site administration leave, which lapsed before site administration could to return to finalize. Site administration has returned and this 90-day suspension completes the action.
I responded by saying that I really don’t understand what that means and they haven’t responded back. All I said was, don’t post it on the wrong thread. What’s wrong with that? No one will tell me and it’s very frustrating because I don’t want to make another mistake now that the season is starting!!!!!!!!!!
If you understand what this means, then please explain it to me so that I know what’s sanctionable conduct and what’s not.

Both of those teams better than the Knicks.
Just when the Knicks are finally good, they aren't good enough.

The Dubs were surgical they played like they're on a mission this season, and this was only Game 1... if healthy all season they'll be a top 2 team in the West
Yeah I don't know why they would extend JJ... people are high on him, but imo the players aren't really responding to him, outside Smart, Reeves the players including Luka (even with 43 pts) didn't play with much intensity or purpose... they played like in a daze
