Your concerns are noted, but the majority of the work we do is behind the scene's.....there is no need to pass judgment on how good or bad a MOD is based on your limited time here and exposure to the board and us.
Why not just discuss basketball in a non confrontational way.....that is why we are here isn't it?
I wish I could! Have you EVER read some of the posts by Dagger??? EVER? that guy is the most confrontational poster out there. Never gets suspended hell never even gets a warning!
This is how Little Ozzy responds to a personal insult direct to me
I looked into the personal attack but what Dagger wrote was no worse than "wow I give up, you guys are just new to the game I guess.."
So if you can dish it you'll need to to take it too... Or would you prefer I give you both a warning?
How is suggesting someone is new to the game equally insulting as someone calling me a dumb as a brick or a joke? If you can answer that I will leave it alone? How many warnings has Dagger received since he's become a member? Here's some more of his insults in a thread he was already warned in
Again, that's (Please Use More Appropriate Word). Of course they had a better game, they were two of the very best players available in the best draft in past decade. They would all have been number one overall picks in 2006. Chris Kaman might have been the #1 overall pick in 2006. Really, don't you have something more insightful to add here.
Here's an example of backseat modding with no recourse
Tell you modsters that maybe we need a max of one new Bargnani thread every week unless it is based on something new. Nobody has added anything new to this debate since the players' last media briefing on April 16.
LOOK at how he attacks this poster!
Time for Change wrote:The funny thing is even most of Bargnani's detractors on this thread are overrating him. He's not the 2nd best player on the team, not even close. Just because he was given enough shots to score 17ppg (he only took 15 less shots than Bosh this year) does not make him the 2nd best. As Shazzam and supersub have pointed out he is a net LIABILITY, and a big one. Think of it this way, if Bargs had 82 DNP-CDs this year, the Raptors would be in the playoffs right now.
The only reason to play a liability is because you think playing time will help him develop into an asset for the long term good of the team, or you're tanking. The Raptors have been developing him for four seasons, and he's still a liability. At least last season he showed good progress during the season. This season he showed no improvement and he even regressed again, compared to last years post-All-Star performance.
I agree. Time for Change is spreading an unmitigated load of crap. Yes, let's take 18 ppg on 47% shooting out of the lineup and plug in Rasho or Patrick O'Bryant. Isn't that the obvious solution. If Bargnani is that bad, by definition these twits are suggesting any old substitute would make us a playoff team.
Rubbish. Absolute rubbish.
And if someone actually believes our second best player is Sonny Weems or Jarrett Jack, they are mentally challenged. Some people eagerly look beyond all of Bargnani's positives to focus only on the negatives to reach conclusions. It's some wierd form of tribalism. The need to be part of Harry's Tribe.

He almost NEVER gets a public warning it just goes to support my argument that the Toronto Mods have a double standard, they allow older posters to get away with murder while the newer posters get waived for attacking posters who attack them.
Oddly enough I can't reference the thread I'm talking about because not only has it been locked but now it doesn't even Exist!!! wow!
