By the way, what is with the all lowercase? Is your shift key broken, are you lazy, or do you think it’s just cool that you use all lowercase letters?

habit from early internet use. also, makes it more difficult for people to steal my content.

No, it makes you look lazy. Who the hell would want to steal anything from you? You don’t say anything insightful or intelligent. I think you just want it to be your “thing”. It’s pretentious, like you.

Everyone and their mother knows about Shaq and Robinson.

I'd like proof it makes the team worse and that you aren't just complaining based off an aesthetic you don't like.

my posts, especially the long ones with research i did, get stolen all the time. from here and other thunder sites today and in the past. usually they would turn up on reddit. my research on and charting of westbrook's defensive rebounds last year is one example.

but like i said, it's mostly a typographic convention i've had for 25+ years.

not the team worse, the defense worse. i'll find it for you. it will be from last season. i'd have to do it all over again for this season.

Why should I care if it makes the defense worse but not the team? That's an aesthetic difference.

So the purpose of someone “stealing” from you would be for what purpose? To give examples of your bitter, Thunder, Westbrook hating rants? Ok, I can see that. I don’t care how long you have suffered from your typographic convention as you put it, it’ still stupid. I have been on the internet for 25+ years too. I suffer from no such ailment.

i can't tell you why you should care about anything. but, i did say it hurts the team defensively. that's what you replied to, therefore that's what i assumed you were asking for proof of. whoops, i bet atomic punk is gonna get on me for ending a sentence with a preposition.

and the defense being worse is an aesthetic difference? ok.

i can't ascribe motive.

in the early 90's i was active in what was called the demoscene, and it was common to type this way. so i did. and i still do. what's it matter? why are we even talking about this?

Nah, the all lowercase thing is still the more egregious transgression.

Because it is so stupid. And because it’s so easy to bait you into nonsense arguments like this.

[Osirus89]

Boy it sure is toxic up in here suddenly. Can we be happy? There is a very good chance we could come away with the 4th seed pending Portland vs Utah.

After the ups and downs of this season, that is pretty remarkable.

what are we arguing about, exactly? you think it's stupid, i'm not arguing that you don't think that, or shouldn't.

i think in some way you look up to me. you're always probing. seeking approval.

Suddenly? Ok. But yeah, I think this team is about to do some damage in the post season. I have actually been on that lonely island all season.

Of course you could tell me why I should care about something.

And yes, a worse defense but not a worse team implies better offense. I think you'd agree that a team with a net rating of +5 is just as good rather they get that with a 95 D rating or 105?

i think i see what you are implying. that even if i could show that westbrook's defensive rebound hunting harms the defense, it's offset by its benefits to the offense?
