I'm just going to continue quoting you to see how long your rant lasts. It's highly amusing to me.

Wrong about what?
Who told you to jump into this exchange and telling people not to respond? The ****? How about don't quote me? Then I won't have to read your bull. You punk ass loser. Who the **** even says "be gone foe. I dismiss you now."
You still talking? Why? The exchange was him quoting us dumb ass. STFU and go the fuq away now. Is that better? Fuq off. I'm done with you now. Coming at me for saying Boolius? WTF? He wasn't great last year. A bunch of us knew it and called it. He was resting through high usage on a bad team. Now his game is exposed and he is what many of us thought he was. It isn't about being right. It just IS right. He's not a jet player that you pay big money and build around. The FO did that and it was a BIG FUGGIN MISTAKE! YOU drank the same Kool aid apparently. Take the L and leave me alone now. I have dismissed you twice now. It's over bruh.
Lol "wah wah wah wah im right dismiss foe two times"
Stop quoting me, dork

didn’t miss the point at all, you must’ve missed when randle told the fans to f off and still to this day hasn’t apologized
I didn't say you didn't read everything. But thanks for letting me know you read everything and still missed the point.

Good point. But I'm at least having a conversation with people here who are clearly incels. You guys aren't exchanging msgs with Randle.
Like look at that Greek dude.

Can't make this up.

Instead of just being a fan of a team - hoping they win and feeling down when they lose - it now becomes a game of who was right and who was wrong? Who correctly predicted one outcome versus another? Who was ahead of the curve on which draft prospect, and who was for or against which trade or free agent signing?
We start arguing amongst ourselves, and we voice our displeasure so loudly on every platform without realizing or caring about the effect thousands of fans doing the same thing in unison can have on the players and the team. We feed off each other's negative energy, and it creates a massive wave of criticism and doubt across the internet that eventually reaches the players, and sometimes damages their mental health and ultimately the quality of their play. Guys like Julius grow to resent the fans, especially in such an intense market like New York...and where does that get us?
Think about it- back in the 80s and 90s, if Patrick Ewing had given a thumbs down to the fans and told them to F themselves, it would certainly be on the back page. There would be a lot of chatter about it amongst the media and the fans would be offended. They may boo him for a while, or just until the team began rattling off wins. Die hards would be talking about it with their friends on the phone or in person, but it wouldn't take over their emotions. Ultimately, life would go on, and I don't believe it would take on a life of its own the way this Randle stuff has.
It sounds cliche at this point, but I think we all need to take a step back and realize this is just a game. Realize this high-tech culture we live in is manipulating our reality and our perception of things, and try to fight it a little in the name of decency. The players, coaches, front office AND we the fans... are all human. Nobody is perfect. Randle doesn't have to be a villain, and at the same time, it's perfectly OK to hope he's traded and that the Knicks can overcome this. I certainly do. We all have that in common here. Let's keep the peace.

Well said. Nice job articulating this.
The bolded part is a succinct version of what I meant.
