I quoted you in an attempt to help show you why - maybe I didn't explain my qoute enough. All your comment did was stir the pot, despite whatever intentions you had (and I'm getting dangerously close to that line, so after this it will be back to basketball for me.<BR/><BR/>I understand I might sound high and mighty, but imo I ALMOST have a right to. Before you, AK, and others brought your feuding here I never would have posted anything like that or this. Allow me to use some evidence to illustrate my point:<BR/> Why, I ask you, did an article about how few older players we have on the sonic's roster reach 73 comments? Because AK posted, and because that simple action on his part seems to warrant three people, indirectly or not, picking a fight with him. I know he is abrasive, but get over it. By giving him attention and feeding the feud, you only amplify any problems. My post had the intention of pointing this out to you (either you couldn't figure out that big mystery by yourself, or you simply dont care; either one would fully explain your response) and to tell AK the best way he can get along with the natives here (because he's had troubles with that at other places). Forgive me if that's outside my rights as a long time reader here, but there has been too much chaos here. I understand that you had other intentions, but you need to realize the other implications of your actions, or at least acknowledge them without taking shots at those who point them out. <BR/><BR/>I realize that this post or any more like it won't help things - I've given as sound of advice as I can, and it will either be taken or cast aside. I'm not going to get sucked into the cycle of personal attacks any more, so it's basketball from now on.<BR/><BR/>Sounding as patronizing as I did, I should have assumed that you wouldn’t be able to take my criticism with a grain of salt and then move on; my fault. Just re-read my advice without getting offended, and try and take from it what you will. Notwithstanding your response, I assure you that your post really did not go over my head. And forgive me for overreacting, but really what can you expect with the apocalyptic vibes that have been given off. It sounds like this feud has dropped several blogs like this one into the dust, and we certainly don't want that here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-53014226730530147402007-07-31T00:01:00.000-07:002007-07-31T00:01:00.000-07:00HEY BRaiN, er Brian, re read my post. i wasn't ac...HEY BRaiN, er Brian, <BR/><BR/>re read my post. i wasn't actually taking that point of view, rather, I was saying it is an idiotic point of view to take. It's an argument that AK makes all the time and I was calling it out as a ridiculous argument to make. <BR/><BR/>That's why I said the following: <BR/><BR/>"It would be annoying right? Since I'm basically saying, don't hold me responsible for my actions. I'll do whatever the hell I want to do." <BR/><BR/>Lol. Way to take me to task, buddy. I haven't said anything since a pseudo-apology from Ak on this thread or another one, but your inept take on what you think I said was too much not to respond to. And the next time you should really understand why I was responding so vehemently to AK. He continued to drag the names of people from the other site through the mud, especially Brian R., and I wanted to defend that. <BR/><BR/>But hey, thanks for being such a great mediator - just get the context right next time you use a quote to call me or anybody else out. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-31494729752780331392007-07-30T14:42:00.000-07:002007-07-30T14:42:00.000-07:00Assuming no moves are made, it will be somewhat li...Assuming no moves are made, it will be somewhat like that.

I, much like mason, whose legitimate and unbiased observations you so ineptly and illogically brushed aside, have no previous dispositions to any of the newcomers to this site. It seems that whenever AK posts, three or so people jump on him and throw out personal attacks. In doing this, all of you are contributing to the destruction of constructive conversation far more that the individual whom you are criticizing for doing so. This is nothing less than the highest level of hypocrisy. The quote above illustrates a mentality that has no desire to avoid conflict. You hate him with such a passion that you are blinded to the negative effects your trolling of AK has on the boards you follow him to. Do you really think that the approach you are taking is going to make anything better? Just shut up, don't make personal attacks that give him reason to talk smack, and focus on basketball. I'm not taking his side, it just seems to me that you guys are doing as much as anyone to keep the problems flowing.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>AK- <BR/><BR/>It seems apparent to me that you want a fresh start. You are conscious of your abrasive style, as well as how it effects and, for some reason, infuriates others. I would hope that you could tell by this point that your style has its part in causing the conflicts that unfortunately surround you. It is then, unfortunately, your responsibility to tone down your posts if you indeed do want to avoid these conflicts. Just be the bigger man and don't respond to personal attacks with personal attacks - doing so will be the most effective defense of your character you could possibly make. Also, try to be more constructive and less brutal when you disagree with someone's ideas; your approach is sometimes unnecessarily brutal, and does not bode well for a constructive discussion or debate. Keep it clean and polite, please (I have every faith that you are willing to do this). Also, my commendations for agreeing to keep this board free of profanity, that was a classy move.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I will close by pointing out the difference between my post and the destructive trolling that has been fueling this thread. I am not trying to make enemies, I am not trying to start arguments. I am merely attempting to constructively point out the observations of this apparently long-lived feud, from an unbiased perspective. All I'm trying to do is help clean these boards of the unnecessary personal attacks that have been, only recently, polluting it. I realize that in doing so, I have made what could be construed as a personal attack itself. I apologize in advance, but i felt that what I said needed to be said.<BR/><BR/>It takes cooperation from both sides for a conflict like this to subside; here's to hoping that everyone is willing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-45913062574343437942007-07-28T13:58:00.000-07:002007-07-28T13:58:00.000-07:00"The reason why I don't like AK.At any moment, my ..."<I>The reason why I don't like AK.<BR/><BR/>At any moment, my supervisor at my work can jump onto my computer and see what I'm looking at.
