Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[DanSchwartzgan]

Why is it snarly? I have seen people accusing folks who want to see Nico gone as “bitching” on this thread. I see other attacks over and over saying folks  who are against this trade as not realizing Luka’s faults despite that being a flat out lie.

What others do or don't do has nothing to do with whether your post was snarky.  Once you do the old "oh wait" schtick, you've entered the realm of snarky.

 
So please don’t patronize me or tell me how I should or should not be critical of this management and ownership as it currently stands.

Here you claim I was patronizing.  Elsewhere you say you were attacked.  By definition it can't be both.  If I was trying to be patronizing, I wouldn't have said your proposal "devolved" and I wouldn't have called it snarky.

Being critical is one thing.  No one is arguing against the right to flame Nico.  Your proposal may have started out as well intended.  But, it ended up being a poorly veiled shot at other posters, not the team.    

I feel it mighty strange that folks who want to move on are not contributing to other threads but sone how gravitate back to this thread.  At some point the mods will kill this thread as well. 

 
I will say the Troll doesn't abide by any such boundaries.  For better or worse, I addressed your shots at other posters with his pure volume of obvious trolling.  I should have dealt with them as separate issues.

No one, not you, not sh, not Dan has answered why none of the other threads are filling up on this board and who exactly is stopping all the so called intelligent posts on this board. 
 

I actually did answer this.  Third and fourth sentences of the first paragraph of my answer.   The shots at people who disagree with your worldview have been going on for awhile.  Almost a month ago you were called out for calling posters DUMB and having a loser mentality.  Personally, I don't post as much because having to read these attacks is a beating.   

My secondary reason (and I suspect that of others as well) is an effort to be kind.  Poking the bear when the bear is this emotional doesn't help anyone.  But, in this case the bear is basically making fun of people who are trying to show restraint.

   

I have been a long time contributor over many iterations of this board and this post to me tells me that criticism of the Mavs organization will be censored even though there were many other threads that Dan or anyone else could have posted on. 

Using word like emotional vs rational to somehow gaslight folks who are critical of Nico and want to see him gone add further fuel to the fire. 

I don't think I questioned your contributions to the board.  Apologies if it came off that way.  I'm questioning your approach as I think it is injurious to the health of the board.

Yes, it is possible to be rational and emotional at the same time.  The question is can you keep your emotions in check enough to stay rational.  You often succeed at this, but not all the time.  You cross the line when you call people dumb or losers.  Leave other posters alone and debate the substance of their positions.  No one is going to censor that.  In fact, it might encourage conversation.  The approach you took today was conversation inhibiting, which is the reason I called you out.
