Sounds like I missed a huge party… Where everyone was throwing up!

Appreciate your action …

Thats Turrible Dave.

Oden flexes his muscles as moderator of the painted area and bans Rose from the rim next game.

The guy over here from Golden State wasn’t bad really, it’s just annoying to see him trashing Oden after getting block by Turiaf and stuff like that. Plus, I just feel like during heated games like that it could get ugly between the fanbases. And it’s just weird seeing someone saying Marrow for threeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! in the middle of our Blazer thread.

I’m completely supportive of clamping down on the language. I was as mad as anyone and I didn’t resort to swearing. The same can be said for many, many other BE folk with prezofdeath leading the way. Just can’t let the few people who go overboard bring down the fine work being done around here.

Tonights thread was just not a safe haven for a fan. lol.

Also thanks for pointing out that Timbo’s boxscores are ok, I think I scolded him once
:P

who avoided the thread for the things Dave mentioned, curious about whom the suspendees are?

I was thinking about the language on the thread, and wondering if the site was going downhill. Way to break out the hammer. Totally warranted.

When we had a particular call that didn’t go our way and the fan base became quite irate. It was followed by a great post from Dave (as usual) that allowed the fan base to debate how officials do or don’t affect the game and how we as fans should react. Dave, maybe you should resurrect that post verbatim (to save yourself some time). I know this won’t be the last time this happens!

… and bummed at missing the Game Thread.

R-word comments to get out of line a bit. Not actually a funny topic after all.

Maybe there are alternatives a la fiddlesticks?

Maybe “the refs had their way with us”?

Or, “ugh, the kiss of the zebra”

or “why do they keep whistling while my heart is breaking?”

or “Those l*ker lovin son-of-a-Donaghee’s!”

I think I screamed at my television a little rougher than I do when that sham wow comercial comes on….I feel bad for that too…god I’m on a “hurt my feel bad spree today”.

I have sat in on a few gameday threads on other SB Nation sites that are routinely filled with curse words. I have never participated in one in BE because of my fear that I would let one go.

When Rudy’s jersey was grabbed at the end of the game, I was letting them fly at the TV until my very pregnant wife told me to shut up…. so, again, glad I wasn’t in here. The “Hack-A-G.O.” was painful to watch as well.

We did get robbed, but then again we have nobody to blame but ourselves for playing into GS’s style of play for much of the game. When you leave the game so close like that then you leave too much room for randomness and subjectivity.

I saw some of the comments last night and thought it was despicable! If you can not express yourself using the million or so words in the English language without using profanity, maybe you should go back to grammar school. Using profanity shows the rest of the world your lack of creativity.

was pretty bad, luckily for me I was to busy watching the game to partake. I did notice some f bombs being dropped and was hoping someone would say something. This is a site for everyone afterall and we should leave the foul language off the boards. Thanks guys for running such a great site. J

no posting either but yeah no cursing!!!!! :)

We played like the inhabitants of a baby’s diaper but that “foul” on Rudy at the end was absurdy wrong.

as much as i love youtube, i hate the comments because it brings out the 12 year old in everyone, i’m glad that these rules exist because it keeps intelligent people coming here. Morrow for R.O.Y.! (half kidding)

No one here needs me to utter this but I wanted to make a gesture of support for Dave.

I happen to be a guy who lives and breathes and works every day with a fair bit of profanity. I curse all the time at my computer, friends, and particularly at sporting events.

But I see this site as sort of like visiting someone else’s house. We play by his rules. It really is that simple. It’s not about disagreeing or freedom of expression but a gesture of outright courtesy. I deeply appreciate the work Dave puts in and actually rather resent other people making it hard on him by not following the rules no matter what.

You don’t bring ham to a party celebrating Hanukah. You don’t curse on Blazers Edge.

And that’s just it.

I swear like a sailor in the real world, but I do my best to keep it clean on this site, and i appreciate that others do as well.
I’m sorry the thread had to go, but I understand your reasoning and i applaud you for staying true to the sites nature dave.
