PERSONAL TESTIMONIALS FROM TASTEMAKERS OF TODAY:

You are banned from Blazer's Edge.
You can browse the blog, but you can't participate.

Timbo, Your account has been suspended for the weekend. If you'd like to come back Monday, agreeing to discuss basketball matters and not using the site as a forum to complain about moderating, e-mail me then at blazersub@yahoo.com and I will reinstate you. Otherwise thanks for your contributions and enjoy the upcoming season. -- Dave (8/15/08)

----------------

If I were to use a cooking analogy I would say Timbo
is one of those ingredients that you’d really miss if it weren’t there. He’s the cilantro in the salsa. Cilantro is a necessary ingredient in many dishes from several cultures. Sometimes people don’t recognize that what makes the dish so tasty is that cilantro. Cilantro is one of my favorite herbs. It even has medicinal qualities. Good stuff! I use it all the time. --Annthefan (8/15/08)

----------------

That is a perfect analogy!
because I cannot stomach cilantro- yuck! -- Section323 (8/15/08)

----------------

...Having no way to put certain posters on "IGNORE" is a serious shortcoming and takes away much of the enjoyment of using the site. Imagine not having to endure all those "cute" and pompous instances of responding to one’s own posts…. -- R11 (8/15/08)

----------------

Timbo was banned? * * * It seems a little odd that Dave would allow his fanpost and a few of his comments and THEN ban him, but ours is not to wonder why, I suppose. -- 12Sharks (8/15/08)

----------------

...Enough is enough. It’s time to get back to basketball. --Dave (8/15/08)

Blazer's Edge Commented .................. It occurs to me the cause is also similar -- in baseball often when hitters start overswinging and uppercutting to hit the big fly, in LMA's case camping out at the 3 point line to shoot the big bomb, which took him out of his real game on Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Pistons--Second Half on Blazer's Edge - 11/30/08 7:34 PM PST
