From what I've read, none of them have anything to offer in the way of serious basketball discussion - they just spout baseless (<---key word) opinions as fact...

Why raise my blood pressure over infuriating comments when that's exactly what they want me to do? Sure, I could read what they say & choose to ignore their words, but MY WEAKNESS is that I can't ignore them - I care too much about the subject matter... It's not like I put them on "ignore" because I don't agree with them - I do so because they won't acknowledge reason, despite how many facts, statistics or good sense people use...

Why bang my head against a wall when I can turn my attention to posts that are actually relevant to the topic at hand? Ignoring these 3 people helps me from getting distracted by pettiness and increases my enjoyability on this site (and yes, one of the reasons I participate in this forum is to enjoy myself...)

Anyways, I'm sure U2 appreciates me ignoring them rather than having to edit my replies...

That's well reasoned. But it still seems weak-minded. I'm sure we would all love to live in a world that reasoned exactly as we do. Sadly, I don't think any of us is going to get that. Rather, we are going to have to live in a world where a number of people see things well differently than we do. Pretending they don't exist doesn't seem to me like a productive way to make sense of it all.

Something more along the lines of "know thy enemy" makes sense to me. But as always...chacun a son gout..

On another note, I think the recent problems with epic fail threads around here is probably directly attributable to my finding Jesus when it comes to the Mavs and relinquishing the role of contrarian. No one left to fill those shoes but amateurs...

Thanks for testing my "mettle", i hope i passed your tests.

I'm not pretending they don't exist - I'm hitting the "mute" button...

Life often doesn't have edit buttons either....

I feel profound.

Wow, life would be a lot easier with an "edit" option (especially around my girlfriend's parents!)

ShaggyDirk · 03-06-2008, 01:36 PM

I think the most sensible thing (or fun) would be to give members with so many rep points/and time here, the right to give as much rep as they want at any given time. I just wanna red box MightyTwa& and BigD to no end. And of course I would like to see Drbio have as many red boxes as he has green boxes now.

FINtastic · 03-06-2008, 03:37 PM

Btw, you guys sure are working hard on Doc Bio's rep. That guy is sinking - what, he is like 8th now or something?

fluid.forty.one · 03-06-2008, 03:38 PM

yeah 6th I think... flaco just passed him.

mqywaaah · 03-14-2008, 11:30 PM

Can't we have a troll sub forum for all the trolls to post and lurk in?

EricaLubarsky · 03-15-2008, 06:00 PM

2x

EricaLubarsky · 03-15-2008, 06:12 PM

Top 10
1) U2
2) Chumdawg
3) Mary
4) Dude1394
5) Flaco
6) Sike
7) Drbio
8) Moi
9) DJBacklash
10) jthig

Bottom 10
1) Reeds (7 red bars-- 2 more than the runners up)
2) Deusdeomini
3) Bigdaddy
4) Mightytoine
5) MartinGT
6) BigD
7) Hyphyhoopster
8) haywoodjay
9) George Gervin
10) The Diggler

dishonorable mentions: QuietRiotAct (14th), GuerrillaBlack (18th)

Dr.Zoidberg · 03-15-2008, 06:38 PM

What did Reeds do to get 7 red bars???

Maybe because of his name Reeds...

EricaLubarsky · 03-15-2008, 07:04 PM

Doc and his many aliases rep bombed him daily for months. Its WAY harder getting 7 red bars than it is getting 11 green

Dr.Zoidberg · 03-15-2008, 07:12 PM

Thanks for the reply, Erica.

I really need to start spreading rep around more so I can bump up Quiet Riot Act on that list. 14th just really doesn't do him justice.

Flacolaco · 03-18-2008, 12:00 AM

Reeds is still running away with that thing. Dominant!!!

FINtastic · 03-18-2008, 12:06 AM

As someone that really didn't start posting heavily until the last 2 or 3 years, I really am sad that I never got to witness reeds posting in his prime.

fluid.forty.one · 03-18-2008, 01:10 AM

I believe reeds got most of his from the political forum.

FINtastic · 03-18-2008, 01:44 AM

Yeah looking back on his posts, it looks like he was a die-hard liberal, which is pretty much all it took for a negative-rep rampage from doc bio.

Chum overtakes U2, DrBio drops further, and our own Quiet Riot makes an amazing jump from 14th to top 10 seeding.

Flacolaco · 03-18-2008, 12:28 PM

Congrats Quiet Riot.

I'm right underneath Mary now...right where I want to be.

Unfortunately, u2 is right on top of her.

ShaggyDirk · 03-18-2008, 12:42 PM

that's what your wife said!

I'm not sure I like being downwind from flaco...nice to see thig in the top ten...

fluid.forty.one · 03-18-2008, 02:04 PM

Someone seems like they're missing from the top 10....

It looks like this guy came to a Mavericks board to trash talk about politics and insult Texas. I was hoping for some epic creditxpert-style threads to read through...

We need a better leader of Red Squadron... one whom hilarity follows like a black cloud.

Too bad you can't give rep to a banned member...we could bump some certain folks up.

Big D makes a large jump from sixth to steal a top 2 spot. Quiet Riot is blue collar working his way up from 10th to 7th most hated

MavsX · 03-25-2008, 09:23 PM

haha...man...i hate those guys.

ShaggyDirk · 03-25-2008, 09:25 PM

credit me.. I have been working overtime. Other posters are getting the benefit from it. (yes, I know my rep doesn't pack a big punch but it is something)

EricaLubarsky · 04-01-2008, 06:24 PM

BigD just got his 7th red box....aww the kids are growing up so fast.

Jamyoa also may be the fastest to a top 10 spot. He's now 8th

fluid.forty.one · 04-01-2008, 07:55 PM

I have been slacking on my neg rep distribution.

don't worry..I've been working overtime. I got us both covered!

I've been slamming those idiots all month!

ShaggyDirk · 04-02-2008, 12:07 AM

me too.

FINtastic · 04-02-2008, 12:32 AM

Folks, a monumental moment in D-M.com history has just passed...

BigD has reached the absolute bottom of the rep rankings, surpassing reeds. Congratulations!
