Back where they belong...

By being happy about the Lakers' success, I wasn't taking a shot at the Suns, which seems to be the consensus on here.

Oh please. You were gloating, which is fine; it's certainly your right. But don't try to say it was something else. Rubbing our noses in it that "your" team has won another title is fine, but don't pretend you're being all chummy about it. That's insulting.

That's what I originally took issue with.

Maybe the haters come out because WE ALL HATE the Lakers because they are the Suns biggest rivals - even though the Laker fans don't really see the rivalry - just like the rivalry between the Cards and Dallas or the Rams - and you do notice that the primary emphasis is PHOENIX SUNS forum - right Brian? Give me a break dude - you berate people as trolls all the time who come to the Cards board and DO EXACTLY what you do here - hell - you even rag on Cards fans that aren't apparently "as good as you are" (Wild Card -for example) - how does that make it different? This is obviously a Suns board is it not? Those are the facts - regardless - My friend Mukesh just peered over me and asked -"There's a Lakers fan on a Suns message board? He must be having the best time of his life." - exactly - being a troll.

I understand that this is primarily a Suns board, but when people make threads exclusively about the Lakers (i.e. "Go T-Wolves") then I think you are opening up the forum to other opinions.

And I also disagree with your use of the word ''troll". To me, a "troll" is someone who only comes on a board to throw a bomb and then move on. BIM and I have a lot of posts on this site over a long period of time and I think we have earned a bit of respect from some of the other longtime posters.

If Laker fans are unwelcome just say so and I'll leave this forum and not come back.

You obviously have a lot of posts on the site, but the only time I see you on the NBA forum is to gloat about the Lakers. I doubt you had more than ten posts here (before this thread) over the past year. I don't visit the other boards, so I can't comment on what you do there, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's perfectly congenial.

As far as this forum is concerned, however, you are most certainly a troll. Again, that's your right, and I don't really have a problem with it. You haven't been obscene or particularly offensive, and (by your own admission) you rarely post here. So sure, if you'll be keeping it to a minimum, troll away.

As Suns fans, we have to get used to it. There's no disputing that.

again - just like I'd like to see other fans here like I do on the Cards board - I don't think you should leave - I just find it hypocritical that if the same thing happened on the Cards board - someone would be called a troll - maybe not by you - but I know BIM would call that person out personally I have no problem with it - just wanted to point out something I found interesting and amusing to me.

That's fine. I've never tried to hijack a Suns thread or made posts like "Suns suck" or anything.

This has become a way bigger deal than I planned. I was just going for some ggod natured ribbing, but many have taken it the wrong way and I'm sorry for that. Like I said, I've been around long enough that I thought my thread would be taken in the spirit intended. Kind of like we all are when we and our friends/co-workers root for different teams.

Don't worry. I won't be starting anymore threads on this forum again. Too many thin-skinned members IMO.

Peace, out.

No worries. I know that I can be combative and a bit of an ass at times. But I've never been one to hold a grudge. You may be right about the Cards board. I probably wouldn't like it if a Pats fan said, "Patriots rule", but I wouldn't call the guy names.

I remember I kind of freaked out last year when everyone on this board were laughing at the Lakers when they lost to the Spurs. I would never start an anti-Suns thread on a Suns board, however.

Believe it or not, I'm not a troll. Let's just let this thread die and move on.

agreed - and I don't think you are a troll - BIM on the other hand . . .

GIVE ME A BREAK.

If you don't like his post, IGNORE IT. It's not all that difficult.

Furthermore, the personal attacks and jokes about people are getting sickening. You guys sound like a bunch of whiny homers when Laker fans come on this board to celebrate their team. Yes, I understand there are Laker boards, but none of them as personal and relaxed as ASFN. Some people feel comfortable around here for different reasons, I think we should try and keep it that way.

If the mods deem it inappropriate, then they will handle it. Everyone claims to be mature around here, so lets start acting like it.
