Mod- you can remove this thread whenever you want...

With that said, people need to read an entire thread before they even do a single reply.

Case and point: Scroll down to this "Playstation" guy who did a reply saying I am crazy and pissed after a thread that was simply a voting poll. Reall all my posts and finally read the "Playstation" one at the end to be the judge on this thread.

http://www.arizonasportsfans.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1478699#post1478699

There are at least 5 more examples of this in which I have caught people who have clearly not read a single text in the entire thread - but simply saw the name SUNSMAN44 and began to lash out for no reason.

Just a heads up people. If u don't like what you read, click ignore.

If you don't read it at all, don't reply. As far as I'm concerned, most of my posts have decent thought, argument, and more logic than what I have witnessed here in this pre-teen forum. (with exception to the Bobcats one in which I got carried away as I seldom tend to do)

EXACTLY MY FRIGGIN POINT.

Another person who simply read the first sentence and did not bother reading the rest. This is unbelievable. :bang:

This post is not for the Mods. I said Mods can delete if they want because it is NOT a Suns topic and they may feel inclined to do so.

Mods don't give a damn about it. This post is for people like you who don't read before they type.

Really, man, how do you expect people to respect you and take you seriously when you say that this is a "pre-teen forum"?

I actually read your entire post, and what did I find? For some reason, you keep posting on a message board that you consider to be "pre-teen" and to have less logic than you do. You keep telling people to click on ignore if they don't want to read what you're saying, but what are YOU doing here if you think this forum is so bad? Why do you keep posting here if you don't think the other posters are logic?

Doesn't it occur to you that playstation MIGHT not be talking about that thread specifically? On your first post, less than 3 months ago, you actually said the Suns wouldn't even make the playoffs with their current roster. You also complain about Kerr and D'Antoni every chance you get, and you hardly ever say something positive about the team.

You don't like how the Suns are being put together for next season, and that's fine. You'd be surprised to find that many people on this board feel the same way.

But you get into arguments with posters here all the time, and the funny thing is, some of those people actually agree with your opinions at times, but inevitably get tired of how repetitive you can be. Again, that's not the case in that particular thread, but it is in many others.

I can understand frustration with people who misread posts, but 44's response to such misunderstandings and simple disagreement seems almost intentionally designed to make things worse.

Clearly any expression of an opinion creates opposition. I certainly get my share of fairly personal responses, but I try to avoid responding in kind. It's not easy when there are individuals with vendentas against you, but ultimately they become the losers since mistreatment of others does not make them very popular.

Overall, this board is pretty good about responding to reasonably presented opinions with reasonable responses. They may not agree, but most won't just pour sarcasm on stuff they disagree with. Some, yes, but overall this is a fairly reasonable group.

But once a person gets into the habit of using hostility, sarcasm and personal abuse as the be-all of their participation, the response tends to be in kind. After a while, any content gets lost and people just turn off when most posts are just hostle rants.

Your general attitude on this board is is full exaggeration and negativity. Just because there's a a few posts of yours that dont have some of those qualities doesnt mean you wont get criticized for it. Split personalities are not valid on message boards. Your screen name carries plenty of baggage with it, and you need to grow up and change, or deal with it on your own.

Creating an off topic thread about yourself isnt the way to increase the board's tolerance for you.

I bit my tongue as long as I could because people like cheesebeef scolded me for calling this kid out. But the overwhelming majority of this board grows tired of you much too easily and with good reason. And im tired of keeping quiet about it because of veteran posters thinking I am adding to the problem. You distract from the natural flow of conversation, and above all your faults, that is the crux of the problem

Sunsman44, youre an attention craving, tantrum throwing, immature drama queen who distracts more than contributes to the civil discourse that fills this board. Youre a cancer to casual conversation and a glutton for despair. Your attitude is opposite that of a true suns fan and you should have the foresight to change your ways with how obviously negative you rub off on others. Your stubborness is not a positive trait, and your acceptance and advocation of being ignored is sub-civil.

None of your qualities warrant a response of respect. Please reconsider your actions so that they may fall more in tune with respectable posting etiquette. Or go away.

That is all.

I hope you don't feel like you're the only one whose posts aren't read. Of course, in your case, the entire point of any of your posts is to annoy, so it's hard to blame people for not reading them. I've had you on Ignore for weeks, but people keep quoting your posts in full for some sadistic reason.

Eric is right on target. It's all about intent.

At some point everybody will annoy somebody else. That's the nature of opinions. But when the whole point of the posts is to annoy and then get indignant that people react accordingly, it looks suspiciously like trolling.

Just a heads up people. If u don't like what you read, click ignore.

Why does this advise apply to everyone except yourself? Couldn't you simply ignore the posters who make ignorant replies?

Maybe you have time to read an 8 page thread, post after post, and reply accordingly. I would wager that most people do not. Any thread that ventures beyound 3-4 pages is going to result in a ton of twists, turns, and misunderstandings.

Welcome to message board blogging.

Anyways lighten up, it's just the internet man. Just a message board. No one is making a pass at your mother or smacking your little sister. If you don't like what someone has to say, ignore them.

This is a prime example of why there is no need to respond to any outlandish post 44 makes. The purpose of him being here is soley to annoy, then play victim when anyone opposes his "opinions". The existence of this thread pretty much proves said point. You'd be better off just not responding to him, because you play right into his agenda.

Your essay still failed to A) answer my question as to why somebody would say something completely off topic in the given link regarding the poll question thread and B) is a contradictory statement since you yourself have been extremely negative throughout these boards and this essay itself.

you just suck in general sunsman44.

And they tell me I have no right to call this forum a bunch of pre-teeners? I rest my case, buddy. Grow up.

There is not a hint of intelligence on this board.

I continually try and stimulate minds here, whether it be controversial or simple post like Damir Markota and poll questions, and people come back with stupid, nonsensical ******** attacking me personally and NOT my argument.

Even worse, I have repeatedly seen about 15 times that people won't even read the post. They simply see the 44 and reply with "stupid" "you are a moron" "idiot" "you are negative so shut up" where in fact the post is a completely postive and valid take on a given Suns issue.

oh yeah?! well... i wrote an essay with your mom last night!

i read somewhere that using the 'your mom' comeback is scientifically proven to be indefensible. you can't argue with science.
