I think when personalities like his throws shade at someone, the grown-up response is to not engage in the same tactics. I always admired the way LST would respond to Cam's berating of his anti-Love/pro-Bennett takes.
I don't think anyone doubts his basketball knowledge, and I do wish he'd return here because of that. But on the other hand, it's rather childish that he bolted after a few people called him out about the way he responded to people's opinions. The old case of dish it out but cant take it.
I appreciate everyone's opinions here, as well as the mature way (most) people debate on their differing opinions. It seems that we are gaining new people with every positive turn this wolves team takes. Talk about a bright future!

The funniest thing is how he claimed to enjoy people coming after him, and then was so butt hurt that he put his tail between his legs and went home. Personally, the way some patronize Cam has me sticking my fingers down my throat to induce vomiting. His type are a dime a dozen on these boards. Way bigger loss for him than it is for us.

I don't see it as a childish move from my perspective. Cam didn't seem to care much what people thought about him so I wonder if he decided that his way of discussion wasn't a good fit here and decided to take his talents elsewhere. Maybe he got a max contract offer at Rubechat. Lol does anyone know what this board's salary cap space might be now if indeed lost him?

Monster, that whole scenario was childish. In fact it was the definition of it. He definitely cared what people thought or he would surely still be here.

I don't think I communicated well that I mean he left not because of what people think of him but more the way people wanted to communicate. He said there is either a right or wrong that's it. I am really not sure anyone here really believes that way at least as strong as he does. Either way he is free to do whatever he wants and like Q said I will miss his basketball knowledge but I will not miss some of the ways he chose to communicate to people which I would say was not a reasonable adult manner. So I guess I came back around to your point of him being childish? Lol anyway enough about that.

I said this once before but I really Carlos and TRKO joined they were a great addition. I also have always enjoyed Lip's, LST's, Monsters, Abe's, etc posts. ( I am missing a dozen others)
Thanks a lot for those comments. This is a solid board. I like to debate ideas, but I hate when things get personal. This board is pretty level headed and has great activity. It's pretty fun stuff.

Vomit away then. I don't think he was a "dime a dozen" poster. He knew the college game and prospects better than anyone on this board. I found that to be valuable.
