If it doesn't come out of left field, I can handle shit with the best of them. It's the unprovoked stuff that I have trouble dealing with. Character flaw? Perhaps.

Cam had his issues, but I always thought his knowledge, especially on the college game, was an asset to this board. 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.
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.
At the end of the day his college basketball analysis was 50/50 at best when it came to being right yet he came off as an I'm always right type of guy. He was on the Towns bandwagon this year sure, but he was on the Parker over Wiggins and Stauskas bandwagons last year. I'm as guilty as him at going after people which is why I have kind of left the Cam hate threads alone, but I wasn't ok with him attacking people claiming because he's seen all the games he knows more and then have a spotty track record to support his eye test. That leaves room for others to be right and that usually wasn't allowed when debating with him.

I applaud you for leaving the Cam threads alone. I think you're one guy who has become much more civil over time.

Something we all learn eventually is everyone is replaceable. When someone leaves, it opens up opportunity for others and life goes on. I'm not expecting any candle light vigils if I stop posting here - lol. That said, I'm not rooting for anyone to walk away either. More people = more activity and opinions which is usually good for these boards.
