Board civility

[TAFKASP]

Cam just felt obligated to challenge everyones assertions on here, it got to be too much, and yes, he would never admit he was wrong on anything.

If you're.reading this can, tone it down a little then come back.

Fixed!

I'm glad I teed up this thread...some funny stuff in here. Special recognition has to go to monsterpile for his question about how much cap space we cleared after Cam accepted a max deal at rubechat!

This board, going back to the ESPN days, has always been relatively civil, with the occasional outbreak of incivility. We've had some characters over the years that brought the board down a level, but really not so much since we transitioned from ESPN.

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.

Well... Stauskas hasn't shown much. But I think the ROY race would have been very interesting if Parker hadn't been injured. While I dig Wiggins' progression... I don't think we can guarantee that Parker won't become a pretty damn good player too.



[Note: Khris Middleton should hug Parker and that knee every time he sees him. Parker's injury helped Middleton make about $30 or even $40M...]

I'm glad I wasn't blamed for anything.

I am going to post here rather than find a draft thread: I love what the Wolves did draft night. I thought for sure the K/A/T talk was a smokescreen and that Flip would draft Okofor because that is what his Lord-and-Master Bill Duffy told him to do, but Bruce Jenner must have inspired Flip to grow a pair.

Not much chance of Tyrus Jones saying "I heard bad things about Minneapolis", and he can play 15-20 minutes a night for 15 years.

If Dieng/Pek/KG/KAT/Bazz/Bjellica/KMart/Wiggins/Lavine/BlondRicky all play 70+ games, this team is going to the playoffs.

And we can all use the good news. I think the Twins bullpen just blew a game against Macalester, and the Mild's big F/A pick-up was a MINUS THIRTY last year.
