Call me an asshole, feel feel to make an argument as to why I’m wrong. Cool, see the difference is I don’t care. I keep scrolling. I will keep pointing out the idiocy of the ideas behind what he’s saying. Or what you might say.
You may not like the language, but when someone is acting "******" I don’t lose my ever loving shit because I don’t play by this idea that I’m afraid to offend someone.
My god you all are soft. If it offends you or anyone else, it’s a forum that Hoopster can freely ban me from and the rest of you can put your helmets and ear muffs back on and avert your eyes.
Your argument is that because you think David is acting like an idiot, you are justified in using these terms toward him. What you are ignoring is the fact that terms like "******" and "short bus" are offensive to OTHER people too. You can stand by it, but it's just not a good look.
I “attacked” David. Yes.
He was being an idiot and I stand by it.
You are making a strawman argument. I have no problem with "negativity." There are plenty of "negative" posters I respect on here such as 49erjr and LBRob. They and I may differ on opinions, but they go about it in a respectful manner. You, however, cross the line into being a bully and unnecessarily rude.
I have no problem with your belief that Monson should go. In fact, I now agree, barring a magical run to the NCAAs. The problem I have is with how you regularly attack and demean people.
The funny thing BeachFan is I can actually articulate my position on why things need to change. I can actually openly discuss why I disagree with you and David. To the extent when you or David make utterly (what I believe to be) idiotically weak cases for Monson’s extension and/or defense of his tenure, I gave the free capability to be as bombastic as I can be to snap some of you out of supporting something that is actively killing MBB.
If this was year 5, sure go nuts. But after 17 years many of us have nothing less that to scream at the wall that is this message board. And when someone walks in and goes “everything is fine” in fact, “let’s keep Monson” or “stop being negative”….you get caught in the crossfire.
So to that end, I’m fine being banned. Have your echo chamber. As I said the last time I left. You deserve these results.
Also, that same account also regularly responds to posts with irrelevant, rude comments just for the sake of being rude. That, to me, is trolling. Here are a few examples:

https://members5.boardhost.com/49erHoops/msg/1710039553.html
Name the post and time that was stated. Numerous people reached out about David’s behavior on here. I have heard zero people reach out about comments like that. Communication is needed in order to look things over. I created two email accounts posted at the top of this board for that exact reason.
So David is suspended but not the poster who calls people “*******” and suggest those who disagree with him have autism? Got it.
It has become unfortunately apparent that David is posting continued spam posts and deliberately trolling people. He posts things to just rile people up, and he has tried to hijack this board. He has been given a temporary suspension “time out” if you will, to correct this behavior. If he does not stop I have no problem blocking him. If he refrains from this type of spamming/trolling posts, then I see no problem with him being reinstated as a valued frequent poster on here. This page should be fun, and a great place to discuss the school’s athletics. Everyone is welcome here, and I value all your opinions. However, if you are just going to go back and forth with another poster over and over and over, about the same thing, and name call each other like children.... it's probably better to exchange phone numbers with each other and leave the rest of us out of it. I have been very fair, and haven’t filtered hardly anything on here, and don't want to. People have had the free will to post as they like, and I do want debates and discussions. But it has just become too annoying, and this behavior is purposely bogarting the board and it is affecting others who try to post on here and have more variety. Our frustrations with the mediocrity our program has fallen to shouldn't bring out nastiness towards each other. Many people have reached out via email to me that his behavior not only violates the rules, but is making the board not as fun as it used to be. I work full time, and made this board so that people could speak freely, but with a level of class and decorum towards each other. It was also created in response to the drama and spamming on the other board that drained all the fun out of it. It's actually a lot more work than you all know to keep this board running smoothly and keep spam off of it fairly. Going forward please refrain from using words that disparage people with disabilities, and other obviously offensive words (Be Better than that). We can do better than that, and other people outside this school read this Board, so it shows them who we are as an Alumni. Hope our program goes up from here because the last season, home game, attendance, and overall game execution shouldn't be what we strive for or accept for our Basketball program. Go Beach!
