Let's Be A Little More Creative

Yeah! Mentally Ill people have rights too! Dan sticks up for everyone! I thought I was bad... Go Devil Rays!

Clearly False Prophet has taken it upon herself to represent the Almighty collective think-tank here at ArmchairGM.

it's Aaron, sorry for the error

(clap, clap, clap)

Wow, FP.. that was some of your best work ever. (Too bad there was no sports in it... =(

One note: ALL These guys combined aren't half as bad as Pnatt was. They at least write something new each comment and talk about less clearcut topics.

America Sucks! Too many teams! Footbal Season is too Long! Playoff formats all wrong! Let's keep the troublesome and the brain damaged separate...

they aren't as bad, but they've caused more of a head ache. Pnatt was a Man against society. This is like a culture war (kinda). Thanks Manny. It's essentially my conversation with Rob and Dan last night put into prose

It is not a headache you are experiencing False Prophet. That throb in your head is actually a thought-process mechanism desperately trying to activate but is blocked by redundant overload of meaningless sporting statistics.

Look I post columns and you guys comment. I was not the one who started commenting that my column was about racism, about cultural differences, about slavery- I didn't start the conversation about if slaves had it better being slaves are being paid-- all of you did and I responded back on your comments. This is all bullshit, especially to you FP and you Manny. You guys responded to my column, responded with certain comments, I commented on your comments, you comment back- that's how a discussion begins.

You are the ones who have constantly criticized me, called me names, told me WHAT I WAS, not the other way around-

So twist this all you want but it is not I who needs to write an apology it is both of you! Nice try.

the purpose of this site is for sports Tyrone, if you want to talk politics, go to politics.wikia.com. Same site, but for politics. Jamel, I suggest you re-read what I have said, and I wait your apologies for me and for others

Look FP we can have a sword fight back and forth all we want-- your original post above had no merit.

Again, I submitting a column (that is my right)- you commented, I commented back. You and Manny and others created all the paths that we went down. When you and Manny and cpcp didn't like the reactions you received from your original comments the name game began.

Nope. Sorry. Try again.

you're the one who needs to try again. you called us Nazi's, which in and of itself is enough for us to be pissed. You turn everything into an issue about race, which it isn't. I wrote my paragraph as you requested. It was about Race and what this has taught me. I now await your public apologies to Dan, Rob, Aaron, Pean, Myself, Yu, Leslie, Manny, and CPCP

Nope. Try again.

No. I told you what I had learned from this experience in relation to race. That's what you asked. As far as I can see, i've done everything you've asked

If I was your teacher I would give you a C for that attempt and ask for a re-write.

only because you don't like what I had to say. I will not write anything that says what you think about things. I tell 'em how I see 'em

"I tell 'em how I see 'em"-- anyone else know I guy who has said this?

Did Manny actually praise False Prophet for writing like a student of Remedial English Class 101? If that was her "best effort", I would hate to see what constitutes as an average post.

yes, it does

no, I just told it like it is

and others. It's petty and immature, but most of all it's utterly disrespectful to the people who have spent tons of energy and earned their merits to get rampaged by some think-they're-something-trolls and I will squash it with all my might, every time. It won't happen in my vicinity, it's unneccessary. If you don't want to be part of the Sports Wiki community go be a social commentator elsewhere (PLENTY of wiki-outlets made for you) Dammit, I don't watch CNN or CNBC or FOX News for a reason... I need SPORTS!

Yeah, Jay Mariotti likes to claim that phrase as well.

Then why do you help keep it going Manny? Just asking.

Tons of energy? Clipping and pasting jpegs for people to post captions? Top 10 lists? Cut & paste of articles from the AP? Riveting. ArmchairGM actually has an opportunity to break free from the bondag of benign scrubbed news and information better known as the Associated Press. That is the pure beauty and art of the blogging world. Unbridled creativity. And dare I say, anything posted by Jamel or even my one CPK-imitating Bulls-Pistons absurd column generating a hell of a lot more discussion and thought than anything else presented here in the past 2 weeks. Good, bad or ugly - more traffic is generated here.

The problem that you guys have is you don't actually like having discussions or debates- if people don't feel the same way about a certain topic as you do you go all censorship like and start banning people or start name calling.

Instead you like to recap a game and regurgitate information. There is a reason my first column created almost 200 comments-- it creates conversation.

The problem with you guys is that you make comments and then don't like the reactions you get-- for example discussing economics and slavery- Who started the civil war discussion- feel free to check back Who started the penis conversation- feel free to check back

Who started any of the conversations- feel free to check back

and yet almost none of it involved sports. If you want to talk politics, or about society, this is not the place to do it. If you want to talk sports, be my guest

It involved sports-- what's wrong with you?

Didn't today's involve the whole ball park experience?

How is talking about the EXPERIENCES WHILE AT A GAME NOT ABOUT SPORTS???????

it started about sports, but as soon as I say I agree with you, you turn it into a totally non sports discussion

What???!!! You agree with me and than it turns into a non-sports conversation- what the heck does that mean?

The real agitator and inciter on ArmchairGM is False Prophet. An admin's role is not to choose a side and flame the opposing view point up to the point of banning that individual simply because of a difference of opinion. Admins should help encourage the flow of a discussion, not enter the gutter themselves with bias comments. This website service has been such a closed off community for so long that the over-accumulating urine and fecal waste from these neophytes drifting aimlessly without purpose in this shrinking fishbowl have polluted genuinely creative minds such as Manny.

Funny thing- I just went and looked at top columns, most commented columns, etc etc- you guys use to have fun here- heck there is even a Who is the sexiest NFL cheerleader thread with over 300 hits-- just curious what happened? Did FP gain power?

Yeah, but False Prophet apologized for all of that. He's not a Pnatt. The REAL agitator is whoever keeps giving me negative comment scores when it's obvious that I'm the only one who knows what he's talking about ALL the time. I think it's Manny. Manny is a Pnatt.

So you think Manny is the PNATT?? So what do we do about it? Do we take him out?

First off Clayton. Where do you cash in these scores of negatives, secondly, I'll bet your testicles (If you indeed carry a set - over the internet, not everyone is honest and open and willing to show themselves like myself) that I have +'d more comments than you have posted words on this site yet. Learn to respect the waters in which you tread.

You may think you swim in an ocean but a small pond (as you claim this to be) may be poisoned with elements your marine systems can't handle. Sharks can't live in freshwater with the guppies. Beware.

I bust Pnatts on the heads of chumps like you. Play in peace or you MIGHT begin to incite me to anger. (Psst - I don't fight like you do...)

Know your audience.

Wow- Manny you are out of line-- Clayton is a foe of mine but he only called you the same word you so cleverly enlightened us all with.

You actually threatened him with violence- unacceptable behavior-- is a time out in order?

Plus what's up with the testical battle? Yesterday i told everyone I have a 10 and 3/8 inch penis but I didn't make it into a contest and challenge people- what's going on here?

@ Manny:

1. I don't want you to show me your testicals. 2. I didn't know that guppies have testicals. 3. What's a Pnatt? Some sort of a weapon? 4. Which is worse, a chump or a pnatt?

5. Why do you wanna fight me? Isn't giving everybody negative comment scores and replying with old granpa's book of homespun metaphors enough?

Manny has now threatened physical violence towards Mr. Smythe and myself. Why is this tolerated here at ArmchairGM? For an ordained minister and being a MAN OF GOD, I would expect a more moralistic and spiritual approach to solving one's conflicts then to resort to threats of violence. And please, why don't ALL OF YOU give me a NEGATIVE SCORE as a SHOW OF SUPPORT TO MANNY'S THREATS?

OK Tyrone. You win. Congratulations to you.

I am the little fool amongst the GREAT fools, apparently. Here I was thinking it's the other way around...

You asked for it, you got it.

I don't think I have ever witnessed threats of violence on a blog- can't you be arrested for that?

Why is everything a contest??? Who does there always have to be a winner and a loser? So competitive Manny. Question to you-- do you work out? Are you on 'roids?

Clayton = Doesn't know I didn't give him negatives, but I guess I'm being accused of it I should do it...(I won't)

As for 'showing themselves" I wasn't referring to exposing my genetalia (you keep dreaming and wishing) I was referring to "revealing the old Human identity" of the Superhero. People KNOW who I am. I don't hide. I ACTUALLY STAND BEHIND WHAT I SAY in real life too. Hide behind your persona all you want. You ain't better than shit. You're a human that is just like us who has to eat, sleep live and deal with people and take a SHIT just like us.

And until you your nimble little minds can understand that you have little value to the construction of the things you so banter about, I have no more time for you.

I am a man, not a miracle worker. I don't have time to rehash sentences and misconstrue them over benign semantics. Sorry, I like to create my entertainment not rehash others' creativity to make up for my percieved inadequacies... You can keep doing what you're doing, I tried to understand, It's all Greek to me now. The audience you seek isn't what I am, sorry.

Peace and good tidings - Erik -

http://www.a...omment-73709 Works fine for me

Locker room, off the top menu.

so can I, but there's no reason for turning it into another flamewar when we all essentially agreed about it

Thanks Ju-- at least you are beginning to see, beginning to understand

I guess so...The Bulls and Pistons article meant to mock leslie annoyed me in that you were mocking him/her and it kinda goes against the spirit of the site, but nothing I can really do about that...I mean personally I thought you were wrong on some points about the sox vs cubs thing and so I commented. I didn't feel your comments were responsive to mine (meaning I still felt you were wrong)...with that said, there's not point arguing over something with the same points over and over (which was partially my mistake)... However, with respect to things like overpriced beer and "NO PAM" I think you're pretty right on and I found that stuff interesting...its ashame that some old topics (i.e. fighting) had to be drug into it because overall at least I can appreciate things like that...and i didn't know pam was discovered in a CFL game...any idea what size she was then?

I didn't write that article.

What size was Pam back then-- about a handful for a 6'2 230 lb black guy- And I meant I didn't write the column about Bulls/Pistons- Tyrone did.

My fault, mixed them up...

Someone needs to look this up...(i would but I'm at work)...i know at some point early in her career she had a little work done and then she famously bulked up later...but, what was the original size...

Also, have you ever read Chuck Klosterman's essay on why Pam is the current generation's Marilyn Monroe...I have no idea where to find it, but its pretty interesting and I think it was written for esquire

It's probably cause all black people read the same to you. Nope. Tyrone and I are two individal unique black men.

They write the same?!

White people write like this. Black people write like dis.

She was also young and fresh and not ridden hard. I think she had most/all of her work don after Home Improvement. Was nowhere near that big back then.

Here is a pic of the "original Pam"

Clearly you're correct there...She definitely was "ridden hard and put away wet"

Nothing wrong with this http://www.g...Pictures/Pam Anderson album/thumbnails/pamela_anderson_tits_3_jpg.jpg

Yeah, it's a shame when they get abused and run down-- never quit ride the same

"My fault, mixed them up..." Just stopped short of "they all look and type the same too", huh?

Actually no, I just mixed them up...

See you guys dig your own holes waiting for us to push you in-- I don't confuse you with FP? You seem like you are out of your 'teen years-- you seem like you have actually gotten laid-- see, so many differences

I mean, it was a mistake...sorry

Thanks.

All I did was submit an article. People have the right to read it and post comments if they so desire.

That is what occured. However, all of a sudden I am being told that people were BETTER OFF BEING SLAVES- I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS- so I commented back- DID I START THIS CONVERSATION??? NO- In my original column all I wrote was that the civil war was about slavery- someone tried to correct this- fine by me- things went down a path and this stupid statement was made- how is that my fault???

Then we have a discussion on Vick's dogs and everyone crys about the mistreatment of the dogs- I pointed out (along with another) that this is no different than slavery-

Take acceptance of your thoughts, actions, and words-- relate them to others circumstances-

FP and Manny- you guys dig yourselves into holes and try to get out of them-- remember I didn't do the digging you both did

U R A PEE-NUT

A pea-NUT. What? Not a wal-NUT? What about a cashew? Common' Clayton- have a real conversation and don't go calling people names

The only time things read that direction are when others go there which I haven't done. But yes, life is just a circle going round and round.

See Anonymous Fans can be smart too. Sometimes being smart is not a good thing according to some people.

Yes Jamel that assumption indeed has been proven incorrect by the majority of ArmchairGM posters.

Receptionist: "Hello, Mr Kettle, it's the Pot calling for you..." Mr Kettle: "Tell him I'll call him back. Jamel and Tyrone were just here telling me why it's important to me, a fictional character on the internet that they are indeed black (even though they are fictional characters as well)..."

So now I'm not black? Yeah, because that little fact has been so tremendously advantageous so far in my life....

you aren't black on the internet. And it doesn't matter to me if you are. I don't even care if you're male or female. You're just a liar until you prove other wise. Oh yeah, I can say this because I'm a millionaire with a 100 foot yacht...

"nothing wrong" isn't the same as "something right" (or "write" if you'd prefer)

Watch out or they will start giving you negative points for not bashing Jamel.

Roblefko--

See your post was going places until you wrote about Leslie-- for the millionth time I defended Leslie- still do- I registered, didn't hide and wrote that I thought Leslie could do as he pleases- but thank-you for the support

Manny have you lost your mind-- who are talking to?

Well "nothing wrong" is all that matters. They did "nothing wrong" in that none of these articles need to be deleted, and neither Jamel nor Tyrone need to be banned for any reason. If people don't like their articles, they should not vote or comment for the articles. I would imagine Jamel and Tyrone would eventually get bored should their articles get no attention, and they'd leave.

That was mentione last week. I don't see that happening. You see both have so many thoughts running wild in their heads that they actually need more than one place to express them all. Don't you feel lucky now?!

Manny what the hell?? "Nothing wrong" isn't the same as "something right"- I'm sorry I didn't know I had to "do right" here. So please, enlighten me of "doing right"-- I want to do right-- I want to please you like no other, I want to do right things to you.. is that better?

I will never leave-- I am like the bug who lives underground for 17 years and comes out to mate-- it is mating time-- watch out!!!!

You know locusts die after 30 days being above ground...right?

Well then I guess the next 30 days will be very interesting-

17 years Cicadas are a delicacy all through the Midwest... fry 'em up... a little crunchy, but yum!

You want to eat me??-- isn't that sound a little gay???

Rob, you're absolutely right. They haven't done anything warranting expulsion, censoring or even putting in the penalty box, but it would be nice to see some of the things being produced instead of being bitched about that it could/should/must be better...

The difference between saying "There's a fire" and doing something about it is great.

The difference between doing something like putting the fire out and putting gasoline on the fire is greater.

You shouldn't play with fire...

Jamel. You want people to accept you, and claim all this hatred and mistreating for being black but you give it back and bash women and gays incessantly. I have a mother and a wife AND a daughter who are women and a dead brother and several friends that are gay. I am very offended and think maybe you should open your closed little mind and realize everything you got in life is exactly what you asked for - you give what you get. Wake up, Grow up. Sports, asshole.

Manny is about as valuable to this blogging service as a worthless over-the-hell punchdrunk ex-boxer that hangs around the gym to clean other people's spit buckets. And he still has to account for physical violence threats against myself and Mr. Smythe. By the way, while all you ingrates argue over pseudo-intellectual superiority with your bogus ivy league credentials, a new post is up.

Did I just get "served?"-- did I just get burnt? Is it "I" who is playing with matches- is it "I" who is flicking matches at gasoline?? Am I the oxygen to the fire? Am I the wood that fuels the fire. Or you the water? The "2" in the H20? Or are you like a firefighter of the blog who puts out fires whereever they might occur?

Am I the hot sun that dries up the grasses of california which ulimately leads to a bush fire?

I need more symbolism to understand your point Manny

"Asshole"???? Since when are we allowed to swear and call each other names??? Ban alert ban alert!!! And when did I make fun of homosexuals?? Or woman in fact? Are you against cheerleaders??

Hey you listened when I called your name! Some things still do work Sports Sports Sports

Where do you get off calling me an "asshole"??? That's not nice.

that's usually what I have to call people after I say to them over and oveer "You're being an asshole" in a Sports forum by bashing gays women and making it out to seem like everything is stacked against you when you're the one putting the pile on top of yourself... yeah, asshole works well Where do you get off in taking offense to it if it isn't true?

So you can go around blantly calling me names and I'm not suppose to take offense to it?? It's one thing to write a column like Tyrone did without using names and assuming he is talking about you but you went straight out an called by a horrible name. And I am still wondering where I offended gay people- lastly- "where do you get off in taking offense to it if it isn't true?"- I have to ask it then: Are you gay?

There was an even bigger one today. Overall, nothing important really happened
