2017 Annual JazzFanz Current Players NBA Draft

Ron Mexico said:
Small price to pay for elite rim protection. 4.4 blocks per 100 possessions. 25.2 PER. Plus he was even better in the playoffs at 26.9 PER and 74% TS%. Held opponents to shooting percentage. He gives me another elite rim protector behind Embiid who was near the top, if not the top, of the NBA at rim protection. Easy oop target as well.

He is my Gobert light coming off the bench.

No doubt.
But I think how you disagree with someone, how often you disagree with someone, and even how often you are agreeable/kind with someone matters as well.

You and I disagree on things. Ron mexico and I disagree on things. Stoked and I disagree on things. Franklin and I disagree on things. White chocolate and I disagree on things. Etc etc etc. I understand that is part of being in a message board. I have never asked you or any of those others (except maybe naos) to discontinue having a dialogue with me.

When I get a quote notification on my phone JTT is the #2 person that I'm hoping that the notification isn't from.

I would rather have a discussion with dutch, boris, north Colorado, etc than with JTT.
I saw that JTT said that he welcomes disagreements so that he can grow or learn or become better or whatever. Well I wonder if this is one of those opportunities for him to learn that maybe sometimes he needs to dial it back a bit with some people or spread some positivity and happiness to certain posters once in a while.

Anywho, you and I disagree from time to time but we are still cool. Same thing with many other posters. Since it doesn't feel personal in those interactions and I know that most of your posts aren't of a negative critical nature towards me.

I agree with fish on a lot of this. What JTT is doing isn't wrong or against the rules but it certainly isn't nice. I've said it. WC had said it. And now fish had said it. It seems to me that you can choose to do 2 things when replying to someone. You can choose to attack or be as abrasive or negative or mean spirited as possible at every given opportunity or you can choose to be rasonable and kind and to me someone like JTT more often than not always chooses the former while somebody like fish always chooses the latter.


Again it's not wrong or against any rules as it's a message board and everyone is different and can have an opinion but it's certainly not nice to always try to be negative. There is a way in voicing your opinion and still be nice imo. Fish does this all the time. Ron Mex also does it... there are many examples.


In the past I had put JTT on ignore for this reason but I've decided against it now and to just more often than not 'ignore' a lot of his comments or skim past it. Kind of like that workmate you don't really get along with, you only converse with him when it's work related.


I feel you fish. And to JTT, like fish said, I hope this is an opportunity for you to examine what you say to someone even on a message board such as this. It never hurts to be nice and makes this a more pleasant place. You may say 'what makes the JR 35% the straw that broke the camel's back?' I don't think that really matters. What matters is you take people's feedback and see if you can make a change within yourself that makes the community around you a better place.


Just my 2 cents.

I'm gonna be honest with you. Your attitude has changed a lot after becoming a daddy. Don't strain yourself this much.
 
Where the hell have I attacked anybody?

If I disagree with you, that is not an attack on you, it is a disagreement with an opinion.

This is a message board. People post opinions. If I disagree with one of them, am I not allowed to voice that because you might view it as negative? Are we going to have a positive only board? That sounds realistic.

I've complimented picks and teams multiple times in this thread. I've disagreed with opinions on players in this thread. Nowhere have I attacked anybody. Nowhere have I been "mean" to anybody. If you're going to accuse me of that crap, you better be coming with facts and links.

I'm just baffled at the idea of somebody disagreeing being a personal attack. How do you all deal with your bosses when they critique your work?
