Iconic posters from the early days

There was a poster Brian2001 who was a huge Walt Harris fan way back when that drove me nuts. I have come to appreciate Vadar for what he is. He toned down the rhetoric and hyperbole and now sticks more to giving the information and let the reader decide. I like that. SteeCurtain was one of my least favorites too. And that damn Chris Peak. What a jerk!!!

who was the dude who ended up pimping his kids out? Went to jail for being a pedophile. he actually was a good hoops poster..
Windell. I knew him. Sat behind me at Pitt Stadium. Didn’t pimp his kids out but spent some time in the slammer for kiddy porn.

I am going with the regulars old dudes who have seen it all : DT, Chair, Harve, NTOP, Crazy Paci, and Matt. They have been around as long as I have. There are some guys that have gone away. I liked HGP even though he became controversial
Now I like BballInsider, Drew, and love Poker’s craziness.
Is Drew Drew Freund from West Va? He used to post on here a lot. Claimed to have inside info.
 
TicoCooperfan
JPRipper
tiredRam

3 that come to mind for whatever reason.

Yeah Peak thinks he run this place.
 
He doesn’t bother me. He has never been a dick to me. I can’t stand posters that just talk crap about what you post but don’t offer any actual insight of their own. Basically about the 10 or so trolls I have on ignore on this board.
Literally that is how I would characterize him. If you present a factual reply that contradicts what he has said he never admits it then just pivots to some other meaningless information. I at least understand guys like Poker and Kenny who don’t hear what you have responded with and continue to keep stating their belief because they have absolute passion. SMF doesn’t have passion. He has just made up this world in which he thinks he has high levels of knowledge. He just simply doesnt. There are a few guys that stand out to me with knowledge that seems to be always spot on and never negative. BethlehemJohn and thirteennine. There are probably others particularly on football side but maybe there are a lot of others there so the football guys don’t stand out as much. Hate to say it but there are not deep knowledge hoops guys here and so the really good ones shine.

Thirteen Nine is outstanding.
 
Only liking posters who never post something negative or you don’t agree with says more about you than the posters you don’t like.

Plenty of posters I like and disagree with and will engage here and In other mediums
Not sure who you are replying to. For me I like a lot of posters I disagree with because they have true passion in their stance and it’s easy to like that.

I dislike arrogance of any kind in a poster whether they are stating a position I agree with or disagree with.

There are a lot of posters who are absolutely pure in their posts. They are great. Others who have a contrary agenda to what this board is I will just say I am very skeptical about.

There once was a guy COEngr who disliked the thought that basketball was going to replace football and posted lots of crazy stuff. I became semi friendly with him. But he got banned at one point and started asking me to post responses to hoops messages in his name. Not gonna do that.

And you’re obsessed with me
 
I recall Shrugged in Atlas or something like that. Seemed to have some good info. Perhaps more on the football side of things.
OMG that guy had the worst posts to read. I felt like he was writing like he was from the 1800's. It went on and on and I didn't understand much of what he was writing.

Remember Goldbergfan? He hated SMF. There was mvk112, QuitCallingMeWanny.

I will just say this. Lots of times I see a story on the news and something just doesn’t add up from what they report. But it stays in the cycle for days and weeks. Then all of a sudden the original info changes and we find out someone lied or something didn’t happen that way. I sincerely pick these things out on a regular basis.

I will just say there is something about you that does not add up in “your story”. I will leave it at that. But do note I think there are a lot of others on this board that have the same doubts about you.

I think you exaggerate your level of importance. Honesty is always an admirable trait.

mvk is still very present on this board. IYKYK but I’m not gonna say who it is. Someone trolled him constantly and posted his real name on several occasions.

Agree Rocky. I only ignore 1 person on the free board and it's that twat King of all Message Boards douche. It's been great ever since I put him on ignore because he literally would just reply to post after post I made and argue with me. That's literally all he did and it got to the point where it got tiring and completely unproductive. So aside from Phil and his daily bunch of handles the free board is so much better for me not caring or having to read King's posts to me or about me. He's been on ignore for over a year now and I'll never take him off.
 
There was also a HughGreen99 or something handle and I liked his posts. I think he hasn't been on here for a few years now.

This isn’t even remotely true. I defended this dude on his polls when people gave him an hard time and many other things that people said to him. He just can’t take it unless all he gets is likes and praise.

He just whined about how special sauce liked six of his posts then said something critical a day later. Thin skinned.

Miss ya buddy.

Oh really? Well believe me, that is the exception rather than the rule. It's usually him going at me for 1 thing or another or attacking me or making fun of me. Trust me. I don't ignore too many people but it was almost non-stop with that guy.

Nope. I even said to him at one point we’re more similar in some ways than he’d even believe.

There have been plenty of other who’ve had goes with poker to the point message board tough guy stuff started.

I don’t think I’m important at all. Thanks for being obsessed with me though. Your message to the moderators was funny

I think you are mistaken and if you got proof then put it out there. Or even tell us your doubts. Or leave the dude alone. I can tell you he has connections and knows ppl. This is the crap I hate. When someone like you start hating for no reason and then informed posters get sick of it and leave. I know of other good posters that just quit this board because they got hated on for no reason. So tell your story or whatever or don’t throw something about another poster out there. Really Chris and Jim this crap should be moderated!!!!

I have no information. Just doubts. If he is connected fine. But that doesn’t mean I think his behavior on this board is above criticism. Attacking the Diaz Graham brothers. Going beyond the pale on the coaching staff personally. Is that acceptable behavior from someone in the business?

1. I’m not coaching anywhere, I’m in a different aspect of basketball right now
2. I’m a Pitt fan
3. This is a message board. There’s no acceptable business as fans.
4. I don’t attack the Diaz Graham’s. I just don’t think they’re good. Big difference. Seem like great kids
5. Why does my opinion of anyone on the team or staff bother you so much? It’s odd
