I just wish some of the Celticsbloggers would show that same class as the men who wear the green themselves.

If posters are "laughing" at me, and insulting me and my ideas what exactly am I supposed to think?

Ok I understand what you are talking about.   

When those 2 threads were closed I thought that it was an insult to me because nobody believed what I was talking about.  So now I understand it wasn't only because of what I wrote, it was what other posters were doing as well.   

Because when that ORL-CLE thread got closed I thought it was because people couldn't handle the fact that the Cavs lost.
And when this thread got closed I thought it was because people think I have no chance to be a great basketball player.

Although closing the thread may look to other posters that I was the one in the wrong.  Not that I am trying to persuade other posters to believe certain things, but I do believe that overall people are negative to people who have new or different ideas from the mainstream.

I do feel that if I went up to Doc, or Kevin, or Paul, or Rajon that they wouldn't treat me like those posters did, and would actually encourage me to play.  That is why I am a Celtics fan, and do believe that I may try for an organized team eventually, because I know that if I went up to Danny or Doc they would respect me and want me to succeed. And if I really wasn't a good basketball player they would let me see that on the court, instead of how these other posters are criticizing my game and my ideas without even seeing me play.  That is why I think the Celtics are the right team and the right guys for basketball and for sports.  I just wish some of the Celticsbloggers would show that same class as the men who wear the green themselves.   

sure we encourage you to play. play in a rec league or something, play pickup with your friends.

But do you understand just out impossible it would be for a guy who never played highschool ball even, to make it to the d-league? To even get paid a pittance to play basketball? I mean that's the type of stuff they make movies about, its so impossible.

So what.  Do you want me to tell you all the "impossible" things I've already done in my life?    What did Kevin Garnett say "anything is possible".  That is what KG said.  And I'm supposed to just believe what all these other people say about me, a person they know nothing about? That is exactly what I am talking about.  Kevin Garnett wouldn't tell me that.

ok. agree to disagree.

But remember, kevin garnett said "anything is possible" after he, a former MVP, current defensive player of the year, probable first ballot hall of famer won that NBA title. That's how tough it is in the NBA. Even a MVP needs a supporting cast to win a title, and college players of the year sometimes don't even make the final roster cut, or sit the bench as cheerleaders.

Roy, can you see that it is not me redebating the original thread.  It is other posters continually responding to my original statements and discrediting them and criticizing them.  I'm not responding to anyone's original thoughts or statements.   I am reading the stuff that other people are writing about what I originally said, and it seems as if they are the ones not abiding by the rules.

If you think that what I or Edgar wrote are violations of the rules, then you don't understand the rules.

I understand what you're saying, in that you're responding to other people's posts in here.  That being said, I think it's best for all of us to drop the subject, as such debates aren't really the point of this thread (that goes for everyone, of course, not just you.)

Well its Indeed & Edgar who are the ones redebating the original issue, which Roy said not to do, and it is not what I was doing either.   I was done posting until someone wrote I am implying that CB bloggers are classless and it is not what I wrote.   I said I wish they would show the same class as the players.  To me that means the players are really classy, it does not mean the bloggers are classless.   You take it as the bloggers being classless because again, you spin what I wrote to make it seem like something negative when it is nothing of the sort.

Oh my god. You're obviously doing that.

That is the comment, take it how you want to.    Don't tell me what I'm trying to say.  If you can't live up to the expectations that the Celtics players live up to, that is your choice.  If you want to take it negatively go ahead.  That is not what I wrote.  Nobody can spin my words.

Oh really? I'm supposed to be the one who doesn't have talent to play basketball like the pros.  Yet when I say that bloggers aren't showing the same class as the Celtics, that is taken as an insult to them.  And they are the ones insulting me telling me that I can't play like the pros.    Now don't you see the contradiction.  Its ok to insult me, yet when I make a statement that says the bloggers aren't showing the same class as the Celtics, its supposed to be an insult to them.   I don't think so.   Just another example of spinning a positive statement into a negative statement.
