    If it were a legitimate news source I would have started a new thread when I posted THE EXACT SAME ARTICLE FIVE MINUTES EARLIER. In the world you come from, logic and common sense don't matter.l
    Blah blah blah. Go back to your 'defending,' blowhard. Sorry I don't buy the 'logic' that you get to decide what can and cannot be posted. The guy thought it was a scoop and posted it. If you feel like thats license to be an asshole then more power to you.

    "The guy thought it was a scoop and posted it. If you feel like thats license to be an asshole then more power to you."

    Very well said. Instead of endlessly berating him, even "fail" pictures multiple pages in, we should point him to the FAQ or be on our way not giving a .

    The forum will still be a-okay with a few worthless threads floating around.

    Youve been failing to grasp a lot. Its pretty obvious that youre wanting to be intentionally obtuse.

    As for the latter. You can infinitley regress all day long but at the end of the day I fail to see how saying that applying a negative to the statement attributes doubt. You're inferring something that isn't there although he does agree with Hume's views on knowledge and causality when push comes to shove.
    It's not infinite regression. It's required by logic. In mathematics, we often use proof by contradiction. Bertrand Russell certainly accepted that two mutually exclusive propostions (a thesis and its an hesis) could not both be true. So, the statements I made are ones that are logically true.

    The denial of the existence of causal relationships is problematic.
    The epistemology of causality is something else.

    Logic applies in the area of epistemology as it does elsewhere.

    I don't decide anything, I simply make fun of idiots that don't think before they post. The guy thought it was a scoop because he didn't care enough to even read what was on the board.

    No, its because he thought that his source was legitimate. I still think that your awesomesauce for your board defender of the community that cares routine. There is no thread on the front page that says the Spurs signed McDyess.

    Read the last couple of pages of a related thread before you post.
    And don't start a thread with trash like Hoopsworld.

    And don't cry for those who make that mistake.

    What a dramaqueen !

    Um, that's because they didn't. Even after the incorrect news article that the OP reposted.

    I don't think I was the first person to bring up "community", I simply used it against the person who brought it up.

    Yeah, we care about the board that we post at.

    And if you don't, then don't post here.


    In case you haven't figured it out, the reason why there isn't (other than this idiotic thread) a thread which says that the Spurs have signed McDyess is because there isn't a reliable source which says so outside of the forum and Hoopsworld (and which doesn't quote Hoopsworld).

    Remember when you called me an idiot for bumping 'threads like this' to the top of the forum. Think about the irony of that statement. Isn't it delicious?

    Keep going though I'm finding this amusing, board defender who cares.

    And making fun of the stupid ones, yeah. That's our right.
    Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with doing it. You have the right to act like a complete jerk, but you shouldn't act like a complete jerk, correct?

    The premise of your statement is that authorities completely determine how people should behave. Every action is either prohibited or mandated by some regulating authority, and individuals have no responsibility for regulating themselves.

    You should really stop referring to me that way. I'm the guy calling dumbasses dumbasses in a trash thread that's going to keep you occupied while we talk about basketball in the legitimate threads.

    Dumbass.

    It's not just a couple of people who think that this was a stupid thread to start and that it's generally better if we have fewer stupid threads rather than more and/or avoid having 20 threads about one free agent - 18 of which are rumors/trash/speculation.

    just fyi.

    No, if that were the premise of my statement then I would be in here defending the moron who started this thread with already-posted and inaccurate information. If someone's going to come in here saying the OP has the right to post whatever he wants, then I'm en led to the same defense. If they aren't en led to post whatever they want, I'm still pretty confident that I have the leeway to make fun of them or defend myself.

    Your record of my hypocrisy is about as strong as the sources on the news story in the OP. Bumping this thread is fine as long as nobody's starting new ones. The mods have done their job by altering the thread le to accurately cite the dubious source. The rest of this is just all of us having fun, mainly at your expense since the OP seems to have disappeared.

    You're right. People have the right to post stupid, redundant threads in the forum.

    But keep in mind:

    * the mods have the right to merge/delete them

    * other posters also have the right to give the people starting stupid redundant threads about it

    Now, this seems like a foolish assertion on your part.

    Norms are established through similar processes in many different environments.
    There is no implication that every action is either prohibited or mandated.
    There is an implication that some behaviors are preferred to others.
    Why that translates to a universal conclusion, I'll never know and you'll never prove.

    And why one can't believe that the authorities here (Kori and timvp) have some actions that they prohibit and others that they prefer don't occur but won't always prevent or impose consequences upon violators is a complete mystery. Based upon the faqs, they - the authorities prefer (and many users prefer) that this type of thread not be started.

    And within a hierarchical structure, there is a formal authority often and then there are group norms which are established. These norms aren't rules with consequences, but standards of behavior that members prefer, recommend and encourage.

    People who were actually following the information saw the article when I posted it in the thread. It wasn't five pages deep, it was on the last page, which is where the latest information is.

    If people learned how to use a goddamn message board then other people wouldn't have to play forum police all the ing time. The only thing I like less than having to do that is to have to defend it from idiots like you that wade in, bumping the thread with useless opinions about it.

    I must say you are pure awesomesauce, board defender. I really like the part where I'm the idiot yet you cannot even keep up with what you say yourself.
