Pop subtly recruiting LeBron

[SAGirl]

My apologies Mr. Jones. I stopped posting in the political forum 1 or 2 years ago because peeps there were so hateful and vindictive. Someone there (I have my hunch on who it was based on the fact that I was calling out his fuzzy math), had the audacity to look me up - call my employer and tell them I was posting on a public blog/forum during work hours.

They attempted to get me fired from my day job. Of course my employer blew them off because I manage to produce at a very high level for them regardless of how I decide to spend my time (even giving me the flexibility to work from home if I so desired). The point is that the liberal, atheist peeps in that sub-forum can't stand people with different viewpoints. To go out of their way to do that is rather telling. It crosses a line.

I have to protect my family, my children, my home, my livelihood... and if peeps here can't keep their own anger contained, that they would be willing to mess with someone else like that - it's de able, petty, and shameless.

As an aside, Politics and Spurs is a thing now... Blame Pop for trying to change the focal point of the Spurs Organization away from basketball operations and towards activist endorsement of the Democratic Party.

Wow. Well said and wow at whoever attempted to mess up with you personally in thay way... That's not just petty and vindictive but There's an element of cyberbullying in this forum since its unmoderated without any control.

I was going to reply to Ed Helicopter that Pop's belief in freedom of speech and the first amendment has invited political and social discussion in forums normally not directed at audiences that what to talk about those things but then I saw your post and figured you had it covered. I detest talking politics personally, like talking religion, you basically aren't going to persuade anyone but those that were already inclined to your beliefs and for the rest there's just a lot of asinine and waste of time, effort and getting in a bad mood. I am too cynical maybe... And that's fine by me.

That's my hunch, because when that event played out he and I were caught up in a week long "debate" over the merits of an article --> which (inexplicably, and to everyone's surprise ) morphed into an atheism vs. theism discussion. Tbh, I'm glad I don't post there anymore. People refuse to be civil and make everything an ego match. In the real world (outside of the cyberworld) I have many friends that are agnostics and some even atheist - I try and treat folks like I want to be treated (regardless if they reciprocate). Behind the anonymity of a username, however, folks here are emboldened to behave bullishly. Frankly it's not worth the time to deal with unnecessary spite. There comes a point where stubbornness becomes foolishness.

Anyways, that incident was the straw that broke the camel's back. I have no need to value myself based on the ridiculous and petty desire to have others agree with my own viewpoints/opinions. Some here, however, live for that.

Sorry to hear that you had to go through that Phenomanul. This place should be fun...not full of BS like that.

It's easy for people to hide behind their screen names. Makes a lot of people who are otherwise weak and cowardly, pretty bold, arrogant and aggressive.

Yeah the level of hostility in that sub-forum is crazy. Real hatred is flung around without a care of civility. The dynamic that led to the extreme polarization we see in the country today, has been present in that sub-forum since I can remember.

thanks for sharing... not surprised.
I have said all along the rumors about him to the Spurs were more media chatter than anything realistic.


What I do hope is that the Spurs look at that and don't decide standing pat is the way to go just bc they can't get Lebron. Though I think this season they can't afford it.. they again have a lot of FA of their own and perhaps Manu is retiring one doesn't know, but it's a possibility. Spurs have to be on the lookout for their next iteration anyways.

Have a feeling he's Rockets bound. Harden, CP3, LeBron and another all-star is to tempting for James.
