Word.Mouse, after listening to you on the radio, I take back everything bad I've said about you on this site and apologize to you.
You are legit.
Mouse = Radio & Online GOD
The first problem I had with them was that someone was allowed to be a mod who made blatantly anti-Semitic threads all the time. The other main issue was with mods who had double iden ies there and did awful things under their alias screen names and nothing was done about it.
That's been going on there for years. I don't really want to get that much into it, but worse yet, they sometimes even post under other people's user names pretending to be them (for example,it would be like me logging in as ploto in your actual account and posting as you). I have some pretty horrible things screen captured that they posted under some poster's names from years ago.
I sincerely wish them the best in whatever it is they are trying to do, but they really hurt a lot of people in some of their behavior. It's "just a message board" but sometimes things get a little deeper than that.
I welcomed a lot of people to my house years ago. And then when LJ and I were dismissed from that site, a lot of those people just assumed that we had done something horrible to warrant it. To this day, I still don't know what we did. It was never explained to me. I just was given a "you should know what you did" speech over and over, then I heard/read a bunch of very upsetting personal things (lies) that were being said about LJ and I.
If you have been to my house 10+ times, ate my food and drank my beer, why not a courtesy phone call to say to ask me what's going on?
It was okay though. The people who were actually my friends are still my friends, I suppose.
It's just funny to me that I haven't cared much about SR in years. I do my best to stop the bashing of SR here (even if some of it is warranted), but many of them still say nasty things about me. It actually really hurt me for a long time, but that was many years ago. I don't really care that much anymore.
Kori,
I can relate to a lot of what you say.
I had never known what it was like to be HATED this intensely before SR.com. I had lived on this Earth for 40+ years and generally gotten along with everyone.
Then something strange happened. To this day, I never understood why. We've all talked trash on the Internet, but that was kind of fun until they turned it so profoundly ugly.
Like you, I was hurt by it. But also like you, I've grown and learned to let it go.
I believe it is a relative few there who love to hate. I'll bet we can count them on one hand.
But if we hate them too, they win. And we lose and become pathetic.
I choose to forgive them and forgive myself, regardless of whether they will ever cease this behavior.
And I also know there are good people there and the haters are deep down, somewhere, somehow, good people. They just haven't learned to act that way yet.
SpursTalk.com has always taken the high road. That is a tribute to you, L.J. and everyone who posts here. I know a few of the outrageous slurs that have been hurled your way. For you to handle this with the grace that you have speaks volumes about your character.
It's all good.
Chris
Thanks Chris.
Remember when they sent out that mass email claiming that they were sueing us (you and I together for some reason)?I never understand that one.
This should be made into a movie!
The War of the Boards.This should be made into a movie!
Tom Cruise will play Chris Duel.
When I was still living in Austin, I stumbled upon SR.com. I was lucky enough to have a job where I could do nothing but be on the internet all day long. The forum was very fun and I grew to enjoy reading several of the poster's posts on a daily basis, and for hours and hours at a time. My goal of the work day wasn't to get work done, but to post at least 5 times daily so I could increase my post count so I could be considered part of this genuinely interesting group. It was exciting.
Exodus happened.
I noticed a slight change at first, but thought, "hmmmm....maybe these posters are just missing in action". More and more started leaving and it ing hit me. Most, no, ALL people that left were my favorite posters that I liked reading. All the intelligent, insightful, funny opinions were no longer available. There was no more Kori, no more Timvp, no SpursWoman, no mouse, no GhostWriter, Aggie, MarcusBryant, baselinebum, no SolidD, and numerous others were nowhere to be found.
I don't know what happened to cause the rift. I don't care.
No disrespect to Mr. Duel, but I have never heard his show, and I don't know too much about him. But it's the members on this team that make this site worth visiting and contributing to. It's the members, including Chris Duel that make SpursTalk the best NBA message board on the net.
Every member, from KoriEllis to SporkDynasty!
I am here for good.
I was thinking more like "Fried Green Tamales"
Starring Lady Spur

How about 'Deep Impact' ........since that is what the program director at the Ticket feels with this new ESPN show!This should be made into a movie!
Somehow picturing DizzG trying to keep Dusty happy with the latest scandal @ SR
Broke Back mountain seems comes to mind.
I jumped ship from Spurs report....I was lost, but now I found my way here to Spurstalk and am damnglad I did. This fourm kicks ass....
I like the way DizzG doesn't admit ladySpur made the first negative comment!
His precious moderator.
THEY REMOVED THE SECOND ONE ALSO
Long, long time ago I remember when the boys at clutchcity were poking fun of SR for copying clutchcity's layout and feature set almost down to the pixel. I think it was just gentle ribbing at first, but the giggles soon turned into guffaws when the great legend-in-his-own-mind himself threatened to sue if they didn't stop making fun of him.Remember when they sent out that mass email claiming that they were sueing us (you and I together for some reason)?
I don't know about SR's current feud with ST, but I'm guessing they're just dead jealous over there. They're getting their asses handed to 'em in the website dept, and when you add radio in the mix that's gotta be a little frustrating for them. Didn't the owner take a stab at a career in radio and fail miserably? Certainly one of the dorkiest voices I've ever heard foul the airwaves.

spursreport
eeee I'm just testing
I'm on the bright side, but still somwhere covered by a crowd.
Wait ... TPark didn't called me a face?
Even from the dude that didn't like your Luby's joke?
^^ That could be the first "Heckler With 25 Dead Friends In Killeen" referrence in ST history.
You'd think people would have better things to do with their time right Hantler?
....and traumatized your dogs...
We were all good friends and had a lot of fun together, and it's very sad that things turned out the way they did.
This is more epic then the Civil war, I gotta catch up on my Spurs message board history.
so is this all cuz dusty got his unrequited love feelings hurt when Kori and LJ hooked up and also cuz DizzG had a sexual seduction upstairs at Kori's house?
jackhammah!
No!
Anyway ...
Let's just wish them well and leave it at that.
Wow you go way back! Remember when someone at spurs central did a wall paper with one of the spurs as a star wars figure and all broke lose when SR claimed they had the rights to any Star wars spurs wallpapers?
