    no, i know you at least a little bit from CL, i just think of you as the local troll lol. and you make a good point, of us signing white players even though they might not have deserved it. i guess it just seems like its been a lot lately and it gets annoying, especially cause it catches on and it seems like others start posting about it too. i do appreciate your trolling, even though it annoys me sometimes. keep doing you, but thanks for considering :)

    Haha... that brings back memories. Pistol was only white on the surface. That game was pure chocolate on the inside.

    well the thing is it's not always the truth

    and thats what racist stereotypes are anyways. generalizations based on something that is sometimes true.

    Aww geez. Surely you see the comments from "brothers" on LB too, and no one gets tensed up over it. All in good fun I'm sure from those making em on both sides. If real racist crap rears its head, have you ever seen the "gestapo" group of mods that run this place jump in someone's s***?

    Yeah... what's the deal with this? I'm black and I couldn't care less about what he's posted here.

    Stereotypes vs offense. They are two different things unless it's a "protected social class". The fallout of the PC movement.

    I say if we can have a "music" thread with all sorts of swearing, sexist overtones and words that are very frowned upon socially we can tolerate SirronStuff's harmless humor. Just me however.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. There will always be limits with something like this where it can go from funny and good natured to potentially offensive to someone. I think it's appropriate to be aware of new members joining daily that don't have a reference point for context.

    I respect all of you and the guys running the site, so if one person says its a bit much, it may be for someone else too. I'd rather err on the side of caution. Besides, I do have a history of pushing the envelope a little :)

    Thanks, and I can't help but let it continue, but within the context of contributing to the type of community we all want it to be. One that all fans would like to be apart of. This is a great example of a community that can actually self regulate. We should all be willing to take constructive criticism from our peers and respond appropriately. We have an awesome community here, and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow once the season hits. Thanks again for the feedback.

    If Wallace gets out of Philly, I'd like to nab him if he's not dead set on joining a contender. We still really need help at the 3 and another solid vet leader.

    His name is easy to pronounce. It's long, sure, but easy. Papa-Niko-Lahu.
