Hey Jason thats fine if you dont block him I understand that. But come on you all have to understand that is insane. I mean we are all from the same country and we have people dying right now and he makes a comment like that. I hardly come here to gain respect from any of you...I just do it to have fun and stir things up. It keeps the board active. If a message board had everone talk about things and no one disagreed what fun would htat be. I always play devils advocate, but truth be told what you guys say is the truth most of the time but I have to play devils advocate just for some fun...But that comment took it way way wya overboard, and I feel sad that you would have to wish that on someone....

I agree...it was totally insensitive, and almost inhuman.
I think most of us normally functioning humans can agree that even if Bruce Pearl made up everything (Again, this is just an example) and attempted to rough up Illinois purely for personal gain, that we don't wish death on him. We wouldn't want him in the sport, and we wouldn't want him near our families, but we certainly wouldn't wish death.
And to take it an extra level and bring in a disease that is killing millions of innocent people in Africa is quite a bit overboard. It's really too late to remove the comment...the rest of this thread is all about it, and everyone knows...but trust me when I say that I am as taken aback and saddened as you are.

Jason,
I thought you were going to lock the thread if it came up again, yet here come Horizonleaguer continuing to stir up crap.
It is a shame that UWM is allowed to run this board.
Reminds me of the old board that allowed UWM posters to take over.

Hey Recorder boy,
Chill out.. I was making a point. I was making a point that I would hope you would agree with as well. I am not trying to run the board by any means. I realize that you may not like me, but oyu know what this is just basketball, I love basketball and love debating it and tlaking s@#! about it. When it comes down to it though, its just a sport and I am sure many of us on here are professionals with actual careers and really basketball is not top priority....Wishing someone death went way overboard. I am done talking about that. I want you all to know though I am just on here to have fun and its nothing personal with any of you, so just take a chill pill and enjoy the ride

You know, there's no need to police each other and just bicker back and forth like babies. You all know I have said plenty of nasty things to Horizon Leaguer. I just thought he made a great point about the unnecessary severity of that post. Since it's an issue, we'll stop talking about it.
