What's new

New jazz fan here!

Many times on this board I have seen "new" Jazz fans disparaged, discouraged from posting, and otherwise treated as frauds because they did not come from Utah, had not been "life-long" Jazz fans, etc. PK's comment had merit. Why do some posters around here try to make it hard for others to be fans? Why discourage newcomers?

Do you feel like I was being disparaging, or discouraging?
 
To be fair, the other comments were relevant to the discussion - not cool or necessarily accurate, just relevant. You'll notice I didn't make any noise about the Fatty Majerus comment (I realize you weren't the one who made it...). I'm sure you've noticed that this board isn't exactly a kumbaya campfire.

None of them are. (visit catspause.com for a crash course in bringing it, LOL) Again, thanks Bronc. We'll see each other many times in the future, we'll agree some, disagree some, but I only hope we do so on the same team.

Naw, Bronc. I don't see why you would consider PK to be a troll, just for commenting that some fans seem to try to discourage others. That was the point of my last comment, not something you said or did. I don't think you were trying to discourage him. But I do think he made a valid point that was not simply "trolling."

I don't consider him a troll. But that comment, in that context... seemed to be for the sole purpose of provocation. Look, I read the thread. I know he was taking a lot of crap. And I already proposed that I may be wrong. That's why I commented the way I did, instead of going ape**** like so many do. I didn't flag the post. I didn't ring him up. I made a comment in the most civil way I possibly could have. And we are on good terms now.

Is that not enough? What will it take for you to be satisfied, Hopper?
 
YEAH, c'mon Hopper ... ??

I have a feelin' Bronc and I are gonna agree on something reeeeal soon, you'll see!

Who said I'm dissatisfied? I just tried to answer your question, that's all. For the record, I aint wantin no truck with them no-teeth-havin Kintucky fans, but that aint what this here board is about so PK is OK with me. Now, if he gitz to talkin up KY, him and me, we might have us some disputes. But, until then...

not that it matters here any, or is even relevant, but I got a kick out of the "kumbaya" reference

made me smile, ya know?
 
Just facts. I can give you laugh points.

There's facts and there's the smell test.

Whatever the case, we both need to see the Lifetime Movie starring washed up Ray Liotta and four fingers out of the grave Michael Madsen duking it out as Cal and Pit in a film that hopefully has Satanic underpinnings. I'm so sure of the importance of this film that I'll grant you a couple of Kentucky championships if it will just please, prettyplease happen.
 
So, so curious now. What cbb team you're a fan of? Don't tell me "none" .. you'll be lying. Spill it.
 
Boston College
Clemson
Fl St.
Ga Tech
UM turtles
Miami
NC St
UV
VT
WFU

Not sure what you mean by powerhouse, but I have respect for ALL these schools.
 
Duke's a possibility. I'm going to guess Boston College. billyshelby was a close follower of Howard Eisley's career and ended up sticking with the Jazz after Eisley left.

I had to move to Utah 5 years ago.. Everyone I work with is a Jazz fan (and I do like the people I work with), and after 5 years I decided to TRY to like the Jazz so I could talk the talk around here.

So ... I get on a major Jazz message board and all is fine until I mention being a UK fan. Pieces of ish now just wanna be holier than thou.

I would LOVE to have the backing of the BIG BLUE descend on their pompous asses. Two cat fans (cincyjazz is the other) taking ****.

My screen name there is PKM. (starting page 2)
