GeeWiz played a part in getting the dolts banned...this is huge in my eyes as I was about to leave ISH forever because of a majority of the idiots mentioned in his OT thread
for this young Wiz...you rate highly

I was so happy when we got rid of tmacman yesterday. I reported him once, and Jeff didn't do anything. Then I just went off on Jeff on one of his threads about unregistered people, and he finally banned him.
Anyways, Geewiz deserve some credit on getting those morons out of the board.

I think it's good for the community to constantly let each other know what we think of each other. I certainly don't think it's form of asskissing besides a couple of idiots here and there, but overall these threads are pretty cool.

There is other than assskissing here if you read carefully. But OK, here you go.
You are obviously intelligent and matured a lot sooner than your age. It did you many good and many bad things.
Speaking of the bad, you acquired the 'Shogon-syndrome' along the way. Young guys with that syndrome have a tendency to think that because they are more knowledgable than their contemporaries and their environment, they are also the sh!t, and noone knows anything better than them. Your worst period was 1-2 years ago, and now you are starting to heal. It's a long process though. I know, because I also had the Shogon-syndrome when I was a teenager.
Sometimes you want to argue things with intelligence that cannot be argued using intelligence. Experience is a nice example. Knowing the facts is another. You are smart, but you let your smarts convince you that because of it you also always know better. Sometimes you're right, at other times not really.
You also are not very good at admitting that guys inferior to you in the IQ-department may add valuable thoughts to a discussion, too. Pretty often the most interesting arguments come from guys who are not the smartest. Sometime down the road you'll have to incorporate others' thoughts and suggestions into your train of thought. It will make you a lot more wise and intelligent.
You are very talented, but talent alone can only take you this much. You've got to learn how to use your skills properly. Once you do, sky is the limit. Until then, you shoot yourself out of the game.

I would just appreciated if he didn't talk out of his a** so often. It's annoying when he voices his opinion on a player or team he doesn't know.

That's what I was referring to when saying GeeWiz thinks he can win over facts with intelligence. This is also the reason why the world fails to admit he is a genius, as he often comes accross as being cocky. I think neither him or Shogon are really cocky, but both of them are a bit frustrated, because they haven't yet learned how to communicate at a level their existing intelligence puts them on. Therefore the world is rude to them when not agreeing with them, all the while they are obviously intelligent. And so on. It's a vicious cycle.
Feedbacks are nice.

I guess that explains why I was hating on the guy a couple of months ago.
Anybody wanna rate me?

Jailblazers 7 is a potential solid pro in the mold of George Lynch, a slow three or undersized four who can give quality minutes in the right system. JBSev has a decent motor, is very coachable, and displays a high basketball IQ.
strengths:
decent range on his jump shot, good first step, nice up and under, good hands, finishes around the hoop, tough on the ball defender and a good feel for the game.
weaknesses:
tweener slow footed 3, undersized 4, not a lot of athleticism, short arms.

Hey ill take George Lynch i loved him back in his Sixers days and he was a beast at UNC.
I appreciate the condescending essay elementally. perhaps you can later adopt me and be my father and give me that **** on a daily basis.
do you people honestly think this is the best I can do? I mean really? like, if my personal reputation was actually on the line I would think so little before I type? no becaues its a message board and I'm not interested in "FEEDBACK."

that said this is really the only part of your expose I really think is actually wrong. when is the last time an average poster has actually made an interesting argument? half of them are made by Kblaze. then there's WigNosy. DeuceWallaces on OT stuff. Kwajo's creativity and sense of humor. Gobb's endless wit. Loki. those are really the only guys I consider "above me." and NOT coincidentally, those guys are responsible for probably 80% of ISH's greatest moments/posts in the last year or so. show me the average poster who makes the great arguments cause I don't see it. I see good discussion from guys on "my level" (there are about 20-30 of them). sometimes I learn things from these guys. but nothing GREAT. nothing that really challenges me. the great moments come from great posters.
average posters make average posts. the kind of posts that outline facts in a response, I read, go "yep" and move on. sometimes it contains something I didn't know but not often. usually they're valuable for their perspective whatever it might be.
the guys I incorporate into my train of thought are the guys I mentioned above and there's no conicidence that they're the smartest people here.

That sh!t was ****in awesome. :oldlol:
Not that I'm too much into this type of a thing but which NBA player am I? What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Haha, this was awesome, we should all compare ourselves to NBA players like Izzo did. Haha.
You never know who the smartest guy here really is. There are people who are not native speakers for instance... :D
On a more serious note, I think the most intelligent poster this board has seen IQ-wise was AlJeffersonRules. And he was a bad poster. Takes noithing away from his IQ.
If you take a close look at your selections BTW, you'll see you listed the OLD giys. kBlaze is like 34, GoBB 35, Loki 28-29, WigNosy over 30... (Before you ask: I'm turning 33 this year, LOL) It's no coincidence. You may add rezznor or Laker Logic to the list. Even Know Itawl.
When I was mentioning the 'average' Joe making interesting observations, I relied on the experience that we all often find that interesting observations are coming from people who see the world differently. And since you are not average, chances are that less intelligent guys will see things differently.
As for smart posters, there are many here, who are not posting that often any more. adamcz, sakF, funkylikemonkey... the list goes on and on. Don't be fooled by the guys talking the most being the most intelligent.

Has been done before. I created the thread 2-3 years ago. I compared Shogon to Kobe Bryant. In fact, he was very very much like him at the time.
