Doing a different thread every week is horrible. It doesn't show up in my subscriptions folder, so I forget.

I'm back, fellas. Thank you very much to hitman24 for stepping in for me. It's very appreciated. Now, unless anyone objects, I will takeover where hitman24 left off.

Here are my picks:
Game One (Wed., 11/13/13): Toronto Raptors @ Memphis Grizzlies by 8
Game Two (Thurs., 11/14/13): Houston Rockets by 10 @ New York Knicks
Game Three (Thurs., 11/14/13): Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warriors by 3
Game Four (Fri., 11/15/13): Philadelphia 76ers by 12 @ Atlanta Hawks
Game Five (Sat., 11/16/13): Brooklyn Nets @ L.A. Clippers by 7

I'll go with wager #1 as well.

Carmelo Anthony will score his first 40 point game in Week 3 (Wed. to Sun.).

With that out of the way, I'm sure you guys are wondering why I was banned. The reason given to me was "Don't give mean negs," but it's funny that I was banned after calling out Jeff in his thread in the OTC. He said he's take care of harassment, so I PM'd him about a specific poster who had been following me around and quoting me to mock me, neg me with racist comments and even sent me 14 PMs in 20 min one time asking me to kill myself.
3 days went by without a response back from Jeff or any actions taken against that poster. I posted in Jeff's thread (it's the one where he is claiming racist and violent negs won't be tolerated), asking him if this is just all talk, that he is just making false threats without repercussions. A few hours later, I get banned.

I know some of you will call me a snitch. That's fine. Jeff said he's take care of harassment, but nah. He just banned me instead for calling him out.
Oh, well. He owns this forum. What can I do? If he wants to be a dictator from time to time, it's up to him.

Damn Scholar sounds like that was a totally undeserved ban. Unless, there is more to the story. For instance, IF you sent racist or violent PMs as well and then were trying to get someone banned for it. Not saying you did. Other than that's a really low move by Jeff and basically entrapment.

But seriously, don't let anyone get you mad on the internet, especially with racism. 90% of the time the person doesn't even believe what they're typing, it's just to get a rise out of you, and the other 10% of the time they're a moron anyways, so their opinion is invalid.

Nah, I didn't send out racist/violent PMs or reps.




To branslowski + Jameer
Fellas, I'm sorry to say time was up and your picks cannot count. If I let you guys slide, I have to let everyone slide in the future. It wouldn't be fair to the rules of the game.
Better luck next week.
