Well, the ironic thing is - this all started when max literally called me the n - word. It was a direct assault, totally uncalled for. Now, if he wants to talk smack about UNC basketball - I can take that and I'll give it back accordingly. But I would do that in a way of not calling him names - other than referring to him as a "dookie". I certainly wouldn't call anyone the n-word.
So you see how this all started. I made a comment about Dean and 4C... and I DID NOT reply or mention max at all, I didn't tag him or respond to one of his poasts. He came at me out of the blue and commented on MY post. And he literally called me n****. I naturally took exception to that sort of personal attack on this message board. I reported is comment and the mods went back and deleted his use of that word from his post.
He still came at me with more smart-alec retorts, etc. etc. so I simply hearkened back to the days of the old IC board whereby Manhattanheel and 100's of others would use the term "house dookie" - which at that time was bandied about quite frequently on that board. It was an obvious reference to Potter books and Dobby the elf. I don't think many, if any, at that time extrapolated the trope-connection which is plain to see now, in retrospect. I'm sorry I made the reference and take it back. I've even deleted the poast with that in there.
But again, the irony is: max literally called me a ******! He started this mess. I took exception. I dug up the old IC reference. And now I'm getting labeled a wimp who can't take smack talk from a dookie on a UNC basketball thread. AND now I'm the bad guy because of the 'house' reference, which I had nothing to do with it's inception back in 2000's when it came into being in the first place.
So, fuck max, and screw anyone else who takes exception with me because I've ignored the SOB.
Finally, as I've stated before... on other threads... we just got our power turned back on Friday night late. We were without power for 8 days. Without water for 3 days, and without potable water for 3 more days after that. I couldn't reach my 88 year old mother who lives in the Asheville area for about a week. Trees down in my yard crashing over my backyard fence whereby my dogs can now get out; A foot of water in my basement; Had to throw out everything in the fridge and freezer... I was still in the throes of dealing with all the hurricane aftermath - and still am - when max came at me, out of the blue for no fucking reason, calling me horrible names. For NO FUCKING REASON. I was a little bit "testy" at that point in time. If you'll go back and notice the time stamp on my comment about Dean and 4C (the one which max quoted me on and called me a ******) it was exactly 7:01 on Friday night. I still didn't have power at my house then. I made that post from another locale where I had power on my iPad and an internet connection. And because I defended Dean and his use of the 4C, this SOB dookie comes at me calling me ******.
I'm sorry boys and girls, I'm not taking that shit from anybody. Again, fuck max and screw anybody that wants to take his side and defend him in all of this brouhaha.
Now, if another dookie wants to come on this thread - which I started BTW - and talk basketball, fine. Come at me m-fuckers. But if you call me a ******, we're gonna have bigger problems. Capice?
