Oh boy!

 

He will definitely miss the next 4 games, then we'll see what happens after he is reevaluated next Monday.

I would think we'd just shut him down barring an improbable playoff run.

When was the last out with covid?

Who gets some playing time tonight?

AHol most likely at backup PG. Whole else?

We have no ahols on our team. We also have no wholes.

(And just to clear the board, neither do we have whales or whores. But we do have a few whites.)

We do have an Aaron, and now that he's the only Holiday on the roster, he might even be referenced as a Holi or a Day or a Holiday. Have a tough time persuading me or anyone else that Aaron prefers to be called AHol.

Why can't we assume kinder terms, especially when the player is our own?

That's my  line.

I don't know why this is so hard. Sure, you can demand that people only pronounce it a certain way, but a whole lot of people are naturally going to pronounce it the less than complimentary way. Is it really that difficult to put yourself in another person's shoes? Do you really think "AHol" would appreciate being referred to as "A-H-o-l"? How bout we start referring to you as vajajay bird? But surely you would just expect that everyone pronounces that vay-jah-jay, not the vile way to pronounce it. Surely.

You've been this stubborn before, imo, but you've never been this apathetic to how demeaning your name would be taken if Aaron visits this site. (Does he? Who knows? Why test it, though?)

You must have had that in your back pocket just waiting and waiting - have at it Stuey! Do you!

I've been stubborn. Sure. But your attempt to nudge the spotlight falls flat... at least among those who are routinely prone to value intellect and substance... b/c one thing I haven't been is apathetic about how demeaning it would be to refer to individuals by names that they themselves probably would prefer not used to refer to them.

This is about you.

Would you call Okongwu "Kong?"

Why not?

Because even though you know you yourself would have no ill-intent by using that term, HE quite possibly would take it as a name only a jerk would decide to use.

Am I surprised I have to lobby so much just to get Jay to be more considerate? Absolutely. It's not consistent with how you otherwise are. Why?

(And no, I hadn't been holding that in my back pocket... it truly just occurred to me... you hadn't pushed this so hard until now... now that his brother's gone, there's not even any reason at all  to use AHol. You're just being a jerk because you think you have privileges here and can get away with it. And you probably can. There's a fair number of posters here who recoil to whatever sturt happens to say no matter the topic... and a seemingly high number of posters here who swoon because you're a female and they've just been raised to treat a female differently. Some of them, the same posters. But again... why would you? Why is this important to you? Why not just call him Aaron, for instance? One more letter to type? What possible respectful adult reason justifies your choice? Key terms: "respectful" and "adult.")

[sturt]

Last post today on this topic... screenshot of IM with a poster who I generally have always held in some regard, though we've also certainly disagreed plenty about x, y or z. It's an important topic if one considers the unwritten rules and culture of our community to be important.

(Playing the "founder" card, plausibly, maybe I care too much, but given that that's on my business card... if not me, after all... who?)

Smellin' like Towns will be back tonite.

Figures they'd want to ease him back when they play a sawft a**, also-ran team's frontcourt.

I wonder if he'll come off the bench?

Interesting!!!

Seems to be a you issue more than anything. Not the first time you've mentioned me being female. Never asked to be treated differently or asked any poster here to intervene on my behalf. I handle 'discussions' myself or I bow out. I state MY opinion and decide when it's time to move on or not or just ignore.
