and no, i wasn't interpreted correctly.

and what does having to be an foreign noob have to do with it? nobody's angry at you, man. nobody's directing their frustrations at you. people might have been a little dumbfounded by the move in general, but after letting it sink in we're seeing it for what it is.

this is a board of good posters. check motownsports and mlive forums. THOSE can get derogatory.

Armygirl, I am still laughing out loud at this! My favorite thing about this forum of course is that it's about the Pistons. My second favorite thing is how many belly laughs I get reading the posts. Alot of funny writers on here.

OMG. I just can't stop cracking up that this was your initial response.

BTW, I'm on the Kwame bandwagon now. I like what he gave the Lakers two years ago. I could live with that at the center position. I think it's really important to have a young strong guy at that position. Besides we know how to play without a scoring center....it's our specialty.

In retrospect, I think lpgrl's first reaction was the funniest.

"Burning down" is a little different than alleged woman beating.

And Sheed is a top talent at his position with a unique skill set. Kwame is trying to prove he was worth a first round pick, let alone THE FIRST pick.

If we're going to call a spade a spade, I think that you made a point and had some sympathy at one point, and now it has become a case of "Thou doth protest too much".

To imply that this forum does not tolerate diversity of opinion is something I take personally.

There is no established hazing process, you're hardly a new member having registered last year, and your country of origin is of no issue given that Aussies have been and probably always will be a well represented contingent on this forum.
