Some people have understandably objected to the use of certain offensive words other people have been using on this public forum. It was never my intent for free speech to be abused in this way.
To show respect towards all bloggers, there must be a banned words list, there is no way around it. There is no age cutoff for this website, no parental guidance on this website.
As of right now, there are only two words on the banned list, and they are variances of the same word.
This is a serious matter. I want all the people who have been offended by reading any objectionable words on this website to email me these exact words [ knicksdefense at gmail.com ] so that we can take care of this problem once and for all. This is your opportunity so speak up now, or forever hold your peace.
I will somehow communicate with you the final list of banished words so that people know which words are off limits. Once the list is in play, all posts containing these words will automatically be deleted. Furthermore, if the blog software accidentally screens you somehow although you are not using any offensive words, those posts will also be deleted, and not recovered. The best thing to prevent this from happening is to never use the banned words to begin with. That’s just the way it goes with software, as many of you have complained previously when this software was implemented before.
Trying to circumvent this rule by coming up with alternate derogatory words in other languages is just as offensive, so please don’t try it, it is still disrespectful.

I hope you read my disclaimer and my explanation of why such words exist.
I don’t condone them.
I am a free speech guy but understand that the excessive use of such words could in the long term hurt this great forum more than it could ever help it.
Perhaps some of us throw those words around b/c there is a spirit of fraternity here and people, including myself, might feel that one can let their gaurd down and let offensive words slide.
I respect your call thought.
Peace and Blessings
Lets just hope this blog don’t turn into
“The Mike Breen Brothership Blog.”
It’s heading that way! Gee Whiz!
I vote to ban the following two fightin’ words:
“Mike Lupica”
A very, very slippery and unfortunate slope. Good luck.
I’m also for banning the word “Mike Lupica,” while we’re at it lets also Ban the names “Mark Berman,” and “Frank Isola.” Those words fill me with disgust and revulsion. Lets just refer to them as Max Kellerman does…
The Genius Retarded Monkey Sportswriters!
Oh well just to get back to basketball here are some links to local non tabloid press clipings on teh Knicks.
http://www.northjersey.com/sports/knicks/Time_will_tell_if_Knicks_can_turn_it_around.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/17/sports/basketball/17allstar.html?_r=1&ref=basketball&oref=slogin
http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080217/SPORTS01/802170387/1044/SPORTS0105
You know something, I can read between the lines, don’t say “good luck” like you mean it, when you obviously don’t wish it.
I removed just one word, in essence, from the entire english lexicon because people came to me offended and hurt and I thought basketball talk could be fully expressed without the use of said word.
But if you want to turn this into Alan “wacky” Hahn round II, let me expedite matters. Give me a link to your new blog, and I’ll post it here so the posse can find you and start this cyclical pattern all over again.
So do call me a sellout, or a racist, or a censor, you’re just talking smack. This site has always been about taking polls, freedom of speech, and listening to each others opinions about the Knicks. The Knicks, let me reiterate that: The Knicks. This website is about the Knicks. It is not about Paul Mooney, or Naz’ new album, although those things have been discussed here at length by fellow bloggers.
Remember the Knicks, remember when people actually wrote here on the knicks? Me too.
Blogzilla,
You’re Blogzilla for a reason. You know what’s good.
Anonymous/Starburyfan/KnicksDefense–
Useful post from Steve A. No venom or snide pop shot in it. He hit on some key dates that all KFLers should mark on their
calendars. Here at KnicksDefense, Steady is looking out for 3-card Monty (King of Lies, King of Fools, King of Pain). The
Force MDs will be there to wittness the turn around the corner (if there was one).
KFLL
KnicksDefense is a great site and whatever you have to do to keep the focus on the game, the team and the sport we love — then do it. I for one wish that anyone who needs to ever resort to hurtful ignorant slang like that, should just keep it to themselves.
Lookin forward to the game tomorrow against the Wizards!
KD,
I’ll bite. It seems the season has ended early.
First of all, forgive me for questioning your between-the-line literacy, but you clearly didn’t understand what I meant by “good luck.” The wish for good luck was genuine because I enjoyed this forum, but it was also a warning that you have set a standard that I believe requires “good luck” because it is untenable and will lead to the decline of this cutting edge site. I don’t wish you bad luck and I don’t need too. You have, to date, done a marvelous job of allowing this site to develop and grow organically, controlling it through your posts and efffort to keep up the site. You have now taken on a task which is impossible — to judge which “disrespectful” words should be banned without a tenable standard. One or two words commonly accepted as socially unacceptable for better or worse is easy. But, then you suggest that indivduals should not circumvent efforts to end “disrespect” by creating new words or phrases. You wrote “Trying to circumvent this rule by coming up with alternate derogatory words in other languages is just as offensive, so please don’t try it, it is still disrespectful.”
So you claim that you are only banning one word, but you decided to overreach by offering to define what are disrespectful words and what are not. This site, like each and every other fan site where there is a difference of opinion pumped with male testosterone, is built on a foundation of disrespectful language, responses, insinutations and putdowns. On any given page, disrespect of Knick players, trolls and Knick Defense posters is par for the course — any effort to legislate that requires good luck and more.
But this is where you get me and I take it as personally as you directed it. I take it disrespectfully as you clearly meant it. Your suggestion for my new website and reference to Alan Hahn is clearly an invitation to leave. You have read me enough to know that I will not even write a response to that invitation.
What I will respond to is that if I wanted to call you anything (sellout, racist, or censor) I would tell you and not care whether you considered it smack or not. It would be my opinion regardless of what you say. Quite frankly, my initial reaction was to find a way to help the blog work around this problem and decision, perhaps by showing how impossible a task you have set for yourself. As you know I have tried to post a couple of posts regarding the issue; one offering a collection of words, some facetious, that deserve consideration for banning. I also attempted to post what I believe was a legitimate question about your decision. I have an opinion and think highly enough of myself to actually believe I have a right to express it no matter who it pisses off. And I believ that the best way to work through issues is to discuss them and not be scared and bullied by those who differ.
Until your above response I did not believe it was your duty alone to monitor and regulate the behavior on the blog. My experience from several other blogs is that it cannot be done except by the tone set by the community.
But, you have made it clear that this is your blog, your rules and you will take control of the content of this blog. Again I say good luck and I mean it, because people like African, Statesman, O&B, Steady, Modi et al deserve a place to express their fanaticism. From my reading of all the blogs, Knick Defense remains as good a place as any.
But you and I are very similar. We don’t take slights lightly when we consider them important. I remember when you were the first to step away from Isola’s spot because you did not care for the tone of his blog. I was sad to see you go, but I respected your opinion and was very glad to meet up with you again. But you had the right idea — either you stay and express your opinion despite the condition of the blog or you just get up and leave.
So instead of responding to your throwing down of the guantlet and literal challenge to me, I will let my actions speak loudest. According to most of the posters the season is over anyway. Good luck. Thank you. Peace.
Starbury, With great respect, you don’t need to fix it if it ain’t broke.Yours is a private site and you are certainly entitled to edit it any way you choose to.But there are a lot of words that offend people, even more important than the word is the venom behind them.When I visit this arena I don’t feel the viciousness that destroyed Knick Knation.Since this is a private venue there is always the option of tossing someone who is disrespectful in your house out the door.People who come into your home should respect it as a private forum that is open to all Knick fans with good intentions.How those intentions should be judged is twofold.One, if a community is offended they need to say so, then ignore that individual.Shunning trolls does work.Secondly, as owner/operator you can toss anyone you care to out the door when you find them offensive.Banning this word or that word is your choice, but opens the proverbial can of worms.Common sense, good manners and a good kick in the ass out of the door should solve any problems.This is a Knick venue, not a court room in the Hague.If someone can’t behave there is the time-out room(shunning) or the door.Your house, your rules.In closing, Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once said, in a case dealing with pornography, “I know it when I see it.”The same rule is easily transferable to pornography of the mind.As to our Knick situation, I refuse to throw in the towel.Where we end up is not the ultimate question.Only one team is left standing at the season’s end.Who are the stand up guys you can depend on?It’s over when you give up, not when the score board says so.LGK
Lives,
I’ve been monitoring between posts #4 and #10 with great interest/curiosity. Unless you’re obligated by the community/youths, fatherly functions, or you’re on the southbound Acela heading to wittness the “turnin’ the corner”, roll call will be at seven or whenever you damn please. Oh, yeah–another pre-game would be nice. KD Jakes Cooleyhigh is just coming back from the homegoing of the young fella gone too soon. He too shall come around when he damn pleases to nourish the hearts and minds with a spiritual piece. The season may have been declared “OVAH” by some, you will note that one poster gallantly had the NYK winning all the games this half. Now that’s what I call HUTZPAH/COJONES and just plain old “Being a Real Fan”.
By the time this post gets up, Blogzilla/KnicksDefense/Starburyfan may have already done the good thing. You and he know what’s good.
KFLL
Lives,obviously,I was writing while you were posting!Did I misread, or are you now the owner of your own venue.If so please give us an address.Starbury, don’t be offended.There is plenty of room for all of a true heart.T
Thanks Coach. You always type the words that steadies Steady. You are a quiet man; Shakespear would be proud.
KFLL
Steady does not know Lives. From the character that has emerged as Lives, this scenario will not elevate to another site to spite. DaVon Obama Jefferson
Modi, and a few others here have blog sites. I suppose KD could have blocked the word without warning but as a friend in the blogosphere, he gave a heads-up. The living room rule you referenced Tman still applies.
We’re in it until the clock stops.
KFLL
KnicksD
I got your back on this,keep it clean!
We should be able to express ourselves with an array of words from the english language.
We should show some class.
Block what you have to.
KnicksD…
I agree with and respect your wishes on the use of certain words/phrases. While the N word doesn’t personally offend me, I can definitely feel for those that it might.
As Tman stated, your house, your rules. I don’t see that as throwing down the gauntlet, but merely setting a standard for accepted behavior in your domicile.
Write on, bruh!!!
i am sorry it has come to this.
once again, if you sincerely want a certain word removed from the site because it hurts your feelings personally to see it here, please email me this word and if i get numerous requests from bloggers about the same word it will be removed.
please don’t post these proposed words here.
right now there is only one word removed. it is not my goal in any way to add to this list, I NEVER WANTED A LIST, or to silence bloggers who for some reason only know how to type one word out of the millions available to them. The list is to prevent unnecessary harm.
if you are posting offensive words here as some kind of political statement against “the system”, whatever.
tomorrow we’ll be back with the knicks, and just the knicks hopefully, for the rest of the season. whether the season is lost or not, I don’t know. i will still watch the games and blog on.
Knicksdefense,
You self proclaim this blog to be the result of a “Cyclical pattern?”
And now according to YOU, we are not defenders..but in your MARK like terms “POSSE?”
Yeah, we have from time to time disscused matter other than the the knicks because
we felt that comfortable! You are the Pot calling the kettle BLACK…as I have read many
Non Knick posts by you in relationship to the Jazz Greats! WTF????
KnicksD
I second BronxBoy,& Tman
“your house, your rules”.
Don’t feel you have to explain or cater to someone’s feelings.
THIS IS BASKETBALL!!
Let’s MAN-UP like Gentlemen………and Ladies if you’re out there.
DLT,
That banned word is in the Dictionary! The ENGLISH ONE!
Peace,
While the word may be contained in the dictionary, KnicksD doesn’t want it used in here. Why not respect the man’s wishes. Is that too much to ask?
I think not.
Bronxboy,
I have stated that I would not use that word in the last thread,
out of respect for him! I’m done with this until the next word ban!
Lets go Knicks!
I hope Lives post @ 10 is not his farewell post.
Amongst many of the bloggers here, I considered his rantings, and writings amongst the best.
KnicksD
I don’t make attacks or direct them veiled or otherwise, I certainly hope the whole “political statement against the system rant” wasn’t a slight at yours truly.
Just keep in mind that Mr. Obama does the political spiel on the regular, and topics other than basketball come through the wind mill of this blog from time to time.
To single one person out or one bloggers rant out for scrutiny cries of a lack of objectivity.
I think you will know that my cloak for the most part tries to stick with basketball but as I have admitted the atmosphere is fraternal enough that I feel like I can initiate, react, or comment on any topic raised here by any blogger.
Heck I even remember one of your better post on the perspective of a Knick game from the back row seats that many a working class fan has to occupy. I thought that was one of your best bits.
And lets all be honest with ourselves, race, class, and all other sorts of socially related items interact with the various sports and game of life. We’d be fools to deny it.
In any case,… A fond farewell to you lives, if this is your last time here.
KnicksD peace be onto you.
OBTW Lives
let me know about your new blog.
I’ll be sure to check it out from time to time.
Personally, I don’t see why this has to be rocket-science or nail-biting time for free speech. We are all (or pretend to be) reasonable adults here. If you’re afraid that banning n-i-g-g-e-r, kike, jungle-bunny, hook-nose, etc., etc. and all permutations of race-based insults, then perhaps this is not the space for you if you cannot express yourself without that bit of weaponry.
Sports and race is a legitimate topic of conversation, but what Pman did earlier in the name of defending KD honour should be (imho) deemed out of bounds. There’s plenty of latitude here in terms of free speech, but just as your right to freely swing a fist ends at the tip of someone else’s nose, I think as REASONABLE grown ass men we can draw a bright line between acceptable jabs and fightin “dirty.”
lay hard, play fair. Do you respect the man’s house or not? This doesn’t have to be tough.
uhm, i think i circumvented the rules there, and if you have to delete to remain consistent, no probs (or can you edit it to “n-word?”), but i think you know my intent.
Lives, no need to leave in a snit. KD’s was a fair interpretation. You know you’d be missed here but if you think this situation is the perfect segue to your own joint, so be it. Good luck with that.
From Mark Stein’s article regarding the Hurdles still to be faced in culminating a Mavs-Nets Trade for Jason Kidd.
‘So Dallas has secured Van Horn’s participation via sign-and-trade, according to team sources, to make up for the removal of George, who blocked his inclusion in the trade by citing a little-known league rule that prevents certain players with one-year contracts from being traded without their consent.
Agreement between the Mavericks and the Nets on Hassell and Van Horn, however, doesn’t make it automatic that the league will approve Van Horn’s role in the transaction. It’s believed that Van Horn, who’s been out of the game since the 2006 NBA Finals, will be required to leave his Colorado home, pass a physical and make himself available to play for the Nets as opposed to just collecting checks because he’s eligible contractually to be added to the transaction.
Sources close to the Dallas-New Jersey trade talks said Sunday that it’s not yet clear whether the league will seek to establish any sort of time requirement for how long Van Horn would have to stay with the Nets, with whom the 32-year-old began his career in 1997-98. But sources say Van Horn will receive an estimated $4.3 million for the rest of the season that will not be pro-rated if the trade goes through.
Litvin is one of the lawyers who will help NBA commissioner David Stern rule on this trade and touched on the case-by-case nature of these scenarios when he said Saturday, “If the guy gets there and 20 seconds later he gets cut and the guy is 55 years old, that’s not going to pass muster. If the guy played last year, reports [to his new team], and plays and practices [like McKie], that will. Somewhere inbetween is a line that I can’t define.”‘
HERE IS WHERE I THINK THE KNICKS SHOULD GET INVOLVED-ESPECIALLY SHOULD THE KEITH VAN HORN HURDLE STALLS THIS LATEST ROUND OF MAVERICK NETS TRADE TALKS FOR J-KIDD.
“The Mavs’ most significant loss might prove to be Diop, who played a big role in their ride to the ’06 Finals as half of a two-headed center tandem alongside Erick Dampier. This is an especially risky time to lose size in the West, after the Lakers landed Gasol and Phoenix’s blockbuster move for Shaquille O’Neal.”
That portion of Stein’s article suggest that Dallas will be losing still much needed size in a Western Conference that has seen a two teams SIZE ARMS RACE in Phoenix, and LA.
Evey Goddam word ChuckFM just wrote in # 26 offended the fuck out of me!
Ban the D-nice jock strap sweat!
So the PROVERBIAL CONVERSATION has begun and we’re left with a HEALTHY DISCUSSION on the POWER OF LANGUAGE!
My HEART, MY HEAD are HEAVY, and I question whether I should weigh in considering the circumstances, what shall I say? Will my WORDS be balanced? Or, will my enotions roll of the sleeve veiled by my pain?
MY THIRD EYE clearly displays my internal conflict, but MY FOUNTAIN of INSPIRATION cries out, so weigh in I must….. KD and Defenders are you with ME…
“As to our Knick situation, I refuse to throw in the towel.Where we end up is not the ultimate question.Only one team is left standing at the season’s end.Who are the stand up guys you can depend on?It’s over when you give up, not when the score board says so.LGK”
TMAN, with the SURE NOUGH Jedi Mind Trick…Your Official Blow Me Club Card is in the mail oh Wise One…You are a FORCE MD/DC’S for LIFE… This verse, at the conclusion of your post #11 SPEAKS TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER…I know you qualified it was about OUR BELOVED NY KNICKS, but you more than anybody understands the Imperical Power of Language and the TEAM (TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE). Your THOUGHTFUL posts have consistently conveyed your comprehension of such concepts…I APPLAUD YOUR WISDOM and SPIRIT, and appreciate OUR Ether Connectivity.
KD/Zilla/*buryFan, I respect your postion and your call to action, and your HOUSE, and I also respect the RIGHTS of other DEFENDERS to express theirs and see VALUE in their stances too…
That being said, If my words have cut or offended I ask for your Collective Forgiveness Defenders, and Pledge to Attempt to comport myself Respectfully, Forcefully, Earnestly, Cooperatively, and ALWAYS HONESTLY…
As a Universe of One, that I can control… But, I am also my BROTHERS KEEPER, and want it on Record that I VALUE EACH AND EVERY DEFENDER POSTER and I Fervently Believe All DEFENDERS are Stand Up Guys in their OWN UNIQUE WAY, because each have GODLY DNA and Darkness in their veins…DUALITY
In Closing,
Matthew’s, Chapter 7, Verse 1 & 2, King James Version
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
God Bless Defenders, it is time for me to rest MY THIRD EYE…SPEAK TRUTH TO WISDOM
Keep it POPPIN
Whoops!
Here’s Mark Steins Bit on The J-Kidd trade, which discusses the possible depletion of the Mavs front court depth.

Follymach @ 26
Your point is duly noted.
You will recall that I was amongst the bloggers who offered my own cryptic commentary on the Peacman v. Rockstar fiasco.
Modi, D L T & Bronx of the Force MDs have typed in. Harlem and Cooleyhigh may chime in if they damn please. I co-sign vociferously on 16 and 17. I’m not speculatin’ on a farewell by Lives. He’s a gentleman and writes like a scholar. O&B, you know what’s good. Tu hermanos here validate your GM acumen
.
KFLL
Crazy Horse once threw an axe at Sitting Bull’s ass, but it cut
poor Running Bear’s head off…being up that close! Lets go knicks!
DEE-FENDERS,
Very interesting conversations. This is similar to the Division that exist regarding the Obama support w/n the community.
It certaintly is not on that level, but there are parallels. You have good people on both sides that truly believe that their
position is correct. You have one side that is progressive, and the other w/ the more traditional way of doing things. There exist a
complex character (Monty/Hillary) that drives a wedge. Both sides have a common goal, just different methods of achievement.
Let’s Go Knicks!!!
Tension has and will continue to Rise when one side draws a line in the sand, and tells the other this is how things are, “Take it or leave it”.
Respect of others’ opinions TRUMPS Dictatorship in the end. I have observed Isola’s “Take it or leave it board”, and now they average 4 post a week. Adults have to be treated as Adults, or it will never work.
I can agree w/ outcome but disagree w/ the methods to obtain the outcome. FLEXING IS NOT REALLY A SPORT!!
Peace & Blessings
this doesn’t have to be about demonizing pman. it’s just about setting standards. do you think them reasonable or not? whenever any rule is enforced there’s always the fear of slippery slopes. but, truly gentlemen, are we there yet? does banning race-based insults (and that’s really what we’re talking about at this stage, no?) really push us to the brink of bible-thumping censorship? i think we’re sufficiently far away from the no-fun/no expression zone that it’s almost irrational to fear it at this point.
if and when it gets to the point where you feel too handcuffed by the rules to express yourself in the way you prefer THEN hitail it out of here for the next joint. i don’t see that we’re anywhere near there at this point. relax. have a smoke, swirl the brandy, sink into your wing back chair.
agreed. and children, like children (sent to the corner for a ‘time out’).
no flexing, but on this rule, there shouldn’t be bending.
O&B, i wasn’t intentionally referencing anything you may’ve said in the past but, duly noted, you are a gentleman, no question.
It’s not about demonizing me Chuck FM….it’s about hurting your feelings about there being
no Santa, no tooth fairy or whatever bullshit world you live in!
I’m a light weight…you haven’t come close to a Demon! There’s a few round my way!
Lives,
Don’t want to see you go, but a man must have his principles. Hopefully, we will hear from you again.
This is starting to feel like a relationship. Not good with that.
Language can be a strong weapon. Negative words somehow have damaged our psyche for a long time.
Censoring is definitely a slippery slope.
Decency and civility should be everyone’s motto, but the ideology of freedom is paramount to our spirit.
The Chief Plaintiff who’s feelings were hurt by the banned word has just pulled a “Monty”
on the whole blog by not only using the banned word but adding a few others in post #26,
and is most likely grinning ear to ear! And you guys all call Zeke “Monty?”
Who’s Zooming Who?
i’m really gettin the feelin that there’s a few folks who’re concerned that if KD chooses to ban race-based insults that in short order no one will be allowed to cuss or throw around fat jokes or chick-jokes or whatever. i’m surprised at this cuz i thot KD was a known quantity, a person y’all been rollin wit for a long time. i would have thought that you would know his steez by now.
frankly i’m really stunned that cuz he’s chosen to put SOME kind of limit to things, the first one after literally thousands of posts, guys are ready to throw that history out the window. i don’t get it.
i’m thinkin KD sez no mo’ race-based insults, almost everybody sez, hm, ok, coo’, whatever man, LGK! instead there’s a whole lotta nail-bitin over what’s comin next? are you really going to miss race-based insults? wtf? it’s like a millionaire losin sleep re-thinking if he shoulda tipped the diner waitress 10% or 15%. you have an embarrassment of riches to be thankful for.
lookit, there is still some possibility the sun may not rise tomorrow, so howzabout we leave the non-issues alone and concentrate on our real passions.
when did everyone take up membership in the ACLU?
sure pman, what you did and what i did above are about the same. *rolls eyes* c’mon man. why is race-based insults worth fighting for? you and i have so many other knicks-related issues in common. let’s move on.
According to the NJ Star Ledger’s Dave D’alessandro the Heat are in position to be players in a free agent market that could easily replenish their cupboard, coupled with a draft that will fill at least one need.
In a sense, according to D’alessandro, they are players to revamp overnight.
This is why it would be a great time to pimp Curry or even Z-Bo at them, with another player thrown in of course to help our cap situation for the Kings arrival in NY.
Whoops OBTW here is the Dave D’alessandro article.

Good Night fellas play nice (but no kissy kissy of course)!
The blog is all yours ChuckFM!
I meant exactly what I said to the troll aka RockStar!
Have Fun in Pleasantville!
Getting close to bedtime in NYC and I haven’t received any additional emails at all, so I guess there may only be one word that will be banned. I am glad.
Peaceman, I am sorry if I offended you by my actions on the website. I’ve always considered you a friend, but if you don’t accept my apology, I understand. You are an O.G. blogger and I’ve never messed with your words before, but I had to do something this time. I simply don’t use the N word in any variation.
Lives, I am sorry I snapped at you, my anger stemmed not from you, but from another on here. You are one of the truly great bloggers among us, far better than myself, and I admit that to everyone here and now. Turns out there was someone else that had pissed me off yesterday and I let it out after reading your remark of disappointment with the stance I took on banishing offensive words.
STATESMAN, nice try throwing “dictatorship” around just now. I think African also unsuccessfully tried used that word once before here too. It makes no sense to me, because if there were any real “dictatorship” the last thing you’d be able to do is complain about it on here. For example, how many of your own words have ever been censored on this blog, STATESMAN?
Dictatorship, as if I’m somehow collecting taxes from you. If i took a poll on this topic like I do on almost every other issue (usually knick related, mind you), would the people who were offended by the N-word no longer be hurt by its continued use? the removal of one word so as not to offend others merits this perceived “dictatorship” from you?
If a person is offended they’re offended. More than one person came to me with complaints so I decided to try to solve the problem.
I was personally offended when you, STATESMAN, said a while ago that your goal is to shut down knicksdefense.com permanently, but what do you know, we’re still around, and your insinuations continue to be published despite this dictatorship. i’d say that is pretty close to freedom of speech.
By the way, “dictatorship” is not even close to consistent with your statement from just yesterday STATESMAN,
“Knickd, was it one of your Corporate sponsors that requested you BLOCK the N-word? Good Call.”
So, how much help do you think I get from corporate sponsors, STATESMAN? $100k $10k? $1000? $100? $5? $1? .50? a penny?
Really? That’s interesting.
I look forward to talking about knicks basketball tomorrow against the wizards. thank you to the people who voiced their support with regard to this sensitive matter. in any case, i doubt there are very many knicks blogs out there that permit the use of this word after-all.
Blogzilla,
If you can make the time–NEW POST PLEEEEEEEAZE. Hopefully we can move off this thread. Like I’ve always said, losing makes us eat our innards.
ChuckFM,
If you tell me in a post that you prefer Charles or FollyMach as an abbreviation to your handle, you can be sure that I will comply. Decency and mutual respect right? Steady always try to be about all that is good–especially Knick Ws.
Shout out to the Announcer–where you be at nuestron Rey del pico?

Sr.Steady, lo que le hace estabiliza, puede ser noble pero siempre sospecha!
