For one "D"
Evidentally a mod decided to delete a couple of post of mine on this thread. And evidentally you're taking talking ish on message boards way to serious.
Don't know why a post of yours was deleted, don't feel like you have said anything out of place, you don't do that. I assume it was by accident. I have no issue with anything you have said, O opened up with a fast ball high & inside and you replied as best you could, I am good with that speaking for myself.
You started the thread about the affiliation between the KKK and UK. I know you'll say that you didn't and that you just stated that the mayor of Lexington was a Klan member and it might cause a problem with recruits.
Yep, that was me !
My question is, why it would be affiliated with UK? Do you really think that every state has a individual in politics that has "many" skeletons in their closet? That's a honest question.
Why would the mayor of Lexington Ky being a gay Klan member be associated with the university? The mayor being the main representive of the people of his city and what is likely the largest employer in that city and ya asking why there would be a perceived affiliation? Kinda goes hand & hand.
Back to the mayor of Lexington. Did you not know he was gay before you posted this thread? Or did you learn that from your own fanbase after the fact?
No, I did not know he was gay before you informed us of that fact, of course, I didn't know he was a Klan member until the national media broke that last week. Glad I could clear up that time line question.
If you already knew before hand why would you even think it was true? Because you always want to dig at UK and act surprised when someone calls BS. And if you do that, I'll call BS. You know that.
I never dig at Ky and act surprised that a ky fan replies. You know me better than that, I hit back and you know I do. Why you act surprised when I do JC? It is like when I refer to a fact or ask a hard question that I know you would prefer not to address, you will in standard reply that you disagree it is a fact without addressing why that particular item is not a fact or just not address a specific question THAT I know you would prefer not to answer. I don't blame ya, I don't get upset with ya, I know I put you in a tuff spot and consider if I was JC how would I wriggle out of this one. You handle those situations well, I respect that from you. I don't dish out to you JC what I can't take a hit back from.
I didn't disrespect any individual here or anything pertaining to the University of North Carolina. So, I don't understand why a couple of my posts were deleted.
Again, don't know why your post was deleted, was not anything of my wanting.
I simply stated that North Carolina had 9 active chapters of the Klan and Kentucky had 3 active chapters. And North Carolina had the third most Chapters of every state. The only two states with more is Texas and Mississippi.
Yeah, it was a hard come back to my hard ball tossed but IMO effectively countered.
So, if a kid has a problem with the Klan then why would this be a problem with anyone wanting to go to UK?
Hmmm, let me see, if he attends UKy he lives in the town where the mayor is a gay klan member, maybe he would have to think twice before going out in town at night?
And then you try to change the subject by saying, "Well, no ones talking about a gay mayor at Chapel Hill that's a KKK member". Is the mayor of Chapel Hill affiliated with the University of North Carolina? Is he a board member? Is he a coach? If he's not, why would I affiliate you're mayor with UNC?
Nope, it is the same topic, major of Lexington Ky being a gay klan member and the major of Chapel Hill isn't, nothing more than compare & contrast. Feel free to associate the mayor of Chapel Hill with the University of North Carolina.
And why are you now posting, "Lexington's "GAY" mayor being a Klan member"? Do you have a problem with someone being gay? If not, why, all of a sudden, you're including "GAY" into your post? Is being "GAY" a negative on UK recruiting also?
Actually we covered this above, you shared with us the mayor was gay. We live in a country that says it is your right to what ever sexual orientation you prefer, you have a right to join the KKK if you prefer, you have a right to be gay and be a member of the KKK,lk and clearly in this country you have the right to be a gay member of the KKK and be elected mayor of Lexington Ky. None of those things are illegal in this country. It is however also legal in this country for me to not consider any of those things as things I agree with. I may for example respect ones rights to do what ever one wants in the privacy of their home when it hurts no other person but it darn sure does not mean I have to agree with those actions or that I have to elivate them to some higher level of respect. I am neither a gay rights advocate or a klan member for the record, must mean I am not the mayor of Lexington Ky.
I don't think you're homophobic or a racist. I just think you're typing before you think. You're wanting to win a debate and the bad thing is my friend, it has "NOTHING" to do with UK. But like always, you want it to be.
It is a dig JC, we get plenty of them thrown at the UNC fan base by Ky fans but those folks sure freak out when we toss one back in their direction.
I've been going back and forth with friendly jabs with Mike for pure fun about how ridiculous this thread is. And I hope to God Mike isn't taking me serious as you are. But evidentally a mod must have taking my posts serious because of my deleted posts in this thread.
I am not a mod JC, I don't have the ability to delete a post so I had nothing to do with that
nor would I have deleted your post eif I did have the ability.
And I hope Mike, Jim, and BD doesn't delete this thread before I can actually hear your response. Because we have always been debating ish for years and always been doing it in friendly banter. There's no one here I consider a better friend than you. You're the one person here that made me want to stay here and shoot the ish with all the good people here.
You are what I consider the upper crust of Ky fans, I actually do not on the whole hate Ky fans or your school. I do not respect Kalpiari and we have been way down the road as to why and I frankly do not like the manner Ky fans as a whole have (excluding you) conducted themselves on our boards in the past and especially during the AFAM stuff we have been dealing with. But hey, rival fan bases do that, Ky fans and a couple other fan bases have taken that stuff to an extreme and you know that and you know that you would not like it if the roles were reversed. As I have said many times JC, you would be welcome in my home as a good friend, you have been welcome in this cyber home as just that, a good friend. Much of our exchanges, pretty much all of them have always been good natured. Guiirantee ya from my side this entire thread has had a ton of good natured ribbing from me, that was kinda my original intent, good natured ribbing with a spin toward recruiting. I tossed out some negative recruiting based on a story broken by the national media with out being real careful with the facts or really caring for the facts. JUST LIKE WHAT HAS OCCURRED FOR THE LAST 4YRS IN ASSOCIATION WITH UNC !
I don't know why you keep busting my chops over the last couple of months. And the reason I started the thread , " About Roy admitting recruiting the OAD players UK and Duke got" was just because the day before I posted that thread you were telling me Roy only recruited a couple of the UK Kids since Calipari had been at UK. But that got deleted as well. It was a thread I started because you have told me for years Roy doesn't recruit the kids Calipari does.
Now JC, yet again I say, never said Roy does snot recruit one & dones, never said that, never said Roy does not recruit any of the same players Kal has, never said that JC, never one time said that. But Roy has not recruited ALL the players kal has recruited and Roy has not changed the way he runs his program to cater to the one & done recruit. That is one of them facts you don't like me tossing out JC! LOL If you do not agree, list me the number of kids that BOTH Roy and Kal have offerred, I will start your list for ya, Randle, KNiight... You pick it up from there...
I haven't changed my posts here. I've always posted here because I've always been able to joke with everyone here. I don't know why anyone here thinks I've changed or why anyone here takes offense to my posting. Either way, whatever.
I am not offended by your posts JC, never have been, I treat you like I do my dukie buddy toppsycoach, I argue, I bust chops, I pick, I play, it means nothing but good fun. Don't you ever take it any other way! Did I need to include smiley faces in my posts? LOL
I love you bud, always will. Relax, it's just a message board.
Right back at ya !
By the way, Lexington's mayor is gay. If he "IS" a member of the KKK, im sure they're going to be pissed by accepting a member that they despise.
Question for ya JC, ya gonna vote for him in the next election? Jus askin...
Just saying
That's the reason I laugh at this thread.
