    I dunno, the NBA forums give the Madden forums a run for their money in the scum/villainy department. It's neck-and-neck I'd say.

      Really?

      I’d say the gap between those 2 in that department are still far apart.

        What the are you referring to? The 2k forums or the actual NBA forum?

        I don't step near the 2k forum so that may be the case.

          I think the Coronavirus thread belongs in this space...

            I had to remove myself from that thread a while ago, and I notice it is closed.

            For the sake of my sanity, I say "good riddance."

              It can kinda be both, but I've oddly encountered more "aggressive" opinionating in the Pro Basketball forum (which I no longer frequent) than the 2K forum. But it's been a long time since I went to the pro basketball forum outside of the tiny niche that is the team-specific forums, so that may have gotten better.

              I saw pretty early on where that thing was headed and decided to check out around April, once it was abundantly clear that fact-based discussion and nuanced argument were not going to be the order of the day there. In many ways, I guess it mirrored how the larger national conversation went, with no one listening to anyone else and everyone entrenched in their own camp/set of context-less "stats" very early on.

              I'm frankly surprised it lasted as long as it did, since it seemed like a dialogue between 2-3 people who were the most, I guess enthusiastic (insert your favorite euphamism here), about their opinions were the only ones posting. And seemingly doing it by the minute in real time, no less...

                  yeah, it's such a controversial topic it might as well fall into the same slot in the OS ToS as drugs, religion, politics, race and sex. there will never be an overwhelming consensus on what the best approach is/was. the sooner we can put this chapter in American/world history far behind us won't come too soon for me. January/February 2020 seems so long ago that might as well be January/February 2000

                    Weird. Never really gotten that vibe. There's certainly some strong minded discussions, but I don't ever remember anyone attacking each other personally apart from the usual jokes.

                    Unless you're referring to Jeebs and his nickname for Kawhi Leonard. Then I think we are all on the same page there hahaha.

                      ...probably a good thing that the covid thread is closed now.

                        Not quite the legendary level of Tony's LPGA in terms of dedication w/o an audience, but here is a thread of updates on a roster project for a game in which you cannot share rosters

                            So is the ongoing Freemasons thread considered a classic thread yet, or is there some sort of Hall of Fame type waiting period?

                              *note to self*
                              self, see to it Jolly Roger's name is turned over and reported to Dear Leader and other high level superiors for suggesting the Freemasons are ''funny, sad, and/or disturbing''

                                Best thread I've seen in a while. A true work of art, all the way down to the title

                                ......

                                It's almost too perfect
