This place is wild, haha. First, I always thought Shadow Operative 2.0 was also Derka, but I guess not? I also remember a poster named Lurka Lurka, so he is certainly a surly celebrity. I obviously don't follow UT basketball threads here, although I did spend some time in the Chris Beard thread since it was national news, but I've been here long enough to have seen the "Derka Effect," for lack of a better term, more than a few times. The pattern used to be Derka has a strong opinion, someone disagrees, Derka comes back hard and won't let it go, and everything goes to shit. At some point the pattern became so well established that it was accelerated to Derka has strong opinion, disagreeing opinion is super aggressive knowing where the conversation would lead, and it goes to shit right off the bat. I got super annoyed in the TV and Movies board when he decided he no longer liked a show and shit on anyone's opinion if they still liked it, but it was easy enough to ignore.
Ultimately, if the site's owners and moderators (who I assume don't make much, if anything, off this place) have to spend an inordinate amount of time offline dealing with the issue (including with his mom apparently?), they are more than justified in making it go away, especially when the poster refuses a simple request to ignore those who accelerated the pattern of aggressive disagreeing opinions. I do specifically recall a post of his somewhere implying that he'd off himself and would blame another poster, that alone in my mind would justify the owner's decision, regardless of what the other poster had said.
I also have some experience dealing with people and mental illness and the mantra has always been to be empathetic, but don't enable them to use it as an excuse to treat others the way they don't want to be treated. That sort of rings a bell here. All that said, it sounds like he was a major contributor to UT basketball threads which I don't follow so I guess that's where his support comes from, because in the areas I've observed it, the contributions have rarely justified the nonsense. Just a humble opinion because I saw this thread bumping constantly and decided to click and was bored. I'm mostly here for the lolz anyway.
this is actually a really great summary.  He wouldn’t let you ignore him in the other threads even after we acknowledged his point.  Like in the dragons thread, everyone was either saying “ok shoes not perfect we know you don’t like it but can we just discuss” and Derka just goes aggro. Â
Âalso calling out the owner of the site is not the best idea. In doing so he justifies the perma ban imoÂ

Because I'm tired of them. LeBron is almost fucking 40 and has been the center of the basketball world for 20 years. KD is 35. Steph is 36. Just go away and let me watch the younger guys like Ant, Brunson, Halliburton, Chet, Banchero, etc. I'd be much more interested in watching that. I'm not a big fan of the old dudes hanging on for one more go-round. You've had your shot, now let the younger guys take over.
I don't need any more LeBron, Steph or KD in my life. I'm full.
Young dudes have had some challenges in international competition. Last Olympics KD was the only one worth a shit. Forgot you’re not a Texas fan. Â
ÂI want to see the old guys one more time

Sure thing. Texas has always been the prize.  Remember Borens “we are. It wallflowers” comment?

Well, this obviously isn't personal for @closetohumping.
Nah I should’ve consolidated my responses.  Derka brings a lot to the board but was an ass to me

now that he’s gone, for now, can we call Chris beard “tourney dynamo” again?

I’ve explained to Derka he needs to bide his time, ignore mo and accept imma’s approach. It took damn well near 7-8 years to convince this place that tranny and other similar slurs are offensive and should be off limits and I fucking left right before they made that decision. Johnny Sack’s and immortal13, immaculate vibes and a bunch of other trolls view points were held in more esteem than mine - for years. Let that sink in for a hot minute.
The gay mafia here spent at least as long getting the term faggot on the bannable list of slurs.
Âmental health challenges is even harder because the self-sabotage. At least I was able to weather the storm, advocate for myself and be patient. Change takes time.
ÂBut repeatedly insulting and railing on the owner won’t help. And in fact it will get you banned. But to acknowledge Derka’s considerable short comings without acknowledging grown men with no mental health excuse engage him and gas light him - because we are surly assholes - is disingenuous.Â
Ironic as Derka had a long ass thread about being able to call people “retards.”

I'm not arguing nor claiming superiority.
Just stating it's easier to scroll past a post than read it.
To get this back on topic. Derka will derail an entire thread for multiple days. I don't engage him. I just stay out of the thread for a few days until he moves on. The only issue is he does it in the Movies and TV sub and will do it right after a new episode comes out which derails the discussion right after viewing.
He will also tag you if you choose to ignore his posts and will go back and beg random posts. Â But yes everyone else in the problem

Not mad - though I do think you’re suspect - I just think bullying is wrong and don’t care why it happens.
What do you think of Derka conspiring for months to get Motown perma banned?

Nah, I think if mods get involved (as he did with blacklab), that's the best way to go about this. Never thought I'd say it, but Derka was trying to go about this in the right way and imma shit all over him.
By getting a poster permabanned?  Ignore feature is your friend.  If your psyche is so weak to where you can’t just scroll past their post then maybe you shouldn’t be on a message board?

Agree or disagree this is immamacs site and I’ve seen Derka state he would put Motown in his suicide note.  How is this ok?
Â
Â
agree that Derka has a fuck ton of basketball insight but his hard on for Rodney is a distractionÂ
-
Why not just put Motown on ignore? Â Easy fix

If Texas does land Pope, it will be interesting who will start 1-3.Â
I think it will be Larry, Mack, and Johnson. Pope as the 6th man. Larry is a more prototypical PG so think he has to be in the starting lineup. Not sure where Weaver fits in this either.Â
Our backcourt could be pretty damn good next if it also includes Pope.Â
Weaver?
