Aloha
I’m stepping down as an editor for this blog. I’m really tired of the insults. Being a used of having a boy toy affair by Tom just because I have a high opinion of Malik Monk was just too much. Aloha.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Please rethink! LT blasted me once and I told him and he apologized. We all get a little off balance. Hope you stay!
I appreciate it DJ but I think remarks with sexual connotations is crossing the line in what’s acceptable to me.
Definition of boy toy
: a usually young man considered as an object of sexual desire
this is why DJ.
Man, this can’t be real. Where did this all begin and where will it end? Seems like a total confusion to me. I am completely blindsided.
This blog has been one of the most regarded and respected blogs for the Lakers nation, and everything Lakers, as evidenced by a poll posted here last year where the blog ranked 4th among the top 10 if my memory serves me.
While I would like to express my appreciation for both of you I am also concerned about the bickering. Disagreement exists in all facets of life but disagreements don’t have to have a negative ending! Dealing with or overcoming disagreement together can make us stronger.
We must accept that our perspectives can be different but not wrong. And even if those perspectives are thought to be wrong, let’s just remain calm and seek commonalities that lead to a win-win situation.
We must have a forward-looking focus on making the blog a better hang-out spot and just let the dead bury the dead.
Let us all chill and calm down.
I’m sorry to hear this Michael, I must have missed that exchange but know that Sean also felt. Tom can have a heavy-handed way of enforcing his points and ideas without allowing for many other viewpoints to be seen in the same light. I don’t think he intends for some of those things to come off as being insulting but they do. Sean had a similar issue in a podcast , which I personally believe he took too far but also who am I to say how another person should feel or think? At any rate I do how you reconsider or at the very least continue to pop by from time to time. Regardless of the choice you make keep on enjoying life, be well and go Lakers.
I have apologized to Michael for my hurtful comment and have asked him to reconsider remaining as Blog Editor. I also explained that I never intended to accuse him of any sexual connection with Malik Monk and should have not used the words I did. I was trying to say he was just infatuated with a great young Lakers player much like I was with THT and then also with Monk. At any rate, my apologies for this happening. It’s my fault and I accept responsibility and will try hard not to allow it to happen again. I do hope Michael will accept my apology and reconsider. If not, my best wishes to him and he will always be welcome to return. Thanks.
Great step, Tom. I hope this will help clear the air. I am glad you reached out. I felt like something unintended happened, and you and Michael have good rapport with each other. Let’s hope Michael lets it go.
I accept your apology Tom. One can strongly disagree with another but I just believe that the blog should be free of name calling and personal attacks. I feel this can result in greater participation amongst those in that visit the blog.
Very true, Michael. I agree with your statement. You accepting Tom’s apology is truly admirable and goes to show we all can move past our differences. Always remember you are a pillar and a reasonable voice on this blog. Looking forward to more of your posts.
Thanks Buba
You are more than welcome, Michael. I hope the weather in Hawaii is treating you well. We’ve been having great weather here in Atlanta. It looks gorgeous and pleasant. We are bracing for a rainy week next week, starting Sunday.
