Every Glide thread devolved into “you’re a racist” or “you don’t know what a point guard is.” Even if he makes it back, a tiger’s not gonna change its stripes. No ill will, just the facts.

Racism claims have been made on both sides. That is for those involved to sort out. Keeping it basketball, Glide talked a lot of basketball, PG, Tremont, III, etc. Somehow he got reactions out of people. Even now that he is gone for the moment, there is a 3 page thread on him here. lol. Whether if he is here or not, Glide knows how to "bring em out".

I believe hoyaeighties was an earlier board name Glide used. I, too, had some interesting PM and email conversations with Glide, going back years before he was Glide. In all of his various incarnations on this board, and he's had a few, he always managed to melt down and get himself banned. Personally, I was (once again) tired of his narcissistic, I know more about basketball than you, preaching down to the board. His constant attacks on posters was also a complete turnoff, especially when the posters didn't deserve it. That said, I hope he gets another life here after a sufficient cooling off period. Very interesting! I had no idea Glide was hoyaeighties but it makes sense. I think the mods do such a terrific job on this site they really let a lot go and give u a lot of rope. I know other boards give warnings left and right and quick to ban. Once PE gets things going this board will be rocking again. btb was another iteration.

Glide is just too much.
Look, years ago Georgetown moved his seats at home games from behind their bench to behind the opponents bench for a reason.
He's very extra.
Recently he was ruining every thread on this talkboard.

I don’t know him and have generally not battled with him, but if his biggest offenses are being an annoying fan and chat board troublemaker, is he really so big a villain as to merit all this discussion?

He responded to what may have been my first time post by calling my "Little Sky." Tame, perhaps, compared to what he has said about others but you can't deny his passion for the team.

My only complaint about glide is his almost automatic use of the racist label when anyone strongly and repeatedly disagrees with him about almost anything, no matter how trivial or innocuous. It does get a little annoying when he runs 7 or 8 straight posts in a non-game thread, but if he could just channel that passion . . .
