    Default Posters say they are Objective. Can this be really possible here??

    On a basketball fan message board? Really?

    I don't think it's possible to be truly objective (and that being such would take a lot of fun out of sports IMO), but posting without an agenda is.

    This

    Having opinions and a bias is understandable. It's the "stannery" and agendas that are the problem.

    This. But posting without an agenda is no fun, which is why I rarely do so.

    Rake is the closest thing to a completely objective poster I've ever seen. Sometimes I forget he's actually a person.

    Basketball has alot of factual numbers, you can objective to a degree.

    What I mean is, posters on here might comment to sound like they don't have an agenda one way or another on a topic or team, but at the end of the day we all do here.

    I think it's unnatural to avoid showing your bias or agenda.

    As fans, we are a passionate mob. The lifeless ones I don't care for really, they are just road cones.

    You already know my stance on box scores and accolades.

    I already know this is a response to my D Rose thread, so I'll set the record clear.

    I straight up had no agenda in asking when DRose would return to form. Believe what you wish. It is the truth.

    I'm not sure if we're thinking about the same thing though.

    The agendas here that kill the board are posts/threads looking to use deceptive tactics to plant a seed in other posters' minds. Nothing lamer than a poster ranting about something he doesn't actually believe, just to defend the position he's chosen.

    Maybe it's just me, and other posters don't mind it as much.

    I was talking about pointing out inaccuracies though.

    For example if someone Player X has never averaged 20 a game. I can objectively demonstrate that he has.

    Now the overarching discussion may probably be filled with an agenda. But that doesnt mean we can be objective at all.

    No worries.

    I believe you.

    I was just pointing out the strange polar opposites in opinion that you had.

    It's not worth going on about really, all good

    On an abrasive poster scale, you would probably record a 0.

    I know you to be a good Lakers fan, being overly opinionated isn't your thing.

    I totally agree with you. Anything Dubeta and his countless Alts posts up is exactly what you're talking about. Planting that seed of propaganda
