XL does know basketball, but he makes some incredible claims and is prone to calling people out for being "fat" or for someone being optimistic during his pessimistic streaks. He b*tches more than he critiques and often has an "I told you so" for situations where they aren't necessary. NO ONE from the sunshine or the "realistic/pessimistic" crowd likes the "I told you so" poster, and XL2Win always shows up to rub salt in wounds. His presence is far more obvious after losses, and it's usually to bring down people who think that Turgeon doesn't suck or that the team hasn't fallen apart. For every 1 good post about basketball, there's 10 posts calling someone names or pointing out that someone was "stupid" for having thought the team would accomplish Feat X.
Then he sucks at making fun of people, so I sometimes assume he's a combination of 6 over 50 year old posters scrambling to prove he's legitimate at the internet by bragging about his racing career on a basketball board. There's an automotive board for that. I get that you race, I just don't care.
I'm willing to bury the hatchet simply because attempting to go against anything XL2Win has ever said is the biggest waste of time ever. His inability to argue is his greatest strength, because you get that he is obviously patting himself on the back for every "nuh uh" or "you'r e wrong and that's the way it is" post he's ever made.
XL, if you start a photobucket account at
www.photobucket.com, it will give you the option to upload photos. Once you click the Upload button, you just have to browse your computer for the location of your photos and then double click on them and click "ok" to put them on your photobucket page. Then it will have an HTML line (IMG) under each picture that you can click in once and it will copy the code you need to paste the picture in Texags. It's free to use, and since I'm sure this is being taken as a threat, you can post your racing pictures and then high five everyone at work and talk about how you won the internet.
