Source: TDS Makes Huge Mistake

[I'd like to welcome BD34 to the staff. Thanks to all those who showed interest in joining as well. Keep adding great content to the FanPosts - if there is ever an opening, that's where I look first. - Tom]

They have brought me on as a contributing writer to TDS and I'm grateful for the opportunity. My friends, apparently it is possible to aimlessly wander your way into upward mobility. If you follow Tom on Twitter you knew this was coming. I appreciate the collective groan ahead of time.

Anyway, I figure I should at least let you know what I'll be doing around here. Aside from the usual rampant amount of immaturity, hubris, and taunting I actually have to contribute now. This might come as a shock to some readers that I can contribute. To others, I appreciate the kind words and support I've gotten. As for what I'll be contributing, my usual "essentially nothing", some columns as news provides, and a mailbag for user comments and questions to get the community a bit more involved with the content generation outside of the fanposts.

Mailbag suggestions can be submitted to tdsmailbag@gmail.com and during the summer, since news is slow, I was thinking I'll do them every couple of a weeks, if there's not enough content, then there won't be a mailbag for that term. The Mailbag e-mail will also be the e-mail by which you can contact me. Please mark any Mailbag questions with "Mailbag: " in the subject line. All death threats and what not will be recognized as personal e-mail.

No cursing in title. No pirated material, such as links to online game streams. Do not cut/paste entire sections of content from other websites. Thanks.

Congrats

I know a few regular contributors who might have some not so nice things to say though. You know their names.

Haha rec'd

For the “beingadick-butnotbeinganannoyingdick” part. I’d say that is a pretty damn good approximation of BD in one(ish) word.

I was totally against this

(sees Tom wielding the Banhammer) I mean, yeah, I was totally behind this.

In all seriousness, welcome aboard my man. I look forward to seeing you contribute more of your insight.

Ill give you the McHale treatment

Not my first choice, but Im willing to see what you can do to make this place better. At the end of the summer, Ill make my full evaluation and then voice whether this was a good idea or not. If its not then I will do to Tom what I do to Morey, tweet mean and hurtful things to him about his decision making and tell him he’s on the hotseat.

Haha yes you're in elite company

I have like 50 total friends on facebook, I didn’t even realize I knew 50 people. And Dave doesn’t even want to be my friend. I think he still resents me for comparing the Rockets to the Cowboys (even though I was totally right).

It's about quality. Since I'm on the friends list, clearly it's quality now.

I gotta get ahead on reading here for a visit I have next week but I think I’ll throw up a column in the next couple of days, mostly cause I like to be better than herpes in my new position. Show up as soon as possible rather than leave ya guessing.

I noticed that

The people that regularly have heated exchanges with BD have not commented. I imagine they have committed suicide or just ran to clutchfans. Banhammers will now be issued for stupid trade ideas, Thabeet bashing, and T-Will hating.

Accepted it and got plenty of welcome from the guys. Looking forward to putting up my first column as a contributing writer tomorrow.

I hear you

I got this sweet job this summer, but it doesn’t start for another 2 weeks and pays like crap. So I’m working 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week over the next 2 weeks at the local golf course in the hot sun and it’s killing me. My ass has been torn out as well.

I just thought about something

Can you still be an asshole or are you going to be tied down now? Also, can you banhammer people? That would be some funny shit.

Would anybody recognize me if I went all smiles, kittens, and kindness?

Don’t think I can ban, nor would I want to. People grind on my nerves but don’t violate rules, but that’s for Tom, Dave, and Lee. I just write stupid crap now.

We can't let him ban people

Otherwise we would have no community!
