Depends on what they're about.
Lemme give you an example:
If you're tagging me about a topic, say the Heat in 2021, countless amount of times, and then when they get swept in the 1st round you then ignore all the quotes and tags that I directed at you in response, yes, that's cowardly and hypocritical.
Now if a troll makes a thread about absolutely nothing, and is just trying to bait the subject of the thread with corny ass white humor, and that poster has the OP on ignore and doesn't entertain any nonsense that person has posted, that doesn't make it cowardly and hypocritical. It makes them smart for not entertaining that nonsense to begin with.
Just for reference - the OP of that thread (who has changed his username multiple times so folks forget how much of a troll he is) has been a Warriors hater for years now and disappeared when GS won a title last season. He's trying to get some get-back after all the years he's embarrassed myself.
Oh so it’s okay to ignore posters that have years of saying stupid, trolling, low iq takes that don’t add anything relevant to the discussion to the point where it’s obvious they have some weirdo personal grudge over keeping the discussion basketball related?
Then no, I’m not a hypocrite or coward. How you feel about that poster is how I feel about you because you’re a bad faith debater that doesn’t stand on his own takes.
My opinion has never once wavered from 2021 to now and I’ve been consistent which is the Heat are a championship contending team.
I’ve been answered the 2021 Bucks series question so I dunno if you can’t read but I stated what went wrong for us but I never felt that series was a “gotcha” for you because the entire NBA season was turbulent due to COVID reeking havoc on the league.
The Heat underperformed, just like the Warriors, but I don’t think the Warriors weren’t a championship contenders because they didn’t make the playoffs in 2021. There were extenuating circumstances that led to their performance across the season.
Next question.
