You're right. Thanks saucey.
Took me a solid 5 minutes of guessing. We’re just abbreviating AWWTD.

Who knows. But if you are a changed person why not scrub your past?

They would have to give me picks to take Gallinari.
Or Landry Shamet.
I'd do that!
Go Suns!

She’s got 61K tweets, maybe she didn’t remember?

Dump Jackson, stretch Tyler and we can max Russell. We can even take back 4ish million in a Jackson trade and still have a max slot.
My optimism is dead. I’ve been fully expecting Corey Joseph or TJ McConnell as our starting point next year for the last few weeks. Part of me thinks the Suns value Tyler’s contract for this season’s deadline.
And that's if we're lucky and do anything. We can't have nice things.

This is kind of ridiculous. I'm not a fan of the way she goes about her 'reporting.' I thought the same thing about all the things she said about Igor after the fact.
She's having a bad day.
Her account has been suspended. What did she say?

ETA: Never mind. Saw the follow up.

Holy shit. These were not some borderline meh comments. Fucking racist as shit. No expiration date on garbage like this.

I am more than a bit disturbed to see how anyone could be raising questions like why people are digging old posts like this up or defending her by saying she has so many posts.

There is NO defense for that. On top of that, she's and idiot for not cleaning up her shit.

I haven’t read the tweets and didn’t mean to give an indication that I was defending her. Just offering a possible explanation.

I'm not defending or excusing what she said either. I just don't have an appetite for witch hunts over things people said almost 10 years ago.

James Gunn got his job back. Maybe Nevel will be OK.

Honestly I know nothing about her. I've never followed her reporting. When someone posted her tweet a few weeks ago, that was the first time I had her even heard of her.

She works for brightside of the sun I think. She was on a solar panel podcast episode right after the season ended and that’s when I first remember anything involving her.

The idea of ratting out or "canceling" people for past behavior or words or tweets is happening in politics right now. Without getting into a political context, my take on this in general is that the past behavior/words do matter, but what you've done since then also matters. So if you, for example, said something sexist or homophobic in the past, but then you have gone on to apologize for it, correct yourself and say better things, do work to repair the damage and/or work with that community, etc., then I think you absolutely can and should be forgiven. But in many of these cases, the person has not "repented" or fixed the problem at all. They just said a bunch of homophobic or racist things in the past, and that's it. Just because those words are old doesn't mean you immediately dismiss or forgive them. If there's no clear evidence that they are sorry for saying those things, regret doing so, and have shown clear evidence that they have changed and made themselves better, then absolutely it's right to judge them for it.
