Referee Eric Lewis won't work NBA Finals amid investigation


Eric Lewis was not selected as one of the 12 referees who will work the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat while the league continues to look into whether he used a Twitter account to defend himself and other officials from online critiques. Lewis had been chosen to work the Finals in each of the past four seasons. This year's Finals referees were announced by the league Thursday morning, about 12 hours before the start of the title series. Lewis has worked more than 1,200 games, counting the regular season and the playoffs, in 19 seasons as an NBA referee. He last worked May 16, when Denver played host to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

Subject: Cease and Desist - Disruptive Behavior


Dear Charles (@blackfoot NAP ; @C-40)

I am writing to address the persistent and disruptive activities that have become synonymous with your presence at TROLL KINGDOM. Your continuous posting of articles without any meaningful engagement, the incessant updating of threads with copied content, and the blatant use of "sock" accounts to manipulate post interactions, are detrimental to the community.

This letter serves as an explicit demand for the immediate cessation of these disruptive behaviors. TROLL KINGDOM is a space intended for substantive and meaningful discussions; your actions are not only counterproductive but actively detrimental to the community's atmosphere.

Your current online conduct reflects poorly on your own character and undermines the quality of interaction for genuine members seeking valuable discourse. It is evident that your approach deviates from the communal spirit TROLL KINGDOM strives to uphold.

I strongly urge you to reconsider your online conduct and recalibrate your approach to align with the ethos of TROLL KINGDOM. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me with no option but to escalate the matter further.

I trust that you will take this communication seriously and act promptly to rectify your online behavior.

Sincerely,
