Cleveland woke up Friday morning still reeling from LeBron James' Thursday night special when he announced he was going to sign with the Miami Heat. As expected, commenters on cleveland.com vented their frustrations. Here is a sampling of what you are saying.

In the final edition of the LeBron-O-Meter, user can't get over the fact that LeBron James forgot to thank someone:

"In this whole hour-long special, LBJ did not specifically thank the fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers or, for that matter, the people of Northeast Ohio.By all means, we have reason to be upset, but within reason. Any reasonable fan can see that he is going to a potentially amazing team. A chance like that rarely comes around in anyone's lifetime. So it's not like he's just chasing the money.But is it too much to expect him to be grateful and gracious towards the fans that have supported him his entire life? He thanked Paul Silas. He thanked the University of Phoenix and Vitamin Water. He did not thank his hometown fans. This more than anything, enrages me."
In response to Bill Livingston's column comparing LeBron to Art Modell, tribe37 agrees:

"LeBron has joined the ranks of Art Modell as the most despised person in Northeast Ohio. He should remove the 'Loyalty' tattoo from that arm since he showed none. His legacy will be Game 5 vs Boston."
In response to a story on Dan Gilbert's interview with the Associated Press, tension1 hopes LeBron James takes his people with him:

"LeBron, do us one favor, please. Make sure you take your cheeseball friends with you - the ones who act like they've earned something by answering your phone and spending your money."
Responding to Terry Pluto's column on LeBron's decision, andre3000 isn't happy that LeBron held the Cavs hostage for so long just to leave:

"The real crime is how he handcuffed the organization for years with his draftpick-eating demands then leaves for a sexier team after he gives up in the playoffs."
