    Thanks for clarifying. Interesting how his comment was deemed acceptable but mine was.

    I didn’t attack anyone btw. I just asked what is wrong with him to keep making those classless remarks.

    Conte’s making mistakes but ultimately he doesn’t have enough players he can rely on. He’s got 3-4 when he needs double that.

    I think there is a precedent for deleting comments which amount to an argument between individuals, which could be conducted by private messages.
    In the past it has just derailed threads.
    Not saying you were wrong to express your views though.

    Come on King. His comment did not attack you. Yours was directed at him not the comment. Its not a big deal thats why i stopped it before it became one. You know we draw the line at personal comments.

    With Kane, Kulusevski, Son*, Perisic, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Lenglet, Romero, Lloris plus a few other squad players to choose from, as well as the ability to not select Emerson and Doherty, he should be able to rely upon more than 3-4 but his tactics and selections are sucking the life out of us (as well as the fans) and that’s why he can’t rely on more, because many are suffering due to his management.

    *the normal Son

    No it didn’t attack me but it’s another classless comment about dead people or people dying.

    I simply asked “what is wrong with you”, that’s a question not a personal attack.

    I’m sorry you read it in context that it wasn’t meant

    I cannot believe this.

    What is wrong with you says quite clearly that there is something wrong with you what is it?

    You could for example have asked is there something wrong that causes you to say what you did.

    It just use of English which could, and in fact has according to you, been subject to a misunderstanding.

    I cant spell it out any clearer King
    Lets move on. Its really not worth this detailed discussion. No bones are broken.

    If it’s worth deleting (an extreme move imo) then asking for clarification isn’t too detailed.

    You’re the boss though so I’ll leave it there. Would like to end with I don’t think it’s a great way of policing the site though and also disappointing that none of the mods would answer until I asked 3 times but again you guys are in charge so who am I to complain.

    As you insist.

    You are making such an issue here on a matter of very little importance. If you were honest with yourself you would easily see that your comment could be construed as a personal insult. The one major rule the mods have instigated is to not allow personal insults or attacks. I have fully explained why your comment could be misunderstood and why the easiest thing to do is to delete it. No one is preventing you coming back and putting it another way unless of course it's exactly what you meant. In which case it needs deleting.

    However everyone is always able to suggest changes to our moderation or changes to the moderators. Overall our board seems to operate fairly well but if you think it doesn't then you can make your suggestions and if you have enough support changes will happen.

    As for discussing this with you before deleting? I think the conversation we are having now shows quite clearly why that's not a good idea. Finally if you wish for a quick response then PM. The mods are not on here 24/7 and will not always see every line written.

    That should be enough on this King unless you want to lobby for changes and get other posters involved.

    It’s not but they have to be fair and consistent.

    Some posters says outrageous things on here and monopolise threads but I don’t see any of their posts deleted or warnings given for ruining the forum.

    We’ll leave it there. Never going to agree and I think even some of your language in your latest reply is quite personal too. You don’t like me or my views which is fine but that is becoming more and more of an issue on this forum, recently you dm me saying I was attacking your character and now you’re deleting my posts without explanation (I shouldn’t have had to ask 3 times to get an explanation).

    Best course of action is for me to just not post on the Spurs board for a while I feel, that way I won’t annoy you Spurf and won’t end up banned which is your end game imo.

    One of the issues with writing messages is that we can't see people's facial expressions which can be a huge part of communicating and understanding what some one is saying.
    I have a dark and pretty rude sense of humour which ain't to everyone's taste so I have pussed a couple of posters in here off.
    I still responded to these posters but was much more careful cos I don't wanna spoil anyone's enjoyment on here. I really find it a good way to chill especially on bad days so figure others may feel a similar way.

    What I took from your message was that the other poster was irritating you and it kind of looked personal to me.

    I get we aren't all to each others tastes but it seems a shame that we just ignore someone rather than disappear.

    I ain't gotta dog in this fight so hope this comes across as I mean it to.

    Have a great new year

    This is the only reason I post.

    I reckon half the board hate me, a quarter of the board tolerate me and the rest like me because they’re equally a bit of a knob like myself.

    In the words of the famous philosopher, Borat:
    Great success!

    Tell the truth and shame the devil! If you're not expressing what you truly think, what is the ****ing point?

    I know that in the summer of 2021, I and a select few others, majorly pissed some people off by calling out ENIC for a lack of sporting investment, Levy for appointing Nuno, Mourinho and Hitchens and then running an appalling transfer committee that was leading us back into mid-table, whilst we paid the highest ticket prices in football. It's all about opinions...and I wasn't keeping quiet on them, for anyone or anything.

    Power and I disagreed fundamentally on a daily basis, but I supported his and Spurf's right to be as wrong as they seemed to want to be...just as I am on a regular basis. Anyone who thinks they hold a monopoly on the truth is a ****ing idiot and a complete bore, to boot.

    Keep posting!
