    You really think his constant comments about dead or dying people are acceptable?

    Why is he held to a different standard than the rest of us?

    He's not. Can you give me an example of somebody else being censured for it?

    You might want to check my comments about Anton Walkes before making comments like that...

    Not for making a comment about someone dying, though.
    There are very few rules on this forum and I think this board only adds one:
    No insults or abuse towards other people that can post on here.

    I didn’t insult him though. Yes I’m still bitter about it as I feel @Spurf only deleted it because it was said by me.

    It’s petty I agree but I have to be careful what I say here as otherwise my comments will be deleted.

    All I want is consistency

    This isn't the case.
    Wasn't the comment something along the lines of asking what was wrong with him?
    That's insulting.

    Do you believe that Croydon's been insulting to you? If not, I'm failing to see any inconsistency.

    He said something outrageous so I asked “what is wrong with you”

    Im sorry but if you’re deleting that then you better be deleting numerous posts. If someone else had said it then it wouldn’t have been deleted.

    "What's wrong with you?" is saying that there's something wrong with you.
    It's insulting, especially in the context that you asked it.
    You were suggesting, at the very least, that there's something wrong with him.

    It wasn't deleted because you posted it, I can assure you.
    I'd restore it and apologise, if I thought that was the case.
    Do you have an example of it being left up when someone else posted it?

    Because he says numerous things that are bizarre, classless and unacceptable imo. If he has autism (not meant in an insulting way) then it would explain so much about his posts and general behaviour on here

    A lot of people would suggest that autism isn't "something wrong with" those that have it.
    They might take that to be a "classless and unacceptable" comment.

    If you think that a comment is unacceptable, then I'd suggest contacting the mods on here.
    Alternatively, just address it with the poster without being insulting.
    There's no need to break one of the very few rules we have to do it.

    Maybe I should have just asked if he was autistic than “what’s wrong with you” but I’ve had a lot worse said to me than that and I think that would have been worse than asking what I did.

    Thanks for the clarification

    The reality is he does do all of these things. His posts are often unacceptable and bang out of order imo.

    FootballDotLondon (but not Alasdair Gold) are suddenly throwing James Maddison's name out there again

    TBH this looks like some 4D clickbait chess, as the logic is that because Anthony Gordon's off to Newcastle that gives us a free run at Maddison, but worth mentioning incase something does gestate over the weekend

    Completely agree. Understanding what can be more easily improved and what can't is an essential first step in the pursuit of excellence. You need to avoid logical mistakes such as 'Leicester have won two trophies since we won our last one so they must be doing things better than us'.
    One of the reasons I support ENIC is that they seem to me to be pursuing excellence and are doing most of the things that I would be doing if I owned the club. And on all sensible measures they are doing it rather well.

    Florian Plettenberg claims that there's optimism that H will sign a new contract with us - and, crucially given Plettenberg is the Bayern version of Dan KP or Alasdair Gold, the Bayern hierarchy are pessimistic of their chances

    It's also worth noting Bayern's subreddit is full of their fans being dismissive of him, which I'm sure the Welt der Bayern blog is going to be unhappy about given the lack of ehrgeiz their fans are showing...

    As PNP has already carefully explained and as I had already explained to you, personal insults will not be allowed on the Spurs board. We are not here as mods to judge other posters opinions, whether they are classless or not is not an issue we mod on. As PNP and I have both said we have very few rules. You can always go on to the premier board and make your comments and they may not mind. Each board makes it's own rules.
    Just to recap: No personal insults on the Spurs board, thank you.
