Think he copted a perm ban. Looked his was just debating with smug but may have been more to it. Didn't mind him me. Challenged points and didn't always toe the Safc line, which is important when things need challenging.
I missed it all too but probably because I had Exile on ignore. He irritated me, which probably says as much about me as it does about him, so onto ignore he went. Best way to deal with these things.
The **** that's flown on here over the years and I've never seen someone permanently banned. And I think I was a mod for a couple of years. Must have been bad. Why the hell don't I have any memory of exile at all!
Probably because he was anonymous really. He never broke any forum rules or anything like that. He just had his own mind and rarely went with the majority. That was enough to perm ban him. Not many agreed with it.
It did seem heavy handed and a little bit of a surprise. He wasn’t abusive or offensive. I think it was that he was rubbing a load of people up the wrong way with numerous posts. The club wasn’t doing very well and people were highly strung already - a bit like adding kerosene to the fire whether he meant to or not. I liked some of his alternative viewpoints but his negativity was getting a bit much before the ban imo.
Very good point mate. Exile wasn’t / isn’t that high a profile guy and that probably counted against him.
Chunks, I really hoped that you'd have let this drop, fair enough you want to carry it on. So I'll repeat what I've said, my four responses to you were absolutely reasonable, polite and regarding the thread. You replied with a personal dig at me and said we were having an argument, I certainly wasn't. My comments are there for everyone to see although I expect most people are as bored with this as I am. You seem to have a problem with my 'relentless positivity' and keep commenting about it, too bad, I'm an optimist. in the same breath you're saying I'm criticising the club and ground improvement scheme. There was no need for you to kick off about four harmless comments but, if you start being personal, you should expect it back. Now you're trying to convince other people, and yourself, that I kicked off when I didn't. No doubt there'll be a few, who also have a grudge, who'll join in but it's totally predictable who they'll be. I try not to respond to your posts to me, because you're so touchy, and it was you who posted to me on this thread. Just don't respond to me unless you expect me to reply .... how difficult is that to grasp? This is what I said and you deliberately misquoted me by missing off some of what I'd said. "If people are so desperate for the internet, at a Sunderland match, I'd say they've completely missed the entire point of being there ... ... no wonder the place was so quiet, on Saturday, if people are fretting about the standard of the PA system. But, as I've said, I'm all for things being 2026, not 1986. It's just not my personal priority." This is your response which missed off the part in bold. "Unfortunately times have changed and the club have to move with the times. Welcome to football 2024." #90 Chunksafc, Tuesday at 9:42 PM Case closed, I won't respond to your posts again ... do the same and threads won't be disrupted.
I had no hand in this banning mate. I had Exile on ignore for a year so didn't make any comments. When a thread wasn't making any sense I'd 'unignore' content and find he was responding to all of my quotes, quoting me, making personal comments that had nothing to do with the thread subject. I still didn't respond. He was making some nasty comments about how I'm some kind of ticket tout. I actually lose money, on helping people, because I never pass on booking fees, postage, etc. Exile posting about me being Mister Ticket could easily put someone off asking for help and therefore missing a match. (I'm currently trying for Leeds tickets, for Topcat, who I've helped before ... we've had some pretty frank arguments, about football on here, but he can handle that and doesn't carry on grudges for month after month.) Suggesting a poster is a ticket tout could also cause big problems for the forum ... it's illegal and RTG don't allow anyone to even mention tickets. I asked the Mods, two of them, to ask Exile to stop these Mister Ticket comments and, from what I was told, he either argued of ignored the request. I've no idea how the discussion went and couldn't really care. This wasn't a one off, he kept up an attack on me for over a year and many of his posts were deleted so I can understand why people don't realise how relentless these attacks were. I'd put him on ignore but he continued attacking me, f*ck him.
I worked with lads who were putting the cable in for the telephones in the cells in HMP, Exeter, reckon I could do most of their job, apart from the fiddly bit at the end
Fair enough mate, i didnt see those so apologies That would be personal attacks which shouldnt be tolerated on this forum We will all disagree with each other from time to time but when it gets personal thats when folk should be held accountable
So my priorities aren't the same as some other people and I ramble on about matches from the old days ... ... unless there's a rule we can only hold approved views and discuss subjects from 2024 I really don't see where I'm going wrong. If people don't like my posts just ignore them as I do with some people's. Have a pop and I'll respond, otherwise I just bumble along harmlessly.
This thread started with good news about plans for The Stadium and has descended into some 'tit for tat' responses from some and some deliberate 'stirring' . . . . let's keep it to the good news part, eh, lads
Nowt wrong with differing views, it's what makes message boards worthwhile. You and I bump heads on a few non-football matters but doesn't mean we have to fall out or start name calling. I liken this message board to my old 5-a-side mates - we'd kick 7 shades of **** out each other, then go for a pint. No-one fell out.
Surely there's a line drawn here. If I make comments about football, Gaza or Boris Johnson I expect people to disagree and they can ridicule my opinions without any problem. I respond. It's when people realise they've lost their argument that they hoy in the personal stuff. When that happens I'll respond in kind. Why should I have to be mocked as Mister Ticket on a thread about Boris bloody Johnson. Anyway, that's enough of that, this should be a decent thread talking about progress at the Club.
