Swords.......you are the type of person who causes more racial tension than half the members of the BNP!! You see offence being stated against everything and everyone in your liberal, hand-wringing mental way. You point out a racial injustice where none exists, thus bringing up racial tension where there was none. I'm sure you are horrified at the terms blackboard and accident black spot!! You really are such a bore!! Being patriotic is NOT being racist or xenophobic!!
now that we have chased away cerny is it swords turn to be dealt with what has he done that was so bad if you dont want to read his posts then dont
It's very simple Kiwi, he loves dishing it out. I couldn't give a sh*t what he thinks but when he goes totally over the top criticising me for making perfectly reasonable comments I'll give him it with both barrels. Some people can't take it and crawl away, I'll take him head-on...
2 things... personally not offended by anything sword says, but then again why would i be..... secondly, agree with the post...If you dish it out then you have to be able to take it as well..... I read the posts and didnt even realise you guys were being serious until late on....!! Couldn't see it myself.....? Play nicely boyz !
Swords is a great poster. He makes perceptive points and has put up some of the funniest stuff I've seen on this board. When his pc packed up, the board lost colour. He does, I admit, go on a moral crusade every so often with personal criticisms flying - for reasons which I must say are mostly beyond me! But then if he didn't, he wouldn't be Swords. I guess you could say he's double-edged.
Can we start slaying some myths about Cerny here and now? Cerny was not "chased" away. He's an internet attention whore who wanted a reaction and got one. An empty bucket looking for somewhere to make a loud noise. No opinions, no insights, nothing. Just an anonymous nobody at the end of a keyboard looking to provoke a negative reaction out of people. Anybody up for discussing this? I ask because I still don't think some people get it. I don't think you do. If you're up for the discussion, here's my first question. What did he bring to this forum?
True but many are, see BNP, EDL, National Front, Monday Club, 1922 Committee. Right wing politics and racism have always gone hand in hand. Denial of that is futile.
Deliberate disruption, ie a WUM. Swords is far more intelligent and uses one or two pet themes, tribalism and racism as sticks to beat posters with. A football forum is by it's nature tribal and a Euro or World Cup tournament is by it's nature nationalistic, two traits that stimulate Swords wumming gene. His open cheering on of Chelsea in the Champions League Final was deliberately provoking responses and Swords response was the clever 'village-idiot' posture saying he doesn't get it. DELIBERATE WUMMING...
Cerny? He's gone hasn't he. This thread is about Swords. Swords is great - leave him alone! He livens this Forum up, as Goldhawk said. Thinngs do get all too predictable when youi know pretty well who will say what on any given subject. With Swords and Dave in particular I never know, so when I see they have posted I go there first. Keep it coming Swords
Sorry Oslo, just to clarify nothing against Swords. On a real bitch of a work schedule atm and just picking up on odd posts before bed. Sorry for hijacking thread.
Swords can be a real arse at times. However, ALL of us can be real arses at times. Very much including myself. the nice thing is, we all know it, and we're all RRR's. Personally, I want us to sign a spaniard, so we can hold up a huge sign with the words "R's Ole!" on it.
I can honsstly say i dont have a problem with Swords,sometimes he goes over the top,but in general his posts are rational he just throws his toys out the pram occasionaly
He gives it and takes it in good enough spirits. Some of the best posts have come in response to his devil's advocate like posts and I think he's pretty sharp on eliciting those responses. I think he provokes a lot for his own entertainment but is one of us and don't think his valuable place on this forum should be called into question.
I think this is spot on. No way would I want him to go, he's a bit like piles but I've got the ointment!...
I never thought Id see Porky and thought in the same sentence! Just put him on ignore, he contradicts himself just so he can start an argument with someone. Hes a waste.
i must have missed the thread in which he got up your nose which one was it so i can go have a look at the thread that is..not your nose
