Over the years I drifted in and out of BBC606 mainly as all reasonable debate could be stopped in it's tracks by one complaint killing a thread. The complaint didn't have to be valid and no recourse to defend yourself. The Mugs used it all the time when losing a debate with no abusive posts. The Mods continually allowed Mug submissions and deleted Sunderland ones. fair moderation on there? My Arse! My inbox is nice and neat now, as I don't have dozens of eMails a day from the BBC saying a thread I had commented on had been deleted or post removed. Will it be missed not by me!
Check you inbox and dont do it again, final warning ***please dont reply to pm because you will be ignored..
Try HERE and ...sshhh, it's very, very quiet there recently - and remember, no shouting, blowing off steam or swearing etc
Shut it down so that news readers can have a nice house up North when they move to read the breakfast crap that no one gives a flying rats ass about anyway.
Fair point syd after Saturdays game I feel a bit better about the next couple of games (both at home I think) and these two games should see us safe. Good god I've got to lay off the drink.
