Packed it in same time as me - both had enough of constant sniping. I came back (much to a few people's annoyance) and he stayed away.
Breezy got himself banned twice, because he continually disrupted threads deliberately, he was warned more than once by Chico, and Norway, and this myth, that he was hounded off here, perpetuated by yourself is laughable, trouble is your view is tainted by your own vindictive agenda!.....................
Norway, you've always had cracking threads and posts! Sad to see you leave as your posts are the most interesting ones. Si ifra om du finner et annet bra forum!!
A thread about one of our most productive posters leaving and Phil turns it into something else. Leave it out for god's sake. I deliberately didn't name names to avoid your involvement. Breezy made it plain that his beef was the fact that people were being bullied. He may have been OTT and wouldn't take telling but that was the reason. Now drop it. This thread isn't about you, me or Breezy.
Just a few short weeks ago this whole board were united together. One of our own suffered an injustice by receiving a ban from the site because he upset a Liverpool mod because of a post he put up on this, our board. Quite rightly we were outraged what happened to Swim and the show of unity was tremendous. How times change and for the worse too. Making life a misery for our mods is not going to help. If they make a decision then stop badgering them as to why. It's difficult enough for them anyway and as long as they give a reason for what they do then that decision should be respected. It's a sad day when one of them decides to step away not just from being a mod but the whole forum too. I've looked at other boards and trust me Ash and Norway are two of the most laid back and best mods out there. They deserve our respect and backing not what they've been putting up with recently. Pointing the finger at individual posters is not going to help so I won't do it. The most important thing now is to take stock of things and decide how best to move on from here. One thing for sure is that things cannot continue as they have been. Perhaps we can all look at ourselves and decide to make a conscious decision to self moderate and post with a little less passion and a bit more thought. Also we should do this amongst ourselves too. No disrespect meant to any decent visitors but this is a Swansea issue and only Swans posters should be involved in where we go from here.
The reason I've commented on your view of Breezy, is that your not being objective, and how could you be, as you took sides on the issue, and anyway it was all up to Breezy, he had admitted himself he was fed up with this forum, seems to me he wanted banning, even I asked him nicely on a number of occasions to let it go, but oh no he was not going to do that, so the way I see it, our mods had no alternative, but you and Vetch just keep going at this bone don't you! Only saying like.....................
I was expressing an opinion as to why I thought Breezy left. Or is that not allowed now? Stop turning the thread into something it's not in order to score points. I'll have no truck with it. Ironic that you're bickering about something else on a thread about a valued poster leaving because he's fed up with just this sort of crap. Think on.
I'd like to nominate Swim, PGF, SA9, Ivor, Phil and FFS too. With all that lot as mods no one would dare step out of line. Ivor is really sensible, level headed and a great poster. The others are psychotic nutters that people would be too afraid to cross
Knackered your the one that focused on the Breezy issue, why? what has it to do with Norway throwing in the towel? bugger all, and we can do without it at the moment, it just clouds the current issue!............. PS: Yes WBA have scored!.................. please log in to view this image
