    True.

    Unnecessary would be my reaction. a good bunch of mods, goaded by a rather strange OP

    Col will still say 'here he is again' though

    Dissemination, disingenuity and evasion. The art of the internet troll at it's finest.

    I'd say goodbye and good riddance, but you'll still be here in one form or another. <ok>

    I think swords is very amusing, and anyone who takes him seriously really needs to have a long look at themselves. The bile spewed at someone who essentially fills the 'court jester' role is embarrassing and a bit sad. A lot of supposedly rational and intelligent men are allowing themselves to become fixated upon/tormented by a faceless contributor on a football forum. Really? Come now, life is too short to get het up about things like that. There are enough real problems in the world without conjuring up another one.
    I've never picked up any hint of genuine malice in Swords' posts, and he doesn't strike me as an unpleasant person (unlike another contributor who was banned recently). He's a plonker and a wind-up but is essentially harmless.
    That said, Brix is an excellent mod and it must be irritating to feel under personal attack from the village idiot (i mean that in an amicable sense).
    If swords really is going then it's a shame, and the place won't be the same. There's a long off-season ahead which will probably require some amusement at some point. We've had a crap year, but the odd colourful character or two keeps things entertaining.

    Interesting post mate, I like to read swords posts most of the time but sometimes I just think why did you post that.
    Brix has probably spent 90% of his time on here over the last couple of days dealing with swords posts and I am sure that is not what he wants at the end of the day.

    I think the key point here is that Brix, against NUTS's opinion, did apply to the site owner for a separate OT Forum and was, for whatever reason, refused. I can't see what more Brix could've done to be fair and equitable on this subject. We are very fortunate to have him as our Moderator and long may he continue...

    Also, nothing against Telford, but it doesn't seem right that a guy with 33 posts is spearheading the movement to ban a guy with 4000(just from his latest incarnation..).
    Presumably Telford has had a previous account, but it's still pretty clear who's contributed more to the QPR board in the time that they've been here.

    Swords is anything but amusing and anyone who doesn't see this needs to have a long hard look at themselves. The "bile" (i.e. rational debate) spewed at him is proportionate to the the deliberate malice in his posts. Lot's of rational and intelligent men and women come on here to discuss their club. They don't come on here to be provoked and see every thread hijacked by an internet attention whore.

    Totally agree with this. Think many (me included) take this place a bit too seriously at times.

    From what i read in Sword's last post, It was him admitting he did wrong and (almost) appologising in public. I know he has people complaining about him all the time (I've read some of the complaints) but i just dont get that?
    Summer is gonna be long & boring and I dont think we're gonna get al the transfers & news we all want. Would be good to have a bit of mind numbing banter to read for the next few months.
    I accept that some of you have an issue with swords & thats for you guys to deal with. Anyone I have ever "e-fallen out" with, I have always made the effort to PM and appollogise / explain. Maybe others should try it?

    Anyway, If Swords goes, then I can see the forum becoming a lot worse off.
    thats just my personal opinion & I dont expect everyone to accept it; Not even you Telford, but i think its a bit harsh telling people to look at themselves just because they dont agree with your view point. Arent the rest of us allowed to have an opinion?

    Anyway, thats my take on it but obviously I dont see everything behind the scenes that brix does, so its just an average joe's view. Take it or leave it as you wish.!

    Have to disagree. Swords is too mean spirited to br described as court jester or village idiot, he knows exactly what he's about.
