Seems that I upset some people on Saturday. I don't set out with the intention to upset anyone on the club forum and I am genuinley saddened to see that one of the most respected posters on the forum is now saying he'll leave because of things i've said. I hope he will rethink. Lots of things are said in the heat of the moment but our forum is pretty much the friendliest on here. i'm not a disingenuous person so i'm not going to retract anything I've said but i am going to apologise if people have taken offence. I love this club as much as anyone and obviously hope we win on Thursday and sunday. We all disagree with each other but I'll try to be more civil in future. Finally, Leonardo - please don't leave this forum.
Saturday was a disappointing day for all Watford supporters so there was always going to be one or two upset. The one or two Leeds wums did not help the situation, everyone can get together and support the team through the playoffs.
Yes Dan, I was not at all happy with the way you used a WUM who most of us tried to ignore to state things that were anti OUR team. I have seen that you have been getting praise on the Leeds board for the way in which you agreed with the guy who admitted that he only came here to wind people up. Not too clever for someone who claims to love the club and finds this forum friendly. Creating a stir on your own club's site is something I don't understand. Heat of the moment is an argument I have heard on school playgrounds and is not an acceptable route to take. As probably the oldest person who posts on here, I learnt a long time ago to think before you speak. I agree with you that Leo is one of the most respected posters on this site. His insight and use of language to inform us is not to be ignored. We are not expecting that our views will be the same, we have been influenced by our backgrounds and life. What we can agree on is to watch and listen to what others have to say and respect their point of view without always agreeing. Finally, Leonardo - please don't leave this forum. Yes we can agree.
Lenny - we have had a few words over the years and I have had to apologise for some badly chosen words to a few people on here and on other MB's. Now is the time for us all to stick together and get behind our club...so your input and wise counsel will be hugely missed. I can see why both you and Dan are both a pissed off with each other, but please accept his gracious apology and move on. Over the years on 606 and now not606 we have all shared a lot of our experiences of Watford supporters and of life itself and this MB will be a worse place without you. From a purely selfish perspective, who else will I have battling with the lefties on here?
Really not the time to be falling out with eachother, especially not because of some scrote who came to cause trouble. When we win the play offs everything will be fine.
I agree... I imagine a couple of wummers will be rubbing their mice at this...... let's not fall for it.....
I have been reading this board for a number of years now but have been reluctant to contribute until I felt confident I could. I would hate any long established members to leave without at least talking it through. We are all sometimes not great at communication saying things we did not really intend or not expecting what we say to be interpreted in a particular way and I would be the first to hold my hand up here. Please can we ignore any non Watford supporters who cannot post anything constructive. Personally I find it very nice hearing the views that "come in peace".
As a "non Watford" poster on here, what first attracted me to this forum was the standard of debate and the tolerance of a different view point, the fact that so many on here can passionately give their views and readily accept that others may disagree, I find extremely refreshing! Leo, please come back, you were one of the first to make me feel welcome on here, this forum needs and desires your input!
Seems I have some catching up to do, Leo your contribution here has been immense , I suspect you enjoy your time here ,please dont leave because of heated words . You and I have had our differences in the past ,but I think you would be unwise to leave and I hope you reconsider.
Guys and gals. If you dont like a post, or feel that the person who made that post has offended you feel free to use the report post button (warning triangle under the post) which sends myself and H and email saying who and why it was reported. We can then take an appropriate action. I have deleted a couple of posts and closed the MT, so hopefully that incident will now end and we can hopefully be friends again. Leo, please dont feel you have to leave. If the offenders come back and keep on i can speak to the powers and have them banned. We dont want one of our most valued posters to be forced out.
Leo do not go. You have more friends here than all the silly people you argue with. We will miss you if you do not come back.
Not sure what this is all about. However, nice one for saying sorry Dan. We all have our different views and that is what makes this board interesting. It can get out of hand in the heat of the moment. Stay Leo, we ALL want and need you here....
i have heard from Leonardo, i'm afraid he is adamant...i don't think we'll be seeing him on the board again
