I always thought pub threads were 'havens' i.e. only it's own board members 'met' there - with rivals respecting this. It's not like everybody can't read what you're saying - it's just an unofficial forum rule ..... usually.
I know a website specifically for Liverpool fans who prefer the hive mind policy over actual discussion and banter. I can PM you the address if you like. Be warned though, its a terrible terrible website for absolute mongs and is a target for nonstop laughter. Just let me know if you want the address.
