    Can't wait.

    But enough's enough for me now.

    There's some top blokes on here, and the craic's fantastic on here at times.

    You all know I've got a muslim wife, but some of the stuff on here's just too much for me to overlook or ignore. Some of the debates on the subject are great but it's just hard now to ignore the plain nastiness and vileness of some comments.

    Still going to pop in for Rackem's tips, but logging off now.

    All the best for the future lads.

    That's one less asset for this board as far as I'm concerned. I received a request to post for a U.S.A. sports site. I initially turned it down on the grounds that, whilst I have a decent in-depth knowledge of English football in historical terms, I'm not as well informed on the modern week-to-week game as I should be. But I think I'm one step closer to contacting them again now. Very sorry to see you go, mate. Best wishes from me to you and all of your family.

    I really hope you have a change of heart about leaving mate, you'll be a massive loss to this forum.
    You are one of the top posters on here by far!

    Really sad to see you go mate, I never get involved in the religious debates as this is a football forum. You will be missed here.

    Hope you reconsider, mate. Be a shame to lose you over non-footy related debates.

    I don't know yet, Commo. For all I know the US boys might have moved on since I turned them down. I like a laugh, sure enough - witness the torrent of age-ist crap I get from that cheeky young punk, Blunham! <laugh>.But I just feel when people are getting their feelings hurt over their personal beliefs - excluding effin Newcastle supporters, of course - then it's time we looked at ourselves. I'm gonna mull over it and make enquiries now. I am sorry Blunham is going.

    Shame mate. I think when people write about Muslims, it's Muslim extremists I think they think they're referring to. Shame for the board to, your one of the better posters.

    I have to say there's no one's posts I respect more.

    People make comments about Muslims etc without any understanding or knowledge mate ...... much like the Sun.

    I've never had any time for Arabs but am now working for one of the royal family, really canny bloke and I've changed my views completely.

    People's racist views are based on the flimsiest evidence and can change in seconds if they fancy a Muslim/Hindu/Ku Klux Klan lass.

    If you've gone for good them I'll miss you.

    Sorry that you feel this way Blunham but respect your loyalty. Unfortunately bigotry born out of ignorance, would be nice to see you back once you feel like it.

    What a real shame mate.

    I make fun of all walks of life, but never to offend. Whether it's the Irish, the French, the Asians or the Yanks...it's always light hearted, never malice.
    In fact, one of my greatest heroes of all time was Asian - Freddie Mercury.

    I hope my tips bring you luck mate.....take care !

    Are you coming back in three weeks BM?

    If I'm one of those who've upset you pal then I'm truly sorry, I try not to generalise where possible and try to keep my obtusely atheistic views to a minimum but often things flare up from time to time.

    The trouble for me is people want to label Jihadi's extreme and everybody else 'peaceful Muslims' and I can't swallow that.

    I'm not gonna start another debate here on your thread about leaving but nobody is ever that far away from these types of comments nowadays in any medium, it's not exclusive to this kind of forum.

    You're a top poster from what I gather, I hope you understand that words just don't come out as intended and not everybody has the same level of vocabulary to get their views across. Nobody set out to hurt your feelings mate.

    I hope to see you back soon.

    I doubt you'll recognise my name but I know yours and the board will be a worse place without you. Not that I don't get your issue, just hope it's a break not a divorce.
