I think I’ll have to avoid anything political from now on … … I get people being fanatical about the football but some are really vitriolic about politics. Some of it is really hateful which surprises me tbh.
Good post mate. I've dobbed in and out of the political debate on here from time to time,but,like you,I've found that,in the fervour to express their idealogical views some people have become abusive and hateful. This is a forum primarily to enable fans of our wonderful club to debate issues around the club activities,both on and off the field,and,also to provide a platform for general discussion on other issues from the world we live in. I welcome all of this,as it often allows me to gain information and insight into the club and its' football,but also other aspects of life of which I may not have been particularly aware. However, I'm not in favour of it being used as a propoganda machine to try to gain support for political views,which I understand can be genuinely held, but which degenerate much of the time into abusive contempt and downright hatred towards fan from fellow fan. Surely,opportunities for discussion of that nature must exist elsewhere.
