Can I suggest the following, as this is all getting a bit silly.
Mackems: if you don't like this guy, add him to your ignore list or, better still, just ignore him anyway. If he behaves like a twat, let us know, but we're not banning anyone just yet. If he wants to post on here he can; it is an open forum after all and banter with mags is always going to raise the the blood on both sides.
AMBAON: stop "defending" yourself and stick to football. You're just clogging up threads with a load of stuff no-one should be bothered about. You want other posters to be fair with you, then start by growing up and rising above some bait yourself. You have posted a lot of decent stuff lately, but all this self-justification is self-defeating as it is simply pissing people off.
As a final point, I would say that it is Sunderland fans who will be getting the benefit of any doubt. That is all.
