Not sure what the family news is but I hope he's OK. I had a pretty traumatic week too. My mate that was killed was in his late 30's and lost his wife to cancer some years ago. 3 kids have to now grow up without either parent. Musty. Let's be clear. Once and for all. I know you have some trouble with the concept of not breakng the forum rules and you're sadly not alone but I'll give it a go and explain. Insults / name-calling is a breach of the rules. Your post at number 10 above qualifies as a breach of the forum rules. It's gratuitous name-calling that was out of the blue. Nobody had been rude to you whatsoever. As for the funeral that I went to if you'd read my earlier post you would have known full well I was going to a mate's funeral. So yes you should have known. Whether that would have stopped you from calling me a 'toss' I couldn't care less. At the moment I am sick to ****ing death of coming on here and getting insulted by the likes of the OP and you - for absolutely nothing. I shouldn't have to put up with it and I won't. The OP did it and got a ban after being warned so why you don't realise the risk you're running I really don't understand. It's one of two things. You either simply don't understand the rules of you choose to ignore them. Take your pick. You and your kind who post gratuitous insults without a second thought are making the mods' job a nightmare at the moment and there is absolutely no need for it. The forum has become a pretty unpleasant place right now not just for me but for others too I'm sure. So think before you post. It's not hard.
sorry precious, just reread the thread. I am shaking my head in bewilderment after the things you have called myself and fellow posters in the past and you start to cry because I said you CAN be a toss SOMETIMES. ffs harden up, once again my condolences over the loss of your mate
You're at it again. Stop 'shaking your head in bewilderment' and just read the rules. Are you going to tell Ivor to 'man up' after he was going to leave after receiving one single word of abuse? Nobody should put up with it and the rules agree with that stance. I don't name-call and never have. It's a common misconception that I do because I'm able to string a couple of sentences together and will fight my corner robustly if necessary. But even if I did that doesn't excuse gratuitous abuse without provocation. But you just don't get it. Keep going and you'll be banned. It's not hard to be civil for ****'s sake! I suggest you leave it there now as we have a big game tomorrow and I'm sure that all our posters can do without this nonsense yet again.
KJ, I was going to leave because I don't give abuse, so I don't expect to receive it. Further, I objected to the context of the abuse. As it happens, like all of us, I CAN be a dick from time to time but I wasn't being one on this occasion. I had taken the time and trouble to write a thread the contents of which were my honest opinion. An opinion that was later endorsed by every pundit I had read on the subject - and by the captain of our team. Should someone disagree, as one or two did, the least I should expect is a reasoned reply stating why. A three letter reply that contained nothing but an insult, showed a lack of respect, something I will not tolerate from anyone. If the offending poster had anything about him, he should have explained his thinking in the way the rest of us do. But he couldn't be bothered and hasn't even had the guts to offer an apology. That is the type of poster I have no time for and have no wish to share a forum with, which is why I wanted to leave. By the way, I did receive messages of support including some from, believe it or not, the Cardiff City board. Surprising and gratifying.
The way I look at it is that we can all be a 'Richard Head' from time to time but lets just go with the flow and not leap at the first possible opportunity to have a go at someone. Its only a game after all
You are correct, Ivor. Both Norway and I disagreed with you (actually not the point that you were making but more the tone of the post) but none of us insulted each other. The debate was lively of course and all three of us set out why we came to our conclusions. Pretty civilised really. For me, a poster who is name-calling reveals a basic inability to sensibly articulate his views so he resorts to "You're a moron" and the like. Unwarranted insults make my blood boil. Aren't we supposed to be supporting the same team?
One could also argue the point that uncontrolled arrogance is also as bad as name calling and that should also be removed from articulated debate. More often than not no one is 100% correct - but some people always think they are. That's what normally leads to the name calling.
No one ever answered the question how this pond life is allowed to post on here. If anyone should be banned it's this twat
Well done musty. PGF. I'm not sure what 'uncontrolled arrogance' means but many posters put their opinions up here because they believe they're right. Otherwise what's the point? I can usually see why people put up an alternative view even if I disagree with it, and I also see some views that I just don't get at all. However, to say that because a poster may be opinionated almost inevitably leads to being called names? I'm not sure. But it shouldn't be condoned and I'm sure that wasn't your intention.
well done for what KJ? for not prolonging the fact that you believe anyone who disagrees with you is a twat? that swamp is a scum? swamp and I actually belong to a group called KIVA who donate money to those less fortunate than ourselves. have a nice day.
This will be my last post on this forum, so I'm going out with a bang! Musty - You are a cretin. Your nothing other than a keyboard warrior who spits his ****ing dummy out if he doesn't get his own way. From the day I was instated as a mod, you had it in for me. For what reason? Because you were so damn intent on being a moderator yourself. When the time came, It was me that go you mod status. It was my good word, my insistence. But when you over stepped the mark, it was the super mod that took your mod powers. Not me. Who was the unlucky one to take the brunt of your **** when that happened? ME! I've led a pretty **** life, and never have I got over it. I come online to get away from the **** I always seem to walk into. But guess what, I can't even do that because I get **** from ****s like you from the other side of the world. I have no time for bullies, and you fall slap bang into the middle of that criteria! I get on well with everyone on this forum, exept you. I've decided that it will be me that walks away because I'm fed up of fighting with people. I'll miss some great people, but while this twat is about shouting at everything I do, I will not be posting here! Thoughts with KJ and his friends family who have lost a loved one. Best wishes to all! *I hereby stand down as a moderator and poster*
