There's a lot of truth in what you say. A whole lot.

However, thousands of Glory's posts were put up there before likes were introduced, so that buggers up the calculation.

I think in general, the newer you are on the board, the higher %age of likes you'll have. To accurately assess, you'd need to know when likes were introduced, plus each member's number of posts after likes were introduced in order to get a figure that's truly representative.
Guess that explains your ridiculously low number of likes <whistle>

I was just amazed to find LL had as high as 35% <laugh> <whistle>

Also in those days there was a dislike option, so when we visited other teams’ boards like Norwich, Hull, Leicester you could pick up as many as 25 dislikes in one day <laugh> <yikes>
 
Genuine question...

Do you ever for one second forget that you're scottish ?

I mean obviously when you open your mouth and release those dulcet tones it's a constant reminder but what about at other times ?
Always proud of the privilege. :)

Pity you can't try it to see what I mean. :D

Even surpasses having a huge dick. Don't get me wrong, it's great - but my knees can't take the constant impact injuries these days. <whistle>

Let me lay out my Glory thoughts, being one of the more regular combatants.

First of all, just to be clear, I've always liked Steve, still do, & expect to in the future.

Second, I used to like Glory, but the online deterioration of our relationship continued right up to the end. I now believe that his various serious illnesses played a part in this unsavoury deterioration, and I believe this should be a readily accepted, majorly important mitigation.

Should Glory be allowed back? I personally have no problem with this in principle, and was encouraged to hear that he intends to re-invent himself. Most welcome, but hope he doesn't become as boring as me! :)

I realise that there are a number of opponents to his return, but even murderers, *****philes, rapists etc. get out on licence, parole, or simple end of sentence. Surely Glory can be afforded that consideration? OK, put him on probation with the sword of Damocles over his head if you must, but don't block him for ever when there is important mitigation to take into consideration. Some of us have unfortunately been forced to face our own mortality, & I do not wish it on the majority on here who haven't. It's quite something & affects us all differently, has us reacting in many different ways, and none of it which you'd wish on your worst enemy.

Now who makes this decision? I've not been that close to banning situations, but I believe our own mods on here have the ability to recommend a course of action to the supermods, or indeed to challenge the supermods if they disagree with their decision. Which puzzles me. Why are the mods presently asking for the opinion of the supermods? Why are they not coming to their own decision, as they normally would, and getting their decision implemented, or endorsed by the supermods? I find this most puzzling.

And just to finish off. This situation, and others before it, could all have been solved if there was a rigid punishment escalator in place. I've gone on about this before & heard nothing, so I'll leave it at that for now, other than to say that it should be in place..

In hindsight, Glory should have been banned when Leeds60 was banned. Then they both could have been unbanned. I met Glory after his ban and at first he wasn't going to shake my hand, he did, but what pissed me off was that he was partially blaming me on his banning. He said because I called him a bully that the mods picked up on that. Bollocks he dug his own grave and he should have taken responsibility of his actions at the time. <ok>

A Scotsman never has and never will lose their hatred of the English it’s fed into them in their mothers milk
True dat as some would say

You should've punched his lights out.
