Hi guys, Recently I have been getting rather pissed off with a few (not many) posters on here. Some have been rude and a bit aggressive towards me for small things. I make a joke - one that's been long standing on this board and two posters in particular (they know who they are) have gone over the top with it. The incorrect use of less and fewer does bug me, but honestly I don't give two ****s about it! It's a bloody joke! Is it any different to JRFan's 'Spelling Police' thread? When I have issue with what someone has posted I may object to it and reply but I usually ignore it. These posts are different to discussing football topics. If someone is voicing an opposing view to it, that's fine everyone is entitled to their opinion. You then agree with it or give a reasonable counter argument. You don't have a go at them! I am going to have a little break from this forum while I consider leaving this for good. Also, as some of you may be aware, I have been fairly ill over the last 8 months and it has got worse recently, so I need time to recover from that as well. I enjoy discussing and debating on these forums and don't want it ruined. It just appears that people are too proud and have their head stuck up their arse! Wonky
hey wonky. respect your decision though i don't agree with it. apologies if it was me who pissed you off - certainly was never my intention. i just like to argue (you may have noticed!). you're a good poster. best of luck - hope you're better asap
No disrespect wonky, but a break would probably be good for your health, and that has to come first after all, and if at the same time you´re having certain issues with people on here, that can´t be helping. Hope you get your health back soon and then feel like rejoining us.
Wonky, whatever you decide I wish you the very best and good luck with your health issues! With regards to some posters having a go, let me remind you, munky recently had a new addition to his family, sleep deprivation can cause bouts of grumpy intolerance, and if you read everything that carrabuh says, he takes criticism on the chin (apart from slap-head smilies) and often posts in a provocative manner to create a reaction! Don't take things to heart, you're a valued member of the team with some first rate postings! Take care, and don't be away too long!
Well said, Dave. I enjoy your posts Wonky, but if I have offended you in any way it wasn't intended, mate. Hope you get better soon!
Similar to the above, really. I deliberately used 'fewer' when 'less' was applicable yesterday - but purely in jest. If that's got you miffed, then apologies. At least there are enough of us on this forum to have debate, banter, call it what you will. That for me is a major highlight - so many different opinions and sometimes, conflicting views Hope you recover from this illness and hopefully you'll be back to contribute on here once again
Sorry to hear you're unwell wonky, I hope I haven't offended either ? I can be quite cutting sometimes, especially after a few sherbets ! Get well soon mate
It never ceases to amaze me how people can let internet chat get to them. Why take things so to heart. Its just faceless people behind a keyboard. Real life is all that really counts mate!!
This ^ In this digital age when it's all about email, text, message boards, twitter etc. so many things can be taken out of context, especially if incorrect punctuation is used which it invariably is. Blimey, I've fallen out with the missus on more than one occasion through bloody text messages !
Does this mean you will be doing fewer posts or less posts. Look forward to your return Wonky later in the year
Wonky, As one of the two main offenders you draw attention to in your OP (yes, I do know who I am ) I just wanted to say sorry if I've offended or upset you with my comments. My intention is never to offend or upset anyone in any medium as I like to think of myself a general nice guy, but clearly on this occasion I have so please accept my apologies. I should perhaps think before I post sometimes and learn to appreciate that some people are a lot more sensitive than others to certain things, and whilst I do find the constant less/fewer posts incredibly tedious, they really don't affect my life at all so there wasn't really any need for me to react like I did yesterday. Sorry mate, I hate the idea of being thought of as a bully and I appreciate that some of my comments could be construed that way so please accept my apologies and rest assured I have absolutely nothing at all personal against you or anyone on here. It's an absolutely brilliant, welcoming and often hilarious football forum with some top quality banter and discussion for the vast majority of the time so apologies once more if I perhaps took this issue a bit too seriously. If you knew me you'd soon realise that there aren't many people around who takes life less seriously than I, not a lot usually riles me, but I am also aware that often conversations on an online forum can be taken out of context and can escalate far more than they would down the pub for example. Hope you're ok mate, once again I really never intended to upset you so I hope you can accept my apologies and draw a line under anything that was said yesterday. Hope you're feeling ok as well mate and that your condition takes a turn for the better sometime soon. You're an interesting character on this forum and for what it's worth, whilst I don't always agree with what you post, I think it would be worse without you so if you are to take a sujourn I hope it's not for too long. Take it easy mate, keep up the good fight and I hope you're feeling ok
Hi Wonky, May I wish you all the best from a member of the Ipswich Town contingent that regularly trawls er I mean respectfully uses this board. I hope you will soon feel a lot better and enjoy Cambridge as it is a cracking place to be for a Student.
Come on, Wonky, lighten up, please. It's an internet forum - don't let it get to you. In the end we all want to see NCFC do well and it's as simple as that.
