I feel like this has gone too far. I feel like some people have resorted into total bullying tactics when the narrative suits.

For the record mate I feel your points are always balanced albeit a little provocative.

Fair enough.

The forums are supposed to be a place for unbiased unbalanced opinion and people should be able to say what they want as long as it’s not abusive. And without prejudice.

Theres times when there has become a bullying culture on here which I actually don’t like anymore.

This bedwetters bullshit has gone to far. People should be allowed their opinions without being bullied or abused. Especially when those are being abused have actually made some valid and very solid opinions.

My post here is going to be absolutely slated and as Frank as that sounds underpins my point.

People just don’t like to be wrong. Or even open minded. This forum has got so bad lately I think I’m tempted to leave it.

Which is a shame because I like the banter but it’s going to far now.

We all enjoy the banter mate. And different opinions are what a forum is for. I actually agree with a lot of the points you, Roly and CC have raised. I'm just not as inclined to jump at pointing fingers at the manager / owners and saying everything is ****. I'd rather give them time to fix it. But as i said, different views is OK.

I think with Chaos he just went too far recently with all the goading and gloatng about NUFC failures. Enjoying it all too much and inciting too many arguments. That's not the same as having different perspectives, it's someone purposely antagonising.

But remember CC did request the ban himself - and not for the first time.

Personally I think 1 day in the cooler would be fine. Otherwise we'd all miss the good banter.

I agree alot with what he was saying too but he'd veered off into wumming and spamming then tried to act the victim when called on it.

I dont think the ban needs to be permanent either for what its worth but it was his attitude not his opinions that were ruining any discussion on here.

Fair point. But the guy is only human and has had to deal with a significant amount of abuse which is not cool.

I will say and he knows this is my opinion I don’t always agree with what he says and he does provoke people. But he never resorts to bullying. And he never abused people.

Which again might put me in the firing line and even he might say I shouldn’t defend him because he can himself. But I just don’t feel it’s right.

Its just gone to far for me.

I just don’t like the way the forum has gone lately.

Especially when we have had a bad run. I’ve felt it myself. Why should I feel bad about posting my opinions which are perfectly valid. It’s all balanced and it’s big bed wetting.

Roly has made comments which have become ultimately true and he’s been slated for it. Because he was saying it early.

I think people should be careful about abuse on here because we have a good bunch of posters who contribute different opinions and we should not be worried about being bullied as a result.

Let the forums be free and open to opinion.

despite his request it’s only a temp ban. And just from this board. I like munse. He’s a top fella.

There should be no ban at all. He was basically shouting out and a ban would be ludicrous. It would I actually feed into what he was trying to say.

That abuse is here and in this forum.

FFS let people say their mind and if you don’t like it either block them or say your own pointing but don’t abuse them.

He hardly got abused mate come on <laugh>
 
Don’t ban him. That’s just bonkers. And if it held then that’s akin to the PL.

he requested it at least 5 times in total and in private. He wanted permanent and that’s plain wrong.

there was a vote. The genuine voters overwhelmingly wanted to let him have his wish.

the end.

he will return.

He does mate. He really does. I know people think he brings it on himself but it’s become a bullying culture and I don’t like that ****.

He’s a fantastic poster on these forums and raises questions a lot of us don’t want to ask. Proper genuinely ask whether he is a fan of the club. Of course he ****ing is he wouldn’t waster the time he does here if he was not:

This has gone too far for me. I accept and again he will probably agree with me here that he provokes people. But so what.
 
I'm missing the bullying and abuse part.

There's differing opinions but it then comes down to who repeats themselves the most.

The ones that call each other, do so in banter more than anything else.

I like Chaos, he knows I do.......but if your going to go down the route of saying people are bullying by name calling, he's pretty damn good at that himself. Virgins, Mouses brains etc etc. It's school yard banter.

Maybe it’s for his own good. Maybe he wanted it because he was feeling so abused.

Maybe he needs the break because it’s to much. I don’t know. But we should still appreciate the kid for being a top poster even if some of the **** he posts we don’t agree with.

He’s a good lad man.

Agree with almost all of that mate - except the bit about CC not being abusive. I can find dozens of posts where he was. Majority of the time I think he's really good fun. But he does also antagonise and then plays the victim when he gets it back. It's not bullying if you pick the fight.

The rest I agree with, we need different perspectives for a forum to work. <cheers>

I just feel from an outside perspective it’s got a bit much.

Hey it’s just my opinion I’m happy to be slated for it. A bedwetter and all. But ultimately it’s all gone to far.

We are having hard time as a club. Some deal with it better than others. We are all going through **** it our lives so we are allowed on a forum to vent and say what we like as long as it not abusive to others etc.

Mate we have spent a lot of games together aswell you know I’m cool.

Im just passionate about NUFC

Blokes on the prem board calling us all deluded Geordie ****s but im not gonna sit here and cry about it.

He wasn't abused he was just rightly called out on his spamming and wumming then played the victim. As I've said loads of times I domt have an issue with him personally and I lean more towards his views a lot of the time but I dont spam that view on every thread and try to antagonise people on here.

You know where I am if you need to talk mate. I'm a phone call away <cheers>
 
What was the bullying thing? I've barely been on over Christmas (which was actually quite refreshing) so have probably missed it.

He'll be back, with a different account I'm sure. Probably go under cover on the Mackem board.

He gets a response, that's what. Then he cries victim. Then he requests a self ban.

Can't have it both ways. And that's not bullying, that's drawing attention.

As Magdad said, it's not differences of opinion that led to this, it's CC's behaviour.

He'll be back soon.

I’m not saying he’s perfect. And to be honest I’m fighting for myself a bit here aswell because I’ve been called names. Which is uncalled for. People can say it’s banter but it’s like this…..

I say we should do better…..

You’re a bed wetter.

No I’m not: I am just saying that Eddie should be doing better.

No your a bed wetter.

But we have lost 7/8 games.

Your a bed wetter.

But I can’t post my opinion if I feel like it.

Yes because you’re a bed wetter.

What kind of forum is this if I can’t say what I want without being called a bed wetter.

Because we don’t like what you’re saying and therefore we will call you a bed wetter.

“bug we secretly agree with what your saying”
