I can't begin to imagine why so many lurkers say they don't bother posting because of the childish profanities and abuse.
Sadly name calling and responsibility dodging is the standard response when people post nonsense that is then questioned. I oft forget the golden rule of Thou Shalt Not Question, must do better.
This is still one of the most popular boards, even if it is only a case of the usual suspects posting. If people don't like it, they don't have to respond. Also if they're right then the original person trying to argue will ultimately lose! At the end of the day, if people can't handle a bit of online arguing then perhaps they should have Internet filters to show only fluffy little bunnies when they go online!
You regularly try and start an argument over absolutely nothing, this thread is an example of exactly that.
It's been said that most of the lurkers who don't post, don't post because of the "name calling". How do people know this?
Because they've been asked on several occasions. Not all responded, granted, but there have been a few threads over the years. Being the 'busiest' board isn't really much of a claim if it's the same chatty handful trading abuse. It also ignores the fact it could be busier, plus a lot of the abuse is just tedious and childish, more designed to hide a weakness of argument.
****ing love this song. Surprised it'll get an airing since it's got such a pro-'City' agenda. I emailed this to the club prior or just after the Cup final.
I would be really interested to hear how I started the argument when I made a comment about being surprised the Allam's are allowing this, if they know about it, and you responded in a ****ish withering way saying 'ffs'? Again the rules should be clearer, when you dismiss something with a 'ffs', are we all meant to just sit back and accept it? If you could provide guidelines that would be super.
You and DMD are the two most argumentative posters on the board. I can't ever recall a conciliatory post from either of you. Maybe both of you are the prime reason for people not posting?
The song repeats 'C-I-T-Y, C-I-T-Y, C-I-T-Y til I die' so I'm not sure how you can be confused about that.
I wouldn't worry about it, he makes baseless claims like that from time to time in the hope of getting likes and starting feeble squabbles that he can blame on others.
