I think you're a well meaning,intelligent bloke who found himself in a position to share some exciting,interesting,potentially life-changing information without realising it would then develop a life of its' own,rapidly becoming toxic and more and more uncontrollable,utimately degenerating into the shambles it has become.
Ultimately the future of the club is in the hands of others,over which we have no control,and what might be right one day can clearly change to something else the next.
The lesson I'm taking from of all this is that I'm going to use these forums for discussion and sharing of opinion only. It is perfectly possible for someone with inside information on any subject to present his argument as opinion, without revealing that this is as a result of being more well informed than most.
When this started however many weeks ago it was,I enjoyed the information being passed on....I was excited and eager with anticipation for what the future might hold for us,refreshing the screen for most of the day. However,as time went on and we got to where we are now,it became less and less enjoyable and more and more miserable. I won't engage with anything like this again.
The constant sniping ,the hateful sneering and insults,which you have had to endure, along with the deliberate posting of mis-information, all coming from an increasingly nasty number, has done no-one any credit, and there have been times when I have been ashamed to consider such people as fellow supporters.
To your credit,you've been resilient throughout,testament to your obvious strength of character. I would look forward to meeting you and sharing a pint sometime. As you say,we can't walk away from Sunderland.....it's in our DNA....but we can certainly walk away from some of the appalling behaviour being exhibited by some posters,on both boards.
