I do think recently that a bit of a bullying culture has developed on here. It's a bit ugly to be honest.
Nothing wrong with joking and having a debate, but there are some on here who attack everything certain posters on here say, regardless of whether they agree with it or not. And that's a bit crap.
I'm not part of any #BeKind movement but maybe think for second about the person on the recieving end of your 'witty retort'. Some people have a pretty low threshold after a lot of time locked indoors with the pandemic, especially ones with pre-existing mental health issues. Maybe think about how you word it, it doesn't take more than an extra minute.
We all support the same team after all. COYB!

Are you seriously missing the point that his own views can't be too unpopular if he has been agreed with 15,000 times?
It's not hard to grasp really. |
Seeing as he has just above 2000 upvotes, I guess that makes my opinions 650% better than his. 
And I'm rarely drunk when I post 'em! |  |

What rubbish I'm an old git but in my day bullying was some big bloke pushing you around or giving you a chinese burn at school. You can't bully people on a football forum. Grow a pair or sign out. |
oh dear empathy not your strong point!you forgot to say Man Up..... its 2021 people talk about stuff :) you know feelings and that |  | | |

I have 11,000 odd atm.
Which is the only reason I agree with you so much because at least half of them are from you.
I think maybe three from J2, the rest from either footers or my other accounts. |  |

It becomes unusable because a post turns into argument for no reason. That dobra post for example was done. Old. Then suddenly brought back up and tbem turned into 2 more pages of me trying to defend myself because you wanted to bring up the 1 night I had a mini rant about Drinan and apologised for from weeks ago.
I was asked to reduce my new threads. I did.
I also reduced amount of posting replies still high numbers yes but still reduced them. It wasnt me looking to start arguments.. all I want is to discuss itfc. But posters like yourself decided you sidnt. And then push the blame on to me and others instead of holding your hands up and saying actually I went to far or sorry i took the thread in the wrong direction.
Anyway I'll leave it there. But seeing the OPs post it made it right for me to make my point.
Heres to town. Lovely news about Burns. What a signing!!!! |
I'm just passing on the opinion of someone else.
Welcome back anyway. | |

My understanding is that a few people have found the frequency and relentlessness of your posting has made the board unusable. People have tried to be good about it and advised you to maybe rein it in a bit but you then tend to get the arse and say you're going to carry on using the forum however you see fit.
How is leaving the board working out for you out of interest? |  |

Would you care explain what contentious posts I made.
I brought it to your attention that i was being cyber bullied by a group of posters
The response was bascially it's my fault for wanting to discuss players rumoured on social media to be linked.
I did not start rumours of players. Just posted what a few that was being discussed
Having looked back I started only 2 new threads on player link rumours.. the rest were replies to other peoples OP's.
The latest cyber attack on me was because I said I wouldnt believe a posters source. Not the poster but their source.
I've been off the site since my last post.. and counted 7 threads where people have brought my name into it.
And on the day of my last post. There were 8 posts about me before I'd even logged on.
So yes there is a bullying group on here. But no 1 moderating is interested. |
I wasn't referring to you in that. And what you've posted is misrepresenting what I wrote. |  | | |

Except it doesn't register because he cannot see it.

I guess the one which which bugs me is when I see other posters dragged into threads which they haven't posted in. "X will be along in a minute saying this...", "Wait until Y sees you saying that...", "I wonder what Z will be planning next..." I understand sometimes it's an inside joke in jest which the other poster would be in on but other times it's meant in anything but a pleasant or jovial way. To those who have not seen historic posts, and in many cases this includes me, it does come across as a cheap shot rather than something with substance.
I guess a case of play the ball not the player. |  |

Maybe you should have clarified it with Phil via PM if you misunderstood what he meant, rather than jumping straight into calling him out for encouraging bullying in front of the whole forum? This is his job, reputation matters.
This is another example of the issue at hand, but I know you won't see it that way. | |

Spot on Bazza. I think there's a few on here who want to say their bit and then get patted on the head. They aren't interested in actually discussing anything - they just want to be told they're right. | |

That's how it came across Phil not a misrepresentation just how it came across. |
I was trying to be helpful about what led to the issue. I'm not sure I'd say it was bullying, just a number of posters becoming frustrated regarding the same issue. All comment related to a particular issue, whether it was deserved or otherwise. | | | |

Hang in there Chris Makin. You’re just young, dumb and full of bandwidth.
Sitters and rommers are great examples of kids who’ve arrived here and swedged away into board legends. Rommers was genuinely bullied on here by taximan and the bentley green village idiot, but he saw them off thankfully.
One day, you could be a rommers or a sitters. | |

I totally agree, well said. I feel the bullying of people through racism and homophobia is abhorrent, and it has been on the rise here. I will continue to stand up to these reprehensible characters and I'm glad I have your full support. We are one community regardless of race, religion, sexuality, and more. COYB |  |

That you are full of crap complaining about abuse on here when you were drunkenly dishing it out yourself on here most Saturday afternoons during the season. How many of your posts did Phil have to pull? Did you keep track? Do you even remember doing it?
So pipe down you silly sod. You're falling over your own feet in some kind of weird attempt to land a hit on me. Like I said, sort your own act out before going after others. |

Yep and even worse, #LetterGate!
I always said and still say people shouldn't take this place so bloody seriously, it’s just the internet. |
Forgot about that, that was ridiculous.
I think I've been involved in one moment of genuine drama and even then I wasn't even online when it all went down. |  |
