Post a question with a dig embedded (Gammons) and then announce that anybody who disagrees with the OP is an idiot (further on in the thread)
That sets the tone for some serious debate perfectly.
I usually stay out of this stuff, but recently its got really tedious

Agree, these multiple posts about the exact same thing, whether it's football related or not, tend to make me switch off. |  | | |

Calling everyone who disagrees your view an idiot isn’t going to change anything.
Guess some are too thick to see that…… |  |

I like how your last line doesn't undermine your point at all... |  |

Really not in favour of this at all, in particular the Gammon insult. |  |

Gammon is used on here as an insult far less frequently than we see the woke label tossed around to be fair Gav. And to be honest, 'woke' is being used by some as a sly dig basically saying you shouldn't support weirdos like Black folk and The Gays.
Rarely see anyone getting upset about that though. |  |

It isn't a great way to start a debate though is it, and respecting the opinion of others. Agree on Woke also. I'm not a fan of either term. | |

Just wanted to add a little balance.
People are quick to complain about others on here without being willing to modify their own behaviour. Plus there's an awful lot of persistent low level trolling lately.
Also, the only person using 'gammon' right now seems to be Fishers, who clearly isn't in the LBF but does clearly love fishing for bites. Just sayin'. [Post edited 21 Jun 2021 13:57]

....getting a bit bored of the LBF now.
Footers has gone all "meh" on it and Herbs has done a runner since Phil told him off.
You've picked up a couple of new "would be" recruits, but their heart doesn't really seem to be in it.
Might be time for a rebrand. |  |

That was my point. Where's the incentive to change if 90% of people are doing the same thing? I'm not going to be taking any complaints abouf being called a Gammon seriously while simultaneously beinv called a woke Marxist or something absurd.
You won't find me running to admins everytime someone does calls me woke though. That's the difference. If you're going to dish it out, expect it back. And I do. | |

These new recruits haven't gone through the required vetting process since our Membership Officer Libby went AWOL. Basically it's less an organised entity these days and now a much looser group of varying individuals. Antifa basically.
The holiday party is still a good laugh though. | |

Perhaps we can *all* agree to not use such inflammatory terms? | |

Change Gammon for Gwion, and that's fishers posting history for the past 2 years. |  |

Well if I had to choose just one it would have to be a strong and mature cheddar, but little is made of bread in this debate as an important accompaniment. Can't really beat a crusty baton, or french stick, cheddar and branston pickle.

Completely agree. The poster I suspect you are thinking of has form in this, so not a surprise.
I've tended to take a read-only approach to this forum over the last couple of years or so due to the single-mindedness and the level of negativity by a *few* posters. It makes it hard to have any sort of interesting debate when all responses are negative name-calling. I may not agree with some posters points of view, but I always welcome the opportunity to learn and see it from another side. Sadly it's becoming a thing of the past on here. |  |
