Wow, it’s another world out there. Mostly an entirely different set of commenters who apparently don’t come on to the forum. Genuinely fascinating that people have so much to say but don’t say it on the forum.

It is rather cliquey in the forum and rather intimidating for people. It doesn't bother me but l can see why they don't venture in. |  | | |

....on the M25 and the response is a dig at him about immigration how does that align with your statement that "you can’t say something’s without being attacked’ is false"?
"The traffic's bad today"
"Shut up you racist"
Where's the debate there? |
Although that's not what happened is it. He didn't mention traffic, he mentioned "getting heavy" with protestors. Nobody called him a racist either.
I made a comment, fairly tongue-in-cheek but with an element of truth because he's refused to engage in debate on multiple subjects.
Where was the debate when he originally posted all that stuff last week? He refused to engage with the evidence provided to him in any meaningful way and just doubled down on the original post as did others. Then the calls of "usual suspects" started ringing out just because some posters posted and requested evidence.
Now perhaps I shouldn't have poked him but there is a bigger case for owning what you post I think if you're not willing to engage in debate when contrary evidence is provided.
I don't remember you being so concerned when people were posting memes about me and Covid, in fact you couldn't wait to give them an uppie.

1. The M25 post was a dig at the protesters, not a complaint about the traffic.
2. Literally no-one called the OP a racist or even hinted at it.
Have you stopped to think that it may be you that puts people off from posting for fear of being deliberately mischaracterised? |  | | |

....until you turned up, such a predictable sock puppet.
The thread is literally titled "Third consecutive day stuck on the M25", I'd suggest it was about traffic as well as the cause of it.
There was absolutely no need for that other poster to infer that the OP would be happy with the delays because it would inhibit the movement of "immigrants".
Pathetic, childish and just trying to cause trouble.
But of course you won't see that.

....the traffic issues on the M25, the poster was immediately called out for being anti-immigration.
This place is ridiculous sometimes and you can certainly see why people either won't post on here at all or are posting less and less.
It's not worth the bother sometimes.
It will end up with the usual suspects just shouting into their own little echo chamber and noshing each other off whilst they do so. |
How can posting about the M25 blockages be linked to accusations of being anti-immigration?
Wait, this is TWTD. Any leap is possible. |  |

For ages I was put off the forum simply because of a few posters who were racist and throughly unpleasant. Think all have been banned now but a couple in particular were awful people - has to be said that one or two ‘respected’ posters who are still here regularly defended them.
But, as long as you don’t take this place too seriously or just switch off when someone acts like a bell end (and I include myself in this) then this forum shouldn’t cause anyone any upset. |
i remember when a gang of "say how it is " use to follow round romford blue and get nasty with p.ms to him. most use to have banter with him about his coat or pigeon posts. not theses nasty posters.
but hey ho lets blame the so called leftie gang for everything and like stokie said some need to look at themselves before they play the poor me card |  |

Thankfully most of that lot have been dealt with.

Indeed.

I wouldn't say it's odd, I'd say it's a symptom of myself actually challenging the absolute drivel that you and your cronies post. You don't like being challenged or confronted with evidence and hence an argument ensues.
Let's examine a couple of pieces of evidence given I know you hate evidence and facts so much:
- I've had 0 threads deleted and 0 red flashers from Phil since your return, certainly nothing for arguing or being unreasonable. You on the other hand have had countless threads and posts deleted and red flashers for acting like a total idiot.
- I don't post horrible threads or posts such as ones about taking advantage of attractive Ukrainian refugees or complaining that people are posting too much about the war crimes being undertaken by Russia in the Ukraine. Let's not forget the time that you compared Iranian men to Peter Sutcliffe on a thread about a woman's murder and women's rights.
So, given the evidence one could easily conclude that you're far more of an issue than me, wouldn't you agree?

Do you keep a spreadsheet of TWTD posters misdemeanours or something? I wouldn't be at all suprised.
Although I may ocassionally post something that Mr Ham doesnt deem suitable, I generally don't get involved in these tedious board arguments, and that is a fact. | |

Why would anyone keep a spreadsheet of such things?
Your awful posts are so frequent that it's fairly easy to recall 3 examples off the top of ones head, in fact there are so many that I've surely forgotten far more than I remember.
Most of the arguments you get involved in end up with the thread deleted so it's pretty easy to claim these things when your own behaviour results in the evidence being purged.
You should be taking a look at your own behaviour before you start pointing fingers at others.

So Bloots, given your concerns about bullying on the board yesterday, when does your down voting of every one of my posts regardless of subject or content and always without comment become bullying?
Surely an interesting discussion for one so concerned about bullying and mental health issues.

I can understand that.
I live in Brixton and usually make weekend plans with my wife, meaning I very rarely go to games. By the time I’ve gotten to a game and back it’s an eight/nine hour round trip so it’s not something you can do in an afternoon. Going to a game has been a once or twice a season as a treat for years, normally meeting up with my dad who’s still in North Essex.
I’ve been an Ipswich fan since I was around 10 years old, thanks to my dad. We’ve been going to our one game every season since then. One of my earliest Town memories is a pre season friendly at Roots Hall in the red Fisons kit, John Wark signed my programme. I was Bontcho Guenchev or Adrian Paz playing football in the back garden. God knows why I chose them when Mathie was banging them in. Our next door neighbour went out for the day and let us have his Sky Sports when we beat Barnsley 4-2 at Wembley. I remember screaming and rocking the car with dad when we rushed back one afternoon and heard on Sports Report that we had beaten Norwich 5-0. My voice must have been unbearably shrill, apologies to anyone in that car park.
I’ve got every home shirt for I don’t know how many seasons. I usually go to the London leg of the Supporter’s Club ‘On The Road’ fans meet and greet and one year drunkenly bought the autographed shirt in the charity auction, the year we got bombed out of the Championship. I suppose it’s notable.
My support for Town runs deep…
…but I’m really not well informed.
I follow TWTD and try to get the clips of goals etc on social media, but I haven’t found every piece of content and am not across every piece of news. It normally takes me by surprise when I discover someone is out of the team through injury.
I’ll stay across the scores, but often my phone will announce we’ve kicked off an evening game and I had no idea we were playing.
I don’t really know who is playing well and who isn’t.
Each summer I have to relearn the squad and starting 11, something I usually achieve by December.
My point is-
The forum can be hostile to anyone who doesn’t have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Town. There can be a hierarchy on this forum, some require you to directly or indirectly prove the depth of your current knowledge to show that you are ‘the best fan’ and therefore your point is more valid. For some; anyone who doesn’t live and breathe ITFC doesn’t know what they’re talking about on any given point, and is discredited. “You didn’t know Dominic Ball had a muscle strain in September? Don’t talk to me about whether we should have a back five then.”
It’s not as bad as it used to be. I think a few people who used to go around shooting you down have gone. Maybe I was genuinely just an idiot in the past. But it can be an unwelcoming place for the ‘distant’ fan.
I usually read the football threads to keep up to date and keep my posts to whimsical or non football conversations so I don’t show up the fact that I’m not that well informed. For fear of scorn.
For some people (perhaps a minority), the biggest insult they can hurl is that you don’t know what you’re talking about because you don’t go to every game. It’s true, I don’t, so I mostly shut up.
So I get when you say in your post that there’s a perception you can be hounded and it’s cliquey. The forum has certainly improved recently, but I wouldn’t say that has been eliminated. I don’t have a GCSE in ITFC, I’ll always be learning. [Post edited 8 Nov 2022 23:13]

It's a shame peeps feel like that. I hope it doesn't prevent too many people posting (whatever they want).
More troubling Beigers is this...
"I live in Brixton... By the time I’ve gotten to a game and back it’s an eight/nine hour round trip."
I lived up Brixton Hill behind the prison for many years, many moons ago, and I can advise you how to use roads and public transport if you're having problems :) | |
