Which is fair enough and his choice.
But now pretending your waving emoji and nevermind comment is anything other then backward and antagonistic doesn't do you any favours.
I mean, you could just admit you got it wrong in your original post apologise and move on. |

Many of us have been on here for a quarter of a century (gulp) - it’d be surprising if we hadn’t changed a bit in that time! |
I haven't, I still like Battenberg :-) |  |

i haven't regularly interacted with him - though his sciencey posts are often interesting. i also haven't seen the threads that became fractious. but i do think he can get quite shirty quite quickly when people don't agree with him. he does expect to be right. so he is perhaps wound up when others wouldn't be. banning has to have some objective standard of bad behaviour - people shouldn't be banned because some posters get wound up when others wouldn't. |
Always thought their posts during Covid were important and they took the time and effort to evidence responses.
Agree that they got shirty too often. They needed to be correct all the time and were less than forgiving or diplomatic, bordering on sanctimonious. I can see why that would wind some up into baiting. That said, they were one of the posters it was worth reading. |  | | |

I actually removed this post initially but was asked for it to be restored given the responses. Re your other point, I very much doubt those posters make any difference to the overall revenue, certainly aren't big drivers to the site by any means and actually cost in terms of me having to deal with hassle. And if that was a consideration, then I wouldn't spend so much time trying to stop people posting that sort of thing.
Things have reached a bit of a head on this front. The users involved know who they are and if things don't change then they won't be welcome to post. But, of course, no doubt if I that happens I'll get stick from other users regarding their exit. |
Phil - just out of a technical interest, if a user is banned, is that based on an IP address and or a device ID?
What's stopping anyone using a VPN to log on and use a different user name?
Maybe that's one more for Gav - just interested..... |  |

Indeed - incredibly valuable at the time and afterwards, got a lot of seriously useful info from his posts on that, and will always be grateful to him for it. | |

See this is exactly what Phil has been talking about. Sitters made his post. Others have critiqued it but you want to carry on arguing.
Lock the thread Phil. |  |

You've been here just over a month and I don't recall a thread where you haven't tried to tell Admin how to do their job.
I'll leave it there. I don't think it was wise of sitters to start the thread but it's now descended into more arguments. I think Phil should lock the thread and people move on.
We signed two players and lost a goalie yesterday. That should be more than enough to keep us all occupied for a few days. | |

Agreed, lots of Town news to discuss and given what a massive Town fan Sitters is, you have to wonder why he started this thread and chose the tone that he did? I know you've described it as not wise, but it's more than that isn't it? The thread has been deliberately created to further division and provoke arguments, but some are more bothered by people calling out his bullsh!t than they are by his bullsh!t.
It's been an ugly pattern on here for a while of some posters deliberately prodding and poking constantly or saying quite unpleasant things under the guise of 'bantz' and then going full Ballotelli when they get called out on it.
Also agree that the thread should probably be locked at this point. People have made their point, no need to keep going round in circles. |  |

To be honest, I thought he was a little aggressive and confrontational as a poster. Undoubtedly, a highly strung guy. While a good debate is healthy, the way in which he did it came across as rather condescending at times. [Post edited 2 Jul 2024 13:11]

Celebrating?
Demise?
Give over.
He’s chosen to have a break, again, sure he’ll be back. |
Ok, gloating and provocative
Id suggest that the vast majority of posters on here would see your original post as one (or both) of the above and I don’t believe that wasn’t intentional on your part.
Run a poll and see, if say 80% plus would see it that way and maybe those results will help you reflect and learn | | | |

That's a shame. Quite apart from his posts being interesting, I liked the way he signed every post SB. |
Hmm. all that did was remind me I should have trademarked it 
But I suppose there's nothing stopping me now...

He put his views across robustly and he felt evidence based debate was important, so if people responded to him with unfounded assertions then he'd usually ask them to provide some evidence and wouldn't have much truck with people who didn't. I can see how that might have rubbed some people up the wrong way but he also had to put up with a lot of prodding and goading from certain posters too, posters who were usually unwilling to actually have a debate of any substance, and that wore his patience and may have meant he came across as snappy at times. | |

It was absolutely intentional on his part. Like most people on here, I like sitters, but he's been involved in too much of this nonsense lately. | |
