Clicked on his profile and it said "Error" Think that's a bit harsh if it was for his comment after yesterday's game, but overall not to surprised. He was ok pre season and a few games in, but his comments got worse as this season has gone on. If it's another little break for him, then I hope he has finally learnt from it, if it's a ban, then I will be slightly, ever so slightly sorry to see him go. [Post edited 20 Jan 5:00]

For someone who hasn't been to a game in years I don't know why he's so steadfast in his opinion on how supporters should react to a heavy defeat. Not that it makes anyone any less of a supporter, I believe everyone is and there's many reasons why people can't or don't go to games, but most would be able to read the room.
I'm not going to get personal of someone who isn't here to defend themselves, but his posts were either a) designed to be provocative and troll people or b) completely reactionary and unbalanced, time and time again. It was only a few weeks ago McKenna had 'checked out', lo and behold we beat Wolves and he's on here waxing lyrical again until the next defeat. It wasn't infrequent either, or a 1 off, and had been getting even worse of late. I'm quite surprised he was allowed back after the Burns stuff to be honest.
People talk of mob rule but I don't really agree. We're all here largely with the anonymity of a username, there's no bias at play. Over a period of time if there's convergence among the majority of posters and people are routinely getting utterly wound up with 1 then it isn't a question of mob rule, its just really telling about how that 1 person is conducting themselves. |
The "mob rule" claims are made almost exclusively by posters of a certain political persuasion who don't like the fact that when they post such views on here, they are often refuted with evidence. |  | | |

NeedhamChris is about the most obvious troll I've ever seen on here.
Used to pop up in an awful lot of Norwich threads, generally a source of negativity and sniping towards players & manager when you look through his posting history. Loads of OTT criticism of McKenna. Continuously defended the divisive Frimley, also posts a lot during home games I've noticed looking at his posts, while claiming to have a season ticket.
Doesn't wash at all. |
We were having a fairly pleasant conversation on here about personal abuse and attacks - which is now being derailed again by personal attacks.
Things I am guilty of;
- Forum posting during the game in the SBRL - I should definitely stop this!
- Being massively overreactive (at times)
- Not being a fan at all of all of the Norwich chanting/posts - because I think they're irrelevant
- Being even more unimpressed with the 'she's a whore' type stuff - you'll find that's where a lot of my Norwich related posting comes in. Shoot me for thinking we should have an inclusive environment
- Fellow leftie travellers talking to people they disagree with like they're idiots (whilst wondering why they vote a certain way)
- As someone that was bullied as a kid (not a sore topic so all good) - jumping in two footed when I see what looks like a mob mentality ganging up on someone.
- Getting stuck in to arguments I probably shouldn't
- Having been an ITFC season ticket holder for a long time now (including the dark days)
There's no need for this post, and I hope Phil has a word as I don't see how this is in line with the rules of TWTD - or just being a decent human being. |  |

I don't disagree, personally there should be some type of fair usage policy implemented when people go overboard on posts - but that's not the fault of Frimley or any other poster.
We were all emotional yesterday, and Frimley (stupidly) put out a deliberately controversial post and people couldn't ignore it.
Put differently, if noone reacts to Frimleys post do you think he still gets banned? I don't - and most of the people who abused him in that thread knew exactly what they were doing. |
Why do you keep missing the point?
One person posts something inflammatory and a number of people react to it.
Your view is it is the fault of the many who reacted not the one who started it.
It’s beginning to look like trolling behaviour from you |  | | |

Maybe you could explain why it's not possible to react negatively to a post (which I have agreed was way OTT) without resorting to abuse? | |

If there’s no inflammatory post in the first place there’s no reaction I guess is the point?? [Post edited 20 Jan 16:46]

Appreciate you taking the time to reply old bean but it doesn't wash with me.
Curious as to what Phil needs to have a word about though tbh. I'm not fussed about you trying to be a grass, but I'm surprised when I've been respectful and haven't reverted to name calling etc, I just laid out my reasoning. Thought you were all for tolerance of different opinions? Maybe only when it suits, gotcha. [Post edited 20 Jan 16:49]

I did used to read some of his posts, and personally i wasn't wound up by them like some on here, But I guess I wasn't one of the posters who frequently wanted him cancelled.
I didn't see what he did last night, but really it's a strange decision to ban him, and not the bullying abusers which will no doubt stay impervious on TWTD.
I agree about Noggin btw |

Hello/hi/hey I’m back. Thank you for the nice messages. I was feeling extremely sensitive yesterday and wanted to throw my phone into the sea. I need to develop a thicker skin I think. Thanks for being kind x |

But mostly inoffensive and not deserving of the same people constantly piling on him. And it is always the same people.
If I’m fed up with the same tedious sh1te from a particular poster i simply put them on ignore. [Post edited 20 Jan 9:01]

This completely overlooks the fact that the sheer volume of verbal diarrhoea coming out of him makes the board that much less coherent when he is on ignore. | | | |

Why is it everyone else's job to control their emotions/posting, rather than his? And yes, his name became all but impossible to ignore across a raft of topics. |
As you're dealing with either a) a contrarian or b) the account is Frimley himself. The amount of mental gymnastics you have to go through to think that the crap Frimley was posting isn't his own fault, just lol. | | | |

What is it you like about his posts - the constant baiting, or repetitive nonsense.
After Burns-gate he should have had a lifetime ban IMO - imagine trolling one of your own players through the most successful period in two decades. |
I didn’t say I liked his posts.
You are exactly the type of aggressive poster I’m referring to! |  |

He didn't libel anyone, go after their family or send abusive PM's to Phil. Frimmers will sit in the sin bin for a month or two and be back.
That said, poor old fishers was banned for being a tedious troll and it seems his ban is sine die.
Also add that being tedious is a ban but calling somebody a catamite doesn't even warrant a mild ahem. [Post edited 20 Jan 19:19]

Agreed. Some on here seem to think I have a soft spot for him, which I don't actually. I just don't agree with how quickly the mob jumps on his posts (of which I agree there are too many), and the rude way that people bait him back. I mean this respectfully to Frimley as much as possible, but I think he's played by those more intelligent than him on here and that's a bit sad to see.
Not the only baiting post we've seen on here, but would appear the size of the punishment is determined more by the size of the reaction.
I stand by my comments from yesterday, there's a reason why this forum is almost entirely male dominated and it's because of the culture that is allowed to fester on here.
I don't see much punishment being dished out to people who outright abused people yesterday. Challenging that culture too much probably doesn't make as much business sense to TWTD Multimedia Holdings though, not compared to just banning a poster that annoys the masses.
This forum runs a great service and I don't massively blame Phil and Gav for taking this option, but it's a shame we aren't all capable of just ignoring posts from people we don't like. |

The guy is a little extreme, but doesn’t mean any harm and was hounded by the usual gang on here until he felt he had to leave.
Just think it’s a shame.
As you say, I’m sure he’ll be back, hope so anyway. | |

The problem with Frimmers is that he doesn’t occasionally say something daft, it’s that everything he says is daft. |
This is the issue, the sheer volume of inflammatory posts. On his own he diminished the enjoyment of the forum for a lot of posters. Phil has been very patient with him imo and generally he was tolerated more on here than he would have been other team forums | | | |

Sad post to read first thing.
Some of his stuff I didnt agree with, and his worst posts were always after a frustrating game so you can see some dysregulation at play there.
But I had a lot more time for him than I do for the bullies that relentlessly hounded him on here. Its a shame they've been rewarded, but then school was always pretty gutless at dealing with bullies too. |
Ffs he was in no way a victim | | | |

Same with Frimmers.
He’d been quite open about his shame regarding his weight and that he felt embarrassed trying to squeeze into seats in large crowds.
Admittedly, he was completely OTT yesterday and always felt compelled to post his every, and often contradictory thoughts, on all things Ipswich, but I’m certain he also has issues that weren’t helped by the excessive pile ones he constantly received.
Behind every username there is a real person, something we should all possibly reflect on before we pile into them or orchestrate campaigns for their removal from the site. |
Where is the evidence for a campaign being orchestrated. That's hyperbole. He really wasn't bullied. This blaming of people who reacted angrily yesterday really stinks imo. | | | |

He knew exactly what he was doing. Loads of people have gone out of their way in the past to try and help him. His reaction was to ignore all their suggestions, and instead double down on his contrarian, baiting posts that literally invited a reaction. | |

Absolutely right.
It's like in real life when people act up and then say "you know what I'm like, I'm just a hot head" and assume that it makes it ok and people will just deal with it - but they don't
Frimmers has plenty of options to continue spouting his drivel. He can start a substack, or a blog, or start a podcast, or smear it in sh*t on the toilet walls of his local social club for all I care but there's enough people who are totally fed up with him on here for it to need to be somewhere else.
I stopped posting for a while because of him, I know good posters like PJH left the board citing his omnipresence, I think Stokie was similar and I know another couple of posters who have said the same.
The board and forum are generally great, one of it's weaknesses is the ignore function doesn't work that well but I'm not sure how that is changed on a forum to work well. But he was unignorable in the main |

I think one of the challenges is that the silent/quiet majority of us who can either read it and disagree without abuse, or just ignore it - can't compete with the noise made/created by those that are seemingly incapable of doing so. |
