I think I totally missed it - well unless it got abusive on an older thread. Was anyone banned? |  | |  |

Didn't see what happened as it went off into that blue-on-blue bit on the screen that's difficult to read, but blueas has bitten the dust. [Post edited 19 Mar 10:35]

Least you made half way through. Not sure I caught on to any of it. That or I’m too stupid or pig headed to notice. As it goes, Phil shouldn’t have to deal with that sort of nonsense (rudeness and abuse etc) and he’s perfectly right to put a stop to it. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

It was a tedious thread long before Phil pulled it. Still 14 days before next Town game. |  |

Wolves could be 12 (effectively 13) points ahead by then. This season is ending soooo slowly. |  |

I know it doesn’t matter one jot but have the FA forgotten about the Cunha charge? |  |

It crossed my mind yesterday but I didn't want to post a thread about it that would inevitably been jumped on by the negativity thriving on here at the moment. Also, as Sitters put it, it matters not anyway! |  | |  |

It does seem odd that the Millwall keeper got his ban extended almost immediately whereas there's been no word at all on Cunha. I'm assuming they'll have a hearing but no idea why it's taking so long (again). They'll probably have the hearing after we've played Wolves and Cunha has bagged a last minute winner. |  |

Had been into it but missed The End - serve me right for sleeping-in on a sunny day! after a challenging evening. Some ppl tried valiantly to keep it on the rails but to no avail. The OP had at least -60 downvotes so might be pleased. Agree with your 2nd paragraph obviously. |  |

9.25 on 12:05 - Mar 19 by leitrimblue | I also didn't see what happened, so can't really comment on it. Though I can completely understand Phil not wanting to deal with this kinda crap on a daily basis. At the same time at risk of being expelled from the WhatsApp group I have to say I enjoyed a lot of Blueas posts and only ever had pleasant ( often amusing) interactions with him. Hopefully it's just a suspension to put some manners on him and we see a Bluess 4.0 return in the near future |
Sometimes agreed, sometimes disagreed with him, but thought him a unique and valuable voice on here - he wasn’t afraid to speak out. Will miss him and also hope he returns. |  |

Valuable, really?! He was little more than a troll and Phil eventually ran out of patience despite plenty of warnings. These threads always make me smile, when those not on the end of the banned poster's antics seem blind to it and act like they were somehow wronged. Phil doesn't ban people lightly... he is very, very fair. [Post edited 19 Mar 14:09]

I was on more than one occasion "on the end of the banned poster's antics". That was nevertheless only one facet of him; he was often sound in his counterbalance & humour, so yes, I still thought him overall a valuable conributor. Only Phil knows what happened at the end of this* thread though, and of course he's entitled to take the action/s he felt most appropriate. *Edit - I meant the deleted thread, unless Phil has psychic powers - tho some things are more predictable than others I guess ...

Maybe Matheus has written a nice letter to Milos Kerkez and offered to buy him something nice to alleviate the need for any additional punishment. |  |

I think your first paragraph touches on a key point. We seem too keen now to oversimplify what we think of people and how we describe them. As you say, people are multifaceted and complicated, sometimes doing things we like and sometimes doing things we find annoying. Judging people's contributions by the lowest common denominator doesn't really do anyone justice. How boring would it be if people were just one thing... Either way, once a poster has been banned - I think it is best not to lay into them, but don't see anything wrong with people sharing their positive experiences. |  |
