Return of the Mach 09:23 - Jun 10 with 9515 views | Whos_blue | Doesn't look like it. Thread and poster got the heave ho it seems. Edit: For what it's worth, I thought the board managed the thread really well. [Post edited 10 Jun 2024 9:28]

Return of the Mach on 09:28 - Jun 10 with 5555 views | GlasgowBlue | Mach’s gone? What happened? I’ve met Mach at away games over the years on numerous times and you couldn’t meet a nicer bloke. Big friendly guy with a beaming smile. I think he comes across more brash on here via the written word as English isn’t his first language, so his manner is often open to interpretation. |  |

That's what I think too Glassers when I read their posts. The thread has gone, so it's not fair to admin to ressurect any of it again. Suffice to say that some unhelpful things were said then unwisely doubled down on. It all really came out of the blue and completely unnecessary. Hopefully it's just a cooling off period and not permanent but someone really should have a friendly word in their ear about their bedside manner. [Post edited 10 Jun 2024 9:35]

You could say that Nigel Farage can come across as a lovely bloke over a pint. |  |

Was his the post the one that included leftie bumfesters in the title? In which case, his written English wasn't open to that much interpretation lol. [Post edited 10 Jun 2024 10:02]

From what I read of that thread I think one or two posters may have been finishing off their weekend with a few drinks too many... |  |

It was nothing to do with his written English, his meaning was very clear indeed and he was being very insulting to a number of posters. SB |  | |  |

To be fair they didn't post the OP. As a dyed in the wool lefty bumfester myself, I always find the derogatory dig the phrase infers quite a badge of honour! |  |

I've always taken it as a joke since the phrase appeared. That was quite a funny evening. |  |

Fair enough. I didn’t see it. It’s Phil’s Board and he deemed it worth a ban. |  |

I think telling someone that Nigel is a better person than they are is very unkind- and I doubt is true. I wouldn't want to have been in the same real life space as him last night. He could have been Steve Wright's mr Angry! |  | |  |

The right decision. A definite cooling off peroid required. |  |

Mach was very much a Vinnie Jones - dive in with a two-footed lunge and never mind the consequences. |  |

Did it get worse? I pointed out that you'd asked Mach why he liked Farage rather than for his opinion of you, I imagine that didn't land well with him but I went to sleep so didn't see any response. I can imagine what it might have looked like. Language barrier or not and good guy in real life or not, Mach is frequently abusive in how he communicates on here and this isn't his first ban. |  |

He did say that you should essentially mind your own business and that you should go spend some time on a dating site. Not sure if you saw that one or not. SB [Post edited 10 Jun 2024 10:59]

I missed that one. Not sure why he was so angry, my responses to him were perfectly polite and I don't think he ever did justify why he thought Farage was a much better human being than you or Badger. |  |

And really, it was Mach ado about nothing. Shame he got himself banned over nothing really, he just decided to lash out for no obvious reason. |  |

Poor old Machers.... on 12:37 - Jun 10 with 4454 views | Bloots | ....I mean, yes he was a bit of a lunatic sometimes but he was harmless enough. He didn't articulate himself particularly well, but he didn't have any favourites, he pretty much hated everyone! It would be a shame of someone took him a bit too seriously and went off crying just to get him banned. |  |
