In a nutshell, exactly why my posting frequency has dropped off a cliff.

This thread (and virtually every thread recently) reminds me of the clusterfuck GMK became before the mass exodus to here. Just an echo chamber for five or six people.

*awaits hilarious council reference*

The mass exodus to here was so that most could try and make themselves reborn "Anti-Sisu" protesters after being the most evangelical about them previously.

Isn't that right shmmee?

shmmeee · Jan 21, 2015

These are not constructive posts. They add nothing to the debate and instead trry and divert the thread to their own ends. It is the dictionary definition of trolling a thread and in any well run forum is a bannable offence.

Not trying to "direct fan focus from CCC" are you?

This is a reasonable response:

With respect OSB, we've lost any realistic chance of ever owning our own ground, or at least getting access to enough funding from it.

I don't think anyone has lost focus on what a crap set of owners we've got - but one day they'll be gone. In the meantime, we still won't have our own ground, or if we do it may well not be in Coventry.

I'm not surprised that that's getting a lot of interest, or that people want to comment on some of the remarkable stuff that's come out of the council recently regarding ACL. It doesn't mean that we're not worried about how crap the team is though.

In other words, I don't think that the Council selling to Wasps was an attempt by SISU to draw attention away from their manifold failings.

No. It was down to the server dying. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

Edit: go on I'll bite

I (and others) supported what was seen as the Ranson vision (buy young players, build a team, get to the Prem). You can argue (and you will) about whether Ranson's vision was one worth supporting, but what you can't argue is that there was a definite shift in strategy between Ranson and Delieu. It was this shift (make the club break even, reduce costs at all costs) that I (and many others) did not support.

Normal people change their mind when the facts change. You sound like a retarded political commentator trying to make out that they don't. You however, have stuck to your anti-council rants from the start, gleefully telling everyone that all sorts of dodgy dealings would come out (along with fernando and Grendel and others) in the JR, and have been proven wrong time and time and time again. Yet despite this evidence you still hang off every Les Reid tweet in the hope that you can find one scrap of proof that you were right, despite the weight of evidence already being well against you.

Anyway, back on topic: this shit is exactly what OP is talking about. It's not useful and it gets us nowhere. It's intellectually dishonest trolling and nothing more.

Second edit: also your timing is well off. I was supporting Sisu's stance WRT the Ricoh all the way up until the move to Northampton, including on this site. I remember arguing passionately with my Dad about whether the threat to leave was real or not (I didn't think they'd be that stupid). The move to Northampton showed where the club's loyalties lie and it's not with the fans.

I'd the forum well moderated. Read my first link. Offense is not the only thing that deserves banning in a well run onlnie community. Those posts are textbook trolling, and trolling is a bannable offence for a very good reason. People with a lot more exerience than you or I in running online communities accept these are important rules for a valid online discussion.

Not sure if actually illiterate or just pretending for effect...

(I'll clarify incase it's the first one) The mass exodus was due to the server going. Before that (unrelated) GMK had become a clusterfuck similar to the way this site is heading)

In reality, if people were banned for that there would be no forum. It's interesting that you've picked examples opposed to your own views, do you think your side of the debate are better behaved? I don't agree that those are examples of trolling at all, I'd say you would need to get into the offensive/bullying area to be called trolling. By your standards 95% of this site is trolling.

Wasn't the "clusterfuck" that GMK became was because it was perceived as Anti-Sisu mostly?

Not true though, the massive majority were pro-Sisu, but just a few against them would make paranoids think it was anti-Sisu entirely.

There is nobody Pro-Sisu on here(can discount RFC, as he's a nutcase), only a few who are a bit more balanced than the majority, yet paranoids think it's full of Pro-Sisu anti Council people.

I expect you can probably name around 10, maybe even push it up to 20 people in that more balanced camp.

How many members are there of this site?

To be fair, he started the whole thing with quotes from people where he disagreed with the tenor of the response.

Maybe we should all start posting in a Jane Austen style.

In fact that would be quite a good idea.

In which case you would have been banned a long time ago for your meltdown rants.

You know for a fact as soon as we start moderating you would be right up there whinging about freedom of speech and censorship. The moment anybody you agreed with got banned you would be going off on one, italia for example who loves a troll.

Oh all forums don't allow duplicate accounts to be made to come on and have a rant, you would be banned for that too....

Id get off the high horse, as if this was a strictly moderated forum like you wish for you would have been long gone. Unless you mean that only people you disagree with or don't like should be banned?

That stinks of somebody who walks around hitting people then cries and demands somebody gets told off if they get hit back.

You get "connected" to a club by going to see the team play not by wishing it was all different on a message board. My 10 year old needs a bit of coercion to come along at the moment but that is long term building his loyalty and habit. That is as important I think as any protesting or sitting at home NOPMing.

Besides, he will then feel the same amount of elation we loyal fans all will when finally the corner turns.

But also in turn it can have the reverse effect.

You can easily get disconected from a club by a lack of effort from the team, a not bothered attitude, incredibly poor fare served up, negative football, depressing air about the place, zero entertainment and the team forever losing.

You can attend games and very much feel connected, but in turn the reverse is always very true and that is what is happening for many, many fans at the moment.

I used to be so excited about going to games and it very much used to be the highlight of my week. Now I glance at the fixtures and just give a meh and a shoulder shrug.

Very hard for most fans to feel in anyway connected at the moment.

There would be nobody left on this forum if you banned people for that or similar comments.

Or some gobby bloke who doesn't actually know what they are yelling about and as you just said, don't care either. Anything to get angry and have a whinge about something though eh?

I can make my own mind up, obviously where you struggle a bit.

I go to watch my football team, I also care about my football team. You have just said you don't, so you obviously just like being a bit of an angry shouty frothy mouthed bore.

Monners · Jan 21, 2015

For what it is worth, I tend to agree with the points made by Otis/OSB (pretty much always been my view re the protagonists and debating issues).

Sorry for interrupting the usual decent into the twoing and froing for the cerebrally challenged. Please do carry on.
