Look, th'end of the day, I say it how it is as well. Folk who offer retorts of 'clown' or 'yeh dense' will always stimulate my ire. Cashman has better vocabulary and at his age should have better manners than to resort to such comments. Sometimes its better to say nowt than to comment every other post for the sake of it

Thing is if some didn't comment regular the forum would probably DIE and close like the ultras forum did, or is that beyond yer logic?

there are lots of dense clowns around but they actually make more interesting read than jane sodding austen ever did. pride and predjudice, only where stanley are concerned.

If the forum was more welcoming and less condescending to newer members then perhaps it wouldnt be in such a grave state that your biilious posts are seen as its lifeblood.

The Ultras forum 'died' because it didnt need to used anymore. Its secret section (for active ultras rather than nosy pedestrians), carried on for longer than the public section

we were all new members at one time ot another and none of us think the same or agree with everything or everybody all the time. think in your case its a bit like if you start a new job and give an impression of running from the off and not taking things a little slower just to bed in. i,m open to abuse on any of my posts due to lack of capitals and poor spelling.

Perhaps if the newer members weren't so condescending, the older members would be more welcoming.

Spartacus, I for one would like to warmly welcome you. After you’ve been ‘observing’ from afar for years i’m so relieved you’ve joined, if only to tell the rest of us just how ‘grave’ this forum is.
Funny, until you came along, we didn’t realise.

[Spartacus2nd]

Thank you for your warm welcome.

It was Cashman who thought his posts were keeping it alive though.

I feel like I've just got done of my old headmaster

Just what you need .... a forum of yes men = waste of time.

Being polite to others doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with everything they say, just that there are ways of disagreeing or even just debating subjects without being rude
