I see you are one of the most prolific posters over there Hypo!

Given our longer history you'd think we would have an obsession with swords and armour. We however grew up. These toys are dangerous and have no place in a civilised society.

Never apologise, never explain. Never evolve as a human being.

Apparently I am a "tool." The reason I am a "tool" is because I have posted certain things on an internet forum that mark me out by the "tool police" as being a "tool." An example of one of these posts is where I said I thought that the Sainsbury's Xmas ad was in bad taste as I didn't think they should be using the Xmas truth in WW1 to sell groceries. A recent example is where I started a post saying that I felt that we were a million miles away from CL football having just watched the final. Now I didn't think this was unreasonable given that, for the last couple of years there has been a lot of talk on here about us and CL football. I am not really bothered about CL football myself. I don't see it as the Holy Grail but I can see why clubs aspire to it. Having not watched any CL football for some time I sat through the Barcelona v Juve game. As someone on that thread said, watching that level of performance was a reality check for me in terms of where we currently are in terms of competing at that level. I said as much here and The Usual Suspects were straight on it with their usual childish remarks (it really is like being back in the school playground on here sometimes with the school bullies trying to make themselves look bigger by belittling others). The more reasonable posters saw the thread for what it was and made reasonable comments and the school bullies did what they usually do. Nothing new there. It happens every day. For me though it is just getting so tiresome. I'm not just talking about me. I am just one of many who get jumped on. I even went on another site hoping that things would be different but they are turning up there too. There is no hiding place! Like most I come on here to get the latest news about my football team, to read what people think about that news and to add to the discussion. I don't come on here to spend hours dealing with people with personality disorders and who clearly come on here to make themselves feel better by having a pop at others. But that is what happens. You get dragged down to their level before you know it. Like others I have some posters on ignore but you still end up seeing their posts in quotes. Like UJ I am of the opinion that when you start to get a lot of people on ignore is there any point in being here? On a positive note it is good to see that there are others who don't appreciate the downside of this forum. Perhaps the groundswell will grow and things will change. I hope so. It is time us "tools" stood up to be counted!

You've got to admire the arrogance of Fry. Way too important to respond to PMs. Or is it the typical bully mentality? Can dish it out but can't take it?

I didn't say "good" Kraken, I said "you and your like are one of the reasons people stop posting or leave." (not meaning you personally by the way!)

That is a shame Verbal. It doesn't have to be nice but it also doesn't have to be nasty. We are all supposed to share a common interest but the way some of the posters on here treat others you would think they are members of ISIS. I would also take issue with you about Fry. Some might like his style but there are plenty who just think he is a jumped up t*sser with an over inflated opinion of himself.

You really are a strange individual. You and your like are one of the reasons people stop posting or leave.

There isn't a lot of football to talk about at the moment if you discount England.

Christ Batman, you really do need to get yourself a life. Does it really matter how big the part was? I did say that there was a discussion on an internet forum where his sexuality was questioned because he was a Guardian reader. I wouldn't say it was insignificant.

So, no more Jon Snow. Characters dropping like flies and every time you think you have got a handle on what could happen it all changes. It will be a long wait for series 6.

awesome

The same logic that meant that MLT got so few caps.

Not all to do with being a Guardian reader clearly but it didn't help his, erm, profile. There were rumours about him and Ken Monkou and on a forum I was on at the time the fact that he read The Guardian seem to add weight to the rumours. Bizarre I know.

You don't remember it then?

If the people who threw "Guardian reader" around as an insult knew what the demographic of the Guardian readership was their attempted insult would be pretty lame. I seem to remember Le Saux being called gay because he read the Guardian. Tells you all you need to know.

Go back and read the thread again. 1. I never said that Saints would never win the Champions League. 2. Plenty of people (reasonable people) got my point and debated it reasonably. It would appear that reasonable people took me seriously.

Not sure what this means? Does it mean I am not allowed to post on more then one site?

What? Once again mate, you are talking out of your backside.

As usual Hypo you have no idea what you are talking about but I expect your buddy will be along soon to back you up.
