Well, I'm really sorry to hear that, Whitey. There is no excuse for such personal abuse or threats. Obviously I didn't know that, and I am truly shocked. You have my support if that is the case. Why would anyone send such pm's, especially to a fellow Reds supporter, and one who contributes so much to this forum? Surely we're all in this together, aren't we?
You'd have thought so. I'm open enough to talk about my 'life' on here so I took it in good spirits. But still, it takes a strange bloke to feel the need in my opinion.
Whitey, my advice is just to leave it....ignore it.....don't bite.....don't try to have the last word. Getting into a personal argument on a public forum ain't a good thing. It would be a never ending thread, because you and Barnsley Loyal are poles apart on this! Your contributions and views on this BBS are enjoyed, so we like to see you keep posting. Same goes for Barnsley Loyal.
Some of us are. But some come on here with the intention of harassing other posters. CricketJim had such intentions. There is a lot more to this than tonight's posts would suggest
I would say it all started as a joke and this is where its ended. Slander,liable,deformation etc etc.....just wish I was a solicitor,some money to be had outa this thread.
Whitey, I'm not having a go at you. But by your own admission you kept on "goading" (for want of a better word) CJ, when it would have been better all round to have let it drop. Obviously I didn't know that you were receiving pm's containing personal abuse.
Just heard the breaking news on Look North and had to look for myself. No mark gets banned from a message board for having nothing of interest to say.
Admin, please sort this ******* argument out please. If not, I will have to send a personal e-mail to Kofi Annan, and I don't wish to have to pull this favour in. Also note, I think "Whitey" as a username could easily be looked upon as racist......as and when Kofi Annan gets involved, ask him.
To be fair, I was playing with Barnsley Loyal. He can call me what he wants. But however distasteful, my comments last night were not homophoboc. I suggest anybody who thinks otherwise, reads the definition of the word. But yes, let's move on.
It's a little worrying when I consider myself the most grown up and mature poster! FFS it's like an adults playground sometimes!!!! Embarrassing to say the least
Yes, I'd suggest you start using the ignore button and stop responding to certain people, no matter how much they wind you up. I used to get annoyed with a certain negative poster from Wales, but I found that ignoring him was the best option. Problem is though, what was intended as a forum for Reds fans to discuss the club, whether they agreed with each other or not, has turned into a site where people can't disagree any more without it rapidly descending to personal insults of the type that would never happen if the protagonists were sat round a table in the pub. With that, the extreme views (it still makes me laugh though when people start throwing their toys out of the pram five minutes into a game that they're not even at, only for us to come back and win the game!) and the people who post things just to get a reaction and start a row, this place has long ceased to be somewhere enjoyable to come to for reasoned debate about Barnsley FC. Indeed, if anyone at the club or any non-Reds fans thought that this place was representative of Reds fans as a whole (certainly Keith Hill and Don Rowing did) we would deserve every cliche and insult thrown at us.
