Reading many of the threads about NW, long ball tactics vs possession, etc, I'm struck by how the board has changed in the last few years from a relatively civilised discussion about different viewpoints to an approach where posters are personally attacked, rather than the viewpoint.
I've never come across a single instance where someone's opinion was changed by being called an idiot or stupid. I guess it's down to people just wanting to get a reaction rather than discuss things. I blame facebook and twitter...
It does happen sometimes, generally to those who are courting attention. I can honestly say that i've never had anyone on here get personal with me, i've had the odd put down, but that's nothing is it? i've done the same myself. You're no angel, i've seen you insult people on here.
In the last few years ?
Try 20 years
It's most often the same people who go down that route
I agree I had started to do the same. I did it as it seemed the only way they understood to communicate. I then realised I was doing what I hated others doing so I've just stopped posting, except for the odd post like this one.
I now just read the board occasionally and ignore the posters who can't debate without resorting to insults. Doesn't take long to get through the threads...
I'm a master debater.
You don't have to engage with the mugs though.loads of people play the man not the ball on here. Just ignore them.
Is it that bad on here?
I remember the days of escalating tit for tats resulting in offers of confrontation and endless spats and personal abuse being flung around.
I only drop in here occasionally but don't see anything on the scale that it once was, which is disappointing in some ways as some of the stuff was pure comedy.
My favourite being one poster calling me a lazy, scrounging layabout who would report me to the his friend in the DWP for me wasting my time drinking cans in Thomastown Park, Merthyr when I was signing on.
The daft bugger.
Was going to say the same, I think the discussion about Warnock has been pretty amicable.
The problem on ccmb is people seem to think disagreeing with someone and asking questions is the same as insulting them.
There's no one phoning anyone's work and saying their on ccmb all day, no one is organising fights in beddau.
You cant sat stuff like that Croesy. I'll see you in Beddau saturday
😂🤣😅😄😃🤣😂

The (non) Battle of Beddau was terrific reading and entertainment
I'm not really sure why people get that worked up?
To today's board as you said it seems all pretty amicable, I always wonder if individuals who get embroiled in these spats should chill out and reflect.
It's a message board not life & death.
