When a thread about the sad passing of a fellow supporter gets three responses but threads about Croesy get far more.
Most of which is utter tripe. As usual.

Glad to see a lot more have contributed to the condolence thread.
Is it too much to hope that we avoid some of the more ridiculous rucks for the next day or so???
Not holding my breath mind.

Unfortunately the title of the thread does not help really.
Thanks for the lecture btw.
Had just noted the same thing Mick.
As for the two posters holding some kind of judgement toward people over whether they have posted in a RIP thread yet or not? .. Crikey.
I'm sure both are committed to help rejuvenate this place though.

Not a lecture Michael. An observation.Why, because I don't like the ridiculous yah booing that some in here insist on inflicting upon the rest of us day after day???

A lecture would have been far longer.You've previously been quite critical of having that separate forum.

I'm not sure why the title doesn't help,says precisely what I meant.I still am. It seems pointless to me as you can almost always tell which are the political threads and ignore them if you want to,and as I pointed out a couple of weeks ago now the election has gone, they are few and far between anyway.

Surely it's just as easy to tell which are the threads on the main board that have descended into anarchy and ignore them.And you often get sensible discussion interspersed with junk.

Not always. Some threads start OK and then degenerate in the middle.It just doesn't make sense. If you can advise people to ignore the political threads then it's just as easy to avoid the bickering ones yourself.

You must have read enough of the threads to know the warning signs. If it is beginning to degenerate halfway down the first page and its four pages long then you stop reading. And that's the point you stop reading it.

And you often get sensible discussion interspersed with junk.Certain posters are like nitrogen and glycerine. Harmless enough on their own, but put them together an "boom" eg. Archie/Feedy (fortunately mostly confined to the politics forum these days); Croesy/Calon Lan/Colonel etc Again, steer well clear

Most of which is utter tripe. As usual.Yeah, I'm the same but I didn't want to say it. The RIP threads are sad, of course, but I feel I'd be cheapening the very genuine posts made by old acquaintances if I responded.

Bit self-righteous aren't you ? this is my take on it. The RIP threads are very sad, but it feels as if you're intruding on what is a very personal time.

I always read the 'passed-away" threads but if I don't know the guy (or gal) I don't write some empty gesture for the sake of it. If you don't know someone then invariably, whilst regretful, it is just part of life and isn't something that particularly effects you on a personal level and as such anything I'd write down would be false. Of course, in this thread Croesy saw it as an opportunity to provoke other posters but nothing surprises me about that sick puppy any more unfortunately.

Let me clarify something.
I wasn't saying posters must sign the condolence thread.
I was just fed up of some of the constant drivel on here when other probably more worthy posts get bypassed.
I wasn't being self righteous as one poster so impolitely put it as I've probably done the same myself in the past.
Just got fed up with the constant bickering
Let me clarify something.
I did not say that you stated that posters must sign anything.
The death of a 52 year old Bluebird is an incredibly sad occurrance and warrants the respect of fellow Bluebirds.

Let me clarify something.Not to worry.
Let me clarify something.I do think that with the popularity of social media, some will pass thier respects via that medium, it's not something we should be falling out over IMO.
