And it's goodnight from me

Re: And it's goodnight from me

I think that there should be an agreed maximum length of post. I went away and had a cup of tea and when I came back this one was still going !! 😄

😂😂 Appreciated. Apologies. A subject I very much enjoy. Time for me to make my own brew

Re: And it's goodnight from me

Out right lies like what….( even our own politicians in the echelons of power, lie ) care to point them out , and if you can point them out will be offered a counter argument- that’s how a message-board works.

As far as I’m aware you just don’t appear like posters who have different opinions on what you want to hear. If you don’t like what’s being posted then just ignore it.

Besides , as another poster pointed out it’s a football message-board, I think this would be the last place I’d come for facts and evidence based analysis if you’re that put out.

I have pointed them out with direct quotes from those who lied about what I supposedly said and asked repeatedly for them to back up their lies with what I said.
I am fully aware as to how a message board works and it's not about what I don't want to hear.
If, for example, I said that certain poster on make often make racist remarks I think it fully justify that they ask me to back up my assertion if they believe what I have said is a downright lie and an unjustified slur.
Don't confuse that stance with general disparaging remarks one may receive on here that are more subjective and which are part and parcel of being on a message board.
I don't intend banging on about this endlessly and if you disagree with my stance, that's fine. As I say, I don't have a problem with opinions opposing mine.
I'll leave it there.

Not true. I was born cynical.

Re: And it's goodnight from me

The board is getting more positive, Bulut and the team are improving, and that sort of change is not for everyone, I'm not saying Eric, but a lot of posters prefer posting when we are doing badly, they like to moan about the football.

You are defintiely saying Eric

Re. your long post earlier...it is interesting but you do make the assumption that everyone posts the truth, is emotionally consistent, never deviates, hasn't got a personality disorder, has no alter-ego personas, and is not on a plethora of anti-psychotics. Not everyone can be like me!

....also....pretty much all of the city traders I knew were best mates with Charlie and had every betting app known to humankind on their smartphones. I'm just not convinced that olfactory skills are the answer to making great decisions. Unless, maybe, you're a chef. Or herbalist.

Re: And it's goodnight from me

The issue with a lot of these places is people carry a grudge.

"reply to the post not the poster" is one you'll often hear but it never happens.

There was a poster who replied to something I said on a thread a few weeks ago, his last interaction with me would have been on the thread about the car crash in Cardiff where them teenagers died, yet on a completely unrelated thread he replied to a post i'd made, you could smell the hate from miles away... that's not a healthy way to behave.

Personal grudges build up, and naturally these come out to play during threads, the more prominent posters will naturally have more grudges, and you can see why the people that post less or log on less frequently get frustrated by it.

Also, you are a bit of cock to be fair.

Another one comfortable with his keyboard.

How many of my 248 posts to date have I been "a bit of a cock' ?

I will engage no further, as this has feck all to do with said thread, which was one of the points I made, another person with a grudge who can't forget the past, another point I made...

Disappointed to see you go Steve. One of my favourite posters .
There will be no one left by the end of this thread.

Maybe just me and Sludge?

Re: And it's goodnight from me

I don't normally get involved it " goodbye posts " , when I wanted a break, I ( thought I had ) sent a message to Mike and said im taking a break, as if I announced I would be going I would get loads of people having a party and celebrating

But in Eric's case I will, ive had a few interactions with him, recently ive found his posts definiatly 1/2 empty, but we have a good % of negative people on here, a few weeks back someone posted about " protests at the next game " which really tickled me, maybe its the recent few years, but city fans have certainly got alot of negative ( and I find the welsh a fairly downbeat lot anyway, for the record im welsh ) but I honestly think this place will be worse off without him, his stat's are interesting and will be missed

Maybe Eric spends more time on the Alt forum, I dont, its got a fair few loons who bang the same drum with the same repetitive beat, personally I find this main forum fairly controlled now, Mike or Myself occasionally deletes the odd post that gets out of hand, its been a while since a load of posts have had to be deleted, which has to be a good sign, maybe this place isnt a " utter cesspit " after all


I will sat=y though, This place has always had a " pack mentality " , I should know that, as lets be honest, I should have jacked in here a long time ago, but you learn to take what you want from the place, a bit of a laugh and some city news, you adapt on what you use this place for, personally for me, I dont post like I did, people found my posts boring, thats fine, so maybe Eric can do the same, maybe avoid the loons forum

Dembe has a point above, people hold grudges here far too long, its all rather a little sad, but most social media places are the same, safety from behind the screen I guess

Ive always had the opinion to treat this place like your friendly bar, where everyone knows your name

Re: And it's goodnight from me

Going on this board requires an eye for what’s actually relevant or interesting. I find it pretty easy to just filter out all the arguing or politics chat or just general weird stuff and find all the football chat.

Would be a real shame to lose your posts though Eric :( hope you can reconsider 👍

Re: And it's goodnight from me

I don't have a problem with people posting opinions different to me. As a matter of interest what I have posted that has turned out to be untrue? I hope you aren't one of the tiresome posters to whom I refer i.e. those who assign comments to me that I have never made,
Wales-Bale and truthpaste being two of them.

Don't blame me for your lack of perspicacity.
