Re: FAO Michael Morris

I've always thought of it less as a Cardiff City board and more of a board for Cardiff City fans myself

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Good post. I pretty much agree with most of it. One thing you did mention was a more definitive line on politics from various posters which can sweep aside the more centrist view. Do you think that has happened due to politics becoming that way over the past 10 or so years etc Therefore, the discussion that we see on here is representative of the Political situation that we now find ourselves in?

Yes I think you are probably right. Politics has become more polarised (or certainly seems to have done)in the past few years .People seem less tolerant of other views and seem to se things through a right/left prism. If you don't agree with someones views you are automatically assume by some to be their polar oppposite in anything and ne'er the twain shall meet.

There seems to be little spirit of compromise these days

Re: FAO Michael Morris

My view from years ago was that the board should reflect everything. It became the biggest boards around because of it's diversity.

But then people started to abuse it.

From self promotion, business promotion, extreme politics, obsession, psychological tendencies and the need to have the last word or a demanding position.

Some people are never wrong, they feel they have the right to force opinion and create thread after thread for their own ego and demand it be on the main board. Some with forceful political views feel they can post thread after thread of political content and it's OK for that to cover the top 10 or 20 threads on what is, at the base level, a football message board. Some force music threads and think it's OK for multiple similar threads when it's actually spoiling the board.

So that's why alternative boards were created. When to be honest a tougher moderator would just delete the demanding behaviour.

I'm too soft on you

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Treat it like the telly remote perhaps, flick past the channels/threads that aren’t for you.

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Nobody will post on that.
I don't know anyone who loves Tan do you?

Re: FAO Michael Morris

Need ' I've been jabbed ' section

Re: FAO Michael Morris

As an outsider I preferred this board when there was just one section. If you don’t like the politics or bands threads you can just ignore them. These non football threads keep messageboards like this and other clubs boards alive and interesting.

May I take this opportunity to thank you once again for creating one of the strongest addictions I have ever had, Boss. Have a good one

I'll second that!

I think that's a bit unfair to accuse them all of that. It's almost certainly untrue, most are just ordinary folk like you and I. I should know because me and my mate are season ticket holders and we definitely are not in love with the guy.

Too true it is an addiction; I'm discovering this more and more now. By the way, trifling disagreements apart, I think everyone on here is great and so very interesting.

You are too soft and I’ve not met you but I’m a big fan of the profile you choose to keep. From an ex-pat point of view I like the fact that politics is separated. It’s still the best community on the internet that I’ve encountered…. Yes there are a few excessive posters who can drag it down at times, but on the whole it is a community of people who are linked by Cardiff City and that’s a good thing as far as I’m concerned. Even though from a personal point of view, there are some divisive perspectives at times, I know that if I could help anyone on here I know I’d be willing
