What a brilliantly constructed and logical argument !
I think that goes right to the heart of the matter and you've obviously given the question a great deal of thought .

I also like to think the (proper) bellend count on this board is somewhat representative of our fan base in general.
One in a few hundred is not bad going.
There we go with the multi ID paranoia again !
It kind of says everything that you're concerned that a few people here can write more than one sentence at a time without calling someone names. It seems though that you're prepared to accept this as long as the vast majority are utter ****ing morons who couldn't find their own arse with both hands !

Maybe you just have to accept that a lot of people find a proportion of your posts annoying and will continue to do so if you carry on reproaching others for expressing an opinion.
Re: Our Supporters - are you even Welsh??
That might be a constructive post. I don't for one moment intend to reproach anyone for having an opinion .
If it's taken like that , it's a mistake . What I often do is to express my own view quite forcefully and when I see a problem with the opposite argument I will use all sorts of devices to point that out.
I do certainly use colourful language , and sometimes I'm joking whilst sometimes I'm not and I do appreciate that the difference is sometimes subtle . However, I'm a great supporter of most freedoms, including those of speech and expression, so please don't think that I'm trying to stamp them out in anyone.
I'm a bit old fashioned in that I regard open debate as a bit of a round house and I probably expect a bit more robustness than is present with young people now, or even older people who have joined the yogurt knitting ,politically correct fashion.
If someone is saying something daft, I don't think it's helping them to pretend to see their point, but maybe a lot of them are so sensitive now that it upsets them to hear stuff they don't like or which contradicts the media or state education system.

It's actually a bit pathetic if your only ability to respond is to launch some abusive crap which you wouldn't say to anyone in person .
Do you think it makes you sound clever or hard or what ?

You do hold yourself in quite high regard, fairplay. I suppose it must sting all the more when others fail to realise the intricacies of your discourse.

What do you think a gimp mask is, out of interest?

I don't know whether I hold myself in high regard. In one sense we should all try to do our best, but on the other we are all just mortal men who can know almost nothing of the true nature of the world.
It doesn't sting at all if some people who don't seem very clued up don't appreciate or maybe even understand what I might say - perhaps it dissapoints sometimes because I'm generally only saying it to involve them in discussions from which I suspect they're generally excluded.
I've every reason to be confident in my abilities , so the utterances and expletives of a few yobs on a football forum are unlikely to dent my self image much - not that self image or ego are huge things to me.
To be absolutely frank, I'm a bit horrified that there are so many thickies and so few articulate people here. It's not how I remember the people of South Wales years ago when Colliers would sit there discussing Socrates and imagining a world of advancement for their children and grandchildren.
I remember how they scrimped to provide libraries and books for local schools to this end. I have reason to be grateful to them for this, and therefore if anything "stings", it is seeing that their efforts apparently turned out to be fruitless in so many cases.

To be fair we didn’t have many Welsh footballers about then to enthuse over so Socrates was a decent shout.

I'd ask for a refund. There's no such thing as a Celtic DNA as they were a group of ethnically diverse tribes who shared a common linguistic root.
