What makes you think he remembers TBG? AA only has to look at TBG's profile to see when he joined and how often he has posted.Quote:

Because you never see him 'welcome back' any other posters with so little contribution.Quote:

To be fair, I think he was genuine. In passing, I have come across him once or twice in person and he does seem to remember me for whatever reason. My dashing looks and athletic body perhaps :hehe: He also rang me once at home, years ago and probably regarding the red fiasco. Similarly, I once had a phone conversation with Keith (having never met him in person) and I remember my very positive impression of him even though it was probably two or three years ago.Quote:

I used to run the Cardiff City Exiles website a number of years ago (aiding City fans to share lifts and even meet up in ex-pat locations) - and I used to be contacted occasionally by a number of parties connected with the club as a result. His knowledge of me may come from that time. In passing, he has addressed me simply as 'Taunton'.
I remember that site and i once contacted you during my seafaring days. Asking info for people following city from the naval base areas of Plymouth and or pompey. It was a good site as was the Urban??? ran by a lad from the 1927 club.Quote:

On the message boards it's like Jane Austen novels we have "Sense and Sensibility" counterbalanced by "Pride and Prejudice".
Both leading to "Persuasion"....
The CCS is "Northanger Abbey" before we play at "Mansfield Park"...
It has quite the feel of someone taking the general themes off of the message board and putting it into ChatGPT with the prompt of "write me a professional sounding letter based on x, y and z" because the use and style of language doesn't seem consistent with any previous user, just the content. You also have to ask the question as to why someone would create an account on that particular forum for the first time just to post that? So, whilst it looks like an existing user using AI then the identity of the author of that account is another question altogether!Quote:

If hes a genuine ex Trust member and a key member - he says his departure may mean change then a post should appear on this site soon.Quote:

Hello people and thanks for allowing me in, as it seems with a few others I am banished from that site, for basically speaking my truth which didn't align with a certain person's truth, if you know what I mean lol.
Some interesting stuff coming out now like ALL week " it's in Tans hands" but today it "Tans lawyers, etc ".
Nice to see a good few names that I remember from years back still on here too.
Those accounts and those posts always align with Mr Abrahams … wonder who could be behind them :hehe:
It was called Field Mill last time I looked.Quote:

The Trust was primarily set up due to the very real threat of Sam Hammam forcing the club into administration/liquidation and the existence of the official supporters Trust gave us the best chance of picking up the pieces in the aftermath of Hammam's reckless spending and governance of the club.
And speaking of governance, the newly created Football Governance Bill sets our own supporters trust as the prime candidate to represent all fans on the heritage items of the club (kit colours, badge changes etc). There has actually never been a more exciting time to be part of the Trust.

Why? It is hardly abusive and it is undeniably accurate? The man uses bold and italics he thinks his opinion is that important!
Does seem harsh when the Trust Chair is constantly named and attacked over there and others labelled Tan Lovers and puppets.Quote:

No you’re right, it wasn’t just pompous and sycophantic it was nauseating too, I don’t recall using the word prick at all because I know your very precious about upsetting he who shall not be named.Quote:

This board is, and always has been, very well moderated and we have had "moments" over the years and whenever MM acts he does with good reason.
Sludge could call anyone what he wanted for a good 18 months - 2 years on here before Mike finally clipped his wings but whoa betide you call an **** moderator a prick, which I don’t even recall saying.Quote:

Social media politics.
I didn't post for 10 years (i walked away from the club over the rebrand) but have been back on here and at the CCS for the last three years.
Like many I enjoy the banter / discussion / humour on here.
Posters come and go (many come back) but in this modern world of scrutiny and responsibility and complaints etc, moderating has to be taken seriously.
Let's be thankful this board still exists in the format it does.
I will get back under my rock now,
