Quote: Shaggoth "Having never complained about a kit before I kind of feel afronted that people (not neccesarily yourself) go off at the deep end when I (or anyone else) point out I really dislike the new effort.'"
It wasn't one specific person that the comments were aimed at though. It was the supporter base as a whole that the majority
always complain. Who the majority are probably changes with each different thing to moan about (or in this case, with each different kit), but the fact remains the majority badmouth the club more often than not for every decision they make.
Quote: Shaggoth "Whether people have moaned, as you say, for 15 years or not, I think they are entitled to say whether they like the new kit without some melodramatic inquest occuring. Perhaps like me they haven't actually complained about the shirt before?'"
Perhaps. But by the same token, people are also entitled to call out on the fact that people moan about every single bloody decision the club make, regardless of what it is.
Quote: Shaggoth "I stick by my comments that persistent offenders on these boards hijack thread after thread unless people toe their line of thought. I find it disturbing.'"
I completely disagree with that. There are certain things that do get hijacked, which I have learned to ignore. However you're complaining about people moaning that you don't like something, and yet really, you're doing exactly the same by complaining about those of us slating the badmouthers. If that makes sense.....
You (and others) have an opinion that the kit sucks. Me (and others) disagree with what's been said and have responded to it.
Me (and others) have said people badmouth the club at often opportunity. You then disagree with that and have responded to it.
I fail to see much difference.
