She wasn't.

Quote: Wellsy13 "Roy, Kosh, the way you both have put your opinion across is fine and respectful and you seem to imply that, despite the negatives, Terry made a great contribution to the game. Mintball's approach seems the opposite and that is why so many people are angered and find it disrespectful so soon after he's died and I think it's a crying shame that she feel's the need to constantly bring it up on every Terry Newton thread she's commented on. Is it really necessary? No. Has it achieved anything? No. So what was the point?'"

I've read through all the posts on the various threads on this topic. I haven't seen a single one by Mintball that I would class as disrespectful.

Not one.

As I said, it seems that the definition of respect when it comes to speaking about the recently departed seems to have shifted a great deal from anything I recognise.

Likewise. I've not seen anything from Mintball which is substantially different in content or tone than anything I've written. What I have seen is that she was the first to break with the whitewash approach, and was jumped on by some posters, really viciously, for daring to write anything which wasn't bland and meaningless.

Since then, all her posts I've seen have not been gratuitously criticising Newton, but merely defending her right to post her more nuanced views.

I've really not enjoyed seeing this happen over the last week. It really felt at times like I was witnessing some sort of lynch-mob mentality, where someone was being vilified simply because they differed from what many posters believed to be "respectful" - itself an entirely subjective concept.

Quote: mapleyther "Excellent attempt at spin. Unfortunately the only reason he only played 2 games whilst cheating was because he very quickly got caught! Unless you are telling me, of course, that after those 2 games he had already decided to confess the crime to the appropriate authorities?

Actually I will remember Newton more as a bit of a thug..you could excuse the drug taking (perhaps) because of depression and desperation...but deep down he was a dirty player and few would argue against that.'"


exactly - given the chance he would have played for at least 2 seasons using HGH, maybe more.

Newsnight 13th May 2010: "With the role of Deputy Prime Minister a non-job. Has Nick Clegg gone from King Maker to tea maker????" I kept the faith and I kept voting Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand For theirs is a land with a wall around it And mine is a faith in my fellow man Theirs is a land of hope and glory Mine is the green field and the factory floor Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers And mine is the peace we knew Between the wars:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4486.png

I have. Not sure what point you're trying to make though.
