Yes, but from psychological, point of view, it makes interesting reading.
For people to take enjoyment out of this sorry mess, wow, their enjoyment threshold must be very low.

I just think the nature of failure in rugby league means so many are at each other's throats. Every opportunity seems to be at someone elses expense and every downfall benefits someone else in some way. It breeds a lot of jealousy and resentment.
Let's put it this way, two go down this year. If Bradford implode, it's one of the slots taken. It doesn't matter how tactful a fan is, if your club is likely to be scrapping at the bottom, you'll breathe a sigh of relief if it looks like you'll be safe for another year.
It's just sad people end up saying things they'll regret down the line. We've all been stupid once or twice but some live in stupid.

Only in the echo chambers. Real world people are rational.

No, I do not "feel marginalised". I feel the same as I have always felt, attempting to discuss the thread subject, and respond to points made, but as often as not instead having to read yet another post like the one you just made.
The collapse of the club we follow is taking a toll. Comments like this and the others mean less than zero to me. You may be allowed to make them, but please don't flatter yourself that you are in some way relevant to me, because you're not. I continue to be happy to discuss anything with you, but it seems clear that you don't want to discuss, you just want to carry on with this sort of attempt at goading. That's up to you. I just think it's sad.'"
You were calling people scum the very last page. I don't think I need to trawl 108 pages to see you attacking someone either. It's not doing anyone any favours.

I’m afraid that’s the way it is now, society dictates & this is where we are.
Anyhow, it looks like the main protagonists have gone for a lay down.

| So basically the RL family is largely of sound mind, but as with most families we have the odd racist gran.

Agreed, unfortunately the ones who post the "troll"
Posts are the ones who get noticed and reactions.
All forums have idiots.

A bit of fun at another clubs expense has always gone on regardless of the situation.
The problem now is licencing and the continual shifting of rugby posts by the governing body when its suited there needs or wants.
Hopefully over the next few years the sport and some clubs can regain some integrity,i shan't be holding my breathe though,i can assure you of that.

If you tried holding your breath for the next few years you might have a bit of trouble.

I did not call anybody scum. It is unfortunate that you have not called the person I was responding to for what he said,
Quote: " but some of the more delusional Bradford posters on here deserve the ridiculing they are getting '"
Trying to work out why you have singled me out for public rebuke, I am struggling. My post wasEr, Durham Giant is not a Bradford poster. But it is true that Bradford fans' misfortune is certainly flushing the scum up out of the toilet sewers, that's for sure. '"
This was both a direct reference to the posts put up by DG, which are very strange, and especially unfortunate given he is a Mod; plus a general comment which I consider is very fair comment, especially on the RAB forum where some quite vile things have been said. Indeed, it is on much the same lines as a post by another Mod, this time one from RAB
"Filth", "scum", all much of a muchness, but like me, he did NOT CALL ANY INDIVIDUAL "filth". I think his comment is very fairly said, and just as fair as mine, but as you publicly chide me, why haven't you done the same with him?
I don't claim to be a paragon of virtue but seem to be the first person who has been now singled out, when I would think I am one of the people trying to and mostly succeeding to sticking to topic.
And yes, with the greatest of respect you WILL have to trawl a lot more than 108 pages to see me attacking anyone. You will find that I only respond to attacks. I don't gratuitously make them. Typically I will make some comments about the situation at the Bulls, or answer some questions or address some issues, and then some wonderfully nice saintly individual will frequently come on and say nothing whatsoever in response, but just have a pop, attempt to take the pis, or otherwise flame.
Is it your view that if someone comes on here and has a right go at me, and the post is allowed to stay up, that I nevertheless can't respond? I'm sorry but either the attack goes, or I have a right of reply, as long as my reply does not breach AUP which I'm sure they do not.
I haven't even participated in the thread that much, and the first time I called someone an idiot was when one "Durham Giant", who like your good self is allegedly a Moderator somewhere, posted a purely gratuitous attack on me by name, thus
... and that was on page 96. I had not said a word about anyone acting illegally, least of all the RFL. Nobody pulled him up on that.
I then retorted in kind to FlexWheeler when that person instead of posting anything on topic, posted that I wasStill blaming anyone other than those responsible I see........'"
... when I had not been doing any such thing. It was, of course, just done gratuitously and in an attempt to provoke, and so I think i was fair in putting him in his place in my defence.
And that's it. So why have a go at me? I don't get it. Next time perhaps you should think again about those 108 pages before you have a go at me for things which I haven't done.

I have to apologise for getting sucked into that.
Reading my posts i have not said anything particularly negative about Bradford other than the management of it nor would I.
Bradford were the first team i supported. As a young Kid i used to get the 364 to Badford where i met my Uncle who used to take me to Northern matches. My first hero was Keith Mumby. Then when i started comprehensive school i started watching Fartown. I would never disrespect Bradford out of respect for my uncle.
I have responded to some of the more ridiculous / paranoid posts from FA and one other. And enjoyed taking the P out of him due to his lack of insight. His own abuse of people and then resorting to reporting posts with the report button is laughable.
He and one other poster have done more to undermine any lingering support or sympathy that was left on this forum for the Bulls yet he does not see it.
Cue FA reading all my posts and misquoting something with lots of quote elements to make himself look clever.
However , i should stop it now. So good luck to Bradford and their fans although i hope FA finds a penny and loses a pound.
