Sorry, but anyone who starts a thread like this deserves to be shot down in flames, laughed at, called names, insulted and abused.
It's not like he didn't ask for it

After all the years of abuse and bigotry by the Rugby Football Union, we go crawling to them for help and take on their name and colours. It was a dark day when it happened in my (and a few others) eyes.
I can't see many benefits on gameday of being Quins rather then the Broncos. For example
......so glad you could spare the time to pop in and post

This is the bit where we all start to feel sorry for rupe1 and scimitars.....
Quote: rupe1 "Anyone who dares criticise the club and its players on here is shot down in flames - t'was ever thus.
My criticism of Jon Wells is a case in point. His strike rate as a super league winger is absolutely pathetic and has been for a number of years yet because he is a nice bloke and chats with people, anyone who dares say he is not good enough is shot down by the fundamentalists on here.
When voices such as mine and Scimitars mention that they don't like the product and don't want to watch it anymore, the fundamentalists on here tell them that they are 'miseries' or that 'you aren't welcome here with an attitude like that'
The simple fact is that Harlequins RLs average crowd is pathetic and getting worse. Rather than clapping yourselves on the back about how 'loyal and loud' you are, why not show some humility and accept others points of view? Why not accept that the club as it stands is not attractive to thousands of lapsed fans?'"
and we can now see that rupe1 is an educated poster, as he has a degree in stating the obvious
Quote: rupe1 "What a fatuous response. The club does need people like me because its average attendance is pathetic and getting worse and if it carries on like this a Super League licence next time around cannot be taken for granted.'"
followed by righteous indignation
Quote: rupe1 "Of course thats how it works, however does that mean personal insults at someone you have never met is acceptable?'"
and my caring reply...
Quote:
rupe1 "Of course an insult is acceptable. If you want to visit a forum full of RL fans and discuss what you think is going wrong, then you expect to get shot down. Your persecution complex on the other hand would point to deeper more personal issues
