I'm somewhat reluctant to descend in to the fray, but for fear that that reluctance is interpreted as an inability to defend by position...

Despite repeated and specific warnings not to and bans for the same. I also understand that you gave an assurance to another mod that you would not.

No! Really?
Quote Digger_the_Dog="Neil HFC"If its ok for your posters to refer to various fc fans as slags, every ones bitch not to mention numerous references to being dim or hard of thinking, then I really fail to see how you can take the moral high ground tbh.'"
Where it is nasty and personal I (and I'm sure we) try to edit/delete/lock as appropriate. I'm sure we miss a few, but that is not a policy. I've never refused or neglected to act on a reported insult. On the more tribal stuff perhaps we could do something across both boards if we think it has gone past banter. Here are some recent highlights...

I know those inbreds from the East side live in a fantasy world, but the website below takes the biscuit!

I’m not having a pop at you or Paul or Kosh – I’d have let the equivalents go almost certainly. Not nice, but a couple are quite funny. When this stuff jumps to the other board it causes problems though, which I suspect is where some people see a lack of consistency. Some of our lot could do with thicker skins, but we’ve got to cope with a much lower normal poster to troll ratio.
Quote Digger_the_Dog="Mrs Barista"You forgot being called "parasite" and "manipulative liar", '"
That was a problem. Doing what you do you have to expect some flak, but that crosses the line. As I say, if we're to have an open board, some of [uus[/u need to develop thicker skins or, failing that, gentler tongues.
Quote Digger_the_Dog="Mrs Barista"It's also OK to post 150 times in 48 hours that Tom Briscoe is gash.'"
That was a thread started on the Rovers board by an FC troll to gloat at Fox being dropped in favour of Briscoe. Fox was referred to as a village idiot, amongst other things. What did you expect when Briscoe was in turn dropped for Fox? I think the point about thicker skins applies again.
Quote Digger_the_Dog="Mrs Barista"As Chris28 says, if you're such a big man to post in absolute arrogance about O'Meley and Fitz being dross, and that FC will finish outside the play-offs (Zod's predictions for 2010), you really should be big enough to admit you were an utter fool when you are proved wrong on all counts, rather than just being unable to handle it and making nasty and personal comments about the person simply reminding them of their folly in a factual way.'"
You should be able to respectfully disagree and then move on, I agree.
Quote Digger_the_Dog="Suzie"I occasionally look on there but it's a love in nobody is allowed to be critical of the club, that certainly cannot be said about this board. There's no debate whatsoever, it's a very dull board.'"
Contentment, innit? One day, inevitably, we'll be disappointed and it'll be more like here. But with loads of trolls. Sweet baby Jesus.

He wanted to mix it and start making comments like 'Mr Punchy Drunky', which I guess was a reference to me being an ex pro boxer and a bit stupid, in his opinion.

Never on RLfans, iirc. A quick search seems to confirm that.
