How predictable! The confrontation seekers have lived down to expectations.

I rest my case and will leave those of you who find it impossible to have a debate, using persuasive language instead of resorting to personal attacks, and swearing to fight it out amongst yourselves.

Good luck to the reasonable, sensible posters left on here. I have enjoyed reading what you’ve had to say.

This really is my last post.

That's a typically pathetic comment which simply brings this forum into disrepute. It smacks of the anonymous rubbish which apparently (I don't follow it) litters so-called social media

Everyone has the right to say what they think but they also have a responsibility to show respect at the same time.

Please, let’s use this as a watershed moment and move forwards with no more name calling or derogatory comments made to people who hold different views.

all the above posts are exactly the reason why myself and a lot more have ceased to post anything on this forum, childish remarks belong in the playground not on here.

Hang on a minute ... you've had your last post.
Is this the last post +1?

Give over.
Nobody has insulted anyone.
People are coming on here with their precious views.
They can't tolerate a bit of disagreement and your telling folk to calm down.
If they ain't happy let them go elsewhere.
Twitter maybe .. that's where the twits are.

Nobody has responsibility on here apart from sticking to the AUP.

You don’t get the message do you?

People are telling you they don’t come on here because of the behaviour of the posters.

You dismiss this as not being relevant.

If our numbers decline much more you’ll be talking to yourself.

I don’t care what insults you might throw at me, it’s water off a duck’s back. Other people don’t want to post given that environment.

I get it alright ... a group of individuals who can't wait to be offended.
Bloody hell it's a national obsession being offended.

Perhaps you would like to trawl through any of MY posts and give tangible evidence of where I actually insulted someone at a personal level?
Good luck with that, because I don't do it.
I do however take umbridge with folk who come on here moaning about the atmosphere and try to shut down debate.
And as I have said, they either muck in or sod off.
It ain't a kindergarten.

What I do suggest is that people confine their posts to matters relating to rugby league and not to lecturing other posters and that includes your good self.
It is a rugby forum for goodness sake!
Not a social group.

People don't come on here for a variety of reasons, which we have discussed before.
They may include, but are not exclusively down to moi.

Back to rugby?

Nobody objects to differences of opinion. That's what a forum like this for. What we don't need is gratuitous rudeness. And that seems to be your stock in trade.

Rudeness?
Get you!
lol

Well if you don't like it you have two choices.

Any more words of wisdom to help restructure my flawed personality?

Stick to rugby eh?

I am not attempting to shut down debate. I’m asking whether we can make the forum a friendlier place; a place that welcomes more posters and more debate.


A few quotes from yesterday on another thread...






I don’t see any references to rugby in this conflict you instigated.

Danensian responded to your latest post by saying


I’m afraid you don’t seem to be able to see how others perceive your posts, do you?

Earlier posters were highlighting why they don’t feel welcome. My request for a friendlier more understanding forum has clearly been rejected.

I prepared a lengthy reply but deleted it.
You know what?
I will only respond to rugby matters from now on and not to your quest for Nirvana.
Rugby??????????
How many times????????

Anyone noticed how long it's been since the last fans post on Eagles site, proper shabby compared to Dons.

All posters are welcome assuming that they abide by the AUP.

I would hope that we are all able to debate issues without causing offence but equally, there will be many times where we don't agree. I would also add that banter is fine but personal insults are not acceptable.

To those posters who feel the need to back off, I say keep posting, the forum will ultimately be a better place if we have more points of view.
