Are you for real?

Colin stated 2 weeks ago he had had enough and was going to watch City

Jamie has openly stated he goes to watch Warrington (which at the moment is far better than going to watch my RL team)

So please do tell what is wrong with commenting on people match viewing habits when they themselves have commented on it?

Apologies, wasn't trying to bicker, was just trying to clarify the point Jamie was making with his comment. I don't go and watch Vics anymore but I am still interested in signings, whether this is to see if a former player has re-joined or whether we are still paying too high wages for the standard we are playing at.

It's a dubious path for all concerned to post about - because it inevitably leads to tensions and ructions. As the high levels of arguing on this thread show.

As I suggested... post with care.

I changed me mind about supporting man city. It was all that bullying and name calling was making me feel down so was easy to runaway, anyway i have manned up since so vics have my full support.

There you see Mr Moderator we can talk about this without any tension and ructions. I have no problems with Jamie supporting Warrington even tough I'm a Saints fan and I won't be having a go at Colin if he wanted to watch Man City.

Tensions and ructions however are far more likely when people give their continued support of Mr Rushe with no explanation as to why.

I have nothing personal against Colin or Jamie and only find myself arguing when we talk about the owner of our football club.

I think you've come along and have been a little over zealous with your moderation without knowing all the history!

Mark, I've been on this board and its predecessors from Day 1 back in 1995/96 when Les Esling hosted the site, so I know all about the history.

To re-iterate what I said earlier, and saying this as someone who has actually stated their own match viewing preferences... posting such views is a dubious road to go down as it can lead to arguments. Hence the advice to post with care.

It's the duty of a moderator to suggest when care is needed in posts or in threads when tensions are high and arguing is rife. No amount of grumbling will prevent any of the moderators giving such advice.
