I don't post often on here simply because very few people seem to have anything interesting to say. No need for that, Jase...you're entitled to your opinion, but you know what they say to do if you don't have anything nice to say

I've always been of the opinion that if I find someone boring then it's because I've not engaged them on something that they're interested in - and therefore I've been boring in their opinion too.

Y' see, I post a no strings comment to say there's not much chat on here that's floating my boat and some of you have already managed to take offense... It's a factual statement - there's no need to try and read any more into it. It was one of the site admins that noted the fall in posts on here, hence "very few people seem to have anything interesting to say". Of course, this also means that I don't have anything interesting to say either, as I haven't posted...
Perhaps if there were a few more football related threads things might pick up a bit? Shirley that's better than looking for problems that don't exist?
Back on topic...
I'm struggling to think of any games I've been to as a neutral over the last season... I have some recollection of tinpot-related tours, but I think most were for alcohol consumption rather than football.
There were three tinpot posters at Wimbledon last Tuesday - does that count as a tour?

Hmm... You can see why people might take offense at that though, and how it might even come across as a little bit arrogant.
I didn't take offense myself, but I'm just saying that I can see why people would after reading back over it.

People can choose to take offense at anything though. Unfortunately, it is becoming the default reaction to everything, particularly online. Perhaps it explains why you see 'sinister agendas' when none exist?
Can you see why people might consider you a raving lunatic for impersonating a robot? Can you see why people might consider Scaffold Rangers fans as mentally challenged? Can you see why people might make such observations as good natured banter?
I had assumed that things posted on here would be taken in a light hearted fashion, because that's what this forum is/was meant to be about. (I make similar assumptions about most other forums, but it's bloody hard work out there these days.)

You're absolutely spot on, J Esaj, just as people might consider Tamscum fans as curmudgeonly smart-arses who enjoy putting people down, or might consider Gateshead fans as beligerent northern nut-jobs out to insult the whole world. Just good-natured footy banter. Bet you're laughing along with me right now ;D

Right, that's enough. Jase, point taken and believe me where there is humour, there is banter & bonhomie.
When users complain and the subject of complaint is the same, we have a common denominator. It's not a lack of humour or somesuch, it's people getting fed up with particular posters and their postings. It is, i this case, that simple and to go further, it is not you that has been dishing it out.
Consider this particular thread closed folks. This area of the forum is for chat relating to FOOTBALL. It's why we are here at all if you remember.
Stay on topic please.
