Villain: For petulant, bullyboy behaviour... huforum.truth.posiweb.net/hufc.mpl?id=208534If the link doesn't work (the website's now due to be closing down) what it appears to me to boil down to is... On an independant Hereford United website a poster questioned the official crowd figures (something I've seen quite a few times on forums). Mr Turner as chairman and manager of HUFC got the hump with this. The guy who runs the forum received a 'phone call from Turner and when informed of said post, has removed the post as is, as I understand it, the legal way in the uk, but has received a lifetime ban from Edgar Street. This guy has apparently supported Hereford since a child and has put in many hours and effort supporting, raising funds, etc for the club. Forget about shooting the messanger, this appears to be blowing up the whole bloody post office! |

I heard about this and thought it was absolutely ridiculous, I know for example if a Buckschat moderator got banned because of something someone else said I'd be absolutely fuming. There's a petition going on to turn the ban. www.gopetition.co.uk/online/14043.htmlI signed it as soon as I saw it. |

This is utterly preposterous. Banning someone who questions gate figures is stupid enough, but banning someone else for it just because you know who he is....  |

The attitude shown by the powers-that-be at Hereford reminds me of the old joke where a little lad greets the milkman with a cry of "Who puts watter in't milk?!!" The milkman gets really hot under the collar when this continues for a couple of days and calls the boy's father outside, threatening to get the law onto him if the son doesn't stop it. Next day, the boy winks at the milkman and says "Ah, tha' knows then!" Seriously it just goes to show that some clubs don't recognise the effort put in by some fans to help promote the club. For years now, a gentleman by the name of Neil Brown has been running an unofficial site, srfc.co.uk, unpaid and without any financial assistance from Stafford Rangers FC, even printing out posters and flyers advertising upcoming games and distributing in the town trying to drum up support. The way they have repaid him is to threaten to take away his camera if tries to take any more photos inside Marston Road rather than allow him accreditation and recognition to run the site. When the current licence runs out in January then srfc.co.uk will be no more, which is a shame given all the hard work and money that Neil has put into the site.  |

Welcome to the modern world Freedom of speech and expression is a hideous black art in today's overregulated society. Spot on There may come a time when there's a time-delay on posting on a Forum, like on live radio. Gives the poor Mods a chance to vet each and every post before Public release. [Or refer things to Lawyers before publication]. Makes me want to go and find an establishment statue to engage in making scatological references on....  - " If there's one thing America needs, it's more Lawyers". Lionel Hutz. - What do Lawyers use for contraception? Their personality. - What's the difference between a fish and a Lawyer? One's a wet, slimy, cold, spineless entity, whereas.... |

Fish do have spines! And ISIHAC and I are not EVER going to do that to you ;D
The Americans have a love-hate relationship with lawyers. They have so many derogatory jokes about them, yet they're the first people an American goes to if his wife breaks her nail on the oven door.

Nah. They all go to see their psychiatrist first - then add his/her bill to their damages claims :-)

Seriously though - if ever it became mandatory for mods to vet every posting then this place and shedloads of others would go off to silicon heaven! I mean. Who on earth has got the time to read ALL of the poo that's posted on here? (Joking - you are all totally wonderful and I love you. Totally pertinent and absorbing debate on a daily basis. Let's hear no more about it.)  |

Fish do have spines! And ISIHAC and I are not EVER going to do that to you ;D I know some fish have spines, but not all... news.ufl.edu/2006/10/03/immune/ ...not even in Northampton! ;D We used to have a Yankee Science Master who had done work for NASA. He was an odd one, but a marvel too. He reckoned to have seen luminous spiders in the Amazon. I never did myself, though maybe I was too young to try the local hallucinogens... When we were being morally weak, however, he used to call us Annelids. So I guess that's how I first became interested in spinelessness...  |

Surely if it doesn't have a spine it can't be classified as a fish? Annelids are wormy things, not fish.
The Wikipedia definition of "fish" is: "Fish are aquatic vertebrates that are cold-blooded, covered with scales, and equipped with two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins."
Other definitions agree with this.
Don't tell me there are spineless fish out there!
