nail on the head there i think, woof. i've been guilty of it myself to be honest with peewee and bamaga man. of course, the rational side of me realises its a waste of time, ruins threads, and that its silly to begin or prolong a fight with you don't even know properly. we can't possibly really know what each other is like via a forum so basing a dislike on written views which lack all the nuance of spoken conversation is a bit stupid. the only person i can say i do know a little bit more is sabre having once met for a quick beer and he's a genuinely nice and generous guy with a slightly bizarre head.

i'm sure if i met peewee or bamaga man in person without knowing them from the forum we'd get along fine. at least until peewee started banging on about his education and his success and bamaga started falling out with whoever it was peewee was arguing with. many of my real life close friends have views i don't agree with but its easy to let it slide.
a forum lacks all that real life subtlety that makes getting along with people easier. all we have to go on is frequently clashing views and things can get heated very quickly. the fact that no one is going to give you a slap via the web makes having any kind of fight a piece of p!ss and no (male or female) bo'llocks are at all necessary. however, for some reason i can't put my finger on the reason that this site breeds arguments and bitching where other non football forums i visit are havens of peace and friendship.
it must be either the subject matter being discussed, the way fighting is dealt with, or the million to one chance that most of us are a bunch of belligerent and moody knob heads.

I think it's fine as it is, the mod's are reasonable and keep it much calmer than it used to be.

I know he's not an alter ego, because I explained him in a PM query when he joined who was Uncle Albert and folklore like that he knew nothing about.
About the problems with you, well, that's a matter you have to fix both of you and I won't enter there.

Didnt know you was hung up on me, I've only spoken with you once or twice.
Maybe me arguing with whoever Peewee argues with is the same with you and you Spanish friend hey.![]()
Probably means feck all coming from someone who has been banned more times than anyone

i was being light hearted about the whole thing there bamaga - or at least trying to. i was just remembering the most recent person i've had any kind of dispute or run in with - no hang ups.
not sure what you mean with the sabre comment - apart from a bit of tit-for-tat - but it's not something that really bothers me. i'm not into getting into any more silly internet spats and there are already warning signs that this thread is inevitably heading that way.

It always goes through a wee phase like this once in a while,call me a sceptic but I blame the seasons changing early,yeah its global warming thats what it is!
The world and weather fronts are pulling all over the place at unnatural times and its fuc'king gravity up.Our brains are being pulled all over the place,they just are'nt used to it and its causing erratic behaviour!![]()
In all seriousness though and if honest Peewee I think you should let it go mate!
Ever since the time you were made a mod and then quickly relieved of the duty for whatever the reason I think it dented your ego and has left a severe chip on your shoulder!You are a totally different fell since then IMO.You rarely post footy anymore and are always involved in a row with someone whether it be a little narc or a major "drama" theres always something going down!
Probably means feck all coming from someone who has been banned more times than anyone,maybe apart from Bill and Stu,but what the hell everyone else has an opinion on the matter and that is mine!
Oh and before you misinterpret my words im not saying Peewee that you are responsible for all the forums rows,far from it in fact...but you have definately changed since what I mentioned above!
some people on this site are just WUMS, they know the buttons to push which sucks. And with Sabre his udnerstanding of english sometimes does come across as sarcastic and a bit mean, ut its his second language so it wont all come across 100% perfect 100% of the time.
fo dne says shut up lad and is a bit insulting when people disagree but he does know what hes on about.
