couple of dins having a good laugh ,not worth a trust meI was just thinking 'is this drivel still going on........?'.
I was just thinking 'is this drivel still going on........?'.
Apparently so -you have just contributed to it -nothing of worth, of course.
...I don't know 'easy10', but know enough about life to know that having 43,000+ posts on here, he thinks gives him ceratin rights....."i'm right, you're wrong" springs to mind! Why else would you possibly want to post over 43,000 f*cking times?
The same alas, goes for any 'high score' poster. When I first posted on here I got called a JCL....oh, really. Had the poster that called me that been to the Goldstone/Priestfield/Withdean/& 'the other one'?....probably not. He made an immediate patronising assumption, based on a 'post count'.
Will I be the same in 950 posts time? - life's too short. 'High posters'.....go & get one
I don't know you either. But 11 years worth of posts tends to stack up after a while, and I was certainly a far more active poster on here during the Albions 'war years' than I am now. Not that it matters particularly. Does a post count give me "ceratin rights" ? Not in the slightest. But it has given me a certain perspective over the years about what is, I think, worth being bothered about on here, and what isn't. Your friend in Hastings wants to ban all insults on NSC because he feels they are unnecessary. In this way, I think he feels he is carrying the torch for some kind of enlightened debating society which will lead to a messageboard utopia here, a sanitised experience where everybody rubs along nicely, agrees to disagree, and never ever says anything a bit nasty to anyone. Well, there IS a place for that - its called Brightonfans.com and compared to this place, its deader than corduruy. I'm not saying this place is livelier because of insults - its just livelier because people truly vent their spleens, still within reason, without being pulled up on it. Its brash, its baudy, and its laugh-out-loud funny, and rightly or wrongly, part of that IS the insults which fly around sometimes.
NSC is fine just as it is, and yes, I do get a little bit defensive and narky when someone comes on here saying we should be clamping down on this and not letting people say that. There is a balance to be struck, because outright mindless abuse is never something particularly worthwhile. But IMO that balance is already being struck, it is under control, and I don't want to see a load more censorship come in just because a few sensitive souls pull their handbags up to their chins due to a few choice remarks.
So nerr.

This is a football messageboard, not a tea room at the Womens Institute.
I'd agree that a line needs to be drawn at mindless insults and abuse for the sake of it. But if I want to call someone a COCKSMOKER every now and then, I don't see the harm in that. We're all grown-ups. Mostly.
Sorry...calling people names went out with school days...not very adult at all.

Bloody right mate.
...Get off this thread then, friend - you must have more important 'small town' business to attend to....(?)
There are too many on this board who choose to play the man not the ball and pick on a posters style or personally attack them (this thread holds some excellent examples of this).
It's the only thing he excels at bless him. Second toughest in the infants.
Hmmmm definitely safer to say nothing I think my old pigeon mate.
Now let the grown ups talk
You really don't have to justify your postings to me pigeon.
Your input will be so missed pigeon.
You're not wrong there.I agree with your point too Hasting Gull
The trouble with insults and abuse is that, contrary to Easy 10 assertions, they usually end any kind of intelligent debate about a subject and result in a slanging binfest which really just stifles any debate and renders discussion pointless.

And here's a few more of someone playing the man and not the ball:
Eh? All I did was point out where you had played the man. You yourself admitted that you had. I've certainly not had a pop at you by posting the times you insulted me. Do you understand the difference?
And you simply can't try to take the moral high ground on this thread lecturing others about not playing the man if, for whatever reason you yourself have REPEATEDLY done just that elsewhere. Well, you can't without laying yourself open to accusations of hypocrisy.
