I've read some shameful things on this Board over the years, but I think that is as bad as it gets. What a waste of a life.

He's not been on since 7:42pm last night. He seems to be taking a break.
Why don't we end this thread here and move on to football?

It's an attitude created by GDPR, though, even if not mentioned. I've spent my entire professional career working in and around online forums. Prior to GDPR, never really saw this sort of thing much. Since then ... a lot more frequent. Either because the person making the request genuinely thinks GDPR gives them that right, or because they've seen the chaos someone else making such a request causes and want to replicate that on their way out the door.
Personally, I think the intent behind GDPR is great. Implementation ... not so much (which is both a government and a business failing). It's a complicated piece of legislation (especially as it's not just GDPR - there's also PECR and the Data Protection Act and various other Acts that interact with GDPR in a way that influences how GDPR operates).
Yep.
As you say, since GDPR came along, I've received a LOT more of these and many of them are simple mischief-making, wanting to be as difficult as possible. How I love those people. Particularly when they just re-register at some point later as if nothing happened.

As someone from 2003 and previous with a low post count (phew!), with the odd exception I don't really want to see anyone leave NSC.
I'll even suffer Doggie and IQ20's postings when they reemerge on here, albeit with continued unresolved questions about life choices.
Haven't agreed with everything the OP's said, but his knowledge of European football and individual players is impressive.
But let's be quite clear here. No-one's driven Swansman off the Board. He's going of his own free will.
Whether that's partly because there's no more Kool Aid to keep drinking with GP not here, I don't know.
I hope he returns in time, but even allowing for GDPR, I don't believe Bozza or any mod should spend a second deleting his posts.
It's North Stand Chat, not North Swan Chat.

Because some people might not notice the dramatic departure?
Shame really - Swanny on football, especially with his knowledge of European football, was a useful poster to read. On non-football matters, even in the context of a predominantly leftish and socially very liberal platform like NSC, he could come out with some absolutely outlandish and twattish bullshit!

That was my initial view on the OP. Several people have asked why he just didn't leave the forum and not post again. There's the answer.
When you told him he had to delete his own posts, he retracted, announcing he would take a month off.
There's me sitting quietly reading NSC. I am simply browsing through various threads. My mind is blank. My thoughts drift to GDPR. Yes, I know that's odd. I can't help it. Surely there's nobody who'd do the emboldened action above? A sad person, perhaps? Conscious of needing to get back to work, I decide to post in haste. Unfortunately, the phone rings and my thoughts disappear. Never to be seen again. This, I know.

The most curious thing..
Pardon?
Because we face a social epidemic that is spreading like wildfire. What’s happening to Swansman is happening all over these social media forums.
Read this book and it may help you to understand why the same old mob on here continually abuse Swansman without the slightest bit of conscious or self awareness:

Great football comments , other comments a bit meh with some good stuff mixed in to that to me averages itself out. Yes some hot debates with certain people but this a forum for debating and opinion. Yes some silly comments to wind people up, fine reply and move on. What I am seeing at the moment is a lot of sharks in the water smelling blood.
What makes NSC almost unique as a football forum is(was) its inclusiveness are we losing that.

It would be nice to find some solution on here so that Swansman continues to post but doesn't irritate so many (it can't be argued against that he winds up a lot of people tbf, even if some can't understand why). I imagine that will only happen if he can rein it in a bit and other people can chill out a bit and accept his particular ways. If neither or only one part gives a bit it will just drag on and on..... I really don't believe that he will stop posting unless banned, under Swansman or another guise! (basically because there is still so much good stuff on NSC, we can't help ourselves). Message to Swansman - you'll never find a forum as good as this one!
