Having looked at the NW thread I think some people on here simply need to get a life.
Firstly I fail to see the point in bad language and I would propose that the person who controls this board prevents people using the F&C words it's simply disgusting and in my opinion shows a lack of intelligence.
Also at the same time the name TED should be banned ( sorry for the decent ones with the same name) in whatever format it appears,as simply winding people up and hurling insults at people is only funny in one persons mind.
We are all Town fans,we all have opinions but let's just cut out the constant abuse and backbiting that goes on in some of the mindless posts that are allowed to appear on here.
I do understand that it is difficult sometimes not to respond as I have been guilty of it myself ( but no bad language) but can we all please try to be happy and cut put the foul language and abuse.
I will give this posting less than 5 responses before some really clever person produces a two word response so well done in advance,so let me be the first to wish them all a merry Xmas

I think it's more down to it being off season and the same period coinciding with some quite historic political events that's understandably inflamed things on here...
Ordinarily a lot of the stuff would remain off topic.

This forum would also be improved if certain posters (mentioning no names Reading) could refrain from starting new threads unnecessarily. I'm not saying this particular thread is an example of that.....

That's exactly what I mean.
We used to have women and youngsters contribute to discussions on here.
They seem to have all left.

Problem with this message board these days is there's too much ganging up on individuals, always by the same handful of posters. I am old school and will always fight my corner like I used to do on the terraces. These days I am a decent chap and can take a wind up but will retaliate. I know our celebrity poster talks a lot of sense and I actually agree with a lot that he posts but there are others who are up for winding other's up but can't take some competition without getting narky. Then there are the really annoying ones that seem to be wanting to join 'the gang' by trying to grease ass round certain posters. I have been on this board and the previous one for years but I am not the sort that will sulk and quit just because of a certain few posters. From now on I will just ignore their posts and carry on enjoying the rest of the board. |

What is it with posters on here acting like a dick and then playing the victim? All this gang stuff is bollocks, if anything Marcus and this weird Danny Ward fan boy deserve much more abuse than they get imo.

I tend to just scan through threads. It's a right pain having to scroll past two or more posters, in seemingly every thread, descending into a slagging match over nothing.
Then there's the ones that feel the need to spam up everything with inane drivel that has nothing to do with the topic.
It's not just this forum. If there was a 'Watching Paint Dry' forum somewhere I'm sure there would be two clowns hurling insults over which is the best paint...

I'm more of a lurker that a poster on here, but I'm sorry that appears to be wrong on at least two counts. The average age of the posters on most threads appears to be between 2 and 3 years old and there don't appear to be any actual discussions anymore. All the threads just end up as foul mouthed rants between the same few idiots. |

I think some of the more prolific posters need to maybe think before they post some times, the reason they are racking up such huge post counts is because it's the same regurgitated rubbish posted up time after time. Quality over quantity please chaps.

I have been on this board and the previous one for years but I am not the sort that will sulk and quit just because of a certain few posters. From now on I will just ignore their posts and carry on enjoying the rest of the board. The thing is it's almost impossible to bullshit anyone on here because it's the internet, we all see the same information, it isn't edited form person to person. It is utterly futile for posters like you and Marcus to dish out the stuff that you do, and then cry and play the victim when you get it back 10x worse, because everyone who has read the posts can see exactly who has instigated what. I have been on this forum for about 8 years under two different accounts, and I have a never once witnessed a 'clique', or a 'gang', sure there are people who get on well with each-other, or people who will support each-other's point of view, but that does not constitute a 'clique', if you think it does I suggest you buy a dictionary. What I have seen however is trending of people who claim that these 'cliques' and 'gangs' exist, as in they are always the same type of poster, they come on here making bizzare comments and then when people pull them up on it it's always 'wah wah clique', 'wah wah gangs'. The very idea that a Clique can exist on an internet forum that literally ANYONE can register for and join in the discussion is a total fallacy and a contradiction. I understand that Ted can rub people up the wrong way sometimes, but your comments towards WTD are absolutely unwarranted and everyone can see that, he is a good poster and a decent bloke, and you can count on one hand the amount of times he has got involved in the numerous petty disputes on here, which is far more than can be said most of us, myself included. Cue a response about 'licking arse' or 'get some time in'. |

I think it's mostly the Tom Cowan posters. They are small but they have a good leap on them.

I think a lot of stuff gets said in the heat of the moment. Then when they have had time to reflect on what has been said, are too stubborn or pig headed to admit they were wrong about a subject or sorry that they got carried away and posted some not very nice things. Sometimes spats go on for a few pages and can get very tedious for those not directly involved. Then when someone tries to reason with them that it's gone on too long and it's perhaps best to 'put it to bed' and move on, they get dogs abuse for daring to be the voice of reason, and it's not fair.
All in all its a decent crowd on here. Yes we disagree on some things but it would be boring if we all agreed and thought a like. Those that have different opinions should not be verbally abused just because they don't think like you. Let's try to keep it more civilised on here and make DATM a more enjoyable experience. We are all (well most of us) are on the same side after all! UTT

Entirely agree with Boston's lengthy post about cliques. It's simply used as a lazy metaphor by posters that perceive that they're being picked on. Invariably its they themselves that instigate the argument.
Without thinking long about it, I'd guess that there are maybe 10 or 12 posters on here who I know personally. Most of those I know quite well and see regularly at games and I can't imagine any of them resorting to the sort of language or "cliquey" behaviour some claim exists.

Well perhaps you should have a word with them also. I agree with Reading one can have banter and an arguement without every time reverting to gutter language. Look we all have used it at some time or another but recently on here it is becoming the norm for no valid reason. I rarely now get to the end of a thread as it is so depressing by about page 2 or 3 with the same old crowd having at go at their usual adversaries, totally forgetting the theme of the original thread.

This board has gone south.
Some posters just abuse a few less fortunate ones.
