We have a vociferous section on here who are prolific in slating the coach, raising public petitions and calling passholders "disgusting" for compromising the future of the club by having the audacity to financially support it. Those demonstrating some positivity are termed apologists/delusional/cuddle crew. Is this "bullying" too?
Of course it's up to you what you post on here and I don't think I've stipulated a postcount threshold requirement or told you what to say. Maybe that's your cognitive bias. If I come across as intimidating that's not my intention, but like you I'll defend my right to post.
On Webster, I'm not sure. He seemed popular in his brief tenure here and was a handy halffback who'll be better for head coach experience. Sounds like Horne is putting a big shift in on video analysis and prep so at worst it's another pair of hands.
Of course bullying cuts both ways, and like I said, everyone should be able to air their own point of view, whether they are in support of what the club does or against it.
Calling passholders disgusting for supporting the club is just as reprehensible as it would be if the same term were applied to soemone who had chosen not to go in protest.
The point is that everyone should be free to express themselves. I didn't agree myself with the petition as I didn't think it was constructive or particularly effective but if that's what someone wants to do then they're entitled to do it, and shouldn't be vilified for doing so.
The fact is I've always put across an objective viewpoint, never once used abusive or threatening language, don't use the terminology you refer to (apologists/delusional/cuddle crew) yet you still sought to apply your term "negative" to me.
I'm neither "negative" nor "positive". I'm a person with an opinion, and it should be respected whether you agree with it or not.
