Let me try and explan another way. Imagine you had a sewage leak at the bottom of your garden that the council were struggling to fix. It would annoy you a lot, but you'd probably have a sense of humour about it. Now imagine one of your friends or acquaintances went on about it incessantly, taking every opportunity to make a joke about it and also stating to you quite seriously that they hate your garden because it stinks of sh.t. I think a lot of people would have a similar reaction to that person as Adeybull's pal has to you. They know that things aren't going the way they'd like and they find it grating to have that seep into almost every thread, like sewage into a garden one might say, thanks to one-liners from yourself.
I mean, come on, that two points joke doesn't even make sense. One point is an utterly unremarkable return from the frst two games of the season and the Bulls have collected more Super League points than any other club bar one, so why wouldn't a Bulls fan know what two points are? Yeah, t's 'just a joke' and I can live with it, but I can also understand why people get sick of it and end up staying away from the board as a result.

For goodness sake lighten up!
I am trying, as Adey said, to be a bit less hassle to some folks on here. The least some people can do is maybe let me at least TRY to do so?

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017

TBH I am sick to death of your moderate approach. I know of at least 20 people who I don't see at games who will gladly chin you.

on reading that, it occurs to me that maybe we could all do with some of that cherry brandy and macaroons to help us get things back into their proper perspective?

That's just it though ME . . isn't it?
Given that you seem to have struggled to understand the last 3-4 posts I've made, when others oddly have, I'll try make this one crystal clear for you . . . I suggest you start by read the above quote again.
You've shown from the above post that you obviously recognise that you are a "hassle" but seem to only want to to be less so "for some folk". I know that there are those on here that are struggling to identify who those "some folk" are. Perhaps the intended recipients know?
Now having demonstrated your limited/restricted viewpoint on this particular standpoint, is there any wonder that some people are well past the point of letting you "try". Given post/comments et al. over several months I'd suggest that many people are too far past that point for you now.
Whilst I may be being blunt I'm certainly not meaning to be hurtful ME - I'm merely trying to explain how others view things.
