It has been apparent that posters who have not agreed with, or, even more, challenged the views of Mrs Barista and her dwindling gang of playground bullies, have been subjected to ridicule and even abuse on this forum. As the teams performances have become worse and the clubs position precarious more fans, at least on here, have become more outspoken and vehement and Mrs Barista's position has become even more isolated thus causing anger and friction between the realists and the idealist's.
That's an interesting turn of phrase, I'm surprised you got away with it, so I guess it must be acceptable.
I'm in the realists' camp, so I guess you must be siding with the idealists.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

There are people on both sides of the debate - although honestly I think there's now only one side to this debate with varying degrees of fervour being expressed - that are taking things too far. This needs to stop.
There are no 'club apologists' posting on this forum, and labelling someone as such simply because they don't express their dissatisfaction with the regularity or intensity of others is not acceptable.
Similarly, not every member of the so-called 'angry brigade' is a troll who wants the club to fail or is only interested in doing the club down at every turn. Don't take troll-hunting into your own hands.
If you can't make your point with insulting other board members then don't bother posting. If you can't stick to that principle then that option will be taken away from you.
Passions are clearly running high but that's no excuse for behaviour which pushes the AUP to the limits and occasionally beyond. Most of us posting on here want the same thing at the end of the day.
Well said Kosh, i will refer to your abusive post yesterday however.

Speaking for myself Kosh,I can understand people getting frustrated on here. If I post something on here and somebody insults me ,I truthfully couldn`t give a monkeys. Passions are running high at the moment and I believe some are just letting off steam. As for trolls,well they are just a laugh, arn`t they? Anyway,its all the clubs fault for not signing Dobson the first time around.
