If he dosent make valid points - THEN IGNORE IT. But don't throw snide remarks or abuse because you didn't like what was said. There was someone posting under the name of thereev a few months ago. He posted 100s of posts. I think I read TWO of them. But I didn't sling abuse at him.
Excluding thereev - I honestly don't think anyone posts on here to get a reaction. Their views may be seen as a bit 'left field' - but that's their view and it should be respected. As for your scenario: if someone was shouting that it would probably be coming from someone that you knew had 'difficulties'. You would probably know this person as you are in the same school yard as they are. An important point this - people who should know better - are slinging abuse at people that they don't know or understand that persons circumstances.
Does anybody actually know that HT has 'difficulties'? People speculate a lot but that doesn't make it a fact. I haven't actually seen any abuse of him in this thread, simply people getting extremely frustrated.
I know you'll disagree st. But I dont think that this is the correct place to discuss that sort of personal issue
I actually agree but that was kind of my point. Speculating and treating somebody different because we assume they may or may not have difficulties is wrong in my opinion. As far as I'm concerned he's just a football fan and should be treated the same as everyone else until such a point where he actually requests special treatment for whatever reason.
Well I think that you are right Archey in that the largely silent majority on here will reckon that the troupe of trolls and the bullies deserve each other. One troupe leads the officious bystander to question whether they should be allowed free speech because they tend to abuse it. The other troupe leads the man on the Clapham omnibus to conclude that they have no tolerance for free speech at all Thank the Lord that there are still reasonable men like me around! However, there is an ignore button, and it works well. That's all we really need to know.
I posted this a bit ago on another thread where HT was in the mddle of it. "Having thought about this I think we should all tread cautiously with him - he's obviously incapable of empathising - Hecky made a throw away comment about no phone and HT can't let that go - he's taken it so literally that it's clouded his judgement. I'm sure smarter people than me will be able to diagnose, but in my experience people who are like that cannot be reasoned with - and it's not totally their fault, they just don't have the emotional intelligence to read situations and understand 'the other side' to an argument or an alternative point of view, even if they continue to disagree with it. I genuinely worry with some of the more personal jibes made at him (despite those he's made in the past towards BFC staff/players he didn't like) that he'll take them to heart and then we're into the realms of something more serious. For that reason I'm not engaging with him anymore as I worry about the consequences for HT's physical and mental well being when it gets feisty on here. It's that or he's just one of those that won't ever admit to being wrong/misreading something, but I'm taking the safety first option." Nothing I've read since has persuaded me any differently.
Ok so the person calling your lass a slag. He's not got difficulties either. He's just a dick. Are you a bully for retaliating when he deliberately winds you up?
You've all fallen for it again boys and girls . I reckon he gets that excited when he gets to 100 replies he throws one over t'thumb .
