Some unpleasant posting on here of late

Stockport County did exactly the same as Boro, converted an area of car park into a fan zone - bars, food places, and a stage bit where players, ex players come out and can have a bit of craic with fans. And it's covered, does make a difference when it's raining.

Service much better at Boro though 👊💥
 
Just cover part of it?

People can still spill out to the sides / back if it’s sunny.

Or just cover it October to March or something

He actually said it’s very anti houchen, is that whining?

And you were one of the 3 but I clearly quoted the poster who told him to leave

So one poster 'told him to leave' (I haven't read back and seen who)- that constitutes a 'pile on' to try and make him leave?
I like Merlin as a poster - and am not bothered in the slightest that he's non-Labour
My only comment is that he says he is not interested in politics, when he clearly is

Just because three people disagree with someone that doesn't constitute a pile-on.

For the record I disagree with him too. His post isn't even self-consitent. He doesn't like the board because it's too left-wing but he expects us to believe he's disillusioned with Labour when it's the left-wing that have the most problems with Labour, currently. It makes zero sense.

It wasn’t Merlin and I said the next 3 posts after were all aimed at him, in which one basically told him to leave.

My point being people were posting about pile ons, and I was referencing that as a reason why people think that they occur whilst others don’t see it at all,

If you're including me in this (I was the third one to comment). That is very much a lie. I actually invited him to debate. He whined about the massively curropt Ben Houchen getting a bad deal on here. If he thinks this is unfair then he’s more than welcome to explain why.

There's a lot of Tories that get upset after spilling their far right sympathies Thing is some Tory political posters can put their point across without being far right and abusive and argue the points raised and handle the disagreement. Others just try to wind people up, there is a far right option on other forums.
With some its very hypocritical( we can all be at times) or forty faced, but some when confronted with the very thing they themselves endorse for a long time on here find it hard to deal with.
Another thing is how can you embrace people with far right views and claim to be a good guy?

I think Rob and BL and 99% of the posters do well make sure forum has dignity.
Some of the far right hateful stuff needs nipping in the bud, which generally happens on here.
One thing is the disappointment of some you thought were spot on seem not to be.

I think the comments people make about pile ons, this is what they mean.

The next 3 posts after his are all quoting him and your telling him to go to another board, purely because he says what he thinks.

If you tell everyone who doesn’t think same as you to get off the board, then their won’t be any other opinion or debate
If he thinks labour are gonna be worse, then that’s his opinion, why am should he have to leave the board because of it?

It's fine. He's a big fan of freedom of speech so what's the problem? 😉

I also didn't tell him to leave the board. I told him if he wanted to try and convince people of his absolute whopper that Labour would be "much worse" than the tories he might want to try elsewhere.

Hates the tories but thinks labour would be much worse? I don't buy it for a second.

If it was his genuine viewpoint then you might have a point but it's too ridiculous. He's either trolling or a shill.

(or doing parody, in which case well played).

not interested in going down a rabbit hole of whatever that post is above

Come on, I was quite clear. Just for your understanding, look who is complaining about it being unpleasant. All bar one are Tory shills. One you grasp this, it goes some way to explaining the ire

I suppose it depends what is classed as 'far right'.
It seems somebody simply voting tory can be classed as far right, which obviously might not be the case. The same could be said about labour.
Voting Labour doesn't mean you are far left.
It was once posted on here that hopefully all the Tory voters have left the board with their tails between their legs. It got plenty of likes so wasn't just one person thinking it.
Fair enough if that is the target, a tory-free board. But don't then pretend all views are welcome. Anyway, isn’t it better to talk and discuss?
Then there is the ever popular tory shill line. If anyone defends anything at all linked to the tories they are apparently tory shills.

I think it is just an extension of something that annoys me about politics in general. And that is one side constantly criticising the other.
In the House of Commons you never hear one leader praising another or even saying 'actually, that is a good idea'. There is never any common ground or consensus.

To be honest I think that's what I said Will. I've nothing against a centre thinking Tory and never have. It just seems to me when the one of their MPs start spouting malevolent stuff, it does get a some opposition.

I had a break from here for over a year and now if I ever feel I'm going to get mouthy, I put them on ignore for a little while, saves me and them without falling out.

It might not be as clear cut as that.
They might be dead against a lot of the current tory actions but still see them as a more viable option in government than labour. I don't know why that would be but that is their opinion and their choice.
But in any case, even the biggest "fan of the current tory regime" should be welcome on here. As long as they follow the board rules (as is the case for all posters).
 
This thread has descended into petty bickering, which is a shame, and as more often than not it’s arose over politics, and for that reason I’m out 👋

That#s all well and good, but they can be expected to get abuse if they defend a regime that literally abuses us. It's the thing about free speech, you're not free form the consequences of your speech. Happy for a Tory to come on here and debate issues of the day. Seems though that currently all they have is snide comments, defleciton or lies. Which tells you something about the peopel they admire

Case in point: A Tory defneder has come on here. Offered no reason he is defending the Tories, just is. When quesitoned he first uses the "not into politics" line. Before going on to talk a lot more about politics (albeit without a single fact or justification as to why he defends the Tories). And now, still without justifying anyhting, he comaplains about petty bickering and flounces.

Yes you're allowed to have a pro Tory viewpoint. But, given the way they act, I woudl think about what you base that on, and do let us know

OK.
Nice to see you're open to a debate.
And at least you've warned them in advance to expect abuse.
Good luck 👍

I think the majority of posters don't really care who votes for what and all are welcome. But there are a few posters who will very passionately oppose anything smelling of Tory which can sometimes turn threads a bit nasty.
I don't actually think there are many (if any) 'far right' posters on here. A few wind up merchants who know which buttons to press, but that's about it I think.

There's very few far right or left posters who post what they think is probably more accurate as their ideas are normally very stupid and once put in front of other people are taken to pieces.

Most at either end of the spectrum have ideas that are just not very realistic.
