Not entirely true. I hadn’t done the jonjo Shelvey and one other gag but he became very abusive to me. There was no need to ‘retaliate first’ we’d crossed swords many times without any abuseFrom me. If it’s banter with a mate, or there is a sense of humour in it, that’s fine, but he was just lashing aggressively because he didn’t agree with my take.The end I think he was to the point of getting his retaliation in first, saved him the bother later on in any post/comment he made.
If he had become abusive, that was out of order. Never came across as that type of poster, but we all have our breaking points.Not entirely true.

He simply became frustrated because I wouldn’t bend to his will over a particular 6 month period and lashed out in frustration. I think the catalyst was that he had stated repeatedly that gibson had nothing to sue Derby for and was acting rediculous in doing so. He was very vocal and very absolute on this. Absolutism is a way of backing yourself into a corner eventually.
We all have different views and should be adult enough to express and discuss them without resorting to that kind of behaviour.
We all have good days and bad days where we let ourselves down, a man will without hesitation or excuse apologise when he calms down, not double down on calling people a d/ckhead purely for their views on a footballer.
Anyway, he’s a Boro fan, so good luck to him whatever he is doing.
Seriously? I can't remember so many threads ending in arguments, naughty steps, banishments and strops before.I don’t think we have anything like the chew on here now
Member joined in January 2023 but remembers Adi and his personalityYes I’m not sure where this best poster talk is coming from - petulant springs to mind.
I particularly liked the 8 dart finish thread. When people tried to explain that 9 darts was the fewest amount of darts you could finish with, he’d reply that with modern equipment, diet plans, and training methods it would only be a matter of time before the 9 dart finish is beaten.
When posters tried again to explain why it couldn’t be beaten, he’d reply that they said the same thing about the 4-minute mile and the 10-second 100 metres sprint.
