As I said in my last post your point is entirely valid, I’m not asking you to stop posting it. All I’m trying to do is explain to you the position of football fans you dismiss as ignorant, dingles, fantasists.
It’s not complex to understand your theories Ken’s position which you consistently put across, it’s an interesting angle and I hope you keep posting it. But you need to be less dismissive of other views on his actions. As Bonce says without emotion football is nothing, the club needs those fans.
Having read ww’s more recently, I don’t see the reaction you get there in any way more positive than it is here. I also haven’t seen any praise for your last 3 years of opinions. It’s a far more active site, so I get why you post there, let’s not dress it up as they have a more enlightened crowd though. It’s just more interesting with more users as we’ve seen here in the past.
I don't know why I'm bothering but never the less...
All football clubs will have an element of ignorant, dingles, fantasists - ours is no different - and you can never get through to them, so why would anyone want to bother?
If you met them at work, be related by marriage or are someone in your knitting circle, you, me and most other rational people would stay clear of them. However out of my sense of duty and fair play to the site I've let them have their say on here and have replied to them when asked or stepped in when their hatred/vitriol/anger goes too far.
I've probably done the site a disservice by being so tolerant of them for too long and lost decent posters because of it.
If I could roll back the clock and start again I would have been significantly less tolerant of them - anyway you can't go back.
I've never had a problem with people being emotional - it's senseless and never ending abuse I take issue with, who wants to come on here and read Ken's a cunt in a thousand times a day - no one does.
Fine if you believe I'm getting nothing from posting on Wanderers Ways, I've seen a great many to begin to understand and accept there is more to how companies run than 'Ken you cunt pay the bills and all the wages NOW!!!', and I like to think I've played a big part in peoples grasp of why we are where we are now.
As per any forum you get the mix of posters from the sublime to the trolls/abusives. I'm certainly targeted by some with longstanding issues with me (I even suspect you may even be one of them) but nothing that I can't take in my stride.
I tend to post almost exclusively on the takeover thread and still consider Nuts to be my 'home' forum.
I just couldn't be arsed anymore posting about the club in Admin and the efforts to buy the club whilst all I was faced with was 'Ken's a cunt' all the time.
It wasn't worth it for me to be bothered with that mindset anymore and decided that I didn't want to be part of their knitting circle on this subject - better I just leave them to it and no doubt dropping their stitches as they go.
