Truth 1: This forum is only active because the members contribute to discussions.
Truth 2: Myself and others accept that some members' posts will not resonate with our own beliefs ... but we get on with it.
Truth 3: Some members are in a perpetual 'personality conflict' .... and it gets fkn boring at times .... but we keep reading, keep posting, keep this site alive ... just ... because ... we love/like it ... even the perpetual spats .... and as tedious as some spats may be, we would not wish any from either side of said 'spats' banned.
Truth 4: No evidence is available regarding the decision to ban Donsdaft. So .... there are two sensible ways to go here ...
.... route 1 .... make it public regarding the reason for his ban ... so we might all know where the landmines lie ... or at least give us a fυckin generic hint ...
or .... apply the same criteria to us remaining members ... and hae a fυckin guid gander at fi yer left wi'!
Perspective statement 1 .... Donsdaft posted some right shiτe myself and prob the majority o' posters disagreed wi ..... but the 'disagreers' had the means tae tell him he wis speakin shiτe ... that's the beauty o' a forum .. and the fkn ugliness as well! but we're aa here cos we want tae be ... we are aa free tae fack aff if we desire/decide.
Perspective statement 2 .... The beauty o' a fitba forum is that it's the only place far ye can voice certain opinions that would be jist WRANG ... wi a fυckin capital 'W' on other forums ..... and yet ... there are still limits ... racism?
fυck off. Overt ***ism? fυck off. Threats of physical injury? (other than fair an' square gos doon the Pitt) .. fυck off.
... As far as I can gauge, bein at least a reader o' this forum, every other 'ism' is either enjoyed as humour, or called out as offensive ... and the result is always sensible ... ie. the thread either thrives .... or dives.
In a nutshell .... we are a diverse bunch o' radges .... but somehow, we do, even at our lowest, fly high enough to look down on the Manky Molloys, the Pikey Joots, the Newborn Huns, etc ...
And in that vein, and against the backdrop I have presented, ..... I ... and I suspect others on this forum ... want to know ..... who banned Donsdaft? Why? .. and in the absence of that knowledge? Why are all of us 'non-donsdafts' still here? for how long? who decides? should we care? and if we all decide that "we are all donsdaft" and refrain from posting ... essentially banning ourselves .... banning your site really ... cos .. no posts? no forum!
Anyway ... to withdraw from the confrontational tone of the latter half of that last paragraph, I humbly request that the decision to ban Donsdaft, that guy who pissed me off more often than he made me laugh, be reconsidered, and better still, overturned for the good of the 'bigger picture' .... even if aforementioned banned person was no more than a speck of fly **** unnoticed on the lower left, unsunlit, aged corner of the dull hued frame around said bigger picture.
We need all sorts here ... otherwise we might as well meet once every six months and let our 'back of the car' nodding dogs set the tone.
