Every so often on here you get a new poster springing up who can barely spell or string a sentence together, whose contribution is limited to nonsensical profanity and insults. They are usually quickly identified and banned, and it's obvious that they don't have the intelligence to know any better or articulate their thoughts in a proper way.

The thing that disappoints me most is that the posters who seem to have provoked Swale's departure do not fit into that category. They have shown in the past that they have the intelligence and communication skills to express their views in a rational, civilised way, but instead have given in to the base instinct to make abhorrent comments about the club owner, and have then attacked Swale's character because he politely asked them to refrain.

I hope as others have said that it was a heat of the moment thing driven by the desperation of the club's situation at the moment, which would be more understandable, but it's still no excuse. The people concerned need to put things right by withdrawing their comments and personally apologising to Swale, whether he's in a mood to accept it or not. I would say they should ask for the offending comments to be deleted, but without a moderator that's difficult to do!
