Stoke City Post Match Thoughts

[CTMilller]

Some interesting developments on here while I've been sleeping.

First and foremost if people read what lead up to MillerTime's post they will see that gru berates people for commenting on games from what they see 'on a screen' and then goes and comments on something he's seen on a screen. Typically illogical logic from the king of it. Gru also says he doesn't get personal but of late he has been on a tirade around how he goes to games and so his opinions are valid whilst opinions of those of us who don't, aren't and he has specifically targeted ex-pats. Not abusive but personal, definitely. With regards HensonsPRman's call for a vote then I think we did that before and quite rightly it was called out for bullying. I get that Gru is the most frustrating poster by a country mile and just wish he would understand how he's impacting this board and change his ways but either he can't or he won't.

As for moving one Wordle thread to it's own board, unfortunately the moderators don't have the ability to create new boards so it's staying

Could we not move the Wordl thread to the barely used Internet Millers page? A decision was made a while back that long, off-topic (usually political) threads would be moved there. Although Wordl isn't political it's certainly long running and of interest to a small group of enthusiasts.

Since I'm one of them, I'm certainly not advocating we do this with any intent to be dismissive. The audience that want to talk about Wordl really wouldn't have any difficulty finding it there. I doubt there are any potential new joiners now who we would miss the opportunity of attracting by not being in the shop-window of the main conversation page.

While I'm here, I have no problem with Gru but regret that we are losing some good long term posters (Henson, Pocket and Grist to name three) who have become disenchanted with the atmosphere people like him create.

As to the game, it was summed up well by Zippie's amusing Facebook post showing the game on his TV screen at home in Wombwell with the camera panning slowly round to his, wife, step-daughter and dog all fast asleep across the room!
