I was just wondering as we are all Burnley supporters on here Garlick, if you came on this Forum for conversation and debate with posters who have different opinions than yourself, to share each others knowledge and differences and above all to have banter(fun).

Posters on here put down their thoughts and hopes, and others have the right to challenge them, but in a thoughtful and respectful manner, myself and a few others have noticed some disrespect bordering on aggression and abruptness in your posts, plus being like a dog with a bone in not letting things rest and agreeing to disagree, all of which makes some regulars on here reluctant to post as they usually would.

As you may know this Forum used to be the busiest site on FootyMad, and it could have been busier but it was run by the dictator Tony Scholes who with his inner circle would insult, belittle, ridicule, edit posts and ban people for any slightest abuse that came back in retaliation towards him or his clique, I'm happy to say those days are long gone and this board is all the better for it.

At the moment this message board is nowhere near as busy, but we pride ourselves on freedom of speech for all as long as its healthy and in good spirits with a give and take attitude, and we do welcome new posters who contribute to the Forum whether they agree or disagree with topics/subjects, but also show some respect to others and regular members, just like anyone would who visits someone's home and wants to return, they would be more considerate with their replies if they valued their own presence and wanted to belong and continue with healthy positive discussions, I do hope the latter part of this paragraph is why you are here Garlick.

You know him well enough Alfie, just think back. You might also ask him, besides who he has posted as previously, just how many forums he's been banned off now.

Garlic, If you cannot read, digest and understand my OP without coming back with complete drivel, then its probably best you not bothering to post again.

But just to make sure you understand because you seem not to grasp the basic stuff in my post:

For you to surmise that my post was/is a threat of banning you if you did not toe the "party line" is a bit premature, juvenile and lame as a duck's backside, there is no party line here, asking you to be more civil and polite is not telling you to toe anything.

"Freedom of Speech, my arse" You have not had any posts removed or edited, Again you have just been asked why you are here and if you value your own input along with other boards members, because some of your posts are less than appealing to me and others which could suggest otherwise, also as said in the OP you would not have been given the benefit of this thread to which you have taken umbridge, which seems strange and as far as I'm concerned could be seen as the act of a troll, but I'll leave that for others to decide.

As for your "Negative Echo Chamber" and "I reckon most of you would only enjoy it if you're proved right and we're relegated" statements, poor as those statements are, its a message board for different views, something you apparently still don't understand what a message board is for.

In short, Message boards are for debate, discussion's, different views and fun, regardless of anyone having different opinions with anyone else, plus posters are supposed to add life to a Forum and contribute with some value, I have not seen much real value in your contributions Garlick, in fact myself and others have noticed a similarity of an old poster on the Longside Forum a while ago who sucked the life out of that Forum and deterred other posters from posting, whether or not you are the same person is irrelevant as we don't want or need any of that here.

I think I have given you a fair crack of the whip, unfortunately you have chosen to retort in a similar way in which you used to post.

Sorry to go on about it for so long, but I like to make myself understood to those who apply spin to my comments or find obvious sentences a bit difficult to comprehend.

His opinions are welcome and valid, but like Alto says he is new to the forum and just needs to wind his neck in a tad. We must be doing something right on here because I can't remember the last time anyone was yellow or red carded?

How's the tarmacking going Alf? Which part of the UK is currently under threat from Bodgit and Scarper?

Well, I must have missed the posts that have offended you.

Garlick tends to be on the same page as me on most things - and I will certainly continue to speak my views.

Garlick, you can be my mate

Strange post that 59, if anyone has suggested that you, Garlick or anyone else will not be allowed to speak their views I must have missed it, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks 59/60, appreciate the support.

That's exactly what Alto is suggesting in his OP, it's basically a threat of a banning if I don't toe the party line.

Freedom of speech, my arse.

No need to ban me though, I won't bother posting again and will leave you lot to your negative echo chamber where fact-based discussion seems to be frowned upon.

I'd say that I hope you all enjoy the season, but I reckon most of you would only enjoy it if you're proved right and we're relegated

I understand your feelings Garlickand I'm on your side. If i were you I'd just continue as normal and ignore the thought police on here.

Well done lads.
