However the forum is here 24/7, 365 days a year, and folks can come and go at their convenience, not that of the broadcasters, and they are equally likely to elect to come and go not just on the basis of convenience, but the level of discourse to be had here,
As I've said in other posts, I'm no saint when it comes to "spats" (As Tich put it), but have come to the conclusion that I can use Gods favourite language, Queens English, without having to include (too many) obscenities, nor gratuitous insults (you know what they are, obviously), and if that has the effect of encouraging more folks to post, that's fine by me.
Real supporters do, and should, "tell it like it is", but what I don't understand is why you interpret that as requiring schoolyard behaviour. Discuss robustly the performance of players, team as a whole, tactics, coaching, state of the pitch at ER, but just because someone differs in their opinion of any or all of those things, why resort to juvenile name calling?
As others on here have said (on this and other threads), the season has been better than any of us could realistically have expected (me for one!), and it's a real delight to hear just about everyone who is paid good money to converse about Premiership football say that the one team they ALL look forward to watching is Leeds, no matter who the opponents are, or whether we win or lose (we don't draw that often). We are the neutrals favourite team (when has that EVER been said about Leeds???). We will not only survive into next season in the PL, we will do it comfortably. So WTF is there to go off one one calling others names?
