It looks like your unswerving loyalty to laddo has backfired.i told you it was his passive aggressive style and his arguing was killing the board but you continued to ignore his behaviour.
Now it seems his mission rather than save the board was to kill it.
Check his post where he admits he ignores your advise to go to hand bags and his refusal is born by his own enjoyment of arguments with others.
You all bought into his mission but his mission was one of selfishness.
Wearing his so called badge of integrity that was his mission (which he never revealed what it was) he started most of the arguments,was involved in 99% of them and that was more than any other poster.
If anyone ever dared to question his views his get out of jail card was to revert to his mission,remember the so called mission to end arguments and bickering aims that were revealed.
Because he seemed mild mannered through his passive aggressive approach you focused on the wrong people.
You let him goad others because you thought he was on a mission of integrity and salvation maybe your own mission but certainly not saddos.As revealed by himself he liked arguing trying to make others look foolish,he goaded to engage in arguments in which he feels he was superior to all and sundries.
Why was his so called mission ever needed whilst you were doing a good job monitoring the filthy mouthed oafs like me but letting a wolf in sheepskin clothing into the Penn.
May I suggest that if you are going that the last and best deed you can do for the good of the board is rid it of saddo.
He ignores your advise to go to handbags.He in the main takes all the threads off topic.He is the main contributor to arguments.There is no need of his mission in which he hides behind and in my mind belittles the job you do or did.
The guy is cancerous and your only fault is buying into his mission because you believed it to be the same cause as yours.It's not,read his post again and again where he says he enjoys arguing and please let it sink in.
Some people might have fiery opinions and industrial language but dont let that take away your focus from the main agitator on the board just because he wraps his arguments up in pretty paper and spays it with perfume so it looks better and smells nicer.
He goes out of his way to argue because he enjoys it please swales let that sink in and then moderate accordingly if you still are.

Are you 6 ? What a pathetic rant

Sorry should have added thanks to Swale. I don't know how you have coped with the relentless childishness the last month or so

You have done your very best to kill it also.

Take your rose tinted specs off just for one minute.
He has admitted that he enjoyed the arguing. Why do you think he started them? It was for his own enjoyment.
Or do you believe it was because for the good of the board because he said that's what it was for honestly just take a minute to digest the info.

Sometimes the truth hurts.who has caused the most arguments on this board?
If you say me as a cheap shot then have a rethink.

I'd be gutted if it shut down, our lass just said to me you better take over as moderator as she can't handle more Notts talk than she already gets. I'd do it but if everyone started he said this and they said that and you don't listen when they do this but do when I do that there'd be a flurry of cards. I'd rather do it though than it shut down.

Yode do a good job crazy.
Btw, can I have my card(s) in advance please!

Most of us don't give a monkies about counting who is the most childish. But you're in a playoff place for sure. And he started it ! Really my kids learnt about that one years ago.

Thanks for your efforts Swale.
I used to love this board but now only look once or twice a week, mostly to see people’s match ratings.
It’s honestly pathetic and there’s 5-6 posters in here should be embarrassed. Of course they won’t because they all believe someone else started it, which is pathetic in itself.
I went through a stage of arguing with Pedro but then remembered I’m a 40 year old bloke arguing on a message board. What a loser!

Yes our argument was wether or not ardleys system was an attacking philosophy or not.
I think on reflection that IB has come and put that point to bed.However as a grown up I'm surprised that you could even take offence over such a disagreement.

I'd just like to thank you for the many years that you have served as our moderator, Swale. I can imagine at times it's a thankless task.

It really amazes me that you hold yourself above arguing,when you are on here arguing,please dont become a hypocrite
I made a point to swales which I believe to be true.
If you haven't read saddos statement go read it and see for yourself it makes interesting reading.

I am saddened to learn that you may be leaving this board Swale. As an exile, I rely on the many and varied posts to glean information and feelings regarding Notts County. I do hope that the board continues, but also hope that your action may result in a more balanced and less aggressive approach from posters.
I wish you well for the future, and thank you for your efforts in controlling Notts County Mad, a thankless task, but one in my opinion you discharged extremely well.

Ha ha only if you deserved one mate which I'm sure we could all avoid 😀
