Wow - that all escalated quickly! Having read the initial post again, I can see that it could be read out of context and therefore be interpreted as very negative. I have to say however that i am not sure that is how it was intended (just my view) but nevertheless, its immaterial now as our friend here has been ex-communicated it seems!
So for me, Saturday was a vast inprovement on recent weeks. We look like a team again and have a few new options (ie Rowe and Roberts) to add to what is not an awful set of individuals - even if we have all seen better! We are 5 points adrift in a league where anyone can beat anyone on a given day - all with 30 games left to play. Why would we throw the towel in already? I for one am not that defeatist and I am sure our players and manager are not either! 2 weeks can change the whole complexion completely and we are still a long way from guaranteed relegation in my opinion. Yes, it will be tough and yes, we are in a scrap - but doomed? You must be joking! If we all went into things with that attitude in other aspects of our lives, we would be in a pretty sorry state. Onwards and up for the fight - thats my view and until its mathematically out of our hands (which at worst is still several months away), lets stop moaning and enjoy the '4 place' league we are in! Better that than mid table mediocrity yet again....
Sorry Wilf, with all the ridiculous nonsense going on last night I missed the real guts of your post. Indeed you are right, we are not doomed just yet, believe me when I say that I am probably one of the most positive and upbeat Town fans around, sometimes too much that occasionally I dont see the wood for the trees. I have to say defeat at Reading Saturday will see us Eight points behind a team at the very cusp of the relegation battle, for me that really would see us in the mire, so much so I would see relegation as a virtual cert, Saturday's game in my view is critical.

I have just looked back to Page 629 through to page 620. The amount of names that use to post is quite shocking. Where have all those opinions gone? Its quite sad, it was nice to see Rossi, hallam and Earl Blue as the names I recognized. Maybe people are bit put off saying something that is on there mind just in case they get jumped on.

I think like all forums Derick, (Hibs forums included) they’re all less busy due to FB and other social media outlets. Definitely not because of opinions being jumped on...... maybe some choose to not post because of that, but definitely not the majority. And I am using other forums as an example similar to this one, that’s not an opinion.
It’s all about the tweetin these days!

People who share their views are okay, but there are a tiny minority who don’t do this, some deliberately wind up and that spoils it for those who take it serious.
Mach hates skuse, I’ve never seen him jumped on...
Charnwood has has very negative days BUT he also havs positive ones - doesnt get jumped on.
If someone if deliberately winding up those who use the forum correctly and invest time into it then they need to go. I am a massive culprit for going OTT and getting ‘personal’ to such posts, but only because I want new members to see the forum doesn’t tolerate wind ups (especially in times of pain) and because every time I retaliate that person bites back meaning admin can act. BUT I’m toning it down now, as someone said earlier in this post ignoring him would have been a powerful option and I think that’s probably a better approach moving forward.
I will make an effort to be more tolerant to negative views (even those i think are wind ups), IF those who think they may get harsh treatment just re read there post before sending it, see if it could be perceived as a wind up and not just an opinion....

Marko has hit the nail on the head as to why old posters dont post anymore, I think it is great in recent times that we have a few new and decent posters, Marvin, Johnny, Wilf to name but Three, there are others. If people are so delicate to a bit of confrontation these are not the kind of places to be spending time on.

f*ck off AB, anyone who knows me will tell you I’m probably one of the most positive people on the planet with a glass always half full, I’ve never written a negative post in my life the nearest to which would have been my judgement that Paul Hurst was a totally inappropriate appointment as Town manager which proved to be absolutely correct.
I think you’d struggle to find many Charnwood “very negative days” although you may find an odd day when i’ve deliberately taken an opposite view for the purpose of being argumentative, unfortunately that is one of my weaknesses.

Wonder how PL will approach this one, we need wins but a point will not be a complete disaster. They have scored 6 in their last 2 home games.

Charnwood, either I haven’t worded things well or you have misunderstood. I’m not suggesting you ‘are’ negative, more that you can be when you have reason to be. It wasn’t meant as a dig.

Don’t worry about it Tom, unlike others on here I’m not offended easily and can take criticism as well as dishing it out.

Mr Loves The Sound Of His Own Voice may have been a bit more apt, can't find a former member with that name though.
It's a shame that when things get a bit spiky on here that some members see it as an opportunity to come out and have a pop at others. I don't know what the solution is, unless a debate is split down the middle, then one side of the argument is always going to feel repressed or shouted down. I'd implore those people to stay involved in the forum, make a more bulletproof argument, perhaps not take things too personally, perhaps avoid certain members and realise there are plenty of others that value their input??
I think one reason that the forum is a good place to be is that moaners
aren't well tolerated, every Town supporter feels pain and sees problems within the club, but we don't choose to come on here and incessantly state the obvious. Not one of us is happy that the club find themselves propping up the table, but the place is still a pleasant place to be, that is because there isn't 100 threads moaning and whining, in fact there are none other than Mr Reality's. Before he had even posted anything his name shouts "You're all deluded, you know nothing, I know everything, gather round and listen to me moan". Now I'm moaning! Group hug number9, GROUP HUG!
