FAO Frosty ... this forum

Post by Mach_Polish_Blue » Mon Dec 23, 2019 4:33 pm

Yes, it is a look at me post, call it whichever way you want it. This is actually the thread in THE SUPPORT of Derick because the thread in which he was involved has been locked last night.

I haven't been posting much lately however I do read posts every single day. I can see that you Frosty keep locking threads with the higher frequency than before and you claim you have to pay £50 'to have to moderate adult people'. You don't need to moderate adult people as there is only a certain person who causes problems. I had some verbal exchanges with that person last summer, Rossi has had numerous ones, and now Derick has been bullied and insulted on some occasions too.

We as Town fans hold our views and opinions, we're here to share them and there will always be some differences and disagreements. It's not about pleasing each other, it's about voicing opinions. But some can't face the different opinions on here.

Tell us please a bit more about this forum because it's really confusing. Is there a freedom of speech? Are there the equal rules for everyone because it doesn't seem to be the case?

I was thinking about this after the last thread was locked. I don't think it's necessary to keeping locking threads because people have a few digs at each other. It makes the forum even more fun! I mean as long as there are no direct threats or profanity, why not let the arguers argue? Certainly if it gets to a level of profane insults or threats...by all means lock the thread.

I think we all appreciate you Frosty for taking over the forum and paying for it. You shouldn't have to be bothered with baby sitting the forum members as well.

Cheers!

Sorry but I disagree. I love this forum but there are no regular users that I have ever met. Assuming that is true for most of us (I may be wrong here) I don't see this forum as mates having a chat down the pub. By all means disagree and argue your corner but there is never a need to insult anyone. We all have the opportunity to read what we have typed and think before hitting the Submit button. From my own perspective I feel uncomfortable with some of things that have been posted and it discourages me from using the forum (but perhaps not enough 😀).

Number 9. there's a difference between having a disagreement and the one or two who just don't stop looking for a reaction from this site, that's what this thread is really about,
Surely if the owner decides to close a thread its for the good of the site, the alternative is he walks away for less stress,
this site is probably as good as you get, so don't let the few kill it,

Wouldn’t normally post my tuppence worth but I am sick and tired of the childish abuse that has pervaded this site recently, it should stop.

Frosty pays for the site to be up and it’s totally up to him how it is managed, I for one am very grateful he keeps it going, we have zero excuse to complain about how he manages it.

Let’s keep the personal posts out of this and just discuss the team, it’s performance and Paul lambert strange ways of getting us playing or not,,,, as the case may be.

Posts should always be about the football and not about those who post. Posts can be taken out of context and people will always view things differently. Some of the comments in the locked post in my option were personal and there is no place for it.

For the record I am never offended by any personal comments against me, being referred too as Einstein was a complement particularly as it was from someone who has played far more football than me and a has a better understanding of the insight of players. As a current football coach/manager I am always happy to learn off those who know better.

I lock threads a lot less than some previously do Mach.

Fine with opinions no matter how polarising, what I am tired of is the way in which some of these opinions are put across. There is a personal aspect to some posts lately and I am now at the end of my tolerance.

For the record, myself and another Mod have received a number of PM's from other posters all complaining about the same person, so I am at the verge of acting on this.

As for the highlighted bit above, I object to that, if that is your belief I am disappointed. I do my best to be balanced with decisions, listen to others and am generally accussed of not being tough enough on culprits.

As for freedom of speech, have I deleted this thread?

Merry Christmas

Just checked back, unless I am mistaken, except for yesterdays locked thread and one I locked and then unlocked a few hours later a couple of days ago, the last one I locked was August 7th 2019 (over 4 months ago)?

Yep, I am a serial thread locker Mach.

I actually must give Derrick a tiny bit of credit, even if we don’t exactly see eye to eye. A month or so ago I deliberately tried to antagonise him after he irritated me (which I suppose is bound to happen in a forum setting) and he made light of it, shrugged it off and actually gave me a good laugh so respect for that. I think Derrick does go on the wind up some times but I also think he airs his actually football views.

However Mach, as a friend, please do not use Rossi as a defence. Unlike Derick who posts regularly and embraces varying aspects of the forum, Rossi is the stain that re appears during a difficult run with the sole purpose of antagonising.

Thanks for being lenient all in all Frosty. Appreciate the time and expense you put into the forum.

Sticks and stones, as they say. That's twice you have referred to me as a stain on this board, in actual fact everything you have posted to me over the last year or so has had an element of nastiness. That's fine - there is clearly no love lost between us, and on the 2 or 3 occasions we have met I have to say that I have been less than impressed with you. So I will not get into a name calling match if yoiu don't mind - I've been brought up better than that.

But please, if you must post things about me, make sure you at least get your facts straight.

I think Frosty is going all 'woke' on us & trying to make us all diverse & inclusive. Do we have any trans members I wonder? Having read all the rubbish in the press on the subject, although I am white & male I wll identjfy only as Shirley Bassey from now until the New Year.

Freedom of speech is an awkward one in knowing where to draw the line. Perhaps rather than lock a thread the miscreants should be directed to carry on their conversations via PMs.

A merry christmas to all forum members and let's all hope for an upturn in results starting on Boxing Day.

My dad is pretty good at making the effort to meet people and in giving people a chance. Who would have thought him and Derick would get on! I on the other hand have no interest, in fact wasn’t actually aware that we had met. At least I count be accused of giving you mixed signals! To put into perspective how keen I would be to meet you please refer to the below chart:

Things I would do before sharing a beer with Rossi:
1) catch my c*ck in my flies,
2) move to Syria,
3) look like Joseph (John) Merrick,
4) name Garry Glitter the godparents to my children.

Merry Christmas Rossi!

And to all other forum members, have a merry Christmas, a happy healthy new year! Here’s to 2020 brining improved better town results, and from a tractors boys perspective touch wood we also manage to remove that pesky stain.

AndyM, in the nicest possible way, what is MORE pathetic is certain people from the past announcing they were off on a break but still logging on to read. Don’t be one of those. Just keep posting your well informed football posts because they’re valued by everyone.

I wouldn't care about a single thing that has been said if it wasn't just groundhog day, it's the same crap repeated by the same parties. I don't care what you say to each other, just do it in private and leave the rest of us who couldn't give a rats about your petty squabbles out of it. You're clogging up the forum, bringing everyone else down, making unfair work for Frosty and the mods, and stifling discussion by hijacking and closing threads with your childish fueds. Grow up.

Merry Christmas by the way...

If only !

Lucky for me I’m on holiday and left my phone and iPad locked in the safe, having caught up on a few threads and read some of the distasteful and unnecessary comments I think I’ll put them back there until Boxing Day.

Happy Days 😝🤪😜

It's a messageboard forum, there's going to be disputes and disharmony irrespective of each following the same team and it's potential objectives. One or two I personally can't abide but you bite your f**king tongue. Got to remain civilized, or at least understand it's the best prevailing option.

We got a small number here with only a handful of participants at any one time. It's a shame as there should be more involvement but said before maybe it's just as well as it keep things compact and more digestible. Health and well-being comes before animosity and personal issues, you just got to retain the right focus.
