See we lost ANOTHER long term respected member You got to wonder why You and I and many others know why and who can blame them when the mods ignore the vitriol that at least one of their own is posting. It was very unlike Tilly and the poster did always join in on threads about depression, maybe , if someone knows this poster please look in on them. We are under huge strain and I would like to think there are many who are much nicer than their online persona i’d certainly pop in if I knew them |

I've been in touch with Scooby over work matters up until I changed jobs in March. As far as I am aware he has just decided to leave posting for the time being, although we tend not to discuss the forum and he's not said anything to me. |

As someone myself who also has a difference of opinion to the pro JB brigade, I can only agree fully to Roverdrive's comment above regarding attempts of being bullied into submission as that is how it feels to me. I'm sure this comment of mine will be disliked by some of them! So I can only strongly disagree with you telling Roverdrive that he is the "f*cking bully". He is just refusing to stand down to those who treat him like sh** on a daily basis. Why can't people respectfully debate without the name calling etc. So what if people have a difference of opinion. Roverdrive is 1st of all a gashead. 2nd a member of this forum and has the right to express his opinion like anyone else. And then 3rd he is a moderator. A moderator who has been accused of things (like banning or editing threads which proves to be untrue) because he is disliked for expressing his opinion and won't back down for it. So no, Roverdrive is not abusing his position. He just has a different of opinion on certain matters and refuses to be bullied out of that opinion and has my respect for that and I hope he stays his the position of being a mod. Really? I think you see what you want to see. I don't doubt that Roverdrive is a genuine and passionate Gashead but if he is to remain as a moderator then he needs to moderate his own posts and not enflame an already difficult situation. A quick scan over his posts shows: Over the last 5 days he has posted, admittedly by my definitions: 9 posts which are critical of JB (fair enough) but 14 posts which are potentially slanderous towards JB, worryingly 19 posts which are aggressive/unpleasant towards other posters! 14 posts which are aggressive/unpleasant towards the club 8 other posts which are neutral or relate to football For example, forum members have been referred to as filth and not having any balls. Joey B is a vile human and total and utter scum. Whether you or I agree on the above or not, this is not befitting of a moderator. What has being critical of Barton got to do with being a moderator? Why because Joey Barton is our manager is it suddenly different from Coughlan or Clarke? Why is he so special that he must not be criticised? |

Like you sir, I too am fascinated by the faux outrage expressed by some because a member posts a very strong opinion about Barton. As you say, that he is a moderator is not relevant. |

Members delete their accounts all the time for various reasons and most usually rejoin. Tillly will have her own reasons, maybe she just needs a break, but I’m sure she’ll be back.

I don’t think it’s the criticism that some are at odds with , I think it’s his means of expressing his opinion that sometimes come acrosss as ‘yobbish ‘ which maybe I’m delusional ) I wouldn’t expect from a moderator .

What also gets me is that if you say let the legal system take its course, innocent until proven guilty, you are branded delusional and a pro Barton(ist). |

If you re-read my post you will see I have stated that being critical of JB is fair enough (9 posts). It's the 47 posts which are aggressive and/or unpleasant towards posters, the club and JB which are inappropriate. |

Socrates, top man but I think he usually has a summer holiday anyway from this place. With all the crap this year, perhaps even more so. Sure or hope he’ll be back when we start playing football. He’s got more sense than the rest of us! 😉 UTG! |

How can they be aggressive towards Barton who isn't a member of the forum? I genuinely don't understand what you mean by that. It really seems like you're trying to make something out of nothing because of a personal dislike. |

I have no personal dislike of Roverdrive. |
