Fifes Elite Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 5 minutes ago, Buffy said: He is getting to state his opinion FE. His post remains intact, and he’s been a regular poster long enough to know how it works. For the majority of his posts regarding pars history people have hung on to every word as his memory is incredible. To then upend that with an open attack on our Chairman as well as the childish wording of his rant ~ probably won’t bother him in the long run - but other posters have every right to call him out on it. His posts on other topics are an irrelevance. If you want to defend posts that call him a bellend for having a different opinion then fair enough each to their own. Perhaps I will start to do the same with posters I disagree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should say, I haven't read the responses to him, just his post. By a pasting I thought you meant his view was being strongly criticised. If people are just hurling abuse at him, then, no, that's not ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I have no sympathy for people who still use .net. That website was nearly the death of the club. I will never forgive that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 "If you want to defend posts that call him a bellend for having a different opinion then fair enough each to their own" If he's been called that, it's a bit strong. He has however, called Ross McArthur a "sweetie wife", whilst backing this up by giving us his pretty unique take on what the term means. He's also stated that this consortium were shown the door by 9 other clubs they wanted to invest in, which there doesn't seem to be evidence for. In short, he's been attacked for his provocative language and inaccuracies - not his differing opinion. Plenty of folk, myself included, have reacted fairly cautiously to developments and have not been verbally attacked for it. A football forum isn't the right place for anyone who wants to through out incendiary statements but doesn't want equal ferocity in reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote I give calls out abuse which I have criticised. Everything else you mention is a tangent and I CBA critiquing every post to say if they are acceptable or not (I can't even remember your post).

DA-go Par Adonis Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 We'll agree to differ. He made something up and was provocative about a guy whose done a lot for the club. Someone called him a minorly bad word in response. I don't think think it was massively disproportionate. I certainly couldn't get worked up about it on someone else's behalf.

Buffy Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 In no way did I defend anyone calling him names, but of course you knew that. You’re getting your knickers in a twist about ONE childish remark from a .net poster who wrote “you really are a prize 🔔🔚“. You said “Perhaps I will start to do the same with posters I disagree with.“ If you are the type of person who wants to disagree with others’ opinions by doing just that, go ahead FE, DA-Go nails it above (ty).

DA-go Par Adonis Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Your choice of language is up to you. I don't think the moderators on here are up for it though. It's not part of the ethos. Re Ross, I think people are simply defending the record and judgement of a seemingly decent man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superally Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Folk are allowed different opinions here and we welcome different opinions as it makes good informed debate.

DA-go Par Adonis Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I suspect he's made it up, based on him hearing what he wants to hear. I'll evidence that by paraphrasing from the man himself who freely admits he knows nothing about the group. I'm pretty good at avoiding the use of any slurs beginning with the letter 'b'.

Fifes Elite Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Thanks for that nugget of info. Moving back to the topic, some people on this thread seemed to be suspicious of the whole thing yesterday but appear more appeased after the video. What info in the video gave you more comfort?
