It really would'nt, We know out of yes or no which side would have a majority, in fact I'd be surprised if the yes answer didnt top 95%. However that could equally be argued an indication of some of our paranoia as a genuine reflection of the media coverage we get. for the record if think we do get the shitty end of the stick in the coverage we endure, certainly more than most and without question more than any of our direct rivals. But as I said above we could help ourselves out a bit by being a little less touchy and differentiating between genuine anti city drivel from perceived slights.
Well - I do not think that the percentage wold be as high as you suggest - but let's hypothetically go with it for a moment.
Does that then mean that - on a forum for CITY fans to interact - the views and concerns of the much smaller minority that we can come across as paranoid should prevail and be sufficient to deny the very large majority the space and opportunity to discuss a topic about CITY that they care about?
And @ FS - you asked I think about why I called your approach a crusade/campaign - at least the question was something like that and I cannot be bothered checking as I am off to the pub.
My response would be - as my question was in the earlier post - that you should just reflect yourself on your approach. Take the hypothetical 95 / 5% example of Matt on the views of CITY fans - should that not, to a degree, be reflected in the number of posts rom posters with differing views?
Well I am pretty sure that is not the case - the naysayers post in much higher volumes - it is like some of the politics threads in off-topic where contrary views must be drowned out by volume. You speak about the amount of flak that you get and that a lot of your posts are responses to these - but are you not, through a level of self-indulgence, prompting those responses to you that in turn give you the fuel for your 'passion'.
Anyway - just my opinion and not one I feel exercised enough about to delay me going to the pub.
But I will repeat the first polite question - are you going to keep this up?
I do not suggest there is a problem with you posting in the thread - of course that is absolutely not my business - and not my view as the 'counter-views' should always be welcomed. But If you are going to continue in the relentless volume that you have done to date - I will acquiesce and not bother with the thread as I am wanting to discuss the topic not have these sorts of exchanges.
So - as you clearly seem to be a well intended and fair-minded chap I would suggest/request that you do some self-reflection because you are in fact preventing other CITY fans from partaking in/enjoying this thread - IMHO.
