a little birdie...Torres et al...

[ST Coleridge]

There would be none of that at city, we dont boo our own players and we certainly aren't racist.

Speak for yourself mate, I can't stand Eskimos ;)

I'm not sure that it was the integrity of the poster or even the validity of their claims that most people took issue with, just the general set-up of the thread. It became a bit of a cult, and perhaps Tolmie got swept along with that (he was posting youtube clips and longitudinal co-ordinates on an hourly basis at times). Even the biggest fan would have to admit that, to an outsider, the whole thing might appear 'a bit mad'.

Still, I hope he comes back - he was a bit too 'sensational' for my liking (and I told him so), but I wouldn't like to think that someone was 'hounded off', as they say.

Is this meant to be an open forum for all City fans to have their say or is it only intended for use by ITK's, ITK supporters or those with a high number of post who believe this gives them them right to slag off all new comers who dare to question anything? Everyone was new at some point!!

nothing whatsoever about being new, its about being polite, being civil etc.

however for anyone new or old read this.

they are easy targets though, most people post in good faith only for some numpty to turn up in the thread and start having a pop, no need, they should go on another topic or something. it breeds trouble and we can do without it.not only that its often unfair criticism being handed out. we are supposed to all want the same goal.

but my guess is if they didnt create such a kerfuffle they would simple fade away, they want attention, they get attention, so yeah you can either ban, or simply pay no heed

I dont get this attention seeking thing..everyone who posts wants people to read their post why else do it?? we are names without faces so to speak on here...attention seeker is a term used by posters who simply dont agree with what's been posted...which is daft...!!

 

[Swiss Tony]

how is this thread still going on? I thought Torres was dead in the water? (the deal not him!!!)

As long as people are nice, you shouldn't have a problem with their opinions, but all these ITK threads turn out the same...

 

[fbloke]

Now thats more like it.

its daft to say it yet again but why can't they just ignore what they dont agree with? why slate the poster? does my head in.

My fifty quid offer for half an hour modding still stands ;-)

The problem will be solved then.


Everyone is banned though!

It's not about one or two occasional comments, it's about continuing inquisitions. Newcomers or anyone, repeatedly asking the same questions to catch people out is hounding & boring beyond belief for eveyone but those with an agenda, especially when many others have asked the same questions many times. This whole forum is for transfer speculation, why can't we be allowed to speculate on it without people continuingly complaining about it?

The ITK protectors are the biggest problem, I agree.

People have a right to post even the most ridiculous or unlikely transfer rumours.
People have a right to respond with their opinion on the validity of these rumours.
People DO NOT have a right to tell people what they should think.

But Mr.De Niro, people get banned, even if they are civil, simply for expressing the opinion that the transfer rumour is bull**** or that in their opinion the ITKer is not ITK.

Which leaves people, such as myself, tending to think that the entire reason that the ITKers are protected in this way is to protect the site traffic.

There is no one side to a slagging match.

ITK posts, ITK doubters post critising saying it's bull, ITK and ITK fans suggest other wise. very quickly 3 pages of tedious dross has formed.

From what I have seen, the doubters are the more aggressive of the 2 groups, with stance, attitude and language.

If you doubt it, fair enough, if you want to question it again, fair enough, however it's the attacking nature of a lot of posts that are the problem.

No one wants to tell anyone what to think. Saying you think something is complete bollocks isn't a problem for anyone to read especially if someone suddenly appears & starts spouting unlikely stuff, it's fair game. Hounding people for passing on info becomes one. It's selfish & will stop the genuine people from posting, indeed has done with some.
