Ashamed?Where did I say I was worried, or worked up Just ashamed of it
Veiled bully tactics? Oh do fuck off. There have been plenty of posts saying that it only appeals to children and simpletons and that anyone with an iota of design knowledge hates it.Don't quite get this "you must have a great life because you can get worked up about this" coming from the same people that get in months long debates (which can sometimes lead to slaps on the wrists from a moderator as they get so heated) about a manager's decision to play a certain way in a match or a specific issue with a player.
Apparently that is different (and much more important) than being unhappy with the official, widely displayed face of the club that will linger over many seasons.
I don't belittle those individuals' passion regarding those more transient matters because I understand why they would be concerned and want to express their thoughts.
It seems to me there is an attempt to brand supporters as either "grateful and supportive" if they like the badge or not "team players" if they dislike it. And there is even an attempt to categories further the supporters that don't like it into "snobs" or "simpletons".
I should probably stop spending my time on the train between holiday stops on here as the more I see this pejorative strategy I do actually get worked up—veiled bully tactics don't belong on this great forum.
Then try reading back more than a couple of pages.I may have not read back more than a couple of pages but I'm struggling to see where anyone is getting worked up other than those who don't like people saying they don't like the leaked badge.
Person A "Looks a bit naff that if I'm honest"
Person B "What??? Calm down saying that...you need to get a life and blah blah blah *rant rant rant*"
Fair enough I was reading the quotes and scratching my head.Then try reading back more than a couple of pages.

You too
...you either completely missed the point of my post, are choosing to ignore it so you can continue to feel empowered in your behaviour, or genuinely don't understand the irony of your posts.Veiled bully tactics? Oh do fuck off. There have been plenty of posts saying that it only appeals to children and simpletons and that anyone with an iota of design knowledge hates it.
Are you just blinded to seeing those posts as they sink your argument of perceived bullying?
You don't like the badge? Great. Moan all you wish, it will do the sum total of fuck all, but if it makes you feel better then who are we to stop you.
