For those that thought it was funny to abuse.....

[sput the wonder pig]

A few months ago, my son whos 12 found bluemoon and without my knowledge joined ( as a number of his friends had done also )... He posted a comment about a Champ manager player as thats what 12 yr olds do, he thought he was doing the right thing.. and the abuse he got was unreal.....i had to PM a number of bluemooners to let them know how i felt and in all fairness they apologised, i also had to ask RIc to remove the threads and remove his membership also ......which i think is a sad state of affairs..... he now posts on another city forum where he does'nt get abused

This site is very funny and very very witty... but i think it goes too far sometimes.


Sput

If it stops any one else getting abuse young or old then it will have been worth it. In hindsight maybe my kids should not have joined last night but it made them feel like big blues just like their dad, the abuse that followed was way over the top from a minority not the majority. My kids are well adjusted well brought up kids who know right from wrong and it won t bother them in the slightest what was said. If something was said that made posters think we were rags then i am sorry but all i can make out of it is what were the real rogue rags and journo's making of it last night , they are already trying to shoot us back down don t give them the bullets to fire with . Thanks to everyone who backed us up ctid

i read the thread last night and it became apparent that it was a kid,simply because he kept repeating the fact that he was, in other words,he was clearly stuck for anything to throw back at them, at least it might make people think twice now, so something good has come of it and as their dad has said the kid will be fine, i hope he comes back, wow if they had this when a lot of us were kids, you would never get us off it

spot on maybe he might chance it again just so proper city fans give him some encouragement and show we are not all like that

There is no excuse for the abuse of the kids full stop


What we need to get around here are the witch hunts for people we dare to have a different viewpoint on any subject. This board used to be full of peaks and troughs of differing opinions, now its in danger of flatlining to a point where everyone has to agree or be shot down, its getting to the point where people are scared to post.
and as for being called a Rag, don't you just think its a rite of passage for new posters?
Yes it has been done to death but so has Hughes out, Hughes in, what pretty colour kit shall we have next season, what's your favourite colour/car/toothpaste/holiday/film/pet/ etc etc..........

Didnt see the the thread or the abuse but as someone asked - Is there an age limit on BM? if not then as someone else pointed out that a separate forum for our younger members might be an idea with a zero tolerance on dodgy abuse - However, im sure there maybe other issues that may make that unworkable.

 

[jimmy grummble]

Maybe a minimum age limit or an iq test.........
