Never my intention.
Of course you will, and rightly so. But defending your club and laying into another are two very different things, wouldn't you say?
Ultimately, do you define yourself as a Man City fan by what Man City do, or what Spurs don't?
well i've never signed up for a spurs or any other teams forum, and neither would you had you lost today.
does this help?
I only signed up today because I've seen so many hate-filled threads on BlueMoon relating to Spurs that I felt that someone had to speak up for my club.
As for signing up for other forums, I'm signed up to a Man U (redcafe), Liverpool (RAWK), Everton (ToffeeTalk), and Villa forum.
I like football. I like talking about football. I started signing up to football forums years ago. I've avoided BlueMoon because of the nastiness demonstrated towards Spurs. But then I had enough. I love my club as much as you love yours. Woudn't you want to defend yours?
But again we come down to the vital difference. I'm not attacking your club. When I'm on another club forum, I conduct myself with a lot of respect and ensure that I don't attack the club. And I would defy you to find a single comment that denigrates Man City.
My posts here have all been civilised - I haven't sworn, nor have I abused any other posters. All I've done is fight my club's corner. Can you say the same of every other poster.
If anyone were to suggest that because it's a Man City forum, you have rights I don't is ludicrous. If a Man City fan wants to criticise or analyse Spurs, by all means. That's their right, both on BlueMoon or off it. But abuse is something else.
DO you know what I've experienced in all the other forums? Mutual respect. Banter, of course. There's friendly digs and tongue-in-cheek comments.
On BlueMoon, it's nasty, it's vicious, it's
angry. As if Spurs have committed some crime against Man City. So I registered to defend my club. Is that an unreasonable thing to do?
