Be Bigger Than Bullying

There's a few on here who seem to enjoy the fight and are quite disparaging to others when they don't follow the consensus of opinion. The same names seem to high five each others posts and take turns at belittling other posters. Theres room for plenty of opinions without the vitriol
 
I don’t know if I have been reading the wrong threads but I haven’t seen an ounce of bullying on this board. There is disagreements and name calling at times back and forth but never seen bullying. There is a poster who claims to be bullied yet posts false information on a daily basis so is rightly pulled up on it as it is false news and decent posters who maybe don’t follow football too much like @Erimus74 get hung up on it and believe every word where as I can smell the bull**** straight away. It’s a decent board and I enjoy coming on here but I can’t stand people who make things up. It’s pointless trolling.

Erimus74 knows more about football and the Boro in particular than the rest of us put together. He claims to be only sixty and says that he gets all his info from his scrapbooks but we all know the truth. The man is well over a hundred years old and all of those facts about games from 1926 that he posts are from memory because he WAS actually there.

How posts false news? There is definitely attempts at bullying on here. I have a group of people who’ll entirely ignore whatever I’m saying and just reply to me with personal comments. When one does it there’s a blood in the water feel and others then pile in. It’s nasty and pretty much the definition of bullying

Sorry I didn’t mean it like that I mean he even admits he doesn’t follow current football to much so doesn’t have the best knowledge on players etc so is inclined to believe posts about rumours etc when it is clearly just made up from said posters head. Stuff like that is irritating and in my opinion not fair on true fans like Erimus and other in the same boat as him

If you read them ‘ITK’ know threads you will know. And I’m sorry to hear that, like I say I don’t read many political threads and I know you are a big contributer to them threads so I may of missed that
 
I have noted with alarm the amount of people quickly wading in to have a pop at other posters. Just banter.. They dish it out therefore they can take it. etc.
Seriously. Stop and think before you make a post picking out an individual poster.
You might say it works both ways etc but am asking people to think and then be considerate and considered in your posting.
Some people do seems to be aggressive on here recently which is very sad really. Also some people did it to me for months and not ONCE they accepted that they’re wrong with their false accusations against me.

Anyway I hope some people here wake up and think twice as harder (unlikely though)

Ah sorry I don’t read those threads. Fair enough
 
Do the admins ever look at accounts to see how many people are ignoring them? It would be a simple way of getting rid of some of less welcome posters by a consensus. Say when 20 people are ignoring an account that they are warned, when it hits 50 the account is deleted? Something like that perhaps?

I'm always deeply suspicious when a "new member" starts posting on a politics thread it is account that was created a year or more ago and not used till now to go politicking. They often seem to have knowledge of and grudges held against long term posters or (and this is a dead giveaway) "The Clique"...
That is an idea I had not thought of.

Block21, I would agree with that, I'm not to interested in players from abraod or the PL, even international football, as I mentioned earlier when talking to my son about the England squad, there were 7 players I just didnt have a clue who they were & when he mentioned em although I'd heard there names before, I couldnt name the clubs they played for

Yeah exactly. You have a great historical knowledge onthe boro and in no way did I mean that as offensive I just mean I have seen you at times get caught up in these ‘ITK’ threads and I don’t like it so call them up on and then I got labelled a bully of a certain Boro Legend. Absolute load of ****

When we've been linked with certain players I've sounded out yourself about a player in question, I probably should get more involved in present players above the championship, but it is what it is
 
It's not only Erimus , I said this before I can name the Boro team promoted in 1967, the Leeds team that won the 1st Division, the ManU team that won the European Cup in 68, I could not name Boros team last season

:) cheers bumface but I dont think you are 100% correct on that my friend, maybe as good as most on the mid 70's, certainly 1973-74, there are a lot of knowledgable Boro fans on here, before the PL started, who would know more about the Boro than me if we're honest

Nothing wrong with that, it’s you’re choice I imagine you have a busy life and plenty of other hobbies were all different I’m just a football freak who loves it to its bones. My point was more that I don’t think it’s right people are allowed to make stuff up but then get all precious when myself and 1 or 2 others pull them up on it as we know it’s just false made up information.

Don't spoil it Erimus. People were believing me about you being a centenarian. Don't bring reality in to things. That's just boring and tedious.
 
The only bullying I’ve seen is the harassment of Smalltown, which is utterly abhorrent in so many ways. It goes on on another site as well with Rob and other posters being abused. Those responsible are the detritus of society, in particular those who post from behind the mask of anonymity yet freely use the details of those they are abusing - the majority of those 20 or so cowards are now in their far right echo chamber, hopefully they’ll stay there and if any end up back here they can be weeded out.
