Good Morning


Recommended Posts

After another thread seems to have been hijacked as a bash me thread, I feel it’s time I come on here and defend myself and my reasons for my 7 week self-imposed posting ban. I stopped posting not because of a disagreement but from the constant sniping over and over from a couple of posters. Rather than get into a slanging match I thought it easier to walk away as I had neither the time or inclination to get into a cyber row.

 

The issue with referring to Rooney as ‘Adam’, simply was the straw that broke the camel’s back. To then find that over 6 weeks later the matter is still being discussed on here says more about many of you than it does me. I used to enjoy posting on this site and I do enjoy showing off my knowledge of Latics, but in doing this I have always tried to be respectful. Yes, I can give as good as I get but despite not posting I have read the site intermittently, and my friends have mentioned the thread the other day and now another thread has developed into a bash Prozac thread. I am not a Prima Donna, nor do I have an over inflated ego. Any contribution to this site has always been made in good faith to inform my fellow fan in cases of fans meetings, discussions with club officials or perhaps a detailed match report from a League One backwater.

 

I said previously I feel I have contributed a lot to this site over the years (through my own choice and I do not want praise, or a Blue Peter Badge), I have been a member since pretty much day one and have built up respectful relationships and made some great friendships with some on here and I have gained a lot out of the site over that time period. One or two like having a pop and in the main it goes over my head, However, when the sniping is continual and often for really no good reason it begins to grind an individual down.

 

Those that know me know I have a dry, subtle sense of humour, some of my critics take that as me being serious.

 

Being able to interact any time, any place is one of the modern football fan’s greatest abilities and one that has been one of my favourite pastimes over the last 10 years or so. Somewhere along the line it has become soured, if I have offended people into sniping and having digs at me I apologise. However, I will always have my own opinion of all things OAFC and will continue to give my own take on things in due course.

Thanks For your Nomination as the Greatest Living Latics fan and the 10th Legend Stevie, it was the least I could do seeing as i'm currently 3rd in the poll behind Phil Starbuck and Orpheo Keizersweerd…...

Welcome back. I can't take credit for the 10th legend nomination; that was someone else.

Prozac my advice is to :censored: um, :censored: me, :censored: the world.

 

If you're going to stand up and seek attention - which you do with your posts be it deliberate or otherwise - you're gonna get :censored: thrown at you.

 

Look at the Mods and Admins on here. Or my time when I was at Latics. Or Billy/Tony on the official site now. If you put yourself up there then this community - frankly any community - will reach up and pull you back down.

 

It's just the way of the world. Head down, crack on and don't make a drama out of coming/going and life will be a whole lot easier for you.
