New forum for those who want to vent negatives

Post by stui magpie »

OK, The people who staunchly believe Bucks can't coach and needs to go are entitled to their opinion, as are those who think the opposite and all shades in between.

However, for mine General Discussion is more and more bogged down and clogged with the ongoing shit fight between the differing views.

Can we create a new forum under GD for those of a negative persuasion to go and vent their spleen, bag the coach, bag the administration, bag whatever they want with other like minded souls.

They can enjoy each others company there and if anyone chooses to go in and argue with them, they get what they deserve for poking the bear.

That doesn't mean that only positive comments are allowed in GD, there has to be room for debate, disagreement and criticism, but when every thread in GD turns into a shit fight about the coach, something has to give. I'm sure the mods could collectively come up with a workable framework and rules that would allow a balanced approach.

Bucks is going to coach in 2017 and after that depends on whether we maker finals or not and I for one don't want another 12 months of this constant carping.

Perhaps we just have a For and Against Buckley Coaching board and they can all piss off there. Both sides of the debate is getting annoying as hell, every other thread is getting turned into a shit fight on whether he can or cannot coach.

Its easy to skip past the threads but when it's flowing into other threads its getting beyond a joke.

You're both assuming they'd stay on that board.

No chance.

Interesting the mods deleted my post in the Swanny thread replying to 35. I wasn't abusive, I wasn't name calling, I wasn't causing trouble. I just asked for respect.

My post was deleted. His was not. Interesting......

OK. I replied exactly the same. Deleted again. THEN his was.

Not damn good enough! I'm punished 3 times, with NO abuse, before he is once. WTF??? No wonder people get disillusioned with this board.

I agree wholeheartedly with Stui on this one. Let the glass half empties have their own Bash Bucks and Ed thread, ongoing, to vent their spleens, and bile, and I for one will never venture there, and argue with them again. Good idea, well worth considering !
