Is this forum toxic? Am I in the wrong place?

[Robert Gravil]

Two of my posts today on the England v Wales topic have attracted some replies/ comments that I find worrying coming from fellow fans. What do you think?

[StocktonRover]

No and yes to the questions in the title.

Cheers

[BillyStubbsTears]

Is it that time of year already?

[Nudga]

Grow some plums and just say "f**k em".

[Chris Black come back]

Are friends electric?

[IDM]

I said on the other thread about how things get twisted when folks disagree with you.. And now you start a thread on the subject????

I suppose you're going to suggest I have had a bad day again??

Rigo, is that you?

The whole internet is toxic. It comes down to degrees of toxicity and this place isn't the worse by any stretch. This place is full of double-denim wearing 50 somethings trying to out-pun each other. Harmless really.

I'm a 30-something double-denim wearer, thank-you please.

[BillyStubbsTears]

And I'm a forty-odd year old, re-adjusting my mankini in outrage at such a slur.

Oi I'm still a way off 30...

Yep, it's a WUM new to a forum that is doing the cliched tactic of starting what is apparently a self-pitying but is actually an attention-seeking thread because he's been rumbled elsewhere on the forum. In a desperate attempt to get the regulars to tell him to piss off so that he can then say that he's been victimised.

Correct. Schoolboy tactics. Go somewhere, act like a tool, get kicked out, scream foul.

Of course now that I've agreed with your opinion I've completed the set. We're a  clique. BINGO!

I don't think he's that new. His style is familiar...

Is this your type of clique Mike? I'm in!

I thought so too. Mick hasn't paid us a visit for a while...

The amount of times I have prepared a post with "go f**k yourself" or equivalent, then deleted it because I don't want to descend to that level...

Rigo, is that you?

Haha, that was my very own thought too.

[silent majority]

Haha, that was my very own thought too.

Don't worry, it's not me.

But I do think this forum is an extension of the Jeremy Kyle stand, where you get a load of clowns gathered together - a lot of whom have massive paranoia problems.

Andy, how big is that broad brush of yours?

[RedJ]

Think he ought to clean the tar off of it...

Probably a similar size to the massive chip on his shoulder.

In that scenario, you're Kyle himself, trying to justify his existence by poking said clowns with a stick to get a reaction.

You're not a paying punter, you openly said you avoid paying the other week.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Okay, examples of some of the daft comments/things on here...

1) The generic 'bashing the owners' - as daft and as business > football as they may be, they're trying to do their best. Yet some folk hate them because they aren't John Ryan (who did a good job, but had plenty of faults).

2) The 'Rumour Mill' forum. Seriously guys? If a player has a good agent (of which there are plenty), he'll be well connected to journalists - it's an effective two-way relationship to have. And every 'proper' manager knows who is tapping up who in football, etc.

3) Comments last week along the lines of 'the Russian government smuggled the hooligans out of France'. Again, seriously? I think the Kremlin have got bigger fish to fry than worrying about 150 Lokomotiv Moscow lunatics running riot in Marseille (and that's not defending what happened by the way).

This isn't forgetting the 'you're not a proper fan' b*llocks that goes on, on this forum. Whether you've been to 1,000, 100 or one match, every single person is just a paying punter at the end of the day.

Bloody hell, you ought to look at the Rovers Facebook page, you'd spontaneously combust.

You know you've turned into a WUM Rigo, right?

[Copps is Magic]

Sometimes I pay. It generally depends on who's playing, where, and who I know there.

Anyway, I'll leave you all to squawk and battle it out amongst yourselves - and decide the answer to the question in the title of this thread.

I aint that interested tbh buddy, just happy to point out glaring contradictions when I see em.

Good luck.
