All about context and familiarity my wordy friend. Not a regular poster myself but been here long enough to know that calling each other names is taken in the correct way when used in the correct manner. You've steamed back in like the idiot that was barred by the previous landlord of a pub 10 years ago for constantly putting folk off going in, and now wants to tell everyone what he thinks on the first day of the new tenants.

Ive probably only got involved cos I started drinking too early waiting for the game, but im teetering on the ignore button for the first time in about 10 years on here. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thanks for your feed back and it is usually all about context on social media but you haven't exactly nailed.

I wasn't banned because I was unpopular - which I was, simply because I had enough knowledge to know that a Supporters Trust had not the financials to run a multi-million company and that Anderson was under no legal requirement to put his own personal fortune into a company limited by shares, that he owned.- I was banned because I called out threats of physical violence to an old man from someone well liked on here.

You only have to look back as to what my last post was on here at the time to see what was deemed to warrant the ban.

Similarly I returned on here NOT to settle any old scores, how many times did I post that or similar (once again my posts are there if anyone wants to check) but nevertheless I was met with welcoming committee carrying grudges dating back years.

M Truscott (and others) took my little 'teasing' completely out of context, if anyone wanted to re-read what I original wrote, looking at it as a piece of harmless banter they will see no malice was intended.

If someone wants to call me a fucking prick, I will not call them a cunt or whatever, back, instead I will use humour to reply back with.

Athywhite posted earlier today on another thread that he had learned that it was no use falling out on a computer.

He's right.

I wish a few others would learn that also.

If you apologised, I accept.

No apology required or offered.

Great win for England, I was quite impressed with their play at times, maybe the best England match I've seen against quality opposition since Joe Mercer's was England's interim manager.

I imagine Southgate would likely have drawn that game.

Hugs and kisses returned.

Southgate reminds me of Evatt, glad he's gone.

Last day of school. "Showboating"

If these features are "unnecessary, then why are they featured as posting acceasaries?

Look, I'll leave that as a rhetorical question, I've already taken note of Zico's guidance, and I'll reduce my profile but I reserve the right of reply to those who clearly seek to draw a reaction from me - and we all know there are.

There's been no showboating from me but I am able to refute the actions of others from their own quotes if required, perhaps that has been seen as 'showboating'?

I had no known previous history with RW or Boby but I believe we now have reached a point where we all can respect each other and move on, Masi has an issue with me from Nuts, that I offered to resolve with him over there, my post to Mr Truscott was merely me teasing which unfortunately wasn't taken that way and most of my 'long post' haters seem to have taken to the ignore feature, so as far as I can see the worst is now over and things should settle down again.

I trust the above is sufficient to quell those concerns of your good self, Zico and everyone else.

Hope so anyway.

I didn't say the features were unnecessary, I just think your over-usage of them is.

Well maybe I've been using the facilities in the wrong way perhaps?

I use increased font size and/or the colours simply to highlight and bring to peoples attention what I consider the most pertinent points of the article or discussion I'm having in order to assist anyone who wants to get an understanding of the post rather then read the whole thing.

I generally use the default 'bold' highlight for headings and subheadings, a purple one to show it is I that is commenting not the article or within the article to attract the readers eye, and a third highlight if there is a third person involve within whatever I was posting.

One thing I have no control over (and what I've just replied to you via another post a few minutes earlier), is that of the font size of banner headlines of articles), the best I can manage is a reduction down to 80% of the original size.

How do people use the features in the correct way on here so that I can comply with the forum norm in future?

As I keep saying I'm not here to piss on anyone's chips.

Happy to adapt to my ways the best I can.

Fucking prick then, same difference, outright abuse.

As for awareness, I know plenty folk who take the internet far to seriously, look at you working yourself up over what exactly, you've even self identified yourself to be "a big thickey"

Did you mean it?

Of course you didn't, neither did I when I posted what I did.

What exactly is the big difference between being a "big thickie" and "slow"

Absolutely nothing at all...

In British slang, "thicky" (also spelled "thickie") is a noun that refers to an idiotic, foolish, or slow-witted person. Derived from the adjective "thick" (meaning slow to understand), it is often used in a mildly derogatory or teasing manner

As for having the last word, I don't need it, I've explained to you (and others) that it was a joke and you've just proved that yourself (albeit inadvertently), unless you really are a "thickie" in which case what I posted for "the slow kids" although said "teasingly", still applies.

Have a nice day.

Fucking hell. Fucking. Hell.

Jeez sluffy please chill out, weโ€™re all Wanderers, stop taking the bait and lighten the fuck up.

I am trying to fit in mate, if folk would only let me.

I'm sure even a Rabi would be welcome at a mosque, the vast majority of Muslims being good people.

Of course there may be one or two Muslims who would not want him there and make things difficult for him...

I'm sure the Rabi would forgive them and seek to find peace with everyone.

It's Rabbi

Rabbi: The widely accepted English spelling. It comes from the Hebrew word rabbฤซ, which literally translates to "my master" or "my teacher". Rabbis lead congregations, teach religious law, and guide their communities.

Rabi: This is not the correct English spelling for a Jewish leader, though it is the exact transliteration of the Hebrew word (ืจึทื‘ึดึผื™) from which "rabbi" is derived. It is also the correct spelling for a well-known ancient Jewish sage (such as Rabbi Yehuda ha-Nasi). Additionally, Rabi is a common Arabic/Muslim given name (derived from the Arabic word for spring) or a surname (like the physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

You're welcome

Bit of friendly advice mate, if I was you I would stop posting up definitions, using AI and using colour when posting because people on here don't seem to like it apparently.

Oh and that 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' don't you know!

Toddle pip!

The Swiss investors we have, does anyone know if there are other investors or is it just the Swiss? Obviously Sharron and Michael James are heavily involved at the club and I'm pretty sure MJ is pretty pally with the home bargains guy Tom Morris, Sharon with Nick Mason the drummer, just curious if anyone knows ๐Ÿ˜‰

You're very welcome.

I'm not sure I know how to copy a complete page from a PDF to be honest, so probably not the best example to thank me for but I am trying

Certainly that was the view of my ex....

We all know I'll never be able to please everyone, so there's no point me even trying to do so but now I that understand that a couple of paragraphs on a tab or laptop is equivalent to three hours scrolling on a smart phone, which most of you seem to view from, then I'll bear that in mind from now on.

Problem solved.

I think I'm done with this site. I came here for the fun, banter and gossip, wanted too see some FV news as this has been quite active, but all I see now in EVERY THREAD is arguing, spiteful comments and hatred. Life's too short to be twatty to each other.

Loads of people laugh and repost meltdowns from our rivals pages, they must fuckin feast for years on some of the shit posted in here.

I wish everyone all the best of health and happiness and up the wanderers!
