There's bickering on all forums, but some are worse than others.
Any with Brendan/Silverlining on just turn every thread into a battle zone, as we found out, despite our many, many efforts at rehabilitation with him. Hence why he'll never be back.
Others have diametric viewpoints, as do we, like RCDNW or RCDNR, or back kenny no matter what or judge him on current situation only, & posters usually back one camp or the other, this is fine when kept in check.
Then you have RAWK, the fucking hive mind of a site, it simply assimilates new posters, they won't even admit Rafa had faults at all, they could gladly examine his shite in the bog & tell us he planned exactly where the sweet corn would be using his immense tactical nous, using huge pieces of Tomkins articles on aforementioned turd to demonstrate this. They also hate carra as it was his fault Rafa's turd hit the edge of the bowl & wasn't perfectly prone at the base.
We're somewhere in between them all, only with tonnes of swearing, a bit of bickering, constantly surrounded by blag bickering & banter, all enveloped in humour, loads of it in poor taste but funny as fuck & delivered with more sarcasm than a Jimmy Carr gig.
As mods, we do very little, cos we don't need too in the main, most posters are bloody good at self moderating & politely telling others when they've overstepped the mark.
I hope you newbies like it here, but if you're offended by the word cunt, you may be in the wrong places!
