Hi

Hi ladies / gents

Re-registered after a number of you sent me PMs on Pasoti asking me to do so to pass on updates etc.

As always will be happy to debate (when I can) but will not be responding to any pettiness.

Good health to all.

We should have had a vote on this !

Welcome back, Chris.

Could you explain what you mean by 'pettiness', though? I'm sure nobody would want to break the rules.

This post could qualify....

In reality I suppose I could have termed it better. Foul language, constant abuse.

For a man who already is building a reputation for 'public' foul language, I find it rather ironic you would cite this as a reason. Especially as your new best mate would probably be one of the worst offenders of all on Pasoti, and yet I never ever see you make mention of it.

And we haven't even touched on constant abuse yet...

Love to see you give examples of that Nigel.

And the section that I have highlighted will I hope show the majority of ATD posters what I am up against here. Very sad.

So how come abuse on Crapotti is warranted on there and not here??

I have never handed out personal abuse and nor do I think i should receive it just for having a view that differs from the next person.

It isn't this site or pasoti where the issue is.

It is a handful of posters.

Nice try...

I am talking about your reluctance to criticize the Newell's and Soper' of this world, who are far more abusive than anybody on here.



What I am saying is... You hold those on this site to a different standard

No Nigel you said that I am building a reputation for using foul language.

Again, very sad. I think this is where the issue is.

A few times I have had responses on here to subjects band I have thought 'fair point' and tried to take it onboard.

You and a few others however are completely incapable of holding your hands up when you are wrong. If I hadn't replied to your post then readers of this site may have got the impression that you havbe proof of me using foul language - which you don't.

If you could stick to the truth and be respectful then there would be no issues at all.

You'll see a damn sight more truth and respect on here than on other football sites.

Oh - forgot the rule. No pettiness.

Sigh.

Thats not my personal experience Peggy but always open for surprise!

I take offence to some guy coming on here telling fans that their behaviour is abysmal because they don't adhere to the party line that runs riot all over Pasoti.
Ricks has a point ... Pasoti has been full of abuse and bullying over the years and is why I left it. And indeed IJN and Andy S have been two of the worst offenders, apalling posters at times, and as for his language on the former Argyle Talk site, well, it was an absolute disgrace.
This latest appearance of yours is nothing more than a stunt, and takes away from what is really going on at the club. The club's decline is continuing apace, and you moan about pettiness of a few posters who happen to disagree with your viewpoint. If you don't like that, I guess there's nothing else to be said. You really don't get it. If I had any advice for you, I would suggest you concentrate on oipening Mr Brent's wallet, because nothing else will stop a third relegation, and certainly not this latest management team of convenience, that is far cheaper than getting a proper tested management team in.

Yes, pasoti is full of abuse and aggression. Yes, IJN is not blameless. That's one reason why I have begun on here. But to play the tit for tat game is nonsensical. If you don't like it on there why is it OK on here? Hypocrisy from ATD.

I didn't like the apparent tone of Chris's opening messages on his return and I agree his comments imply that he is satisfied with the behaviour on pasoti but what the hell, he's posting. He's trying to do his job. He's responding to some messages asking him to return. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Give the bloke a chance. And if you disagree, you don't have to beat him up.

Come on lads, I an sure we are all pleased to have Chris posting on here again, lets have some constructive questions and comments. Like how do you see your role as Club President?

Chris,how does your role as an imparter of information to various supporters groups dovetail with Rick Cowdery's role as media and accreditation officer for the club? I'm a bit confused about your role-when you give updates etc,are you acting in an official capacity,as a supporter, or something in between,a sort of quasi official role? Is it in fact possible to split the official capacity/fan roles and wear two hats? I'd have thought it was rather difficult personally,wonder if you would care to expand on this.

Chris Webb wrote:

Indeed I did.

There have been several comments on Pasoti ribbing you about 'swearing' during games. If you haven't seen them, you must be blind. Do you deny that such comments have been made. I must admit... I think you even replied to one of them. However.. Due to the bulllying nature of your new 'best mate', my 'search' facilites on the farm that would enable me to prove this to you, are currently not available to me.

But let's cut to the chase... Do you swear publicaly at matches or not?

Chris.

Would you not agree that with the benefit of hindsight the appointment of Carl Fletcher as manager was a rushed decision by Brent?

There has been no feel good factor as you would expect from the appointment in terms of performance or pointage return, we have relied on a former manager to sell the club for us in order to bring in both Bignot and Sutherland, on top of that, Argyle now face probably the 4 most crucial games of the season in terms of finance with regards to a cup run and 6 pointers against Northampton, Bradford and Hereford respectively, armed with the most junior management team in L2 and a group of players whose confidence is visibly waning by every passing game. Surely Brent must see Fletchers position as being untenable if we do not progress in the Cup and take at least 7 points from our closest competitors in the drop zone.

Can you confirm that none of the members of the CP are actively giving Brent advice to on field matters at the Club?

Also when can we expect Director appointments to be made and will Brent be seeking financial assistance from these individuals?

In closing do you honestly believe "Churchillian" like statements as the one posted yesterday is the correct way to address supporters, some of which are actually very football savvy in order to enthuse them about such a blatantly poor side?
I would of thought an apology to the guys who paid good money to travel to Torquay and witness that debacle would of have been a more sensitive and appropriate course of action to have taken, I realise you posted with the added caveat as a fan, however, I would suggest that to the majority on there any communication from yourself is seen from your close links to Brent and official club capacity now.

I'm just shocked to find no foul language or abuse on this thread!

Good to see all fans, internet based at least, being catered for.

I was only joking dear boy. Unlike another forum we don't do bannings for disagreeing with the mods and upsetting the herd with reality.

Similarly, we don't attempt to rewrite history, claiming predictions were 'lucky', or worse still, completely falsifying events, as with recent claims that we wanted Stapleton to spend, spend, spend.

As you well know, I put out the olive branch to Pasoti recently on Exeweb. It was their choice to refuse the healing process. As for the accusations of washing our dirty linen on other clubs' forums, I offered ATD for the purpose but that too was ignored.

You really can't have it all ways, or can you ?
