"The Way Forward" Previously Chris Webb/Greenman joke thread

My last word on this also.

There is a common denominator in 99% of the arguments and problems on this site.

If things like this didn't happen, there would be precious little to post about. Match threads get to about three pages, 'he looked at me funny' threads go far and beyond five pages. People then come in and post, "this is boring/shit" and those posts bump a thread to the top of the page - ironic.
I've probably only received four/five pms ever from mods so this has been blown out of all proportion - the "we have to deal with this shit all the time" mantra is frankly bollocks - I've responded negatively once in the past.
I'm certainly not playing a victim card - I never do, never have, never will. I will point out what I see as inconsistant moderating/double standards - that's entirely different.
Mouldy's posted a long one a few pages back calling me a 'dickhead' etc.- I don't care bht don't then bang on about abuse if you dish it out.
The essence of this thread is a back slapping love in ripping the piss out of someone who cannot respond directly. Embarassing isn't it - someone asked how old I was - I'm not eight years old. This thread would suit the under 8s though. It's nice it got twisted into something else as the opening, juvenile posts have melted into the background.
Try and pick this post apart Mouldy for 'evidence' of my evil. I'm sure you'll find something and then, you can call me a name or something.
Have a nice summer all.

That bit I agree with, the rest? well......there's an election process...

I assume you mean Brent and pasoti......the 1% is what Hairy or is it you  .

This thread is now locked. I think that everything that needs to be said has been said.

Hairy is welcome to delete his account if he wants (as is anyone). Any further issues from him will result in him being banned. The vote by the mods was unanimous and if there are any further problems then that is that. Enough is enough - this endless cycle is ruining the site and we are going to take steps to protect it.

Any attempts to troll or goad Hairy (or anyone else) will result in the poster receiving a warning and the mods will follow the procedures set out here:

New Rules wrote:

1) Warning.

2) Second warning and a 24 hour cooling off period.

3) Final warning and ban for a week.

4) Permanent ban.

There are lessons to be learnt for all of us from recent events. Lets learn from them and move on.
