I go to a site called Big Booty.... everyone gets along very well there.. and I mean very well.

*swish*

The problem is this: when you don't have a lot to discuss RE footy despite negative things, it makes people either anxious or apathetic. All of us are either anxious or apathetic.

Anxious posters stick to their mindset and that creates conflict.

Apathetic posters will dwell in TalkingStuff, make jokes of footy issues or generally try and avoid thinking about football.

Well, I reckon laughter is the best medicine ... so, no need to thank me guys

I don't think it is anything sinister sheik, but I certainly agree with you that Carlton supporters are not used to such bad times, and are struggling to cope with it.

When we are on a winning streak, we seem to agree with each other a bit more! :D


I'm not for one moment suggesting anything sinister at all Ma, just pointing out that it might be something all Carlton fans are going through. When you are winning and are up the top end, life is always so much better and the tendency to take a potshot at someone would certainly be less common.

Bring on the draft picks ..... and quickly. :wink:

John M.. i think im w little over the ytop because i have been saying were crap for 3 years and we need talent.
I have also been saying players like Lance and Campo are doing us no favours.
Because im kind of 'out there' .. i do get quite alot more criticism than most.. and usually its a few people having a go.
I really dopnt mind that because football is a sport that relies on passion and emotion so peoplke respond to it with passion and emotion.

I must admit there are plently of times im overly aggresive.
With BM its abit different... he had been sniping me with comments about "terrace whispers, rumour mongering and spaghetti muchers" for three years...

So i must say because he started this and was in the business of pulling me down (to make himself feel more important) i do take great delight in sticking it up him each chance i get.
I understand its childish and immature but BM was a catalyst in rounding up possies to tear me down and my thoughts way before i got personal with him.
Right now everyone knows BM was wrong about the older players leadership and our talent base...

I think i dont usually back down in reality or in here if i believe something.
I could post stuff have my posts questioned for credibilty (which also means me) and just not worry about it???
My defence mechanism is not back down and i do understand i do cross the line.But usually thats because i get more than one person hammering me about my thoughts or information as people love to knock people who they perceive as having more info on whats going on than themselves.. and others like to feel informed and have their thoughts provoked.

So i suppose i have my fans and knockers.
I dont mind people having a go at my credibility but if they do i dont take it lying down.
People that know me would never say im a nasty person.

Sometimes i just get white line fever if im challenged.

But thats only because i dont ever want to be known as a rumour monger or a troll..


I do believe people go for my jugular also.. i probably go that little bit harder because im like that when challeneged.
This is abit of an indepth insight into the goings on off my very twisted mind...and it might be because i hate being told im wrong.. which means MASSIVE EGO... but also maybe i like sticking up for myself because i genuinely support who i am???

Either way im sorry that i come with faults.

But i do admit to them and come with them ,.

Even know i know i must every now and again be wrong... :D

(If that all makes sense)


The other thing is i cant stand people that "just dont get it".

Theres a reason for that too.. i cant go into it in here.. but i get frustrated with people i think are 'fools'.. and in many peoples eyes im a fool myself..

I do try and put a comic slant alot of the time and sometimes i forget to.
The Hulme thing was tongue in cheek..


Intersting post Synners. Now, where have I heard a personal defence similar to that before. ;)

Shiek's post is interesting too considering some of the stuff he's posted on TC.

Nevermind, so long as everyone understands that it's actually not that hard to get along we should be fine. The thing that I find interesting is, that if one believes their point of view to be so right, and based on such solid reasoning, then there should be plenty of scope to explain this with measured and coherent discussion without needing to resort to jackass style posting. Generally speaking most people don't like admitting they are wrong, or that someone else's view may be "better" than their own. The trick, as I see it, is this, if someone still disagrees with you after posting a solid case, then I reckon you just have to let it be and not allow yourself to get worked up. It can be hard at times I admit.

Thanks to everyone for their posts in this thread though, it's reassuring.

Cheers camel

Oh one more thing, if posters have at any times have any concerns with the way the site is running or in terms of personal attacks etc, all mods implore you to let us know. Any feedback is good feedback, and helps keep us on our toes and helps keep the site running well.

If anyone ever wants to discuss anything about the site with me, please either email me or send me a PM, I'd like to think I'm pretty open to what you may have to say. And if you reckon I'm not then tell me.

:D

camelboy, it wasnt really a defence just an explanation.(PS. I ALWAYS EXPLAIN MY POSTS AND THEORIES so people understand why i say things and give REASONS)

John M and Mrs Caz, i didnt take it personally. Just explaning how *I* feel at times.
I sometimes take the whole thing as abit of fun and at other times i feel im under seige because im a prolific poster and sometimes in your face.
I dont regret what i say..
I dont however wish people any harm. .. but ive had my support for Carlton , my info and integrityquestioned on more than one ocassion.
I can do what bullistic does (Post something and when it comes to the crunch evaporate ) ...or i can see it through.
Yes im probably robust but sometimes i feel i have to go that path because of the attempts to knock me down (by more than one poster at time )
Please dont think i took this thread as some kind of attack on myself by the administers of this site.

I am a clock
I am an island


its not my fault I'm always right. I blame our public school system, making everyone else dumber than me. Also, less handsome.

Hey synbad, was that you at a bar on Victoria St on saturday night? I saw your doppelganger there. He had his hand around Whitnall, and his other hand rubbing campo's frostbite.

:oops: Just saw this thread.

Our lack of success has been the major cause to this IMO. The arguments about draft picks, long serving players and the future direction and state of the club are touching emotions we've never experienced before.

I think the discussion generally is healthy. I've certainly not been offended by anything directed towards me, but I also think I'm able to deal with that type of thing pretty well.

If I got out of line yesterday with my attack in the Match Discussion thread saying anyone hoping we lose this week aren't supporting the club then I apologise for that. Its misplaced and misdirected emotion.

May we come along success sooner rather than later so we can all get back on the same page :D

There's a site you can go to which will "write" posts for you. I would link it, as they are absolutely hilarious, and to be frankly honest, vastly more witty than anything on here, however it may be misued by others, so I won't. :P
