There are no thread titles on FB. it's easy to ignore the crap by not clicking on it. Think I have made a few comments not many. BAWA forum has narrowed down to the same posters which tend to be digs more often than not leading onto pages of annoying crap at times. There are still good contributes but shit far out seeds it.

Cornwall_Saint Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) The facebook pages have nothing on BAWA. It's just comments over there, and I rarely look at it tbh. Most of it is shite anyway. I left BAWA years ago due to becoming bored of the abuse Gus McPherson was getting on a daily basis. That being said, I was also on P+B at the time, still lived in Scotland and attended matches both home and away, and followed the overall game more closely. Because of that, P+B suited my needs more at the time and I did enjoy the interaction with opposition fans. I left P+B after moving away. I returned to BAWA this spring, originally trying to find out info on potential title winning weeks so I could make a return home for the party. In the end I got dragged back into posting and now here I am I haven't returned to P+B, and doubt I will (although never say never). Theres a load of shite on here (myself included), but there isn't a better interaction service for Saints fans out there. Don't use twitter and the facebook pages are pish.

I don't think we can blame Div , he has had two attempts at trying to talk about reasonable behaviour and he has brought in the Sin Bin twice ,pretty much to no avail . The last time the Sin Bin was put in place made no difference as at least two individuals showed a complete lack of respect for Div and the Forum rules by inventing new aliases and coming straight back onto the main Forum , one can only imagine what sort of nuerosis compels them to do that and have posts into the tens of thousands ; not to mention the smilie compulsion that goes along with that. .probably something to do with psychotropics. .

Indeed, the forums been neglected, no interest from Div, and no attempts to delegate to assist. I look around quite a few football forums, all much tidier than here, no needless threads, control on bickering..................all down to moderation and people that give a fcuk. PS Anyone who thinks the Sin Bin was a good idea is a small minded fcukwit, divisive, no consistency in selecting who was in, encouraging a them and us, which still exists with some of the old forum darlings.

An electoral minority protest voted in a referendum, to which Parliament needed to pay no heed(and still don't). They were lied to. The process was criminalised and hijacked. If they thought they were not voting for a bus packed with squillions of free money but rather voting for a jump off an economic cliff, they may have not protest voted so blithely. people change their minds - which is why we don't get stuck with the same government forever. May went for a quick election to confirm the people were behind her and she lost her majority cos they had changed their minds. and your first line is simply unworthy, venal... see! It's the posting of lies and arrant, blatant stupidity that calls for correction, that draws me "back", when I see it. I'm off. you'll be pleased to know. feel free to post more shite. Don't vote, don't bitch - LEAVE won fair & square! Sure there was some spin, the £350M per week was the gross figure before our rebate but it was up to REMAIN to point that out. They ran a half-hearted campaign with Labour Leader JC giving the least convincing performance since Kevin Costner as Robin Hood! Perhaps a bit of electoral fraud too but saying the people didn't know what they were voting for is deplorable (sic)! PS - This is all a waste of a post if you're not out there anymore!

I put it down to two things 1. over the years, a number of people seem to think they have become great at posting on forums and that they excel in winding others up or insulting them. They are not great, it's not an important thing anyway and they are a bunch of wankers. 2. Many people have either been put off posting or have been bullied off the forum because of the mentality of some of these duds who hide behind the internet and put up shit that they would NEVER say to a human's face (although one notable purveyor of insults seems to have disappeared with his posse). As a consequence, the people with heartfelt, honest and constructive things to say are dwindling in numbers and this means all the argumentative shit is to the forefront. I know I read more than I actually contribute these days and that is because I know i will end up dredging through the shit that one well meaning point will stir up.

oaksoft Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) There is nowhere else on the internet that you can currently go to find like minded Saints fans in one place. Suggesting Facbook and Twitter as alternatives is laughable. Neither is a suitable replacement. Twitter discussions about Saints are scattered all over the place and any adult still using Facebook really needs their head looked at. To those who continually talk down this forum whilst contributing nothing themselves the message is simple : be careful what you wish for. When this place closes down nothing will replace it. You'll have no outlet for your negativity. Edited November 23, 2018 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah OK. Counting non-voters and adding them to your side to make it look like you have a majority is a very common dodgy tactic by those who think the rest of us are thick as shit. When you have to start resorting to this sort of abuse of statistics you really have lost the battle. Poor bluto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
