How serious people take this message board. There’s a small amount of posters that can’t let anything go and are quick to get personal with each other. I hope they aren’t like that in the real world.

I've met loads of people over the years who I haven't always liked as posters and they almost always turn out to be really decent people. The people who I do like as posters have always been pretty sound too. There is one notable example who get's a really rough time on here (often deserved based on their posts) who is such a nice guy when you meet him.

I'll argue away with the best of them and when people are passionate about things, football or otherwise on here, it's understandable that things might get heated or you'll get rubbed up the wrong way from time to time. Is it worth actively disliking someone based on almost nothing though? Being irrationally irritated to the point you started personally abusing people based on a football forum very much falls into the 'life's too short' category for me these days.

I think it is part of a far bigger problem really. With so much information and opinion readily available now there are people who just don't want to read anything that they disagree with, you can surround yourself with opinion that totally reinforces your own world view if you choose to do so. I'd suggest that can lead to a total overreaction when you are presented with the reality that not everyone thinks the same as you do and it's easy to dismiss alternative views as 'bias', 'negative', 'happy clapping', 'bedwetting' or so on.

You make a fair point but you do know we’re all trying to narrow down who this one notable example is 😁

The pop up ads for Diesel (the clothing range) Christmas. Anyone else had it? Sitting on my phone and it just popped up. Mrs gave me a hell of a look and was just about to go on a rant before I showed her what the ad actually was. Let's just say its more appropriate for erm some adult websites than a clothing company lol.

The property agency Belvoir.

I don’t know if there’s a reason for the exclamation mark on their signs, but it makes them look like over dramatic fannies.

Not for the first time on this thread, I have to express my dismay at the rapidly, growing numbers in the global species, Pesci faciem.

Ghost Alexa notifications. My Alexa devices have started announcing that I have a notification and getting the associated green light that signifies that I have a notification. When I ask it to read my notifications it says I don't have any despite it just saying I have a notification. This is now happening every day. I've tried unplugging them all and restarting them to no effect.

Hibs fans absolutely losing their minds on social media because the club have changed profile pictures to a pride flag.

Particularly the 50 years old men wailing 'but why don't you have a special day for meeeeeeee?'

[Stairway 2 7]

Brutal. Same gimps that ask why there isn't a white music awards every time the mobos come on.

Maybe pride aren't getting to do enough if they aren't conveying the persecution hate and murder committed against their community each year.

Hope hibby of every orientation enjoy our 3 nil victory today

When people still feel the need to post in thread after thread with comments like:

There’s no old firm, rangers died
There’s no team called rangers they died
It’s not rangers, it’s sevco
Don’t call them rangers, it’s the rangers


Aye, it’s been a decade, we all know
