Thanks mate. He's blowing things up as usual. As I said my ignore list is now updated!
The match thread thing is an issue Callmack due to this mate..... I then to view it have to show ignored content to view the thread and then I see what Toes is saying... you amongst others told me to ignore him..... that's defeating that purpose mate..... do you want me to have guys like this on ignore??? Or do you want me to see what they're saying and their sly remarks and want me banned??
Anyhow DKOR has said he's making them up from now!!!they do this on others teams forums too. It's unfair as to why southsport should miss out too... sorry bro but I disagree on this one and if I was to make up a match day thread how am I to know if there already is one if I'm using the ignore properly??
All good mate..... no problems...... I'm not gonna be bullied out of the forum though.... if they respected me mate then there wouldn't be this debacle... I think you'll find myself and Southy aren't the only ones who have had enough. Itsa and Handyman are over it too! Who you surround yourself with though bro is your choice at the end of the day. If guys like myself Southy and Itsa decide to leave this site for good don't say I didn't give you a heads up mate......
Hi Rabbits20
I am going to try to have a hard conversation with you that I have been trying to avoid. Please try not to see this as an attack on you, as that is not my intention at all.
I used to have a lot of issues with you, but I have come to the realisation that most of these were petty, and have let them go. However, there is one issue that I find myself unable to let go, and as a result of this issue I have zero respect for you. This conversation is about trying to change that.
Last year you participated in a vicious attack on two of the people that I love most in this world. and as a result I struggle to give you the time of day. Due to this I find I am unable to engage with you in a friendly manner. You often talk about how you have respect for others but they do not respect you. Sometimes I think you are unaware of how disrespectful you have been to others. The example that I am going to raise clearly shows this IMHO.
I do not have anyone on ignore in this forum and as such I just choose not to respond to your posts or engage with you. This is very hard to do as you are such a dominant contributor to this forum. You have been responding to my posts and seem to want to engage with me, so I have decided the time is right to try and resolve my issue with you.
I see this as an opportunity for personal growth for both myself and you. As I have mentioned previously, since the passing of my Grandfather and principle mentor last year, I am striving to become a better person. In the past I would have just written you off and engaged in some of the behaviour that you see as bullying of you.
My hope is that we can resolve this as adults and maybe even become friends. Who knows, perhaps we may not only gain each others respect, but also that of other forum members.
Rabbits 20, I would like to request one last thing of you. Please take some time to think of your response to my post (if you choose to respond). I would not be at all upset if you took a day or two to respond, as often I find when I respond to something in haste, my response is often not well considered.
I have been thinking about this for a long time and am trying to post this in a way that you will not perceive as an attack, and that we will both achieve a positive outcome. I am going to share some very personal information which I am aware may open me up to bullying on here This is a risk that I am prepared to take. I will endeavour to write this post tonight, but I may not get it done until tomorrow, so I appreciate your patience with this.
For some guidance, I believe you have four options in responding to my post. These are:
1. Ignore the post. In my opinion I would find this cowardly, but would not lose any respect for you.
2. Reply and try to rationalise what you said. In my opinion this would be more cowardly than Option 1.
3. Restate and back up what you stated previously. Although I would strongly disagree with you, I would at least respect the fact that you owned what you said and didn't just hide from it and pretend it never happened, like you did when confronted about it last year.
4. Apologise unreservedly. This would earn you my (and perhaps others) complete respect.
Anyway Rabbits20, like I said previously, I hope you do not see this as a personal attack, as that is not my intention. I am trying to find a way to become friends with you.
Cheers Stan.
