Not running ex soldiers down at all. That would be silly. Just expected a bit more critical thinking and a more sturdy bottom lip. There is a reason Australian Soldiers are among the best in the world and you should know why.
If you can be bothered go back and read how we got here. None of the sub forums have rules that state that a poster must support said team. Of course you are going to get a few trolls, but mostly supporters of other clubs coming for genuine discussion. Some people are that defensive that they see a comment from an opposing supporter and have a meltdown, rocks are thrown, so a few get thrown back.
As for me being a hypocrite you will find many examples of me defending opposition fans in the Penrith sub and calling out our fans for being dickheads and attacking those coming for genuine discussion or even a bit of banter.
Obviously you have slept on it. If it's a roundabout way of apologizing I do too.
If you want to pm me go ahead, I don't disclose personal details on a forum.
Look, I've been around forums for years and I'm no sook. What I am though, is someone who is absolutely fed up with trolls derailing this forum, the LU and other outside forums. It seems to be the norm in a less personal society.
It's all about what others can do for them without making any worthwhile contribution.
When I go to other club's forums I'm very respectful, feel free to check my Dragon posts.
As a WT forum family we are not perfect and I'm sure we'll be talking amongst ourselves to find ways to improve relationships with other forums, especially after last night. Friendly banter is good but not personal attacks.
I've lowered my guard on LU lately, mainly because I'm not very well and have been insulted and belittled too many times.
Is it my fault. Probably a little bit.
People telling me to chill after reacting to a sledge from keyboard warriors has worn thin and Ive cracked.
I just want to chat to nice people about footy and have other pub like conversations.
I'm seriously considering folding from this joint but the only thing that's stopping me is communicating with the few nice people here.
