Honestly Necro, I wonder where you get this arrogance from. You consistently offer maxims about how the footballing world works, and yet, your opinions are consistently lambasted and mocked.

I mean, we all make mistakes, like I thought Montella would actually do a good job. I also (inexplicably) think Hakan can become a good player. I'm sure there are a host of opinions that I have that many would find silly, outlandish, or just plain wrong. We all do, so your attitude and tone is jarring because I wonder what gives you this sense of importance. I mean this sincerely.

I take no joy in pointing this out, but I wonder what has given you this sense of grandiosity. Genuinely. Is it because you are a mod? Do you hold yourself "above the fray" because everyone here (including myself) has opinions that we find laughable, and therefore we string together a patchwork of those opinions we find silly and contrast them to our own to affirm our own sense of logic and knowledge?

I am confused because there is a difference between disagreeing with someone, which I do with many on here (and many disagree with me [which is natural and fine]), and offering pithy statements in response to things I am saying to another person. If Hugh (who I was arguing with) wanted to reply to me this way, I'd understand. Maybe you could explain to me why I am wrong, perhaps engage with me--I love to learn--but you don't. I find this particularly odd because, again, not only do you not offer an argument in return, but I genuinely wonder what do you expect of me in response to your patronizing statement?

I believe the last time you attacked my sense of reality, I responded in (my typical) lengthy way and questioned why a mod would act this way. I asked that you please leave me alone, as I expected more from a mod. I have replied to some of your posts since then (I double-checked), making sure that they would be in a respectful manner--and I actually agreed with you--as I thought that previous dust-up should be forgotten about and that we can move on. It seems you are unable to either address this situation properly as an adult, nor have you done so privately, and have seemed to continually violate the norms that I would imagine a mod would adhere to. I am disappointed and confused.

I highlight this, again, because you are a mod. I can understand you offering terse statements to posters you believe are trolls, or to someone who you feel you need to corral, but I am confused because I have not displayed the sort of behavior that (I believe) warrants your responses, especially as I requested that you cease that sort of behavior with me.

If you are going to reply to me, be an adult. I don't need your paternalistic responses, nor do I value your opinion enough to heed your dime-store attempts at laconic wit, because you are bad at it. The only reason I am addressing you at this length is because you are a mod, and I'd imagine that you should be expected to act like one. I'd rather discuss things about Milan with you, I'd love to be enlightened about your perspectives (maybe there are things I've missed, I'm not omniscient), and I have attempted to smooth things over by engaging with you after our last dust-up.

However, if this is to become an annual occurrence, I'd rather you display some tact and just leave me alone. I've tried to be diplomatic from our last tiff, engage with you, and hopefully get some new perspectives. That has not happened. You are a mod of this forum and should act like one, and if this was a misunderstanding I'd imagine you'd want to address this privately--but you haven't and at this point I'd rather deal with this out in the open, because your attitude is unnecessary and (now) repetitive.

The whole point of a mod is for you to moderate, make sure things run smoothly, and the fact that this is the second time I've felt the need to respond to your attitude, perhaps you should reflect upon yourself a little bit. It shouldn't be my job to ask you to modulate your approach with me.

My response, I'd like to repeat and underline, is rooted in your status as a mod. If it was another poster, I'd probably ignore it, shrug my shoulders and move on--or I'd write some annoyingly long response (like this one), but I ask you: at what point do you reflect upon yourself and ponder what creates this need to correct me like I'm a child, what gives you the entitlement to do this, and what can you do to ameliorate that?

Perhaps those questions are too prying. Perhaps you think I'm just being a dick. Or perhaps you should just leave me alone if you're going to continue to offer me more of this. I'll probably want to respond to something you'll say in the future, and I will do so with respect and with sincerity, like I did last time; because you deserve respect, as does anyone. I'd prefer that sort of interaction. However, if you are incapable of that, I'd ask that you leave me alone. I'd put you on ignore, but because you a mod, I am unable to do so, hence the need to have this sort of discussion here.


Sam, I put yr post here without yr permission and I am sorry, my only intent was to put this great piece of work where it gets max exposure and not buried in the main thread where originally posted. This needs to be read by as many members as possible.


Thank you,
A true fan

Although I support this....necro has kind of grown on me.....like something that's more fun to bitch about than actually address. He's not moving. He's not changing. Might as well deal with it. The forum is a great place even with the infestation of n00b charlatans.

Glancing at this forum gives you the same vibes at the back of your ears as watching giampaolos football. You start asking yourself if life can be so boring that you've lost the will to stand.

The mods are irrelevant to this end. The damage has already been done.


Banter era shit housery made watching Milan worth it.

Now it's so bad I don't even need to ask to be ashished. :eek:

Goodfella is a good poster though. I appreciate the effort he puts in for the level of responses he expects to receive.

Nah fuck that, he deserved it. I reported him.

I’m sick of people just saying whatever they feel like about Chinese people just because we’ve had a bad Chinese owner.

It's pretty clear that necro is biased and corrupt
If similar posts were made about other members of society you'd see how fast that ban hammer comes crashing down :proud:

Congo is a great poster. Brighter than most and very funny but there is definitely a different rule for him and the rest of the kewl kidz. It is what it is I guess. Hell if I posted EXACTLY what he and the other pets do I'd be instabanned :lol:

It doesn't help when some mods are so pro Islam and so openly anti-Israel. It becomes a tolerated opinion here. And yes it's mainly Sage but also necro and joyrider.

Also Curupira...grow a pair bro... everyone gets shat on. No need for the snitching :head:

Nah, I'm good and comfortable with my pair.

I've held my tongue for a long time while people casually said racist shit about Chinese people and disguised it as "shitting on Li".

You say everyone gets shat on, but didn't you just air out your grievances against one particular group that doesn't a couple sentences ago? Shrugs.

You could ask for a fairer standard that people who are openly anti-any other race is banned as well. But I think level of decency and respect is needed. I respect your posts and respect your opinion, but this is where I stand on this.

:beer:

That statement was with reference to the moderators who actually act in a biased manner.....It's a bit different when they have the power to enforce their bias as opposed to merely stating it/them.

either way the alleged offender has been banned so it's all good (I hope).
I don't like asking for bans unless someone does something egregious...but we all have our own takes on this.
Much love :beer:

People shouldn't shit on the Chinese nor the flag of Israel. :thumbsup:

I personally wouldn't mind the Israeli emblem on the Milan shirt for a season.

Can we go back to the old system of tiered bans ?

2 weeks first offense
4 weeks repeated offense
3 months another repeat

Etc etc.

3 month bans to start seems harsh.

Or it would be better if the type of ban and corresponding time period is well defined.

Free Congo :o
Free speech free expression is the only way to live :thumbsup:
Once you start censoring yourself because of whatever authoritarian SCUM gets their fee fee's hurt...it never ends.

I don't always agree with what he says and thinks and truth be told the mods have been SUPER lenient with him. A lot of dumb shit he has posted would have gotten most of us banned.

But to see a real G like him go because some billionaire can't deal with a little banter.... feels bad man :head:

"He is a jew from New York" wasn't exactly the tone of that post, that was clear as day.

Completely uneccessary tho to give out a ban like that. And for three months?

Didn’t you say the anti-Israel sentiment is tolerated here?

This was probably a message.

Am sad to see Congo go though

I've changed Congo's sentence from 3 months to 1 month. On second thoughts, it's not as bad as milanator's tirade.

Honestly, I don’t know. But if we hear from a lawyer in connection to such pics, the poster will be permabanned.
