So, do you think that it is acceptable to make personal attacks and rubbishing members views? Because I don't. I have never criticised a post for its content. Everyone is entitled to their views and if Forum members don't like them then either ignore the post or reply with a measured response and not some brainless personal comment. If I am on the receiving end of such unnecessary and unwarranted comment then it is likely to receive a vitriolic response. Healthy dialogue is great but I'm not prepared to be on the receiving end of rude "smart" verbiage. Maybe, JDog, although not pinned, manners and decorum should be an integral part of communicating. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that you and JDog are good friends. My post wasn't aimed at him in any derogatory way. Clearly, I have no idea of your past but I do wish you luck going forward. And I really do mean that. Everyone deserves a second chance. But I would advise to chill a little before firing off a post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balotelli Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just to reiterate my position. If some Forum members don't like my posts that's fine. It's easy. don't bother to read them and certainly don't reply with personal insults. It seems that some of my posts seem to have "ruffled a few feathers". That should be healthy as otherwise there is a tendency towards stale debate. On the reverse side of the coin, many of the Topics that I have broached have received a great many replies and many views. I just don't believe that the bulk of Forum members are enraged by my posts. My guess is that the silent majority don't mind my comments and it is the vociferous minority who are feeling uncomfortable as for some, or many reasons, they are feeling outside of their comfort zone.
