Its pathetic, also reported because I have enough to contend with elsewhere without someone else trying to be a private dick.

If you post something on an open football forum you will expect notifications and posts to what you say. It's not personal! offered to discuss via DMs after one provocative attack on me, but poster never took me up on it tried reporting swearing / attacking posts to mods from this poster, no idea whether it worked, whether the poster received anything from mods so I ended up using ignore button, although the poster seems offended that I do I am quite surprised by the pot and kettle view though when unfortunately I see other people quote the posts I’ve ignored. Hey-ho. I expect I’ll get a shirt reaction post back as a result of this post, but just letting other posters know I’ve tried to do the things he / she suggested above, but it appears it was all lip service. I think he / she creates a toxic environment on this forum. Mods: is there some forum functionality that blocks “quotes” for posters you’ve ignored? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) I kind of get the forum can be a bit of a funny place sometimes, especially if you have a niche view - so taking a step away for a bit to reassess is sensible if it's stressful. I get that. The "delete me from existence" stuff was very odd though. What I don't get however is returning under a poorly thought out name CLEARLY referencing your old one, denying it, and then immediately starting to post in the exact same rude / provocative / toxic manner that got people's backs up in the first place. There are thousands upon thousands of members on this forum, and the vast majority manage to get along really well. If you find a repeated problem I'd suggested some introspection, rather than throwing blame/attacks around at everyone else, even if it's only for your own mental health/wellbeing.

The person clearly has issues and seems to be deliberately provocative and controversial to get a reaction. They then play the victim and accuse people of bullying, or harassing them, if they have the temerity to call them out on it. The next step is to go on a totally OTT and abusive rant in a manner that, if it was a bloke doing that to a woman it would be totally unacceptable, but for some reason, they seem to think it’s ok if the genders are reversed. As you rightly say, why change your forum name, then leave clues in your new name as to who you were previously? Extremely strange behaviour, that’s for sure and sadly, the only thing they bring to this forum is conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They *want* people to know they’re back, hence the name. That’s what’s so bizarre and why it’s right that they get called out so others know. It’s not a personal attack at all to point it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waconda Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I think this could well be a very pivotal moment in NPs 3 year plan. Whilst I disagree with how he openly criticises players in a public forum and would argue that in no way helps his cause I can totally understand his frustration and anger as as it seems the players are not reacting to instructions. he really did seem disheartened and at a loss of what to do next. Hopefully this latest public slating will prove fruitful but maybe it is just time to except that this group of players are never going to buy into his methods, just see out the season without him having a nervous breakdown and hope to encouraged the ones he can't work with out and replace them. The is no expectations on results, so accept it is what it is and wait for the next transfer window. He may well have had enough all together though.

Bristol Oil Services Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 13 hours ago, And Its Smith said: The very fact you ask that question shows a certain naivety. Unless you know the individual it’s impossible to say how you’d motivate them Let's try and remember we are all naive about the essential goings on inside professional football - you yourself have disagreed with Nige - not without experience and success in the game - saying that he can put desire into players by motivating them while elsewhere on this thread suggesting we "listen" to "ex pros" when they wax lyrical about great motivational managers. Why aren't you listening to Nige when he says this? We're all guessing about this. Motivation is a slippery thing from what I can see, hard to pin down. Did Nige sign Vardy then set about "motivating" him, or identify a highly motivated individual and pay a record fee for a non-league player to make sure he got him? It may, or may not be, that Nige cannot motivate any more, or never could; I just don’t know how we could be sure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just a very afraid woman, looking to engage in something that's relatively safe, get away from all that crap and where her abuser wont turn up and repeat the same. It is the oddest thing to see other posters try though, which is why people will get short shrift. Enjoy the rest of your discussions. All this yet you're still so abusive and rude to others? Why? That's why people are commenting on it. Because it's a forum. We'll have different opinions on all sorts, would be boring if we didn't, but the rudeness and abuse is uncalled for, which is why people questioned the name change, which you denied back in November. Wish you all the best going forward regarding your situation, however people will find it easier to empathise with you and offer help/talk if the way you put across your POV is made in a better way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrytheb Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Ffs people can't we just get back to talking football on here? The constant slagging off, verbal abuse and general nit picking is tiresome and tbh, in my opinion, some of it is borderline bullying. People are slagging off posters saying they must have issues etc but then carry on anyway. People, from both sides of a conversation just seem intent to argue, belittle and slag people off. I would image most people came on here to have/read a semi sensible debate but it's turned into a poisonous/pathetic topic between grown men/women from the comfort of their keyboards. It's ******* pathetic. Think the mods should just lock this thread as it's gone sooooooo far past its original purpose and it's become far to personal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly we live in an increasingly angry and polarised world, amplified by social media, in which many people seem to feel compelled to take (to put it politely) dogmatic positions. Why not be open to evidence and persuasion and the possibility that we might be wrong? Why not like a post that you disagree with because you think the poster has made their point well? And where we are not persuaded just agree to disagree? Do unto others and all that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
