thplinth Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Also considering it was me voting him down every day... Why were you doing that? I think on the back of the BT smearing him endlessly and then that it took a toll. Can't fathom this warsonianfan persona at all. If it is him he has made sure watsonian is different enough to keep us guessing. I'd say before he quit he was informally one of the most respected posters on here, very smart guy imho.

phart Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I can't even remember now. I spent ages fecking about with the voting system, if the archive goes far enough back i can vaguely mind talking about it a couple of times. Can't remember what i said. No doubt it was some plan i thought clever at the time. It was a weird system to introduce. He was pretty crabbit at the end as well, probably justifiably , but very argumentative as well.

I don't remember much about it, but I do remember poor folk getting voted down for no particular reason. Then one of the popular folk, like me, would come in make a nonsical post about Roasted Cheese or whatever and would get hunners of upvotes simply for being one of the cool kids.

thplinth Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) During the period where BT was sledging him relentlessly (for being a BNP member and all this outrageous racist filth that was levelled at him) I was in exile. I watched it for a long while before I sent Kernie a PM and said 'I hope this kkunt is not getting to you'. He said 'he was a little'... but I think it was mostly due to the fact that not a single ffukker on here stood up for him (including all the mods) despite BT talking utter utter shite and Kernie being a kwality act. I got a little frustrated at it all so did the only thing I could think of. I sent a PM to Flat Earth explaining it all and why I thought BT was a million miles out of order. Well thank you Flat Earth as he subsequently blootered BT like I could have only dreamed of. Flat Earth is a GOOD GUY.

DonnyTJS Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 not a single ffukker on here stood up for him (including all the mods) For what it's worth, I laid into BT at the time and still have a PM from Kernie thanking me ... which just goes to show that what you say if fundamentally true. I suspect the voting-on-posts thing was the final straw, it was a ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyshaker Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 One that springs to mind is GiMac, he was a regular poster and I saw him at the Travis gig in Amsterdam the night before the 6-0 game. He had a top with his name on the back so I went up and said hello and chatted to him for a bit, nice bloke. Haven't seen him post on here for years though!

I was stunned that bothered him. phart had his number and did him. Why phart why? edit: bring back Kernie!

He had Peter Perfect, or some such Hanna-Barbera character, as his avatar didn't he? I liked his posts - he was superbly pedantic which drove folk who got into arguments with him round the twist.

Broon2 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I am not a prolific poster by any measure, but I am on the board fairly regularly- at least viewing, usually in Travel or TA Specific. I believe the board is like the support in general, folk come and go, it's actually amazing if I think back say 10 years and then five years and compare to present day- the number of folk who were regulars home and away, who are no longer seen at games. There will be a host of reasons for this. There are of course many who are constants, there are many like me who go back 30+ years. Folk give up, get fed up, come back, go away, come back, use other forms of social media, see the same arguments come up, see the same opposition come up, moan, greet, laugh, p!ss off, come back, go away...it's just the way it is. I have had a drink with many on here, would have a drink with all , might only be the one mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
