..in the wrong hands can destroy what already exists Not just in politics, but in sport ( eg an italian former football club owner) and in social media - eg on message boards that once were running smoothly Is this in response to my post of about 4 seconds ago?

Orient fans are a broad church, we have a choice of two message boards which have different approaches, there's room for everyone. I don't seek to involve myself in influencing the other place and l resist influences coming in the opposite direction. I support the "worldwide" fella who oversees that board in the style that suits its users, l also fully support Mungo who has led this board for ages and whose judgement has enabled it to continue. Here we can disagree and debate matters with justification, that's important to me. Long may it continue.

Sounds like, at the very least, it must have self-combusted.

What has happened on the other forum? Not a nice place. I’m a regular on there and the first to admit I like a good debate. But I don’t get involved too much these days. The level of vitriol is huge, debates start OK and degenerate very quickly. Sadly the moderators just add petrol to the flames.

A bit creepy crawly here, but I think you are running this forum fine Mungo...

What has happened on the other forum? You mean the one where 10 of the top 12 threads are currently about some kind of political/ medical/ racial/ class topic? You can probably answer your own question!😃

The (new at the time) mod on the other board accused me of sending abusive emails of which I didn't. I remember at the time I was surprised I got nothing for him (apart from a banning email I think). The abusiveness was aired in the open and I admit I was not perfect but was totally p1553d off with his arrogance... He banned me twice and as there was a chance of a third and out ban I decided it wasn't worth staying...I did call him a pr1ck which obviously isn't good but we never really got along before he was mod anyway…and yes calling names is not good at all…

Mate, I’m convinced that about 75-80% of the posts on there are generated by about 10-15% of the boarders using various aliases to ostensibly support their own political viewpoints or attack the views of others. Fine for those who like that sort of thing but personally I prefer to discuss football on a forum about Leyton Orient!👍

"creepy crawly", wtf that's supposed to mean? Errr being complimentary to be something like a teachers pet?
How my post could come across although it's not meant to be...It's meant to be complimentary on the way Mungo runs it...
Perhaps my wording was not good... I was referring to myself...
Welcome back JES...

Sad people I'm afraid. I suffered the same. I had an abusive stepmother who played games between myself and my dad (and turned him against me) and eventually...after missing school through playing truant (and being in care and an assessment centre) I ran away in 1979,I had had enough... That wasn't the first time...
So my punctuation isn't up to scratch and a few other things...

Hmm, not a clue what you're on about but, as befits the ethos of this board, I'm sure Mungo will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Good for you Carpslayer sounds like a tough start to life, but it's what you make it that really counts. Don't beat yourself up. I take it by your name you were/are a Carpet fitter/layer. Working out how to lay carpets, best fit etc, you must be good at figures now.
