You go out for the day and all hell breaks loose (17 Viewers)

[Ring Of Steel]

I’d suggest it was the postings of GTT, Gimoc and Como that were out of order. Grendel has seemed fairly balanced from my reading of it

Grendel is just Grendel, desperate for attention and tries to suck anyone and everyone into arguments just for the sake of it, he’s easily ignored though. The racist stuff got to me and I couldn’t ignore it, I have no issue holding my hands up there.

So racism is ok?

Just say it .go on

Why are you throwing that at them? They clearly haven't said that.

I simply removed both comments and said calm down. You can't demand others get banned after you have just spouted homophobia towards them.

Can you not see the point?

Hence I spent a fair bit DM'ing you about it.

Where have I said that. Stop being defamatory.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

All the idiot posters on here who used to say it's just a coincidence Grendel hates all covs black players hahaha

You are looking like a complete and utter idiot. That is defamatory too.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Must have been his cousin on his account tonight.

 

[Nick]

I did say earlier I'd cleaned the thread up and removed the remarks and to just calm down a bit. As I said, I removed them for your benefit rather than anybody else's.

I explained this to you in messages just after, also.

Ha ha ha. Grendull accusing others of being homophobic when he constantly questions my sexuality as a slur. And I believe he’s gay about as much as I believe he’s wealthy. The guys whole on line persona is a figment of his imagination.

And when he pretends to be anti racism and religious hatred but defends ADM referring to me as "David O'Taig".

Tbf there is a lot of homophobia, misogyny people using the r word on disability in addition to the called out racism.

None of us are perfect, the last week has shown the worst sides of many. I'm not getting into who's right, I'm not excusing any of it, but we're generally a bunch of mostly men of a certain age, possibly some of us even dinosaurs and I don't think the large majority of posters set out to be offensive or want to constantly read about who is arguing with who or who is racist or right on or part of a pile up. Most imo want a bit of banter, to talk about the important stuff going on around us without being embroiled and to mostly talk about the city. I'd like to think I speak for 99% of the forum, well probably more like 90% of regular contributors and draw a line under the whole sorry mess.

When it's good, this place is really good. I think so much better than the Facebook or twitter ramblings and I can see a lot of infrequent contributors being put off if this continues and the place will be much poorer for it.

To be fair, that's automated because it was relentless

I'll speak to him.

Boosh seemed to want to talk football in his latest iteration

Well I think you're all cunts

Northen was sound , always disagreed with me too

Which was always

 

[Grendel]

Yup when my wife had COVID everyone banded together to help me

Which is why it's a damn shame we have lost 2 good posters due to Grendel's trolling

Get them back and let's move on

Why are you telling lies?

 

[Grendel]

His shit thread got them rightly challenging it and then nick carried on his aggro with them.

Regardless I am saying be nice if could get it sorted without any long term damage to the forum

I talk to NW virtually everyday you thick twat

 

[fernandopartridge]

Going to Rotterdam next month for the first time - is it good mate?

The whole place is pickled

 

[fernandopartridge]

Starting that mental health thread was probably my only decent contribution is 13 years on here

Don't milk it

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Still don’t get why greggs was banned either

Didn’t Greggs get banned for some racist posts about Somalians? I didn’t see it at the time but I remember people discussing it afterwards.

 

[Otis]

Yeah, I remember.

I honestly thought it was a joke at first, because it seemed so oddly weird, if I remember right.

 

[covcity4life]

What do you mean by homophobia is rife on my community?

Just answer the question

Them leaving had nothing to do with Grendel whatsoever.

 

[PVA]

There's obviously been a lot of bickering in the last week or so, from both sides.

But last night it got to a point where it became apparent that not posting about football is apparently a bigger offence than posting racist shite.

Two regular posters decided that was the final straw and it's hard to blame them.

I'm pretty sure they'd still be posting had Grendel not started that thread.

At least we can look forward to posts about chem trails and conspiracy theories, I guess.

 

[Sick Boy]

It could have been anyone starting the thread, it was a major news story. It was sharing racist videos from openly racist Twitter profiles and Britain First stuff and it being kept up that led to them leaving.

Ahh I don't mean the Southport thread! Yes that could have been anyone and is nothing to do with Grendel.

I mean his 'Suggestion' thread. That is what tipped those two posters over the edge.

As above he requested people be banned for not posting about football and that request was taken more seriously than the numerous requests for racists to be banned. That was clearly the final straw for those two.

You gonna comment on his racism to me or you not give a shit?

Nobody was going to be banned for not talking about football?

Why are you making things up?

The shit stirring is unreal.

 

[Sick Boy]

It was obviously not appropriate.

 

[skybluetony176]

Grendull walks a fine line on racism in much the same way as Ferage, doesn’t specifically say anything racist but suggests enough to light the touch paper. Let’s face it, the overtly racist poster swoon over him, he’s like the racists sweetheart, Dame Vera one too many gins. Wouldn’t even say if something overtly racist posted was racist because he didn’t know if it met the legal definition of racism for instance. What a crock of shit, he’s a grown man, allegedly, old enough to know the difference between racism and not racism. When racist are lining up to like and put laughing emojis against your posts while putting turd emojis against the posts of someone like NW it’s probably time to sit down and have a long hard think about your values.

 

[covcity4life]

Bit you decided to stay quiet and only comment when you had a chance to stick up for him over something

Still gonna pretend I'm wrong and your not his cuck?

That's certainly how it came across and those two obviously thought so too

He wasn't sticking up for him? He was being factual.
