To all those who have deleted their accounts

[E.D.]

This board has been up and running how long, and already we've had people deleting their accounts? Why? This board (I hope) was created to be a discussion of all things Burton Albion related. A quick look on google about the definition of discussion is "a conversation or debate about a certain topic". Debating means expressing opposing opinions. Why can't you all accept that opposing opinions should be welcomed? Blimey, there are few enough people posting on here without some of you leaving because others don't agree with your own opinions. We need more people not less, and we need that diversity, not a mutual appreciation society where debate is stifled. Why don't you all agree to shake your virtual hands, come back and re-register, and let diverse opinions flow whether you like them or not?

If I see another post about deleting accounts, I'm going to delete my account.

I totally agree Everard - healthy debate and diversity is good.

[sjh567]

when you have people saying things like i met cp and insult that person whoever it is and think its my mate el diablo (which it isnt by the way) it doesn't make you want to use this forum and makes you want to smack him over and over again

Twice in two days that someone has threatened to smash me face in, ooh to be popular...

[Newark Colin]

Are you looking at my pint?

Outside. NOW.

I haven't been passed any of the moderator powers by the admin as of yet.

But posts like that one by sjh567 aren't exactly going to help matters. Especially when violence is bought into it. We all support the same team as each other as well.

It is kind of ironic that it comes after a post saying healthy debate and diversity is good to be honest .

To me this week the board had had done new life breathed into it - come on guys and gals, let's keep that going and forget the unpleasant stuff.

Spot on E.D, I have never seen the point of deleting your account, it is almost spitting your dummy out .

As a virtually silent observer (I don't feel as though I can make too many valid comments about the quality of the football that's being played now by the Brewers as I live in Malaysia and never get the chance to watch the team I've supported since the 1960s), I was so pleased to see this site established after CTMD closed down. If people disagree, so what! The point is we're all loyal Albion supporters who want the best (as we see it) from our team, so let the debate continue. We may argue and disagree on many points, but these are only points of view nothing to get steamed up about. I'd hate to see this forum go the same way as CTMD as it's a real lifeline for the likes of me living thousands of miles away.

[mikeyboy]

Good to get you involved albion222.

[shaky]

"Smashing of faces" I have obviously missed something over the last few days !!

On a brighter note, its good its good to log on and see quite a few new and updated threads. before it was just a few that had been started.

Right I'm off to delete my account :-)

No one likes to be disagreed with. But that's life. If you don't want anyone disagreeing with you, live in a cave.

Funny thing I've noticed (I can't recall any perfect examples cos it's more general than that) is that people come on here, moaning about not being able to disagree with anyone, then having a pop when someone disagrees with them. And I disagree with that.

Maybe you disagree with me?

But isn't that the point?

Go on, I invite disagreements. Happily.

Just to try and explain to you guys why Ive decided I would rather not be on here, maybe it is a case of spitting the dummy But I had a right belly full last season of all the negativity, the season did turn out to be a nightmare after Christmas, but to me the one thing worse than the football was the crap on the forum.
This season (to my surprise, cos I didn't want GR as manager, but I'm delighted he's proved me wrong) the team/squad look a hell of a lot better, stronger, and totally committed throwing themselves in the way of everything, and being totally committed to the cause.
Every game this season IMO has seen total dedication and great effort, the games we have not won we have still played well in and given 100% effort, so to come on here after 2 great wins and see people still not happy with the team/manager/chairman, well it just made me feel I don't wanna be part of it, what it will take to please some people I really can't imagine, but I have seen massive improvements in my time watching the Brewers, and I am more than happy with the steady progress being made.
Ill still pop on to see whats on here now and again though

Reg me old forum buddy - there was a lot of negativity on CTMD earlier this year but there was very little to be positive about . I can remember you ventinig your frustration on there once or twice too . Constructively though I might add .
When GR was signed as gaffer I was totally demoralised and wondered if I'd bother with this season at all . But I swallowed my pride and went along to a couple of friendlies. It didn't take long to see that things had changed. The same players were/ are like new signings . We're having a great time at the moment and I can see it continueing because the team seem actually give a toss .
I disagree with mr rowett owett but I'm still here. I'm suprised you let him wind you up mate .
Go on, re REGister, this forum needs you !

Agree with everything here. Reg if you want to see some real negativity to see how bad it can really get go on Oxford's site ;D
I felt the same as you last season, but can disregard the small amount of negativity, and doubting Thomas' on our site, because like others on here, I like so far what I am seeing on the pitch.
