If you're banning me from general chat for sticking up for myself then delete my account.

[Guest]

This is honestly disgraceful. 

 

I've had people talking down to me for the best part of a year. I've had people insulting me for the best part of a year. 

 

They face no punishment. 

 

But if I stick up for myself I get banned. 

 

If that's how this works then I'd rather not be part of it.

Go to bed Harry, have a nice sleep and take a break from this place, it gets to us all after a while.

 

Take care bud.

Two things that you could consider before the usual melodrama:

 

1/ Once again - it isn't solely about you. My comments and those of others have also been removed. So what? It also happens on other threads. I've experienced forums without moderation before and things can quickly deteriorate - particularly when it gets personal. 

2/ In addition to the histrionics, you've been posting ill-informed opinion, misinformation and at times, provocation. Covid-19 is a highly charged subject. A global crisis which has affected us all in many different ways. Of course other members are going to react. 

 

As others have suggested - perhaps it's best if you stay away from the coronavirus thread entirely? There are so many other topics you could contribute to. This forum can be a great place (barring the matchday threads).

Disappointed. I was expecting a poll.

You are, sadly, entitled to express your opinion in the eyes of the law. You are not immune from people calling out your bullshit.

You are wrong. There are consequences to being wrong.

Are you Perez in disguise

Looks like Harry has just become the 2012 version of myself.

 

Getting into arguments 24/7 ☑️
Moaning to admin ☑️
Banned for spoiling threads ☑️

 

Keep it up Harry, Foxestalk always needs a rebel from time to time

Aahh...the old Kingfox what happened to him?

 

You used to really wind a few up, one of my favourite posters now (although I quite liked your attitude back in the day)

 

Older and wiser I guess

Finally matured.

 

Others probably won’t think that though, but then again they probably still have me on block  

[Guest Harrydc]

I just think it'd be more reasonable to ban me from the coronavirus thread if that's the issue rather than the whole general chat section. 

[MPH]

If I were you, I’d ask for your money back

[lifted*fox]

i got banned from gen chat, best thing that ever happened.

 

arguing with people on the internet (a football forum of all places) is a total waste, a time-sink; hours you / they won't get back. 

 

whether you're right or wrong about your opinions on COVID doesn't matter. 

 

my advice, forget about foxestalk general chat, go and find something more productive to do with your spare time.

No it's not.

I don't really "do" Gen Chat anymore, it just makes me tired. 

 

So I've genuinely never heard of Harrydc before. 

 

Regardless, I took one glance at the thread title and was pretty confident he was going to be some conspiracy nut anti vax covid denier. 

 

I was not disappointed.

I think the phrase they use is "out of the box thinking"

Which is ironic because they believe everything they read on Facebook or see on YouTube.

DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, SHEEPLE!

 the answer is to never argue with people, just explain how right you are.

Yet numerous times I've given data straight from the ONS. 

 

I think the ironic thing is believing everything the BBC says, because they're so trustworthy aren't they... 

 

I'll probably get banned from forum support now just for replying with that.

[Duquesne Whistle]

Don't think I've ever read one of your posts @Harrydc, but I wouldn't bother with this.

All you'll get in here is lord of the flies type pack mentality. If you single yourself out, they'll go for you because it's easy. The first reply to your post is probably the best advice to take. 

All the best.

Is it a pack mentality or is it when someone says something daft, the vast majority of people will tell them they've said something daft.

 

People have tried to reason with him, explained why he's off the mark and even at times told him to walk away from the discussion, not because he was being picked on, but because he was getting overly emotional. He can't face any opposition to his beliefs and gets in a frenzy when people challenge him.

The problem is, without getting myself in to trouble here (and I don't know harrydc or seen any of his posts) is that many many times I've seen the wrong party banned.

 

If you have 90% saying one thing (since they just don't understand it or are mentally challenged) and 10% people who have spent time thinking about it for themselves and actually understand something (I'm talking mainly about LCFC here); then its much easier to ban the 10% than the 90%.

 

TLDR; foxestalk is largely made up by idiots, since it reflects the wider population. You can't ban 90% of people; even though it would crystallise much better debates and enable the thinkers to converse without the dribblers interjecting.

I was referring to starting this particular thread. It's pointless for him.

I don't know what he's said, neither do I care, but you often see the same names having a go at people, and the same names repping them when they're doing it. That's what I'm referring too. That's a pack mentality and he ain't going to get any comfort from starting a thread like this, just more grief.

He may or may not have posted utter garbage, that's not what I meant.
