SilverFox Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 But surely that is down to whoever it is who has posted the link to a certain thread, not the actual site?And to some extent, some of the comment in this thread can be taken as out of order as well? Can't everyone just be more friendly? As some of us keep saying we are all Leicester City fans! 148235[/snapback] Good call Shelly!
Guest Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 With respect, that isn't every member of that forum. I will not be tarred! 148233[/snapback] I haven't said it's every member on there, it seems to be the same few who never venture on here, to be honest. It's a shame, because there are some top posters on both forums, and yet again, the 'Them and Us' thing rears its ugly head.
shelly Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 But why does there need to be a 'them and us' attitude?
Katy Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 To be honest people I have been boycotting posting in General Chat but as this post is based on something I have done, I feel compelled to reply. I have made my feelings perfectly clear on Talking Shite (yes as we are all name calling) in a Thracian style tome. I dont think my good and dear friend Stez was referring to anyone being 'faithful' to one board but as my other good and dear friend Lisa said, its the constant bitching between the two boards thats the problem. I notice even now Babylon has gone back and moaned about Stez etc. Why is this going on? To be honest im totally sick and tired of all this forum bollocks, its energy sapping and ive had enough. I have made some really fantastic people on here and consider most of them as my good friends, no body seems to be able to live and let live anymore it seems.
shelly Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 Don't be like that. You shouldn't let other people's pettiness stop you posting on a forum you like. You have to rise above it!
Babylon Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 Babylon has gone back and moaned about Stez etc. 148241[/snapback] I moaned about having a thread about being called a cnut and getting a text message late at night. I never mentioned any names so don't make up lies. Considering I am being called all the names under the sun FOR CALLING A FORUM A NAME. It wan't me who slagged you and sam off so why am i getting the shit? I want an apology and several people have been bang out of order.
shelly Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 Talking Shite (yes as we are all name calling) in a Thracian style tome. 148241[/snapback] Er,isn't that the same thing that Babylon person said they were doing? Calling this place one name and the other place one? I think that's a bit odd myself but I don't see where the problem is if he is not being indiscriminate in altering the forum names to amuse himself.
Steven Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 But why does there need to be a 'them and us' attitude? 148240[/snapback] The reason for that is quite unique. Other boards are created independently of each other, but this forum was the love child of two former FilbertStreet.net/Leicestershire.com/TalkingBalls.co.uk posters who wanted something different. The strength of feeling is always greatest amongst those you know and so is it with TalkingBalls and FoxesTalk.
Babylon Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 I think that's a bit odd myself but I don't see where the problem is if he is not being indiscriminate in altering the forum names to amuse himself. 148245[/snapback] BINGO.... thankyou shelly. I post on both and call both names so what's the problem. I don't do it to amuse myself... it's a running joke on both forums. People on here have called them talking bollocks and they have called this place chav talk LONG before i ever did.

If I can avoid casting stones, and a vast majority of others can do the same then slowly it becomes less of a problem. You don't have to chastise people for not doing so, just ensure that you don't add to the problem! We are all fans of the same club, and only the very bored or very petty will find ways of taking a joke out of its context, or even worse going beyond a joke and genuinely harbouring feelngs of ill will for people they have never met. I apologise if you have been offended. I have yet to read the thread that appears to have caused such an uproar, but I listened on the radio last night, and felt you did a good job!

I want an apology and several people have been bang out of order. 148244[/snapback] Dont you call me a liar! Do you want me to provide a link to your post where you said 'I got an abusive text late last night' and you did just go back on there and slag Stez off! For Gods sake its not what you called the forum, its your attitude to the people who post on it. Its ok Shelly, im just letting off steam but things have to change. Stez has just text me to ask if someone can delete the thread as and I quote "can you get Sam to remove the thread and ill defuse the situation at dinner, it wasnt fair of me as it wasnt really Babylon, it was Fcukcov, I was a bit rash but annoyed that no one had actually stuck up for you on there!" OK???

Still don't see why there has to be this needling between both though.It's plain that people use both sites so why let it get to this?

People on here have called them talking bollocks and they have called this place chav talk LONG before i ever did. 148247[/snapback] Well I just thought that was pretty clear to me! I still don't know why you do it though!

OK??? 148249[/snapback] Sorry I really don't think saying someone has started a thread calling me a **** is slagging off stez. " it wasnt fair of me as it wasnt really Babylon" END OF STORY
shelly Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 Its ok Shelly, im just letting off steam but things have to change. 148249[/snapback] It's a pity that all these forums can't co-exist.I've seen other threads slagging off the OS from time to time as well, not that i've been there, and that is the same thing. Is there any need for it?Of Course there will be certain people who you don't get along with because you have different views but to let it get like this when most of the time you don't even know the people away from the internet is silly. That wasn't aimed at you Katy btw,more of a general towards everyone opinion.
Ric Flair Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 This is amazing!!! I reckon their could be murders like East Coast/West Coast shit. To be fair, 'the other forum' has gone rapidly downhill since that cnut Malf left.

john_lcfc Posted 2 August 2005 Posted 2 August 2005 who sent you a text babylon as thats a bit extreme? i think that some of them calling us chavtalk and some of us calling them talkingbollox is alright and i dont think everyone should fall ou about it. Just a bit of fun IMO LOVE DONT HATE (exept forest fans )

Just a bit of fun IMO LOVE DONT HATE (exept forest fans ) 148266[/snapback] I had the audacity to send Babylon a text saying and I quote yet again "Thanks for that, I read Talking Balls you know!" You just cant get any more abusive than that!

I think this just got out of hand as someone had a pop at Katy and Sam, getting personal is out of order. Because my name stood out I seem to have taken all the flack.
