Rincewind Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Is he OK? He was a bit down the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADK Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 The first 3 posters I agree were decent but is that acooling you're talking about?? If so you should put down whatever you're smoking. Why? I thought he was one of the best posters on the football section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseBreath Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Daggers was a funny guy and I enjoyed a few sparring sessions with him. Never got the impression he was particularly intelligent though. Seems to me he got driven from the forum with his tail between his legs after he got proven wrong by genuinely intelligent posters over and over again over a period of a few months. Prior to that I assume he and Nick had the run of things on here, backed up by their merry band of lefty cocksuckers. When the tide started to turn they lost control, became very bitter very quickly and started just dishing out insults. Quite pathetic really. Would be great if they matured a bit and came back ready to engage in some of the threads we have on here like adults, as the lefty contingent is looking a bit weak these days. But sadly I don't think either of their egos could take the hit of being proved wrong about everything again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Rod Hull Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I spent a few years on the old BBC 606 site until someone on there posted a link to FT. It rapidly became my first go to site. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I never saw Daggers' last few months. At least I don't think I did... so I can only really comment on what I saw of his posts and the few times I met him. We disagreed on a lot of things, but when it came down to it, I found him enjoyable company. I wouldn't hesitate meeting up with most on here for a beer. Maybe that's not wise for the amount of threats I've had from people for merely having a different opinion. People should remember though that this is an internet forum and some people on here will know some of those being criticised, outside of the forum. Not everyone is the same in reality as on here. I'm a bit of a di ck in all forms of my persona, face-to-face, socially online, socially face-to-face, professionally face-to face etc etc etc. I'm not stupid though - and I buy my rounds (with money I've earnt by you know - working), which I reckon puts me above about 90% on here.

Rincewind Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I love how some posters, refer to others who may have views slightly left to theirs in the political spectrum in a derogatory manner as if inelegance is only applicable to those with the same views as themselves This is very clever and intelligent. quote backed up by their merry band of lefty cocksuckers became very bitter very quickly and started just dishing out insults.

The People's Hero Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Might be a can of worms - and I probably wasn't as interested in these threads back then, but I don't recall Nick ever coming across as overly lefty or argumentative.

Lovely guy I always thought and seemed to more than have his head screwed on? He went out in a blaze of e-threats. Basically his sole response to everything would be to suggest meeting up in real life to have a fight. Bit bizarre when you're debating some bog standard boring political issue and this weird angry guy keeps cropping up offering to actually fight anyone who disagrees with him. I imagine him as one of these factory workers who are involved in lots of weird little subcultures, swinging, bdsm etc plus low level criminality. He struck me as the kind of guy who is probably on the sex offenders register, probably for something like indecent exposure on a public park.

Rincewind Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Nick seemed OK to me as well although I never insulted him and he never insulted me. It works both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this won't mean much to you coming from me, but Nick is genuinely a nice bloke and I can't see that any of the above would apply to him. Maybe I'm an awful judge of character.

purpleronnie Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I find it odd anyone would dislike someone on here, yes people have different political views, some are boring like me, some are exciting like Rincewind, it makes the forum much more interesting, the odd insult, the odd dissagreement its all part of the fun of Foxestalk.

Given that respectable posters like yourself, Jon the hat, Finnegan etc all say daggers and nick were decent posters at one point then I assume it must be true. I never saw it though. Maybe they were just tiring of the place by the time I got here. Happens to everyone eventually I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I wouldn't say I was exciting, but yes I agree, there are some that need to look in a mirror when accusing people of being insulting. I do not think I have ever been When someone has to resort to insults I feel they are losing the argument. Anyway spent enough time on here today. I was going out, maybe Oadby and its 1.30 Been on Bentleys roof. One post said some fans will be pleased if Derby come after Pearson. I replied it seems that there were also fans here disatisfied with City being 3rd and it was lucky they were on a roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back to Daggers,he had obviously seen my posts re meeting up and to be fair didn't have too much interaction on here,but he did PM me and tell me he was meeting up in a pub with a few off here on a certain date and I was more than welcome to come.unfortunately I had a wedding or something that day.i was gutted to be fair,would have been nice to meet a few.

Webbo Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I've met Daggers for a drink and he was kind enough to put me on his friends list which I was genuinely touched by, it got to the point though where I would cringe at his ridiculous rants. I took the cowards route, thinking that rep points were anonymous,I repped people he was arguing against hoping it would discourage him. Unfortunately rep points aren't anonymous and so he turned on me. It's a shame and maybe I should have been more honest but he was getting beyond a joke and perhaps it's best if he gives this place a wide berth for a while.
