I follow your logic, and whilst restricting yourself to certain threads, wouldnt give opportunity for the perpetrators to offend, surely the boycott is to look further than that, and raise awareness etc. Its a very small sacrifice to pay in my view.

We could team up - if I hold him, you can get him! Not sure its the done thing beating up club mascots, so will have to do it under darkness!.

Surely being selective defeats the object of the boycott, Purple?

You do reply to a lot of my posts, considering you'd prefer me to boycott you.

Oh you`re so clever! Yep, so you can hide behind everyone else, as per.

I assume you've emailed the club / footballing authorities with your concerns?

If you say so.

Of course. The same question that I asked when I started the thread. You turned it to you, and Rays funds. This was a good thread, until you turned up, and as per usual with your own agenda. It's clear for everyone to see.

Ill leave you to it. You obviously want to steer this thread your way, as per, rather than a balanced discussion which is what the forum is for. I preferred it when you ignored me. And im sure others on the board preferred it without the tittle tattle you provoke!

I will have my usual input into Rays funds this weekend if that what you are worried about.

Erm, you posted on a thread I started, which you are of course entitled to do. But don't moan when I reply!

Exactly, and web forums are part of social media - that was my point, and why I started the thread. To have a discussion.

I have linked the message from the club to the start of this thread. Obviously they havent mentioned things like the pink un, as they dont post on there. To show support its a SOCIAL MEDIA boycott, which according to a google search includes forums such as this. but that is subjective, and hence why I stated the thread.

Jeez- Twist it around as per usual! ill try to make this simple - NO ONE has suggested boycotting Rays funds, or even this forum. Its a discussion about the boycott, the bigger picture. As i understand it, people can still do their predictions, before the boycott in place ? The updates from you (whilst good and make people feel a part of it ) can surely be missed / delayed for one week in support of a greater cause.

And to show support for our club, and others, that cannot wait? Just asking. Im sure as a one off for a good reason everyone will understand? Isn't that the point of the boycott? Im sure the people who have been victims on social media appreciate your support.

Like the one opening the thread? Are we likely to see less people on here over the weekend, the weekend we could finally get the title? So why is it a definate no from you NN ?? do expand

where has that been said? Or are you just trying to provoke a reaction? again?

I guess its down to the individual where their filter / compass is set, and their personal experience. For a demonstration though, it should be targeted at all platforms, if not it becomes unmanageable (that said I agree I have nothing against Archant and this site)

So where do you draw the line ? Obviously if the companies dealt with it at source there would be no need for a boycott and the like. As ive said before one mans banter is another ones insults.........

Fair point, and I agree with you there. although the issue is wider than one rogue establishment / user. I guess to take your line a fairer analogy would be if your issue was with a chain of pubs rather than an individual one, you would stop frequenting ALL pubs in that chain, but still attend other chains. I guess the problem is its harder to police - as the larger companies appear to have more issue, as they have a larger user base. I would also suggest that if its a boycott to raise awareness, rather than 'punish' the offending platforms, a wider impact would be gained by including all platforms, even if the less offensives ones present it as a 'it wont be tollerated on here' approach.

That's the problem, the lines get somewhat blurred. Its not only Celebs, Corporations, sports / TV stars who can post on the likes of twitter , insta , snapchat, tic-toc, but ordinary members of the public too, and also the use of forums like this, facebook etc, there are just too many to name, let alone categorize.

Do you count forums as social media Ward3 ? Im guessing some do, and some dont.

no offence WWIAFTM but isnt that a bit of a NIMBY attitude? Some forums / platforms have it worse that others I agree, but just because (in your view) the pink un doesnt, its doesnt meant other forums dont. Or someone else may think this one does. One persons banter is another persons insult. For it to be effective it has to be across the board surely ? If the perpetrators cannot post on one platform, due to the boycott, there is nothing to stop them moving to another for the duration. It merely kicks the can down the road. If they had no outlet, 100% it would make them sit up and think surely?

Thats good to hear, ii hadn't seen that. Good for him, doing the right thing, in the end.

So will you still be starting your plethora of threads, and commenting on others during the boycott period? Just curious, not judging, although it does sound like it, apologies. Apart from a few comments in other posts the boycott, and participation thereof hasn't been discussed much.
