Like offline communities some people exaggerrate or totally lie about their circumstances in order to cause mischief. And just like offline communities there''s a fair chance you will be stuck with the bore who lectures you on how they believe you should live your life.

You can always walk away from a community - but you can''t walk away from the club you support - and like it or not this is the best place to catch up/discuss things to do with Norwich. I can''t be on this board and ignore the bile and the visciousness or the "I''m a better fan" stuff that goes on - I''ll face it down whenever it happens, whether its to me or anyone else. If people want to be vindictive, unpleasant, subversive - thats fine - but they shouldn''t expect to do that and get away it unchallenged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted July 9, 2014 Internet forums are quite interesting in that regard. There is a degre of truth in what Nige say, but it''s a bit more complex than that. For example; If you are in the pub and the local bore/wind up merchant is in the bar, you just tend to sit in another part of the pub , or go to another one . It''s not so easy to do on the internet, particularly if it''s a site with a very narrow line of subject matter (in our case NCFC) . I guess we all have a tendency to rise to the bait . You certainly do, Lake, and often so do I . The big advantage of being on here a long time is that you get to know who the ones with genuine differing opinions are, as opposed to those who are just confrontational for the sake of it, and come out with moronic gems like ''I disagree with everything you say on principle''. Speaking personally, some days I haven''t got the time or simply cannot be @rsed to get in a boring spat with them. Others, when I''m in a more mischievous mood, I''ll get stuck in. The problem with your perfectly reasonable line of thought is whether they are ''challenged'' or ''unchallenged'' appears to make little or no difference to these sort of people. They just carry on regardless, resulting in frustration on your part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
