What he actually posted was:



Now, in context, and as I think any reasonable person can agree, this is mild ribbing of the OP for being a glass-half-empty kind of guy. And indeed the OP doesn't seem to be happy with much that goes on at the Bulls.

Which viewpoint he is, I hasten to add for ME's sake so as to avoid the risk of being accused of attempted murder, perfectly entitled to have.

Now to me, gently pointing out in a civilised way that someone is continually posting from the negative angles, is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. And since i am (mercifully) not a mod, it is no business of mine whether that is allowed on RAB, but I would think (and hop) that the mods view is there is nothing wrong with it. It's just well within the bounds of normal conversation.

People will always disagree. But to try to dress this particular post up as a "personal attack" is just bullcrap IMHO.

But, if it is, then it is no more than ME's constant digs at a mythical hierarchy, clique, call it what he will. I get sick of him chiming in with these snipes all over the place, it does try to derail threads and turn them into tirades about what seems to be some major chip ME has as to a number of posters ("the hierarchy", today, ffs).

I am very happy to leave it to the mods as to how far ME's derailing is permitted, which is just as well since it is fsck-all to do with me, and it is very easy to just ignore posts you don't like, but I would just comment that in this case, I think Adey's remark about the disparaging reaction of the OP to the signing, seen in the context of his general disparaging tone to much of what the Bulls do, is fair comment and is a seven-day camel ride short of a "personal attack". If we can't mildly rebuke people in this way, then we may as well shut the forum.

And it is certainly no worse than ME's fake allegations about hierarchies, and not thread deflecting. Whereas ME's launching into full-on attack-the-biased-and-sooooo-unfair modding is, as well as being a deliberate flouting of the rules about public criticism of the modding process. When we sign Luke Gale, I don't want to read how badly ME, or anyone, thinks the forum is modded in that thread, which should be about Luke Gale and whether he is a positive, negative or neutral acquisition for the Bulls.

Tigertot ate my hamster.

How can anyone defend the dribble 'roger daily' plasted on this forum this week is beyond me! Cannot be compared imo...

Last season 'rupert bear' was banned for trolling for the crime of questioning the official attendance given out for the Catalans game. Can't see how he can be a troll and a season ticket holder as well!
Bring back rupert bear, he has served his time!

If only I knew where it had been immediately prior.

It had been in a clearing in the woods, taking a dump, when the biggest grizzly in the woods came up next to it, and squatting down, did the vilest smelling pile of poo in history. Then noticed the hamster.

Quaking, the hamster said, Good day to you, Mr Bear"

The bear says "Hi there, hamster. This shiiting in the woods is no good, don't you find the shiit sticks to your fur?

"No, not really", says the hamster

The bear says, "Oh , well that's handy", picks up the hamster and wipes

hamster in nut marinade?

Why has he not had a pop at Aaronbull for saying the same thing then?

As for the comments. It is now practically every thread that he has to have a pop at somebody because they do not fit in with his opinions. I, for one, am sick of his snidey wee digs at me that he seems to get away with all the time despite apparently having been warned about them by the mods in the past.

Roger Daily called someone (Adey I guess) a "bumhead" yet copped a ban for it yet this guy is allowed to slag off everyone he wants without any retribution whatsoever? How does that work? The amount of times he sees fit to mock my mental issues when he full well knows I suffer from depression is ridiculous and seriously lacking in class.

Who is next to disagree with him and face the wrath of this self appointed board police?

As I said earlier and will say so again, Adey can say what he likes without worry because he is friends with at three of the moderating team who do not care what he says whatsoever as they will not upset one of their mates.

One off comments perhaps do not warrant a ban but a constant need to keep making the same digs after allegedly getting a warning to quit it surely is.

But it won't happen.

because aaronbull isn't negative as muchas you simples.

roger was abusive to numerous members of the forum, not just the bumhead quote,

adey is probably one of if not the most respected person on this forum, most get along but why do you bring it up to be abuse? It certainly isn't worthy of a banning. And not hint of abuse it's just stating what you must be in response to always bringing a downer on things, voicing your opinion is one thing but you take the mick sometimes mate, please just stop being negative all the time

Glad that freedom of speach is alive and well on this board !!!

Respected people do not slag off people for having mental illness and lie about things in order to make the situation worse.

Respectable people would heed a warning after being given one and quit the snidey digs.

You see, that is exactly what he is, a total snide that makes comments but ain't man enough to mention the people involved even though it is blatantly obvious.

Too many people let him away with it because they are afraid of the crap they will get from him if they do.

See he has fooled you too?

And it was not me that the comment was aimed at. "Simples".

Maybe I'll just report the post in question as it was indeed me it was aimed at.

not that it will make a blind bit of difference.

also - to anyone saying I only ever post negative comments, do me a favour, I haven't posted in months up until last week - aside from my opinion on the Huddersfield result, what else have I said?

mat also posted practically the same as you BEFORE you yet no comments were aimed at him. I wonder why that is??

Put your dummy back in ME. Starting a thread to get another member into trouble is simply pathetic.

Fui Fui Moi Moi!!

To be fair it was part of another thread originally and got split out by the mods (I assume) during the day.

Not that I've been doing no work all day you understand...

So can rupert bear come back or not?

Erm, I didn't start the thread. af did.

Maybe best to get your facts right before blundering in eh?

In fact, cynics could suggest that af did it exactly to provoke this sort of reaction....

I don't think cynic is the word you are looking for.

Have you read any of David Icke's books? I think you'd like them

Christ, it was an obvious joke. We have had a Fui Fui Moi Moi thread on here every pre-season since about 2004 and I felt we were missing it this year.

You made the original post with the intention of getting a reaction and another member into trouble, that's all the facts I need to know.

ME I would suggest that having a personal attack on another board member like this may just result in yourself getting banned. Something I don't believe Adey has done?

I've not got a problem with Rupert (the) Bear but its where you draw the line with these things. Before you know it Yogi and Booboo would be turning up and they're a right pair of c*cks.

If Adey had not made the original post on top of the numerous others he has made in the past, again AFTER AN APPARENT WARNING, then I would not have needed to comment in the first place.

What part of this do you fail to understand?

Must we conduct all this on the board? It's a huge turn off for 99% who come on here.

Please can we all just grow up and stick to the rugby rather than whinging on about personalities and having petty little goes at each other?
