So let's be clear here. You are accusing me of issuing death threats on forums such as this one? Yes or No?

You should work for the daily mail

The simple point (not simple enough for you obviously) is if he is I have never done such a thing so he is wrong yet if he isn't then no matter now much of a 'keyboard warrior' he thinks I am my behaviour is in no way comparable to those issuing such threats towards Phil Neville hence his point is moot, wrong and just a little bit dumb!

ok Chris , you put it how ever you want.

He mentioned abusive internet users which maybe not in your mind you're not but you demonstrated it in this quoted post in the first sentence with the little insult and which got you banned not long ago if I remember correctly.

So crack on with your little anti-football agenda , I'm off for a dip in the pool

Not really my fault you couldn't see what I was so obviously getting at

PS RTM my post if you feel offended, but remember what Stephen Fry says about being offended

I am not manipulating anything,. You made a daft comparison and I pointed out why it was daft. Your reply to that is to post a grossly sexist comment inferring women are manipulators.

Keep going as you are just doing so much to reinforce my opinion of the average football fan.

He's just telling the truth. At least we're not bitchy though. (to add, that was a general comment, not aimed at anyone personally, for those that can't take a bit of banter)

Seriously guys, can you please just try to have a conversation without the personal digs for once.

Oh I don't know, I've learnt something on this thread. Apparently I am a death threat wielding keyboard warrior with a fanny between my legs. All this from the man who claims football fans are sweetness and light.

Anyway with a bit of luck it will all be over on Thursday

Oh come on Chris, you know he wasn't accusing you of wielding death threats, nor is he saying all fans are sweetness and light. You are an intelligent bloke, please don't start doing what you hate other people for, choosing how to read something, even though you know what they really mean.

It's a sport he and many others enjoy and so much as you have your firm opinion about fans, he is naturally going to give an opposing point of view based on his experiences. You both have the right to do so, but I'm sure you are all capable of having a discussion without resorting to insults. It might be difficult, but I'm sure it's possible.

Er... my last comment about the death threat wielding keyboard warrior thing was meant fairly lightheartedly. We did deal with that earlier in the thread. Please try and keep up

Anyway I am done with the 'discussion' as there's none to be had really. I'm right and people approaching it from a biased standpoint are hardly going to be objective are they?

But you have posted that you wish software pirates, cancer and a prolonged painful death

I'm not sure whether that constitutes is a "death" threat though,

You have to admit it's been pretty quiet round these parts recently. Nothing like having a go at the football followers to stir up a bit of activity. Not that I don't mean what I say of course

Contrary to popular belief, football fans are very sensitive souls and I feel duty bound to protect them from the mean Motor Sport followers.

Motorsport? Is that the one where fans of opposing teams and drivers don't beat each other senseless and drink to the point of becoming aggressive and abusive?

agreed - we can argue all day long on the relative distinctions and merits of wishing someone "cancer and a prolonged and painful death"

and the idle twitter "death threat" -

as ever people will have a view

Yep and what made me laugh about the cancer comment was that at least two of the people who complained had in the past suggested things like 'they should have their hands chopped off' or worse in relation to people heaving their cars stolen or vandalised.

Ergo I guess an Impreza is worth more than someone's hard work in the form of software so fair enough
