Honestly? Have you looked at what you are typing? I can't have an opinion as I am mod?

There is obviously a disagreement but you are way wide of the mark,[/QUOTE

I have read most of your comments and TBH I would have expected more from a Mod but I guess you have taken your opportunity to get you views over and cause a bit of trouble thinking you can get away with it because you are a "Mod" time to stand back or this thread will get out of hand and will close.

Why will it get out of hand? No reason for it to do so as far as I am concerned. Yes it is an price issue for all concerned but hey we are supposed to be adults.
 
Out of curiosity can you tell me why the word offends you? Indont mind if to don't want too as I say just curious.

It's a difficult one really. As you say it's not sectarian but it was dreamed up as a term of abuse - some people seem to think if you use it enough it becomes OK. If a pal called me a "hun" with a smile during some banter in the pub I'd laugh it off, probably call him a "tim". On a forum like this from people you don't know I find it more sinister. I wouldn't call anyone a "tim" on here. If I called someone I didn't know a "tim" it'd be abuse.

Basically, I don't like it, don't think it's appropriate here. However, looks like I'm in a minority of 1 on this.
 
The thread was going along well until one appears,they are all in denial and will be forever more yet they do not and cannot see it.

Close the thread,we know the score but the majority of those who supported the club that are deed never will and there in lies the reason no one has any sympathy for them.

Nope it gets up my goat as well, hence I have used the Taig word. Not a word I would normally use but feel I have been forced into using on this thread, sad really but that's just the way it is.

Not quite all, I think, if you've been reading my posts.

Don't close the thread - I'm off to bed, the rest of you sleep on it. I asked a serious question before things kicked off - I'm interested in the answer.

Cheers guys!

Fair enough although surely abuse is abuse regardless of personal connection no? Anyway. This is all getting a bit socio political for me so I am going to bed.

Sleep tight and get out the right side of bed tomorrow, I am sure it's going to be a long day when the Bhoys get up and read this......
