Why would you spend so much time on something you despise?
« on: March 06, 2016, 08:33:31 AM »
Unless you get enjoyment from trolling.
Or you get energy from futility?

The excuse of holding the club to account is so laughable it's painful to read.

Imagine if the club was actually run this way?

Is THAT the point?

It's like running a horse with a broken leg.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Making the club accountable has thus far failed too.

You are missing the point which is ironic.

I would like to know who all these despisers are.
I mostly see a heap of loyalty lots of patience and a deep love of the club itself.

Im not sure where it is written that you have to  accept everything richmond or accept  what is wrong and what has not been done well.
I am actually surprised so many continue to just accept what has probably been the least successful  30  odd year period of any club.

The guy who dumps a truckload of chicken manure on the doorstep after an unacceptable loss makes a bigger statement than someone who ridicules his fellow Richmond brother online

I dare say the club would take more notice too.

I post here because I find it to be a lot of fun. Sure you have your characters but that is part and parcel of having a group of passionate supporters speaking their free minds.

What many find here distressing, is the personal attacks on individual posters. It is a clear line that the mods can see. We may all not agree on many issues and that is acceptable. What is not acceptable is when this becomes abusive.

The internet bullies, as I call them, ruin the site for everyone else. I won't name them because they are obvious. We all know who they are (not you claw).

The funniest thing is they can't take it at all themselves although they can sure dish it out. When you humour them they squeal like a captured hog.

Anyway, with that off my chest, I wish you all a good day. :cheers

ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.

You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your lost loved one without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living.

I love Richmond and want us to be successful.

Ironically, the poster who started the thread is on the record as saying he/she deliberately trolls. So the context thread lacks integrity before the first reply is posted.

But I digress.

Demanding success and honesty are good things. I love it when we win and hate it when we lose.

So what's wrong with calling the good with the bad? Should there be protection or sanitising of poor decisions on or off the field?

Or should the facts be discussed in an open and accountable way? Should criticizing the club be off the table because some people believe it hurts the club or there feelings?
