1980 is the bagging out you speak just criticism or just general slagging off?
Do you suggest that that we as supporters become communists and blindly accept every thing that our exalted leaders do and say as perfect?
Or if we have an opinion we should be free to express these opinions even if they are critical of our club, leadership or players?
I have found that in general that most posters have a logical reasoning when they post. Whether we agree with that reasoning is up to each individual to decide for themselves.
A small minority however can be purile in their attacks on our club, and the best way to respond is to use facts.
An example is the erroneous claims of Conca's poor game in the last NAB cup game. Every time a poster made a false assertion I would research the claim to confirm or dispel it.
I found that after a few posts the claimant would stop posting on that subject as they were found to be making an idiot of themselves as the facts proved otherwise.
I did not suggest that his game was perfect but in particular one poster claimed that he missed a 15mt kick by 10 mt I knew that to be rubbish and when challenged the said poster failed to back up his claim.
In some areas facts can't be used and everything is purely opinion and these debates have raged on for days and weeks.
I enjoy a good argument or debate with my fellow posters but as most people who post here are passionate about the Tiggers that is what makes it great.
Where do you stand 1980?
.
Sorry I should have been clearer it's as you say "A small minority however can be purile in their attacks on our club" entirely about that crap.
Love a great debate myself and and as I said our voices need to be heard, but if somebody came in here and read the rubbishy crap that some posters believe will make a difference and state in a way that is just downright idiotic then nothing would be achieved.
Hasve a say because that is what forums are all about, doing just that but as an adult, granted I don't know the ages of the posters that abuse others, they may certainly be young and not so wise.
I could talk footy 24/7 both good and what needs attention, but not in this fashion.
If I was to post that Conca had a poor game and I was wrong, I could be told politely that he did in fact have a good game, with a small reason why. If I didn't accept that then I would then be an idiot. I don't mean politely as pleeeeease and oh thankyou in a small voice, stuff that rubbish, I'm talkin about intelligent conversation.
When matters are discussed in the real world such as footy, (with friends or even strangers) people just don't talk like they do in here (well not all the time anyway).
There is a difference between during the game and 4 days later when posting something.
During the game a person gets excited at great grab or goal, and then outrageously angry when the ball gets turned over or didn't lay a tackle. That's when posting reactions become excited or angry. But to post that anger a few days later should, if possible, be written much better, as in logical reasoning as you suggest.
There are some great posters in here and many posters that want to be great posters but may simply prefer attention (negativity always gets attention, it's human nature).
I just wanna talk and enjoy talking with other passionate Tiger fans.
I do believe that have I and everybody has the right to post what ever they want to, if it's what they think or believe there is nothing wrong with that.
The other day I posted that I believe that Big Ivan could go for another 4 - 5 years playing. I was abruptly told that it was absurd. That poster does NOT know for a fact that he won't play for another 4 - 5 years. Fair point, but an intelligent adult having a civil conversation would give reasons or at the very least say that they don't think so etc etc.
In general it's the virile few that destroy it for everyone.
Talk, discuss, debate and even argue about the mighty Tiges but do it with some intellectual competence, is all I'm askin'.
