When I see a man trying to strangle a woman I don't ask questions. I whack the fucker and leave the questions to the police. I have been in court 4 times ,3 cases were dismissed by the judges,3 different judges and the 4th incident the charges were dropped when we made an out of court settlement,the plaintiff was made an offer he could not refuse though not by me I might add. I am not and have not questioned your motives. Luckily I have not witnessed such incidents. I very well may act in the same way, if I did. The Robocop reference was in no way derogatory. More like Cocopop, than Robocop these days🤣

NSW may not be THE most prolific poster but he has still managed 3 since he made that comment a few hours ago. I really hope that he honours his promise and supports Herne Bay (or any team that is not Maidstone).If he severs his link to the club he can have no reason to post on this board whether it be politics or in respect of a team he does not support. Sword on the other hand makes reading this board worth while and hopefully Cedric will soon be out of hibernation and will also contribute. I see daveu has recorded 12,312 posts to date which is well in excess of nws. I wonder if he is the ultimate forum God ? 9 words, 2nd sentence, 1 word too many.

Only 2 pages earlier I, apparently, posted 3 times more than anyone. I never promised to support Herne Bay. Your posting doesn't really bother me unless it's about me. I normally bypass it.

hbs got the Admin (in those halcyon days when we actually had an Admin) to considerably reduce his number of posts.
Before that he had posted even more than me!

Just to add that I was on here three years earlier. Taking my earlier total into account JDL is still more prolific than me despite being here three years less. I was easily the most prolific poster once. In modern times, I'm not. In the halcyon days of admin, I had one solitary thread moved. Less than the amount of people warned/removed for being abusive towards me. Pigbags continual attempt to resurrect the political thread is laughable. I changed it to talk about Maidstone related stuff and nobody was interested. It's now on page 3. On page 1 in a thread about trains yet there is no Complaint. It's almost as though the complaints are a bogus and a disguise for online bullying. Like Mr Sword, I won't desert Maidstone entirely. It's my town of birth. I just don't want to pay to watch one particular player. If you are upset by that then maybe ask yourself why. I'm, in all honesty not bothered.

Bothered or not nws, you are still likely to read responses to your posts. Whilst I totally agree with your values and standards to all things associated with animal cruelty, I do think your attitude towards Zouma is harsh, uncompromising and lacking proportionality. The guy ends up being seen as the victim and your over-reaction can be perceived as a form of bullying which does your cause no good at all.

My last thoughts on Zouma. I’ve softened my initial stance. If a young burglar or hooligan can be redeemed and make a fresh start, then so can someone who filmed his brother kick a cat. Mostly, we as a society do allow for rehabilitation of those who break the law. No good will be served by forcing a man to be permanently unemployed in the one industry he is skilled at because of a misdeed when young. If his current performances result in a contract I wish him well, but his past will not be quickly forgotten by some fans. Maybe volunteering for an animal charity would go some way to proving he is a changed man.

Sometimes it’s fine to agree to disagree.

The guy ends up being seen as the victim and your over-reaction can be perceived as a form of bullying which does your cause no good at all. Of course I read responses. It is hard to engage in conversation otherwise. I do try to actively read as well. Maybe, in your perception it is harsh and uncompromising. I can accept that viewpoint. It would, IMO, need mental gymnastics to perceive me standing on my own principles and acting for myself as bullying. That would be inactive reading and evaluative.

Sometimes it’s fine to agree to disagree. I disagree😂. TBH I can only agree to a point. If you are refusing to accept bona fide evidence then I question how fine that is

No surprise with the nws response. I guess the level of intolerance being expressed is the polar opposite of christian teaching. It begs the question. Is nws the antichrist ? I'm not a Christian and would question whether all parts of Christianity are tolerant.

I have a horrible feeling that nws will not let this go. He will just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on I'm happy to let it go with a simple statement that I'm not going while he plays. I'm not attacking others decision to continue watching. That's their choice. They seem upset by my choice and continue to attack. Maybe you should ask them why.

The opinions I'm getting from people associated with the club is that he will not be deemed worthy of a new contract on football abilities alone, this would solve and relieve all problems. Your decision George,make it wisely
