Sometimes people just want to talk about football and football players, that's all I'm saying.

If there was a thread called "The Board is Shite" it is unlikely anyone would post a reply along the lines of "we should play 4-4-2". Likewise, if there is a thread about on-field issues we don't always need to go off on a tangent about the board (on the phone so no emoticons but "wink").

As I said earlier, sometimes less is more. More people might read more of your theories if you took this approace. Anyway it's just a thought.

That I don't discuss...I'm allowed the odd conceit.... I actaully had my last seizure the while getting ready to take my driver's road test - don't think I need to add more than that....

My age question had bugger all to do with your epilepsy.

You come across as an intelligent person yet seem lack the personality to actually interact with people on a normal level, either humour wise or realising the futility of your "crusade".

It's not even bordering on obssessiveness, it's invaded it and shagged it's women.

I give up, you win!

The reason I lost is down to the board by the way!!!

I know - I was just pointing out that I was old enough to drive and that was all I cared to say.

Well thank you. But I think you are acting on perception rather than than reality, a perception fueled by by a a disagreement with my views.

I could point out dozens of examples of humour both actual and attempted (even I drop the odd clanger in fact they aren't all that odd unfortunately

), and i could say you could review my posts to prove this but I wouldn't expect you to do that because it wouldn't serve your preconceived notion about who and what I am, which is based on your umbrage at my criticisng the Board as much as I do.

Maybe if we all had taken this as seriously even obsessively if you like as I do, Arsenal wouldn''t be trophyless for six years now with next year looking like a step backward far more than a step forward right now.

So censorship is the way then forced imposition of editorial standards them?

You shouldn't even joke about such things because I'll bet its happened to you at soome point some where in some discussion and that you didn't appreciate it one bit then, just as i don't now.

Though what I really don't appreciate is how my words are mis-represented and even ignored by those who feel such great need to criticize them then expect me to take their words 100% seriously and to never impugn them or their motives they way they do me based on things I never actually said or they never actually read.

Im going to come back to my earlier post and im going to show you how you could have posted that in a much more readable way:

Why are you trying to censor me?

You shouldn't even joke about censorship because im sure you wouldnt like it done to you.

However, what really fucks me off is people mis-representing my views and ignoring my posts. They then think they have the right, after misrepresenting me in the first place, to trash what i say and never expect me to apply the same treatment back to them.

You're welcome

I now know why twitter limits the number of characters per post.

I suggest that any posts over 200 words long should be automatically dumped in a special "sticky" thread. In the Further Discussion section.

It mightn't be a bad idea. We may have to look at asking Rob or Kev if it is possible to limit the number of words/characters per post as some of these fucking Board posts are just getting out of hand. Unfortunately I think it would have to be across the whole forum and not just USMartin's posts because that would be censoring him and I can't support singling one person out for censoring (even if that person is the main culprit!).

Also, my freedom of expression nerve is tingling like a spastic cat on a hot iron at the thought of it. But fuck me, we need to do something.
