THE PETITION IS UP AT GOPETITION NOW

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

There are tons of threads on here that I read but do not comment on

The thing is, with your threads, you have come onto a Forum and started multiple threads, and posted multiple times on existing threads.

On one subject.

If someone is pushing a certain subjective view, on the same subject, so intensely and so often, and an important subject at that, then people are not going to ignore it or let it go unchallenged.
No actually. Indeed you are defending frankly people who want it both ways.

The number of threads is irrelevnt and if anything would inspire a response more akin to the boy who cried wolf which is fact to say the threads would be ignored altogether if they simply tired of the subject matter. After all as you yourself acknowledge you don't have tto read anything you don't want to.

If for example and I'm tempting fate now - but some opened a "USMartin is a Twat" thread I would be totally at fault if I opened and read it and no one else. Even if they opened 100 such threads (Do NOT blame me if they do Mods just basement them or whatever). it wouldn't matter I would still have chosen to open a thread I knew would upset and offend me - or was intended to do so and choose to address it. I could not blame anyone else for that nor would I. Did I have a huge go at you about your poll? No. I opened it and saw it was not harmful - but even if it was, it was my fault if I was angered after opening it because I didn't have to.

The reason it is confronted every time isn't that its boring - no one has to read it. Its sheer opposition to posting those ideas and a desire to censor them but censors portraying themselves as the victims because then its easier to justify.

I am going to sign the petition USM but your argument with olgit is ridiculous. Are you seriously accusing him of being twattish because he opens threads he has an opinion on? If he disagrees with you he should stay away from your threads, is that right? Who on earth do you think you are? Would you stay away from praise the board threads? This is a forum which relies on debate to remain interesting.

For somebody whose aim depends upon collective action you are very argumentative. You are beginning to look like the guy at 1:36 in the following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS-0Az7dgRY

I have said before, you have turned an almost universal disatisfaction with board investment into a fractious debate.

I am glad to hear this, cheers for signing - but you mis-read my point.


I would never question anyone's right to open a thread they have an opinion on - not once or 100 or 1000 times. My point is to do and that then complain about about "having" to "go through" that process when they didn't have to but chose to is not in fact correct or entirely honest.

Look at your link - which I have not because it will probably annoy or offend me, either because its too far from - or too close to -the truth for my liking :lol: . Would I have a right to condemn you and complain to the moderators when in fact I could just ignore the link and not be offended or react angrily?

I would just add the fractious debate you correctly refer to isn't actually about the Board itself but how we should approach them - if at all, and how critical we should be in doing so. A subtle I know but important distinction for the sake of this discussion.

EDIT - I opened the link YOU SON OF A BITCH I WILL KILL YOU I WANT YOU BANNED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry I couldn't help myself - actually I love The Holy Grail Better but that was some good stuff - and as I feared a bit far from and close to the truth for me :lol:

Yes - he's used it several times I believe

Moe goes to everyone by the bar "Hungginkiss? Hugginkiss? I'm looking for Amanda HUGGINKISS?

I love that Moe never ever really catches on just like Charle Brown trying to kick the football

Hell I used that one on the phone a little while ago... :D

You have joined the Forum and started a number of similar threads in a short space of time.
Some people have ignored them, others have challenged you.

Do not be surprised about the challenges, because it appears as if you are trying to shove your opposition to the board down people's throats.

I could quote Bill S. Preston, Esq. or Ted - Theodore - Logan and say "most triumphant, dude" but I won't. The process is early yet and if by the time its time to submit this its still appropiate to do so I suspect there will be a few more signatures.

I'm ot sure anything would make me feel triumphant though, because that isn't what this is about, my personal anything save for my personbal concern for the club I love. That anyone signs this - actually signs it I mean Gnuey - is not about me but about their cioncern about the direction of Arsenal. Whehter you believe that is your choice but I know its true.

The lack of investment confuses and frustrates me but that is small change compared to the spectre of leveraged debt. I am glad you took the clip in my post in the nature it was intended. If I can contribute any further let me know by pm.

If I posted every day about how shit s***s are not one forum member would complain and you know it, just as you know if you are honest this is an attempt to censor but wiothout admitting it. You are just dishoinest to deny it.

People can respond as often as they want. Its complaining about ahving to do so that is the issue. Either they can ignore the threads or should confince their complaints to simply the views they object to not how often they are posted.

Like I say I could have complained to the Mods about your poll, but didn't because it would have been wrong to on general principle but also because I chose not to ignore it. Are you going to say I should have tried to get you banned if I were that egotistical or my sense of humor was turned off that day for being offended when I could have avoided the thread?

Thank you - I'll do so.

I would hope that if this petition had a positive impact it would be to clear up the confusion about the lack of investment along with the uncertainty about the future of the club's ownership as I also think the leveraged debt issue is a huge one.

I'll have to watch the whole movie again soon btw.... :D... thanks for reminding me of that :lol:
