Apologies to the regulars, I should have pulled the trigger on that idiot a long time ago but banning is always the last resort and I had hoped he could stop acting like a twat.
And before anyone says he was banned because he didn't fit in with the general Arteta not being good enough vibe, let me just say that is horseshit. I like to hear both sides of an argument and the likes of Nutty is a great example of that. He can put his point across without WUMing or abusing people. Pro Arteta posters are very welcome on here once they don't WUM. Same goes for anti Arteta posters.
I think it's time we maybe be less tolerant of the WUMs in general tbh.
Really piss poor banning him
And before I get the regular responses of if you don't like it etc etc I think you should remember that this forum is for followers of the Arsenal and I would bet my life with almost full confidence that well over 50 percent of Arsenal supporters would agree more with his opinions than those of the so called regulars on here and many posts with the silly name calling of manager & players would be considered wums and need instant banning from a forum pretending to represent Arsenal terraces of old when it is as faraway as possible from the reality
Do the decent thing and unblock him
Thats horseshit, mate. He was not banned for his opinions. No one here ever got banned for his opinions. He got banned for constant repeated WUMing.
I'd suggest before you fly in to defend the idiot you read every one of his posts from when he joined, as I unfortunately have had to. There is a very obvious pattern of him trying to ingratiate himself here as a genuine poster that quite quickly descends into constant posting to provoke a negative reaction. He constantly dodged questions after posting provocative statements, baited people, moved the goal posts, posted disingenuous responses, and provoked people.
Many of his posts were him simply insulting and having a pop at people and questioning their loyalty rather than debating the point they made.
He was warned twice and twice agreed to moderate his behaviour but like all WUMs he couldn't do that.
If it was something as silly as getting banned because of his opinions that go against the grain on here, both you and Nutty would have been banned years ago. But neither of you post to provoke or WUM people. See the difference?
Tbh I find it insulting that you are trying to portray me as having banned him because of his opinion.
Also if you were ever on the terraces of old you would know that along with supporting the team, almost every fan was at some point also complaining and abusing those same players and team that they supported!
