I see it as one refusing to acknowledge the others opinion and refusing to back down while the other is trying to create a logical argument which I think a majority can see he created easily.
I didn't think Kane's lack of acknowledgement for sanders information as bad as you do. But each to their own.
 
As I mentioned before there was 1 post not towards me that clearly upset a poster & was borderline.

My comments on the belittling is more about his regular posting style, which sometimes deliberately sets out to get under the skin of posters. Is that healthy for this board? We have lost quality posters posting regularly due to this type of behavior. Is this what we want?
I see his regular posting style not that much different than this thread - but always open minded to have it pointed out as otherwise. I don't think he deliberately sets out to get under people's skins. That's an opinion. I've seen little evidence personally. Again happy to have it pointed out differently and learn from that.

Who have we lost? I'm not missing too many personally. Stiffy18 and Macca23 are two i would love to see more from - did they leave because of feeling overly criticised by Sanders? As much as I love those two I'd probably say they like to talk with a level of authority I don't feel is always justified. But I do enjoy what they post and would love to see more of them. I just assume they have busier things to occupy them. I missed you too when you were gone mate :) Very happy you're back posting regularly.

I'm all for verbal jousting and robust discussion - whoever said its a dying art is absolutely correct. But it needs to be above the belt - and a lot of stuff on here is below the belt - in other words it's as much about how you say it as what you say. A poster on another forum is brilliant - but what she says gets completely lost in how she says it - all everyone hears across the airwaves is hostile belittling, sarcasm. The moment she got the message that how she said things was important she got heard - really heard.

So to answer the what do I want question - I want other people to join us, love this Club as passionately as we all do, discuss all things Crows without fear or favour and join robust clever discussion where no-one feels the need to leave.
 
I strongly believe some don't even read the post. They base their responce on who posted it and then respond accordingly.

Either with a positive responce to a negative reply.

It comes back to a group cliche mentality where the post doesn't matter, a if yiou are in the 'cool group' - you will get a positive responce but if you are in the 'trouble maker' group, the responce will simply be a negative attract.

Just how I feel.
 
I've heard people doing that as well. Not to oust a wine snob to to see if some could simply tell the difference between pricy and cheap wine.
There was some story of that happening at an art exhibition. A few child's drawings thrown into the mix among the actual artists ones with the art critics waxing lyrical about the use of colour, light and hues...

Urban myth I'm sure but amusing nonetheless.

What's the expression.

I'm not an art critic but I know what I like and as long as someone likes it and buys it because thery like it - who gives a continental.
 
Who have we lost?
Not sure but the Adelaide board is the biggest on BigFooty (most total posts of any forum).

That doesn't necessarily mean the best but I'm fairly confident that there are enough good things going on to keep most people coming back.

With that volume of posts (and posters) there are bound to be a few that get under your skin.

It's not the size, it's how you use it.

if we didn't have kurt, patrick or alex, would we be last on the list?

No doubt this board is one of the best... But we should always be striving to make it better! :)

We do seem to court scandals as a club and as posters we can meltdown with the best of them
