Unlike Martin Hardie, I'll call truth when I see it.

Yeah, it makes Doss grumpy to be called out in public as a coward - but he's going to consistently make the call that now isnt the right time to make a move against the Hirdites.

Hopefully, the situation will resolve itself, and he can feel smug that what he wanted happened.

But that wont be because anything he did.

Au contraire, oh wise and ethical one, I really couldn't give a stuff if some keyboard warrior wants to label me a coward. Your opinion counts for precisely nothing so why would I give a damn what you think? Go right ahead, warrior, call me what you want.

It amuses me that you chastise me for my action, or inaction, or my lack of ethics and morals (despite never having met me, nor anyone who has as far as I'm aware), when you've spent the last 21 months churning out rant after rant, containing the same boring catch phrases, and that from that you've deluded yourself into thinking your barbs mean three fifths of anything in the context of what happens in this case in the real world.

Little clue; your words mean jack. Just like mine mean jack. :)

Difference is, I like to think I actually have some appreciation of my position and lack of importance in this whole debacle, unlike you and your self appointed throne you've hoisted yourself up on.

Now, get back to Googling and being all ethical.

Have you seen the posters on that thread. Would you want to mod those blokes. Seriously some of those essendon mods are actually doing a public service

Disagree. IMO ogg cat is possibly the only one who could be proud of his stance.....standing up and voicing his disapproval of the bloody mindedness of the board you have responsibility for. You haven't been representative of your boards stupidity but your lack of action (unlike ogg) to open the eyes of your boards posters is about to realise your own failings.

People can think what they want, vj. I'm not here to tell people how to think. I'm just here to frustrate stalker types like you. ;)

Also, again, like Ian you have an utterly over inflated sense of how important a board on BigFooty in the wider scheme of things. It's not.

IMO there is no denying bigfooty is representative of the general community, and certainly my short lived discussions on the streets around the essendon district confirm that, with the same tired arguments about other clubs, vendettas, caro, etc etc. dons fans should have had one and only one concern this last 21 months.
THE ESSENDON FOOTBALL CLUB. end of story. But instead they've been sucked into the game of bluff to protect the money men. And they STILL haven't recognized it.

I disagree - just about all Bombers fans I know want Hird gone and are disillusioned with the lies told by the club. One or two have read the Bombers board and can't believe some of the posts there.

I've found that the more informed the supporter, ie. prior to any of this people who's opinion I respected on footy, the more likely they are to want Hird to **** off. The more casual Essendon supporters I know are the ones who have jumped on the #standbyHird bandwagon hard.

BigFooty is not representative of the general community. Not everyone is a footy nut- most people on here are. It's not hard to understand.
Yes.
But,FigBooty is a fair representation of the greater footy community.
And that's all that really matters when footy issues are being discussed or mashed.

I'm not even sure about that. A lot of fans in the 'general footy community' are a lot more casual about following the game than a lot of people on here.

Denial

Seems a lot of people outside of Bigfooty that I have either spoken to or overheard view EFC in a very negative light.

Much like Bigfooty funnily enough

Gawd, the point I was making wasn't that hard to see was it?

Of course EFC is seen in a negative light in the broader footy community. A lot just don't care as intensely as they do on here.

Likewise, a lot of EFC supporters outside the BF fishbowl probably look at it all and say "well, I try not to follow it too much but what I hear in the media is that Essendon will move on better without Hird, so that's what it's got to be".

Whether that's true or not is not even the point, I'm just pointing out that it isn't as all consuming for all fans as the concentrated petri dish that is BF.

Channelling my inner fun nazi but cannot name essendon posters
^^This. We've already had to do something about this once, no more names.

Additionally, I think it's time to put the foot down on the mod sniping, no more of that shit in here. One more comment on the subject from IanW or vjknight (sorry dude but you've been playing with fire for awhile) and neither of you will read the thread again. :thumbsdown:
