Happy new year!



I'm not generally a fan of Sam Newman's style. Each to their own. But I liken him to where Thom Yorke sits in the world of music. Sam's years of media mastery and standing with the general footy fan allows him to transcend the bottom-feeders of the media, with no personality, who rely on their master, the AFL, to give them oxygen. Thom Yorke has transcended the mundanity of mainstream music to be able to create in his own way, without fear of failure. Thankfully, Sam is his own man in the media and can tell it how it is, in his own creative way. Kudos to him... and Thom...

If Hird wanted to scare a few people he could subpoena Big Internet (or whatever its called) for IP addresses of various posters, even if he had no intention of actually suing them I imagine a few individuals would pipe down real quick.
Remember to include his three Anzac Day Medals when mentioning his name or Jimmy might just take you to court.

Pretentious ******y over a couple of pretentious ******s.
What complete garbage. Searched the quote in the hope that if it was a bay poster I could use #impunity to tear them a new one here. Sadly no. :(

F*** me the stupidity in that comment makes me want to vomit.

Carlscum could have Baby Jesus as coach and still would not win with their present list.
Well let's face it. Baby Jesus was not raised in a football state and therefore unlikely to be able to prepare the training drills. Would be a hit at the press conferences though. 'So Son of God, what went wrong in the third quarter'.

In the early days, expressing some doubts about hird was reasonable and understandable. Now that we know a lot more, i believe anyone slandering Hird should get a permanent ban. Anyone defending him is following the rule of logic and the law. I never saw her posts, but if she was banned for being personally abusive towards people slandering a man who who has been illegally vilified, then it seems the world has gone mad. Why is okay to attack Hird on HTB, but not okay to attack manifestly abusive posters? The logic i guess is that Hird is not a presence here so is not directly affected by personal attacks. Scratch the surface of that statement though and as others have noted, defamation online is a prosecutable offence. Why? Because it materially damages a persons reputation whether they see it or not!
At the end of the day, the forum contains all sorts of attacks on just about everybody in the AFL, so banning people who do that is unrealistic. Far easier to ban an individual caught on the wrong side of the equation. As a result we have a forum full of people free to stand on their soap box slandering everyone under the sun except other posters. It's not a good thing, it's not a fair thing, but it is what it is.
Hahaha brilliant melt. Amstaff would be proud. **** you everyone who doesn't follow the rules of logic and the law!
