Nice!! 2 posters now, can add your over reaction to the list!

My point was not all Carlton posters do this but opposition posters starting threads like this on other boards is a way to stir up emnity.

Really? Were you diagnosed genius at birth or is that a purple thing? Any other rippers like that one?

Not at birth but later in life. Better than not at all.

I like how you proudly carry the torch in unbeknownst support of the position I am taking. If it is possible for you to follow what I am saying through another step you might realise that starting a thread such as this, then Carlton supporters whinging about their treatment on it is pretty laughable.

Only one post on this thread did an admirable job at keeping on target a lot of the rest has been bemoaning the sorry state of affairs on this site for poor old Carlton supporters, when they are guilty of the same.

So to clarify for you because it's obviously necessary its an AFL website opposition supporters troll each other its like an endless cycle, worry about your own conduct and you will create less backlash from other teams supporters.

Re: Opposition obsession thread

Well said.

I really have to question the thinking behind this thread, sure your getting trolled a lot, sure their is a reaffirmed hatred of carlton being displayed, but do you really think that this thread is going to stop that?

I think it will only make other supporters laugh at you more. Just my 2 cents.

Must be a cheap room halfway between you two where you can continue this mutual fellating. Save us having to read your pointless, futile placating.

Lol. You say so little about the subject yet so much about your ability to contribute. I think the points are valid and I have no intention to pointlessly attack you.

You have a right to disagree though Im not sure if you have directly done that yet, just increase your delicious irony point score. "Quick they are saying things on our board! Attack!!!!!!!!".

To post on an AFL board which is why I became a member of this forum. I guess the above posts whooshed straight over your head then? So much for me being master of the obvious. My work here is done I'm off, nice chatting I really don't want to cause any trouble. Peace.

Re: Opposition obsession thread

To the recent interlopers, if you had taken the time to read the opening post, you will know that the purpose of this thread was to keep the natives in here returning fire to some of the plethora of obsessed opposition supporters instead of returning fire out there and getting themselves carded with monotonous regularity. We control this domain. I was seeing a lot of our guys baited and punished for retaliation while some real fanciful and repetitive myths out there were left intact. The thread isn't here for us to have a whinge. It is here so we know exactly who is full of crap out there and to store their little contentions away.

We know we are going to get trolled and despite your assertions, it has nothing to do with what our supporters put out on other boards. In the majority of cases, even the ones that are trolling other clubs had just had enough of taking it all the time, so just decided to fight fire with fire.

I am sure Bay 13ers will have a laugh about it but really it just shows that they are watching and that it is one thread that they can not enter and derail en masse as they do not control this environment.

For someone to enter this thread and point to trolling by any Carlton posters on another board as being the reason why Carlton supporters cop it so much on BigFooty, simply highlights a lack of awareness of what is around them. Carlton will be trolled unmercifully regardless of whether we comment or not and have done for years. They are a hated club for many reasons, and years of sound logic being totally ignored have told me this will not change.

Many many groups of fans on BF have been incredibly arrogant so that is not a reason. You might find a couple of teams hate Hawthorn so their supporters might seek them out, the same with the Eagles, the Saints etc, but everyone hates Carlton and Collingwood but with Carlton we have a recent lack of success, Visy, Pratt, salary cap issues etc, to keep people entertained for hours.

Nooo, this thread is not here to be all insular and have a sook. It is here as a watchdog, to record the idiocy of some posters for all time, it is here to get up their nose that they can't do anything about the thread, can't delete it, can't hit it with inane ramblings in numbers, can't refute anything with nonsense. If they want to come in and defend themselves, they have to do so articulately. That challenges a few to come out of their comfort zone for sure.

Play by numbers, you say to worry about our own conduct to create less backlash. In your 12 months as a registered user, have you noticed endless Dick Pratt/Visy threads, endless threads about how we must be cheating the cap again, endless threads about chasing players? Every single thread turns into a 'cheats, tankers etc' shitfight. No amount of reasoning, explanations or articulate argument i.e decent conduct has done one thing to change any of those threads. There has not been ONE single thread on a board outside of the Carlton board, where our culture has not been denigrated, whether it just be signing Robert Harvey, re-signing Fev, building new facilities, looking at international rookies, you name it. Every single issue involving the Carlton Football Club, an aspect of our past is weaved into it to make it be considered on topic. This is regardless of our conduct within those threads.

I'm sorry but you only see what you want to see and you are sadly mistaken in your theories.

This is no whingefest, this is calculated storing away in the memory banks.

We decided quite a while ago that nobody was interested in the truth about Carlton issues so we would accept the vitriol and turn it to our advantage. In a sense, I am not sure you guys are in here to provide some helpful advice. You are in here because this thread is a little irking and insulting to others and its existence makes you incredulous ... probably the same way the repetitive childish derailing of every Carlton thread elsewhere does.

I think we will keep it for the moment.

I never criticised the original OP quite the opposite but as you stated earlier many Carlton posters could not keep to the subject and failed to meet the criteria for posting in the thread.

I am not a troll though occasionally I do enjoy shit stirring other posters. In this case I have to respectfully disagree. I actually like CFC, am a fan of Fev and enjoy watching your matches.

In the last couple of days rediculous and quite lame trolling by a couple of Carlton trolls has stirred up in me a sense of emnity towards CFC posters. I could quite easily have started flaming them creating rediculous CFC threads but chose not to. Some don't. I stand by what I said about trolling existing normally but some people have to take responsibility for their posting and realise that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

It is an admirable reason why you started this thread and I wholeheartedly endorse your intentions(not that my opinion matters) but some times it is also important to take a firm hand and lead by example(not directly intended at you but some CFC posters).

WC fans should be the last team that can be accused of as not being sympathetic to your plight due to the amount of abuse and trolling it's posters have copped. But others complain about this also and to state CFC as a special case will appear to some as evidence of a persecution complex.

Once again it is a slight difference of opinion, I am on your board and mean no disrespect just that whilst monitoring serial Carlton attackers please be equally as mindful of your own repeat offenders. Otherwise the thread is a great idea and I didn;t mean to seem like I was misinterpreting all of your intentions.

Re: Opposition obsession thread

Carlton supporters that troll elsewhere are a pain the posterior I assure you. Often they light the flame and leave the reasonable posters to cop the fallout. You know, I don't troll other teams, yet half the time the responses I receive to offer defences or explanations for things we are accused of, totally ignore anything I have to say and resort to incredibly ignorant and immature retorts. A decent conversation regarding Carlton can not be had on BigFooty, except for the few discussion threads I have started on this board, where some opposition supporters have been respectful and honest regarding some of our issues.

Threads like this are always going to go off the rails here and there, but you know, I would rather some of the posters we would rather keep around, responded in here rather than go out there and get red carded. If it gets too nasty in here, I will clean it up.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Kewl. Point taken.

Sorry buddy I didn't mean to contribute to the de-railing of this thread. I have posted on here before both seriously and with good intent, even defending one of your players.

I really intended to respect the boundaries and hope any posting I make on this board in the future can as you say be considered respectful and honest reguarding Carlton as I don't want to contribute to the problem.

Re: Opposition obsession thread

Sigh, again with the deletions. I do NOT want further comment about posters and whether they are liked or have a life or anything like that. Do not push your agendas. This is an easy reference to obsessive anti-Carlton trolling that we can refer to later OR discuss safely in here. You still can't get personal.

If you couldn't see how this thread would end up then you are very foolish. You've basically given people a reason to vent and being BF they were always going to be throwing in cheap little comments.

Glad to see you're well humoured bombaboy. I've actually had no end of fun on this forum over the past 48 hours blowing the wind right up any number of pathetic, bile-filled little Carlton-hating hypocrites.

Love my club and terribly proud of our grand 144 year history. Simply reached a point that a number of the jealous and unhappy tosspots around this forum of late - spreading rubbish and lies about our club - deserve swift, honest and, on occasion, terribly forthright replies. Throwing their opinions and their sh!t right back in their faces.

Honestly though my friend your opinion is pretty much irrelevant to me.
