I need your help peeps.

I lurked on BF for quite some years before signing up twelve years ago.

Once I did sign up, I mostly confined myself to this board, occasionally nipping over to the MB.

The MB racist pile-on onto Adam Goodes during the booing disgrace was a truly dismaying time to be on there, but I stood up for Goodesy, survived the onslaught, and since then it had been mostly OK.

Then a few years ago, bored during the off-season, I ventured onto the main board Society, Religion and Politics threads. I found all manner of interesting and stimulating discussion there. (Bewilderingly, I even sometimes found myself in furious agreement on non-football matters with some Hawthorn supporters.)

But it also gets very ugly and disappointing on there at times. There’s one poster (who is actually an admin! - so you can't block them) who, though I suspect I align with on many things politically, represents to me everything bad about the side of us human beings that social media brings out.

It all came to a head about the same time I had a brush with my own mortality, which, as is often the case, caused me to re-evaluate my priorities.

I realised BF was giving me more grief than pleasure, and I signed out. And I felt good.

Since then, until recently, I've lurked, felt much better about things, and easily resisted the temptation to sign on and comment.

But then recently I signed back on, simply because that makes navigation round the pages so much easier (as the site then remembers what point you were up to in various threads etc.)

Also, by not signing in, I was having to read posts by a few people that I’d put on Ignore, and that was hard to cop sometimes. There's a few real jerks, frankly. Signing on meant I didn't have to see that crap, and plus I was sticking purely to football-related threads anyway.

All good, but of course you know where this is going …

Trump’s recent guilty verdict was just TOO delicious. I just HAD to see what people were saying over on the Trump thread. And it was very entertaining.

And then I posted a comment or two.

And I Liked a comment or two.

Did the same with the MB footy threads.

I’m slipping back into old habits, and I don't like where that took me last time.

So far, I haven't gotten into idiotic arguments with anonymous idiots on the internet, who think I'm also an idiot. Yet.

But it will happen.

I need your support, good people of the Swans board.

Please say to me:

Sydney Swans say don't be a dickhead to yourself SBD. STAY OFF THE MAIN BOARD SBD. STAY OFF THE SRP THREADS SBD.

Thanks in advance. All the best to you wonderful lot.

Also you might be able to ask a Super Mod to ban you from the board, pre-emptively so you aren't tempted into old habbits

generally, i feel that way more and more about the real world ... the dckheads on the internet are out there ... in "real time", as the tech kids say ...
i struggle meeting new people and am very careful getting into conversations because i don't want to hear their outrageously ignorant and wrong thoughts and opinions, and the trump thing is a very big flashpoint ... as is anything to do with dismissing climate change
i still have trouble accepting not all swans fans think as i do ... but they're wrong, so i can live with it
hang in there, mate ... when i see your avatar i know i'm going to enjoy the post, even if i (very occasionally) don't agree with it ... but in those rare moments i know you're wrong, so i can live with it

Just keep remembering SBD that we love you and we support the greatest sporting team in the history of the planet and whenever you feel tempted to visit any other site, sit back and bask in that ambiance!

I am very much in the same boat so I have been posting less and less. Bigfooty is just not as enjoyable as it used to be.

Don't be a dickhead!
 
SBD. You are a wonderful poster and anything but an idiot. If I can give up smoking after 40+ years YOU CAN GIVE UP THE MAIN AND SRP BOARDS. DON'T DO IT. 😉
Thanks Chris. Funnily I found smoking easier to quit than idiot discussion on the SRP threads, but I appreciate your point!
