Yep I do the same,i go in there for about ten mins read the vile dribble posts and fly the flag when I can.When im about to put my fist through my moniter I know its time to leave.
Yeh I know what you mean.
But I find I get some satisfaction from refuting their drivel with some clear logic. Otherwise they feed on each other's vitriol and just go off the deep end.
It's rather satisfying to tell them why AOD9604 is not endangering players' health, and then wait for the reply. When they get to the stage of abuse and assertions they can't support, you've had a victory, because readers of the thread can't avoid seeing the point. (Well actually they do a pretty good job of not seeing it, to be honest). They usually then go on about something else.
But yeah, it's important to keep it clear and logical. It upsets them no end when they can't get you in a slanging match (although sometimes I can't avoid a bit of a dig)

Yep, the cash rolling in from advertising revenue obviously has taken precedence over any sense of 'fair play' such a forum should promote.

EFC have much to answer for, but shame BF shame:thumbsdown:
On a internet forum occupied by nameless & faceless people.

Anonymity means all bets are off.

Probably a fair call, Bay-13 has that tongue in cheek tone to it. That sub forum is just pure malice.
Yep. Reading shit like "James Hird is pure unethical scum" and "I'd rather my child be coached by a paedophile than James Hird" is all that you need to know about the sub-board

This.

I can't get over how emotionally invested some of these guys are. Purely in the hope that we get seriously screwed over.

I'm honestly amazed how people can feel this way when they honestly have no idea what's happened.

If, when this is over, it comes out that we organised a doping regime with the full knowledge and approval of our coaching staff, then go crazy. Until then, you'd think you'd rein yourself in a touch just in case you make a total dick of yourself.

Who's alias account is Jab Watson?

Honestly, anything goes in the drugs sub forum, I don't know how anyone can be bothered defending us when its liter gated with bullshit left right and centre.

I'm so glad I don't spend time on that got tics board.. You would think its an "Essendon bashing only" forum with the lack of knowledge and rationality within that board.

To be honest, it's a pity BigFooty is even allowing the forum to stay open.

It's like collecting the biggest idiots in the world and putting them into one place and letting them go for each others throat.

I'll probably check in to this board every once in a while, but after the meltdown and the fun to be had there, I'll be visiting this site very rarely.

It is also annoying for those of us who think that there may be some dodgy stuff and want to find out about that. This is because of the vitriol and bile that comes out of their mouths just makes you defensive.

They also miss out on hearing things from Essendon posters who have some inside goss about the situation.

The hope with these forums is that people could openly share ideas, but with some respect. Unfortunately the internet has failed in this pursuit. In the end more and more people gravitate to groups that differ from themselves less and less.

herald sun article states that wada are considering if 4 drugs should be retrospectively banned.[a]can they do that ,and seriously can they do thato_O
And maybe take 3 Geelong flags away. Maybe the afl should take a few lions flags away too since they used IV drips which are now banned.
