I dont really agree with that. You should be able to say whatever you want whenever you want as long as its not racist or discriminative. Its your choice whether or not to abuse other teams or their supporters and as a footy fan you should be able to do that otherwise it'll just become boring. I dont agree with a lot of the stuff you've said, Joffa, but what you say is entirely upto you.
If you dont like him or anyone else, just ignore them.

Joffa attacked me
Joffa attacked my beloved club.

But he didnt do or say anything out rageous or totally offensive.
It was funny and I enjoyed the game.
He kept it within reason

His attacks on Dan were a bit much, but Dan called people idiots all the time and quite often lowers himself to personal abuses.
Yet he is still here
Easty said he hated gays but he is still here.

So I ask you
WTF is going on

 

[sbagman]

I've had bad experiences with being banned from another website, apparently they didn't like my attitude, etc etc, and anyone who knows me from this board knows that I am rarely offensive. It just goes to show how what some people will laugh at others will take offence at.

My personal opinion is that it is (or would be) a shame if Joffa is banned, as I think his personality is something footy needs. I understand that he may have gone overboard a few times, but I was never offended by what he wrote and I for one think BigFooty will be the poorer for his absence.

I hope you come back soon Joffa.

Cheers,
Sbagman.

People don't get ahead of yourselves, it was an unregistered person that started this thread, it could just be someone taking the piss. Wait & see if it is true, then we can take action. Let's face it, a lot of unregistered people come in here trying to cause trouble. If it is true, then I suggest we email bluey & ask the reason why?
Cheers

I considered that Sandie (sorry to leave you in chat by the way), but something tells me its Joffa... if someone has gone to the effort to write in his style and include his email address, they're pretty bored.

I hope its not true.

I dont think it was him. Hes always writes in CAPITALS why wasnt the first paragraph in CAPS?

 

[Daphne]

How ridiclous, I see the moderators used their authority on the Melbourne board over something Joffa said, I hope it doesnt stem from that.

 

[BUBBALOUIS]

Tell me its not so!!!! Joff come back mate, i hope this is a prank posting or just your warped sense of humour Joff, BigFooty wouldnt be the same without you, your a loudmouth boofhead Collingwood supporter, but i luv ya posts, always gives me a chuckle. If its true its a disgrace

 

[Darky]

Joffa, if indeed you have been banned I think all of Big Footy will want to know why.
You push the boundaries of taste a fair bit (you support Collingwood for thuck's sake), sometimes you go a little over the top even, but banning seems mighty harsh.
I hope you will still join us in the chat room (PS - sorry, I got the chop last night and couldn't get back in, was having problems most of last night with it).

I reckon it is Joffa because he's invited people to pre-match drinks at the Cricketers Arms.

Anyway Joffa, not much to add to what's been written above, but I hope you're back soon.

EVIDENTLY THOSE TWO LITTLE DEE GIRLS DIDN'T LIKE BEING REMINDED THAT THEY'RE JUST A COUPLE OF GROUPIES AND JOFFA IS A CELEBRITY.

THE TRUTH HURTS, HEY GIRLIES?

 

[The invisible mullet]

This does seem to be an overreaction...

Now we might get a bit of sanity back on this site

[lioness]

Joffa's been banned?? NO WAY. Damn, yes he does get a little over-excited about the Pies, but he does it in fun, and I personally laugh myself silly at his posts. Hey Joffa man, we still luv ya and we'll all be waiting till ya come back mate. Hang in there. Banning one of BigFooty's biggest characters isn't the greatest way of restoring order, IMO.

Well, everyone was happy when G4E got banned, but not everyone is all that happy that the same has happened to Joffa.

This says to me that:

1. People don't think he went as far as G4E with his abuse.
2. Some people do have thick skins.
3. Some people do share his sense of humour.

Cut the ban, let him come back on.

Could Bluey or one of the new moderators please confirm if this is true? Geez doesnt anyone have a sense of humour anymore! Bring Joff back!!! Joff if your reading this, tell us what you did and what you need to do to get back!!

 

[lioness]

Excellent post Shinners. In addition, I have to say I have found Joffa to be really sweet, he says all that crap but when you talk to him, he's actually a really great guy.

Drop the ban, let Joffa come back to us!!!

And besides who are we going to bag when Collingwood don't win a game in the first 9 rounds?

Like him or loathe him Joffa is passionate about the footy!!

Some people seem to be fairly thin skinned or on a power trip at the moment!!

Cheers

Dan24 does not deserve to be referred to as "Shitbags", nor does he deserve to be threatened with physical violence.

Shi.... I mean Dan has not been backward in coming forwards when it comes to throwing around abuse!!

Haven't seen the physical violence threats and if they are there Agree we can do without those!!

my 2 cents

The one I read were where the Pies fans invited him to sit with them in the cheersquad so they could show him some traditional Collingwood "hospitality"....so, that was clearly made with tongues firmly in cheek.

Other than that, I haven't read any serious threats of violence, but if any were posted, then yes, it is overstepping the mark.

My (rapidly devaluing) 2 cents.

Only my daddy is allowed to abuse me like that.

Okay, I have just been looking at the Dees board & it seems Joffa has been going over the top in there, I would say that is why he has been banned. We have all been warned about going to the team boards & posting abuse, if this is the case maybe if Joffa promises not to go into the opposition team boards again, Bluey might let him back.

We all get that I have been known to get upset with some of the idiots that come onto our board as well, but then I get upset when I go to the footy and dont like some of the things that opposition supporters say next to me as well, cant get them banned. As I was told once if you come in here then expect to get upset at some stage or other, if you cant take it stay away. this place just gets you in shape for the season. It aint nothing you are not going to hear at the footy. Get over it.
