Group’s been paused for new comments. I wonder how Dave will do his statements now.

My hope ..probably way too over optimistic…stadium becomes supporter owned and supporters / observers / journalists that may justifiably raise concerns and ask legitimate questions of future owners are not systemically insulted and abused over a long period of time. If that can happen, we may have a more positive future. Accusing supporters of posting things they haven’t and doing things they haven’t, certainly isn’t on.

Certainly is milder. The abuse on Twitter and Facebook also means a large section of the supporter base may well wonder what all the fuss and complaints are about, having not witnessed the burner accounts, doxxing, privacy breaches etc

I can see where Facebook and twitter has an advantage in that they don’t have thread titles so the awful dogs abuse aimed at us isn’t highlighted as much. This thread is mild by comparison in it’s actual content.
I have to agree with this. We all have opinions and they can be passionately expressed, and occasionally the wording can be ill thought out. But on here I’ve rarely seen the abusive and aggressive tone there has been on the Facebook page in recent times.

I get the feeling that somehow ..and there has been a glimpse of it that was retracted .. pleas for an avoidance of tit for tat and any appearance of stooping to ‘juveniles’ level will be interpreted as being on ‘ t’other side.’
Whilst the title of this thread remains and posts like Rene’s .. ‘repugnant taste’ .. remain then I’m not too likely to see the Bru as being elevated as far up the moral high ground as we should be.3 users thanked author for this post.
It’s really simple, imho. Don’t slag anyone off at a personal level. Ask questions or make your point in a way that shows decency. And if you have concerns about the current owner and the current situation, it is 100% legitimate to have them – it goes with the territory of being a supporter. But be as careful as you can be when putting them across.
I don’t think it’s any more complicated than that. But there are always people looking for a fight, though, or who are unable to accept anyone else’s reality – and actual reality – if it is different to theirs.

Apologies if I’ve offended the hyper sensitive.2 users thanked author for this post.
It’s all becoming a tad too WOKE for us old guys who are used to calling a spade a manual agricultural tool for the removal of or digging of soil.

If you can just change the title, what about DH Happy Clappers site?

I am pleased Deerey changed the title to something more respectful.
I get concerns from JI about keeping civil no matter what. Two wrongs don’t make a right. It’s an emotional time and many will have said harsh words as a result, myself included. I am trying to bear that in mind after last fortnight’s drama. I do want there to be unity and I am pleased Hilton backers have realised the bans are out of order.
I realise many don’t use social media, so won’t have seen the comments on there. However, I think frustrations at abuse from Hilton fans there has bled into the reactions from some of us on here. There has been a laser focus on the behaviour of Hilton critics, but very little compared to the behaviour of those against us from some quarters, as burners gave death threats, doxxes and slander. Mostly from elsewhere; that Facebook group has fewer JIs calling for better behaviour. Hilton joined in with such slander and stoking division. His most ardent fans joined in and felt emboldened. Yet the comments on here has mostly been nothing more than concern, even if it is pervasive. That is not worthy of abuse. For there to be unity, it has to be both ways. I want to see less of the club killer accusations and character assassinations. I would like to see no I told you sos. Unfortunately I have seen some of that return since Monday, and if people are going to be cheering on bans because they don’t like the views of forum admin there won’t be unity. That wouldn’t be the fault of Hilton critics.
