Didn't you hear? There's been a post strike. Not everything is getting thru.

For those of you interested and I realise it is very few of you. Superkev contributed to the thread entitled "F%&k" which is based around the use of the f word and when it is acceptable.

Strangely Superkev took the opportunity to again lower the level and I felt it didn't really serve any purpose to leave his posting on. Those who did see his stylish prose will probably agree, those who missed out just take our word for it.

It's strange that we can have a week when we've had some good chat with the our makem friends but suddenly we have to go back to the gutter. I'm really keen to encourage those Sunderland supporters who come on for a chat, I'm also really keen to keep others who have other agendas well away.

Are you sure it is not 'cos i changed it to go against your football team? If someone had done the same to fit safc would you remove it?I dont think so.By the way you must know about the gutter as i believe that you are banned from rtg.How come Stew canel(rip) is treated as a hero for doing excactly the same on our boards yet i am made out to be a villian? Live by the sword, die by the sword.

C'mon superkev man, play the game.

I feel sure I speak for the majority on here in saying we are very happy for you to stay and contribute. Please understand, we really mean that.

The only thing we ask is that you control your language to some degree. That is the view of the majority of people using this board: that is our choice - just as the choice of RTG contributors is to leave it "no holds barred", ie. their decision.

We are not prudes, and the occasional curse is pefectly acceptable to provide impact to what you're saying. However, I was one who read your post this morning that was subsequently deleted - it contained 5 entirely gratuitous f***s in four lines. Frankly, I found it offensive, and undeserving of you.

So howay man, play the game - come on here by all means and let's have some banter; knock the Mags, defend your lot, whatever you want - but do it with just all little dignity.

It wasn't twisted to have a go at our team at all, it was just foul mouthed abuse.

Our little tea party likes to have a fairly sensible discussion on things. At these tea parties we welcome all guests. We just don't like ones who don't have the ability to construct a insult, never mind a discussion, without using the words fuck, piss and wanker as gratiuitously as you felt necessary to do.

Your friends have proven themselves to be excellent company this week, rise to the challenge too, and we'll be happy to have you around.

sorry Clarky, similar minded overlap !!

So macbeth when is a swear word not a swear word? Is it when it is not used against newcastle united? It's ok to curse but not at nufc,is that right? Its alright to take the rise out of the major of hirosima and millions of deaths but not to do the same about a player missing a penalty or about drunks attacking phone boxes! If you are going to play the high moral ground card you need to know how to do it fully.After all JFK getting shot was a worldwide tragedy,shearer missing a pen was not.

If you can't tell the difference yourself then there is no point even trying to explain.

A politicians answer if ever there was one. No come on you owe it to this board to explain why humourous postings involving the word f**k are allowed if they refer to world disasters,assasinations and millions of deaths but NOT allowed if they refer to missed penalties,vandalism and incontinent football managers.DO NOT BOTTLE ANSWERING THIS.

We don't have rules, as we all instinctively know what is right and what is wrong. We know what is humour and what is abuse. Setting out a list of rights and wrongs to help you to learn to live is not one of our tasks in life.

Spent 20 minutes discussing last night the title of this this thread, at our monthly football meeting , the rival village borrowed our 7 a side posts nine months ago but early this morning we got a result, they were returned , posts were coming home!!, great , watched Scottish Cup Final, logged on , too find our shift worker from Nissan has reported them missing again, Buff thanks you Kevin for your help, from the heart of my bottom .

I too read SK's post this morning. To be honest, I just ignored it. Hopefully we can get into some constructive discussion as mentioned elsewhere - I think SKP has a point to make and I would encourage his continued presence.

It's a bit like Lancaster Red was in the early days, especially when his "mate" Dancing Dave joined in. But as those of us who have met andy (and even fewer who have met DD), they are bothe decent chaps. They were brought up on abusive boards and simply assumed this one was of the same ilk. However, when they found different, they moderated their tone. I was particularly please to be asked for the p/w to this BBS by DD. He paid his respects and disappeared back to where he came from. And you know who told him about Ken? Lancaster Red.

So come on SKP, join in by all means, but take note of the "house rules". For what it's worth, if one of us came on here using the same tone about SAFC as you used about NUFC in this morning's post, I'd have treated it with exactly the same contempt as I did yours.

However, I can't let one final thing go. Whatever Ken Dixon did on RTG under the handle of Stew Canel was nowt to do with what he did on here as ITK. Ken played by the rules of RTG and don't you try to deny it. I knew Ken well, both in person and on this board. The tributes received here bear true reflection of the man.

RTG is not my style and that is why I rarely even visit never mind contribute. And for what it's worth, that's the same reason I never go to The Strawberry board. I like to think of these places like a pub. There are those I really enbjoy visiting and those which I would steer clear of. And if the landlord took offence to me in one of them, he'd be perfectly entitled to ask me to leave.

BTW - I think one of my contributions got deletede this morning too. Is Jesmond such an offensive pllace to have been born? I didn't have a lot of choice.

-- Anonymous, May 26, 2001

"J*sm*nd" - goodness gracious, how jolly dare you use that disgusting word on here? I for one took great offence by it's use in this public house, and must applaud the Lord High Chancellor for it's instant removal.
BTW, wor lass was born there too!

I think it is fairly obvious that i am posting under a false name,even to you lot.Just thought i would get a bit of payback for mag undercover abusers.If one of you can 'out'me correctly i will own up to my true identity.One of the posters on here was very close. adios.

-- Anonymous, May 26, 2001

Shock, horror. You're not really called Super Kev? Well, bonnie lad, as Angus would say, have I got news for you. MacBeth's not called MacBeth. I'm not called Screacher. Josh isn't called Josh. Pilgrim isn't called Pilgrim. And I don't think Softie's a Softie.

-- Anonymous, May 26, 2001

no,no,no. what i am saying is i have a regular name on the other boards and if ,as someone nearly has, can name me correctly i will then become myself.

Oh, you mean like Lancaster Red isn't always Lancaster Red. And Stew Canel wasn't Newcastle? Enjoy yourself SK.

Soopa, I'll have a guess at your first name: Chris?

I reckon his name is Brian.

-- Anonymous, May 27, 2001

I think it is closer to 1/2 Brain, Tony

Ah Gus, you mean Bra? Well, that's nearly half brain and he was called a tit on another thread.

-- Anonymous, May 28, 2001

So his full name must be Wonder Bra, as average bras are incapable of typing.

I bet he'd support that theory.
