So called "civilised people"

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Here we go, for Gav in particular... Taken from http://www.ready2go.net/ftmx/views/messages.htm

HERE Is what you were all like until you realised we were watching you

-------------

We seem to have attracted the attentions of the lowlife on the RTG site, who have this idea that half of the threads on this BBS are "bitter & twisted ones about Safc" and the odd dozen about RTG. I just thought I'd make them feel better and start a thread about them, it would be a shame if they were 100% wrong.

RTG? Safc? Who?

-- Ciara, March 22, 2001.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAFC = Sunderland Association Football Club, or the Mackems to the rest of us. RTG is a Sunderland Bulleting Bored.

WARNING: The bastards will spam you if you put your e-mail on this thread! The few maKkem Wear Hillsiders(mainly RTG staff who all have at least 4 seperate monickers) on RTG have finally stopped trying hard (like posing as NUFC fans) to get us to make the Strawberry our regular message board - they have at last realised we will not be a little controlled section of RTG. And now -just like a dog who is the result of inbreeding- they respond with anger and frustration at not getting their bone. They just dont learn, they are not capable, they are pure valley mackems

I've still not been allowed back on their site since I mocked a "Nunez accuses Reid of Racism" article on Sporting Life, with a "Nunez accuses Pope of Catholicism" piece. Even I thought it was quite good, no, banned.

-- macbeth, March 22, 2001.

Ignore them. If most of the RTG is about slagging us off and we barely mention them - who then holds the high moral ground? Leave them alone. Studied indifference is the ULTIMATE put down.

-- Jonno, March 22, 2001.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So sorry to disagree with a BBS icon like yourself Jonno, but the ultimate put-down to a mackem would be to finish one point above them in the PL this year, next year, the year aft.........

Seems their getting even more paranoid than usual over there. Posted a bit of a wind-up earlier under my usual mackem shit-stirrer name and a couple of them took the bait. However, once the banter started the RTG administrator's blocked my postings and started flagging up some anti-mag stuff under my name. Nazi Bastards. Didn't Hitler do something similar? Controlling the media and all that?

Yes, it's very interesting Dave. Compare their closed-minded approach with the concensus view on here yesterday on my "do we want Toon management on here?" thread - which was strongly against any censorship or exclusion. You must have astrong stomach delving onto that particular site mind you - it's bloody awful. However, I dare say the 'knuckle-scrapers' probably think it's the peak of sophistication and chic!

-- clarky, November 16, 2000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps the reason that this board is a bit quiet is the fact that half of us are looking in to see what the enemy are doing at RTG. If we win on Saturday it'll be even worse as we'll all be over there winding the SMB's up.

-- Rik, November 16, 2000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to mention that I just visited the RTG site. Although I promised I would never go to that place I couldn't resist and I managed to wind one of them up. Almost worth it just for the laugh factor. They do seem to be really upset about something.

I'VE BEEN BANNED FROM THE RTG!!!!!!!!!! I posted a non to complimentary but non the less totally inoffensive piece on the board....through a slight drunken haze it has to be said and as the title and name run side by side I called the piece 'I Am A Makem Hater' and composed it under the name of 'I'll Hate them all My Life'

Well, I simply asked if there was any chance that they might actually win a match this century, suggested that they has pots to toss into, that they had a sexual liking for their sisters, and that there was a definite 'Deliverence' look about some of them.....when I looked this morning, there were a 'few' responses, and among them were threats of violence and the usual high amount of foul and abusive language.

I had expected such a reponse, so when I went to post an 'Oh touchy touchy' response, I was told that I couldn't post from that PC any longer as I had been banned.

They reall ought to get out more and smell the coffee....they can't stand criticism (!) but when they throw it back, particularly some little tw@t called krist....they don't do a thing about it.

-- ITK, March 19, 2000.

I've been lurking there for a couple of days now and the postings are getting more and more pessimistic each day. What with Phillips complaining in the press, they're on a real downer. Derby on Saturday a must win game for them, come on Bald Eagle do that magic. It feels like being a Sunderland fan again. After the pre season optimism last year then the brilliant start I really believed things were changing - the fans, the stadium, money to spend. But since Christmas it seems to have evaporated. Sadly now I expect to lose and to see a poor performance and am seldom 'dissapointed' - isn't this the Butcher/Crosby/Buxton/McM*****y years revisited?

I found this on an American site, "Liam for the Mackems"?

Not that anybody needs to know this, but super-secret sources have revealed that Oasis goon Liam Gallagher's ass is covered in thick, matted fur. Apparently, Liam's hirsute hindquarters are a legend amongst British music industry insiders. Even Posh Fucking Spice has gone on record about them, at one point telling a journalist: "his bum is disgusting." No wonder Liam's brother - the equally repellant Noel - calls him the MONKEY BOY! Kind of makes you wonder how such a freakish, talentless, mongoloid, unibrow-sporting half-wit could climb so far up the ladder of success in the first place, don't it?

-- Bud Wiser, August 21, 2000

Oh BTW, I quite like Oasis music. And, at least the Gallagher's support Man. City, like most Mancunians! ;- Take a look on RTG. Message left by Community Bob. AKA me.

I don't have a problem anymore I've been banned.......3 TIMES..... I took the p*ss one night at home in a drunken stupour and the next morning when I looked there was a whole tirade of abuse posted back, and when I went in to say touchy touchy, they had blocked my the IP address on my home PC.

THAT MADE ME MAD....so I started on a whole load of juvenile stuff at work.....now their favourite phrases are 2-1 or FTM referring to the score at SJP and f*ck the mags, well......I ONLY wanted to point out that those phrases didn't hurt us, so I typed them in, did a copy and then pasted the phrases about 200 times on each posting......it didn't half slow up their system and wind them up......they eventually blocked my work PC....so I moved desk until they banned that one as well....at that point I started to get bored, and as I am due a new PC soon, I have left off posting on it........I mean....I'm in an office with over 150 PC's so I wouldn't have a problem if I really wanted to carry on.

When they ban you, they ask that you send them an E Mail stating why you think you should be unbanned, so I did, and they didn't reply, so I sent it again and they still didn't reply, so I sent it again and when they didn't reply that time, I decided to play really dirty and I sent them the same E Mail 35 times one afternoon......thinking then that they probably just set an automatic delete on the sender (London Toon Army) I set up another E Mail called Monkey Heed and started sending it from there, they still didn't reply so I set up a third one (persistant b@st@rd aren't I) to look as though it came from Peter Reid, but suprise suprise....they still ignored me.....now I don't normally hold a grudge, but this is getting personal....I WILL exact my revenge, I promise....and I will let you know the outcome.

Oh dear....the games some children play eh......you would have thought I would have grown up by now wouldn't you!

-- ITK, April 03, 2000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Nick (or Bob)- Just read your missive over there, and the problem with that kind of posting is....it is so very obviously from a Magpie.....

You make no threats and use no bad language.....but even the simplest of wind ups like that will ellicit streams of abuse, bad language and threats coming back, but it will be YOU that gets banned.

Believe me they are REALLY THAT PETTY.....the administrators really are sad head me deads who can not bear that their beloved red 'n' white sh*te is being made fun of. You would have thought that with Monkey Heed in charge and now two of the Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz as their attack they would have learned to get used to it wouldn't you.....

They can take the mick out of YBR about his age....and regularly do, but you go for them and wallop, you are the one blocked out.

So your point is that 7 or so people from here posted on RTG over a year ago (A few others lurked). A couple I've never heard of and one is no longer with us. Fascinating Stuff. I didn't see anyone saying they were posting abuse btw - mainly wind-ups. I have no problem with the wind-ups on here (Roly, SK, ML3 etc.) I even enjoy some of the postings. Just try to keep them civil and there's no problem. It would be nice if you could keep off our match day threads, though I expect one or two might visit yours tonight.

For heaven's sake man, what sort of life have you got that you spend time trawling the archives of this bbs to come up with that? How long did it take you?

And why, if you are so proud of what you have discovered, can't you come out from behind your daft nom de plume and tell us who you are so we can give due praise for your efforts.

Come on Barbarian, if you don't understand what this board is about, just go back to the RTG and stop trying to muck ours up. You may have noticed that most of the people on this bbs are grown ups and behave as such most of the time (Rik is excluded from the last statement). If you want to come on here are talk about footie you're welcome. If you just want to come on and make trouble anonymously I'm afraid you're not.

Well I'm pleased with my contribution there. (ie ignore RTG) I've maintained a consistent view on this.

Perhaps Barbarian chose his name from one of my posts recently where I mentioned "Civilisation vs Barbarians." If so, I'd just like to point out Barbie that I think there are civilised and barbarian Magpies as well as civilised and barbarian Mackems. I'd like the civilised Magpies and the civilised Mackems to boot out the barbarians (despite your chosen name I'm not sure yet which category you're in) from our game and start behaving like decent people. Whenever I have lived in exile from Geordieland, I was always pleased to meet someone from Sunderland and considered them as being from home as near as damn it.

So Barbie, as far as I'm concerned there is a welcome here for all friendly Mackems and I disapprove in equal measure of wind up merchants and abusers from here on there or from there on here. I've visited RTG just twice, and felt that there would be little point in trying to advance this view in that forum. :-)

Peace

Mr Barbarian. First of all can I point out that I am neither a retard nor a moron. Secondly can I also point out that I know exactly where these posts came from - they were originally posted on this bbs so someone (obviously you don't wish to take the credit for this) has either trawled through the archive on this site to find them or has been conscientiously saving them up as they went along. Whoever has done it has anorak tendencies you must admit and must have a rather limited social life! Can I also point out that despite being a moron and a retard in your opinion, my name does not appear in any of the long list of postings you have put above.

And regarding you selective quote from my post, you have conveniently missed out the bit that said: "If you want to come on here are talk about footie you're welcome." The fact that you chose to ignore that tells me all I need to know about your real purpose at the moment.

You might also like to explain why you chose to be informed by email of any responses to this thread then provided a phantom email address which led to my post being returned as undeliverable.

Can I politely request that you be a little more civil if you wish to reply to this posting.

Jonno, don't you realize this is the same slime that came on here last night and posted false scores on the match thread. He has also gone back to the RTG and posted my email address on there so I can be spammed by the whole RTG.

I have time for soops, ml3, roly and any other makem that comes on here and offers something, anything even, but this spacewaster does nothing but incite abuse.

-- Anonymous, August 22, 2001


I'm confused. Don't the Mackems have a match tonight? Why are they on the forum of a team that's not only not playing, but isnt' playing them right now? And why are they taking old postings from this forum, forwarding them to another list without permission(very bad netiquette, btw. Shame on you.), then forwarding them back here?

Maybe it's just me, but when NUFC is playing, I don't care to be anywhere but on a matchday thread with other NUFC supporters, or reading a site with text commentary about our match. Are all supporters of other teams like this? Or just certain ones?

Clarky's right, Syme. Honestly the nonsense posted on the match thread didn't faze me a bit. If it's not from a regular, known poster, ignore it. The guy didn't even try to pretend he wasn't a mackem, so why think anything he'd post is true. Wishful thinking or even a bit of clairvoyance perhaps. ;-)

Though I am serious in wondering what kind of person feels the need to copy our posts to another forum against all accepted netiquette, and then come on here to try to change the nature of this forum. Boggles my mind, but then I've got so many other things in my life to worry about right now, that trying to figure out the psychology of a rival team's supporters is not even on the list. All most of this lot are doing is confirming a negative stereotype to me. Just ignore the idiots and only respond to those with something constructive to contribute.

Can I be a bit contentious here and side with Barbarian - my name was included on the list of shame and yes, 10 months ago I went over to RTG to 'shit stir', maybe I was bored, maybe I'd been successfully wound up somewhere else by a mackem, dunno, can't remember, but on reflection I wish I hadn't bothered. Posting mis-information on another fan's forum just to get a reaction is both childish and time- consuming and ultimately all it succeeds in doing is increasing the feelings of antipathy that already exist between the 2 sets of fans. I suppose this only really hit home however once the mackems started invading Greenspun (as Barbarian pointed out - there's no point dishing it out if we can't take it). We all welcome intelligent mackem contribution on this BB - brightens up the place immeasurably - and I'm sure most mackems would appreciate reciprocal postings from mags on RTG, but if it deteriates to name-calling then it's just bloody pointless. Don't get me wrong, I'm no mackem lover, I was at Craven Cottage last night and enjoyed their humiliation immensely and I pray to God we stuff them on Sunday. But in this case I think Barbarian's deffo got a point.

I think he's got a point as well but if what Syme is saying is true then that's a different matter....you shouldn't be subjected to loads of crappy e-mail abuse....

Thankyou for that DSS my son. Say three "Hail Shearers" and don't do it again.

Back in April we had a pile of not nice postings from a Sunderland supporter. These were not nice, seemed to be aimed at being abusive rather than even just winding up. I (and a couple of other regulars on here) spent ages trying to chase the IP address of the guilty party. Eventually they went away.

Subsequent to that ML3, Roly and others have come and posted, from different IP addresses. The Barbie postings are a return from the April person. One of the IP addreses used by Barbie matches with SK, OML, Vicar, FTM, and Reverend Greenspun.

Now why doesn't that surprise me Macbeth - except maybe SK 'cos he's been OK lately.

I think it's a Freeserve connection so there maybe more than one person doing it. Maybe

Still it'd be dead easy to report that IP for abuse....however you have to be CERTAIN that they are the person who's been posting Syme's mail address to cause trouble...it would've been better if it was a work connection...

One? So what, dont you know how ISP No#s work? I do. I didnt post anythin on the Rtg link last night (started by someone pretending to be me)

DSS has got a point, big respect to the lad, and Jonno, i however find macbeths 'hollier than thou' stance a bit pathetic considering what he has done on RTG in the past. (Which will be now forgotten thanks to the fact youve reacted SO 'ott' to my presence, EG calling me a "Barbarian" for f#cks sake! lol)

Lookforward to chatting to you all, bye!
