For what exactly? How utterly farcical.

I do believe it was for being an unmercyful arse but I am open to correction on that.

No your correct.

Basically I warned that any politicisation of a Celtic FC forum request was going to earn a ban and I banned 4 users on the basis of not complying as I saw it.

Being banned from the 'Forums' forum!

And I thought a banning from TCN was bad.

Btw, just log out to view it.

A Celtic FC forum would be a bad idea IMO.

Post it in the right fecking thread then.;)

How utterly farcical.

Hah!

admiralofthefleet

i was banned from 'forums' also, i feel hard done by here.
i posted in the celtic forum request saying what sort of forums would probably be seen in the forum, i didnt know that what i said was politicising (i dont even know what politicising is). what i said wasnt my opinion, it was just what i think would be seen in the forum.
please unban me from 'forums' as i posted a request for a ten pin bowling forum and like to see its progress.
i apologise for my totally unintentional politicising

Blowfish

You can still see how your other request is getting on, just log out and view it.

Your request is doing fine, btw I sent you two PM's about the tenpin bowling forum request which you completely ignored, I suggested a couple of ways you could help support your own request but you don't seem to want the forum enough to take the suggestions on board. Ruu even made a suggestion in the forum request thread but you ignored that too

As for your ban, ecksor made it quite clear that any Celtic-political type talk would earn a ban yet you insisted on having your say! No other option but to ban you really.

Can you please point out where I mentioned anything polotics rela after your warning. It has me puzzled.

I think your last post was the decision maker.

If you are Irish why do you feel the need to 'support' Tottenham? How many real tottenham fans support Irish football?

ecksor

This little bit of soapboxing didn't really seem at all relevant to making a decision about whether or not we should have a Celtic FC forum anyway -> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=52406796&postcount=30

What is wrong that post exactly. And by real tottenham fans I mean people who are from the area of London where that club are from not the Oirish brigade.

I replied with my opinion as to why there shouldn't be a Sellthick forum, wheres the problem?

You seem to be having trouble understanding that a lot of Oirish people like watching the English Premiership. They also like talking about it.

The problem is that you're being an annoying preachy troll. FYI, there are boards.ie users that hail from Glasgow, if they wanted a Celtic forum (or Rangers) then your arguments would basically be null and void. Some of our users live in London even! Imagine that! There's a world outside of Ath-****ing-lone!

However, your arguments are null and void anyway. Exactly what makes you think that boards.ie is subscribing to your view that we should dictate to people who they can and cannot support? As you can see, we've catered for one non-Irish team so we clearly don't agree with you.

In summary, you were off-topic, trolling and / or soapboxing and it got caught in me cleaning up a thread that was going very quickly to pot despite my warning. Come back to me when I've forgotten all about it and I'll probably unban you then.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one, and it's usually full of crap.

I'm sure there is a world outside Athlone, seen as I have never been there. Clearly the request was not from a Glaswegian so such a situationn, as you described, is unrealistic dramatic and complete fallacy. My comments were not off topic. I would sincerely doubt the amount of Glaswegian posters on boards would merit a forum for any one of their football teams, likewise about the volume of Londoners:rolleyes: . Where did I claim that I thought boards were suscribing to my view? Only in Ireland would you get struck down for thinking clearly o such a topic, typical. It appears like the moderating philosiphy is , if I don't agree with you I ban you.

I don't have any issues with people watching english football, I myself ejoy watching some Spanish and european football, it is the people who think they 'support' an english club and do not support the LOI that bother me.

Exactly, you are arguing that there shouldn't be a forum, because they shouldn't be supporting the team in the first place.

Thats the equivalent of saying that you don't agree that there should be a Jazz & Blues forum, because you don't think people should be listening to Jazz & Blues. Its a ridiculous argument.

No it is not.There shouldn't be a Sellthick forum, Irish people should not be supporting a Scottish team, they should be supporting an Irish team. It is not the equivalent of your example, music and football are completely different things, such a comparacent serves no purpose.

Its a perfectly valid comparison. It's your opinion that Irish people shouldn't be supporting non-Irish teams. In reality, they can support whomever the hell they want, their opinion is perfectly valid too, and shouldn't be shot down just because you and you alone don't think its right.

Yes it is my opinion and yes there is nothing, legally, against 'supporting' foreign teams but I am far from being the only person who is of my opinion. It is a farcical comparassion btw, but what would you expect.
