It's a common problem.I lasted 15 secs!
What a cunt!
It's a common problem.
Ain't it lovely when the sin bin works perfectly?
The line would become very blurry though. I like this non-censorship ting. Let's not let one knob ruin it for the rest of us.Should have been a perma ban really. That little cunt is an embarrassment to every spurs fan out there, to every football fan out there and to every human being out there. It's safe to say he feels safe making jokes about asians and the loss of lives behind his keyboard because frankly he know's he'd have 7 shades of shit kicked out of him were he to every speak like that in the real world.
I'm disappointed that it was only a sin bin though, as much as I love the freedom this board offers to it's fans, it needs to draw the line somewhere.

The easiest way to deal with people isn't to ban them (people can always register under a new name) but to ignore them. Someone joins as a Liverpool fan, dangles a tasty morsel on a fishing line and gets 10 bites a minute... if everyone just ignored the guy fishing for reactions then he would go somewhere else to catch, wouldn't he.
Don't rise to it and they'll leave of their own accord.
Good point. I'm sure that when (or if) he returns, members will recall the reason for the sin binning & deal with his posts accordingly. I have put him & Gibbsy on ignore in the hope that I don't have to look at their drivel any more.The line would become very blurry though. I like this non-censorship ting.

Personally, I think the freedom afforded to pricks like Justin to post his 'views' give him just enough rope to hang himself with... true colours and all that.Good point. I'm sure that when (or if) he returns, members will recall the reason for the sin binning & deal with his posts accordingly.
So a number of bin dippers are by no means blameless in this. The real tragedy is that innocent people (real fans) ended up getting forced towards the front & crushed because of the ticketless yobs who had piled into the ground behind them.
But that image posted by the idiot showing the human suffering is beyond the pale. One of the worst posts I've seen on here.

I don't see it as "victim blaming". The moral high ground is won by rising above it, not lowering yourself to their depths. It doesn't make the cunt any less of a cunt, or any more ok to have been such, but making yourself a cunt too doesn't really solve anything.
I agree it's a bit utopian, the idea that everyone would just let it go, but it would certainly work if it were attainable.
Someone will always feed them titbits even if they're not getting a full course dinner and so they live to fight another day. From a moral point of view i agree about taking the higher ground, but how will people ever learn that certain behaviour is unacceptable if they are continually allowed to act unchecked? Surely we have a "moral" obligation to try and challenge people's behaviour if we feel it is antisocial?
You mean like ArcspacE ?That's the thing about trolls - they know it's antisocial, that's exactly why they do it. For the attention. Challenging them, calling them out - that's what they want, it's what they're aiming for. They won't be having any moral epiphany because the people they're trying to antagonise get antagonised.
