CCM Fans and the club

He was passionate, and yes he took banter too far here and there. But at least he was passionate. He was our own little forum villian that went against the status quo. I personally enjoyed how he questioned everything and would argue with others.

Heck, if we can’t take a little “f**k you” here and there, are we really Australian football fans? I mean shit. The team we all support f**ks us week in week out and we all come back for more without so much as a dinner. Least offy would share his dirty casks.

One last edit to add:
He was a pensioner who looked after his dogs damn well, clearly not a bad bloke. He watched every mariners game twice he was such a fan. But apparently he isn’t a good enough fan for us, because he’s a little rough around the edges. I saw plenty of shit from other “respected” posters here who were putting shit on him. I just hope he doesn’t feel ganged up on or like no one here valued his opinion. Because outside looking in.. it f**ken well looked that way to me.

Yep. Let's not pretend that other users were squeaky clean in that engagement. No surprise that he started to get abusive if others were ganging up on him. And let's not pretend that wasn't happening.

We've seen far, far worse comments than anything he said go unpunished by the mods.

Let him back - and maybe the mods could step in a little quicker once the group animosity starts to prevent it escalating as it did.

Personally I didn't find him any more antagonistic than a number of other users on here have been from time to time. Found his formatting to be the most irritating thing about his posts!

If I don't like someone's posts, I hit the "ignore" button. If I disagree with someone's opinions, I either argue with them, or just agree to disagree and shut up.

I didn`t realise Offy was gone until I read a few posts after my last one.
Now i`m even more disappointed...

Thin ice gagging forum members imho Adz, I might not always like what Offy has to say or how he says it but he is entitled to his viewpoint.

That said, personal abuse should always be discouraged and dealt with when necessary, as long as honest heartfelt debate isn’t being denied as part of that process. The written word can very easily be misinterpreted and the reader cannot also know what headspace the writer is coming from, so like I say sanctioning someone should always be the form of last resort.

Sorry but he was continually a see you next tuesday. So much so I had blocked him from my view
It was all full stops and viewpoints jammed down your gullet. And even if you thought you agreed he would tell you that you didn't.
Goodbye and good riddance

I think Adz made the right move, he is allowed back in the future and is not permanently banned. Offy made some good arguments and interesting points at times but too often he would intertwine personal insults about other forum members. You will drive off far more people if you just allow people to be verbally attacked or holding an opinion, just look at the FourFourTwo forum. If you cannot treat others with respect why should you expect the same?

To be fair to Offy.
He is a pensioner in his 70's. They lose the play nicely filter at that age because they dont have the time, left on the earth, to pussyfoot around.
I didnt like his constant negativity but again TBF he hasnt been proven wrong by this playing group has he.

I'm a pensioner in my 70s (just) and I like to think my filter is still in place, and I'm sure I'm in my last decade.

Agree on the first point, respectfully disagree with your second.
Everyone has the right to an opinion and we all want passionate supporters but most of all respect is essential.

Commentary on 'the playing group' is neither here nor there in relation to whats at issue.

As Adz alluded to, it was his constant condescension towards others that was his own downfall .... then the gall to demand some respect.

Yeah, nah.

 

[Wombat]

Maybe the forum should have a vote.
Offy in or out??

1. Rowdy.....OUT.
2. Insertname....OUT.
3. Style Cafe......IN.

Next.

I'm not necessarily out out but if allowed back a short leash until he shows he can play nice.

 

[Spacks]

nah bring him back and the people who got all butthurt can press ignore. Problem solved.

 

[scottmac]

This is hilarious. Missed it all because I've ignored him. Many many people have been banned from here before for less. It was always going to happen.

 

[Wombat]

I can put my hand up and admit Adz warned me to play nicely with dibo on more than one occassion.

And look at how that turned out for us all...........Wombat all sweet and calmness after I saw the light.

Rowdy's hit the nail on the head here. I was guilty of reacting poorly to him and his ludicrously long posts with full stops which as a grammar nerd drove me nuts. The condescension was so over the top that giving him a spell is a good thing. Maybe he comes back with a different attitude. By all means disagree and argue with people if you think they're wrong, just don't be a dickhead about it and demand respect when you don't give respect to others.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

If we are going to have a vote, I vote for Adz.

Compared to mods on other forums he is very tolerant and I trust his judgement.

when it comes to Offsider I found him boring and pointless more than anything else.

 

[Wombat]

Vote 1 for Adz

What, my filter or my last decade? Well, if it's my filter I'll have to take that on board. If it's my last decade, I really, really hope you're right.

Filter, good. Last decade, hopefully not.

Thread completely derailed by that f**khead. Just ignore him, I did ages ago.
