Not sure I understand the point of an account deletion that leaves your profile and posts intact. Might as well just not log in unless lacking self control.
Good luck to him though.
I am awaiting my ‘message’ from the Papmonster - I suspect my continued posting is a direct legacy of Glastonbury messing with his head… I feel my time is almost at an end… The children will weep at night. The women will wear black like a Mediterranean mourning- I am expecting at least a year. Bletch will be wearing a black armband on his cock in my honour

Ex-Trader, has asked for his account to be deleted. I have now done this.
??? Did he say why?
He didn’t like the personal insults he was receiving.
I personally wasn’t too impressed with the way he was treated.
I think tempers were running high and instead of debating his ‘views’, people kicked out.
It wasn’t our finest hour.
After his request to have his account removed I reached out to him a couple of times, but didn’t hear anything back.
It’s a fucking shame.

Sorry Bletch, but he ineffect suggested I was almost sub Human devoid of respect - despite there being a robust exchange of opinion on an emotionally charged day, did not expect this… It drew the ‘go fuck yourself’ because of what was insinuated. If he is now off because of personal insults, that is perhaps a lacking in self awareness.
Avatars seem to reveal quite a bit about folk it seems…
See I could have handled a sex pest gag, but he had to make it all serious with some sinister 1930s style shit…
three down votes! This country has lost all sense since the brexit.
You’re not going to get banned for this.
_It’s a consequence of freedom of speech. Freedom for the thought you hate. _
I had a lot of time for Ex-Trader. I’m sad to lose him as a contributor, and there’s no way his departure his departure can be described as “for the best”, but at the same time, a thick skin is required around these parts if we’re to maintain that freedom of speech ideal.
If the site were run along traditional lines, you know you’d stand a fair chance of being banned already.
We’re not. We want your unfiltered opinions.
I haven’t banned SWDP when he’s seemingly been researching me, and I haven’t banned Tokes for comparing me to the sex offenders he presumably knows. They say all true knowledge is based on experience.
Why on earth would I ban you with all the other shit I’ve let go?
I haven’t banned anyone. I have no plans to.
The really disappointing thing is that the shoe has been on other foot for you in the other place. Just remember that some of your former foes could join this place at any time.
Please don’t misconstrue this as a threat, just a potential reality.
They’ll get exactly the same protection as you have here.
_It’s a consequence of freedom of speech. Freedom for the thought you hate. _
As much as I am for freedom of speech, I do think posters should be aware of potential defamation statements. For example, I don’t think calling anyone a sex pest is justified unless you know that to be a true fact and are prepared for any consequences of it. At least prefix that sort of statement with “alleged” to cover your asses ( probably a bad choice of words by me…lol)
WTF? Well would be keen to know what has warranted a ban and all the other shit you have let go?.. Ex-trader decided to take umbrage because he refused to acknowledge that no one had called ALL brexiters racists - constantly trying to take the moral high ground that this had happened repeatedly - as a result he insulted me using rather unsavoury terminology. - I merely told him to go fuck himself.
And i stand by that given what he was suggesting.
As to the other place… Jeez, this was not some collective bullying but a disagreement that got nasty with Ex-trader doing his equal best to stoke its fires.
If the SWF collective decide to migrate… Rather topical, that is up to them.
Pap, I don’t get any perverse pleasure from seeing folks leave. But if Ex-trader thinks it is fine to make those suggestions and not get a response then he is either naive or looking for it.
Given the fallout of recent days, is it any surprise that there are plenty who are pretty fucked off with what has transpired as a result of lies and bullshit?

My sex pest comment was meant to be a playful joke. Apologies if it has upset anyone.
Must admit all that drama passed me by. I saw there was some argument going on, but i didn’t really bother reading the posts. If all seemed a bit technical.
What is Fatso going on about also? Is it just joke bout the missing S at the beginning of that bros name, or is there something more sinister going on?

Shut up bearsy, you sex pest.
Posters shouldn’t have to pick their way through hatred disguised as free speech.
I’ve given up on one thread, about to do the same on a second.
Life’s too short.
What are the threads?
Chertsey Saint has requested his account be deleted.
Can the mods arrange this please? Thank you.

He said nowt about a ban.
I said something about a ban. You would be banned elsewhere for electing to use your freedom of speech in that way. In some places, you wouldn’t have even been able to make the comment.
Please stop jumping to conclusions.

I saw the thread. I’d agree that no-one said those _exact _words, but there was a pattern of posts giving that impression, a focus throughout on those racist and divisive characters.
And i stand by that given what he was suggesting.
Yeah, perception is a weird thing. Some might have correctly perceived that he didn’t mean it literally, and rather, he was simply pulling people up for the general perception they created.

We’re just talking personal abuse.

I think you have the wrong end of the stick here and have jumped to the wrong conclusion. You’ve gone literal when a general point has been made.

Oh fuck off blaming Brexit for everything. There’s only one person responsible if you happen to react like a dummy spitting twat. Yourself. A lesson I have learned the hard way.

Fatso, that’s the name used for different topics that people post on, but that isn’t important right now.

The thing I’m finding really difficult to process and accept, is that just a few days ago, all of you [ok, not all, but the vast majority] were lapping all this information up like it was Scarlett Johansen’s juices flowing onto your tongues.
And let’s remind ourselves for a moment, of exactly why that was:
It was because from word go, large swathes of the information I was providing from my source, was being proven to be true [indeed – proven to be true] after I had shared it, and at the very least, being confirmed as being accurate by other reputable sources. The accurate information just kept coming, and you were all loving it, that little old unknown Sotonians was playing host to such revelations, and making a name for itself.
My source then gave me in the most enthusiastic terms, the information that Manuel Pellegrini had been offered a contract. I sat on this for a while as I typed it up, contemplating the size of the call it was to go public with that. But I kept thinking back to the last time, when I hesitated in sharing it, and our friend Jeremy Wilson beat me to the punch with the same information by under an hour.
So I stuck my neck out, trusted my enthusiastic source, and ran with it.
A day passed, without comment from the Club elsewhere – and I received and passed on an update from my source that there were delays, but it should all still be well. But that if it was not – _the job would be offered to Claude Puel _.
About a couple of hours later – our friendly journalist at the Telegraph puts out a clearly Club fed piece, all about how Pellegrini had been seriously considered, but we had decided he was not the right fit. Ever since, we’ve been fed article after article on the wonders of Claude Puel, and how close he is to getting the job. Well, er, that’s a surprise. It’s exactly what my source said would happen, if things didn’t work out with MP.
I remain as sorry about that now as I was when it broke for getting your hopes up, and I understand how dissappointed you must have been when Pellegrini didn’t get the job after my confident post, and we then went after Puel, just as my source said we would. If you were dissappointed at the news, imagine how I must’ve been feeling!?
Ever since that moment – apart from a small handful of about six of you who’ve backed me up and been supportive [thank you, you know who you are] – you’ve all distanced yourself from me like a man carrying a terribly contagious plague, with some of you seeming to actively look for ways to twist anything I have said since, to add to this new stance – that after an incredible run of verified information, suddenly – “Jack is full of Schitt”.
Like just because one thing, out of everything my source has shared, and I’ve had the balls to stick my neck on the line and post here has been dismissed with a wave of Jeremy Wilson’s hand – that all the other proven facts I have shared with you, are suddenly all bullshit, and Jack is a liar.
I would have expected nothing less at some classless joint like TSW – where everyone is treated as a faceless character on a computer screen, devoid of human feelings – but not here. I thought Sotonians was different.
This was a place that in the almost six months I’ve been with you – I found to be a genuinely warm community, where rather than treating people like names on a screen to hurl abuse at – we saw beyond all that shite, and made real friendships with the actual human beings behind the screen names. I haven’t yet had the opportunity of taking those friendships I thought I was making into the real world by attending the match day drinks sessions [due to my dad’s health, as you already knew] – but I was really looking forward to doing so, and getting to know so many of you better.
That is what I have found so dissappointing in the aftermath of “Pellegrini-gate”. Not only have I brought over one hundred and fifty new members to Sotonians on the back of this information adventure and helped put the site on the map – but since I first arrived, I have strived to be an honest, friendly and dedicated member of our community. Then with one post which took real balls to go public with, I am treated by the majority with a cold shoulder, and eyed with disdain and suspicion, with all that good [proven to be accurate] informational bounty I had brought to Sotonians, seemingly cast aside as meaningless.
If it had been you in my shoes, knowing you had a genuine bonafide source of quality Saints intel, and you passed it all on in good faith – imagine how you would be feeling right now, when people you counted as friends, shun you and call you a liar.
