    No, you were perfectly happy to engage in discussion on Tuesday, or at least say you would. After all these are your words; "I'm on my lunch. If I get a chance I'll address your post sandy, sorry, meant to say that." This was after my initial post. What's changed since then?

    You have more chance of Sunderland being in the premiership in 2 seasons.

    Good to see everyone took Gordon's advice about not piling on. All of this because I pointed out that owld feller was still abusing me.

    In fairness, you are responsible for around 30% of all posts since Gordon’s. Admittedly about half of them have been posts after how you aren’t going to post anymore.

    I'm not piling on. I was just hoping to get some adult discussion regarding what I consider valid points of criticism regarding the BLM. You're not the person I'm going to get it with, fair enough, but don't expect me to listen to what you have to say in return, as that road walks both ways.

    Haha good one. Why not pull smug up for saying he would leave it, then coming in just to throw insults at me? Didn't think so.

    I brought up owld feller's abuse. People aren't bothered about it, they are giving me **** just for posting at all now.

    Like I said, I am happy to leave it, but if you keep giving me ****, I reserve the right to respond. So maybe... stop?

    I didn't realise this bending the knee stuff was going to be a permanent post kick off pose. Surely there is some player out there willing to take advantage of this pause after kicking off and scoring with a sneaky lump down the field. I'd give them a big cheer, no matter what the colour of his / her skin was.

    Sorry, that's incorrect, so I'll correct you.

    @Gordon Armstrong posted, I responded and said I'd talk to other people.

    I posted a response to @Ozzymac which was on topic and no mention of you.

    You posted directly to me while, at the same time, claiming to want to 'end the cycle' Gordon referred to.

    I gave you a perfectly polite response.

    You then, for some reason, choose to throw on a post specifically to have a go at @Owld Feller to which I responded.

    I didn't come in 'just to throw insults at you' ....

    ... you're lying for whatever reason and, I suspect, trying to push the Mods into pulling the thread.

    Just give it a rest ffs, you're a seriously boring man.

    What a load of bollocks.

    I'm sure it's not just me but when someone posts reasoned debate about the issues you seem not to respond.

    It would appear that you have a view and if anything goes against that, it's either not worth your time to respond or it goes against the narrative and therefore it's difficult to respond to.

    You state that you grew up underprivileged which is sad if true but so did most of us to be fair, there's not many millionaires born and bred in Sunderland.

    You got a hand up which has helped you succeed in your chosen profession, good for you as many others haven't. You're trying to tell white people who have struggled their entire lives that they should bend a knee for people who have done nothing to help either them or themselves. Might i suggest that you choose your target audience (although as the owner of a highly successful business i'm sure you'd be aware how critical that can be).

    So i ask you this question. Name one successful "Black" person who has challenged the inequalities in their homeland. I'm not talking about where they live now but rather their "ancestral homeland" which is where a lot of this debate stems from. 1 person, only 1, can you do it? Whilst you're racking your brain for the answer, how much money a year do some of these under privileged people make from sport that is primarily paid for by the rascist white mans sponsorship dollar/pound? How much do they then put back into their own communities to assist with these issues?

    Oh that's right, we don't have these issues in Monaco or the various other tax havens where they choose to live.

    Lads, again, you're literally saying all this in response to me asking if you're all ok with Owld Feller continually abusing me without sanction.

    I didn't make that post for 'some reason' smug, that is the reason, I made it very clear, but not one of you has had the balls to say that it is wrong. Not a single person. Instead you've said that I'm in the wrong just for bringing it up.

    As for 'getting the thread pulled' etc.. I literally have no idea what you're on about. I haven't asked the mods to do anything, the mods asked you to do something because they recognised it was going too far. I just asked if everyone here is ok with owld feller going on like that even after being told not to.

    And that made you get involved because you feel that he's worth defending...

    And I've said all of this respectfully, politely and calmly, not that it's stopped the abuse, if anything it gets worse.

    The identity of the poster is irrelevant and it's up to him to defend himself, I'm not definitely him.

    You misappropriate my words once again.

    What I was clearly saying is that, even after a Mod asks for the personal stuff to calm down, you throw up a post specifically attacking someone.

    If he's that big a problem report him or pm him but don't keep derailing threads with off topic rants about other posters.

    Without sanction, eh :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I've been looking after you as far as some posts have been concerned.

    If only you knew !

    You shouldn't assume that 'the mods' have done nothing :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Thanks! That was all I was after, someone to recognise that it was crossing the line. Good that it was someone who could do something about it. Cheers.
