All you're doing is proving what I've pointed out, what SoC has pointed out, what dane has pointed out, that its all about you, you're utterly obsessed with proving yourself ahead of other posters as the best Carlton supporter, the fairest Carlton supporter, the most intelligent Carlton supporter, the most supportive Carlton supporter, and clearly have no qualms coming off as a massive hypocrite in doing so.
Your post on Grigg wasn't far off the one I took umbrage to when you had a go at Brock McLean earlier this year.
All I've done is defended myself from personal attacks and putting the focus back on the game and the team.
It has nothing to do with being the best of anything. They're your words....colourful to say the least.
All our opinions are in fact are small components which make up the content required to make a site like this all the richer.
I try to add value.
Your post for instance we discussed off line....it didn't have anything to do with Brock, it was an accusation about my belittling of Carlton players in general, and I asked you which players I had attacked and asked whether you may have mistaken me with someone else. As I suggested it seemed you were on auo reflex and attacking the poster. There was no attack on any player at the time. Remember, you were going to get back to me on that, so I know where I went wrong, or if you were wrong. Remember...it was out of mutual "respect".
Dane's response was rightly hanging shit on me about the length of my Essay, not my attack on my view on players. Fair enough too.
SOC says that my attack on Grigg was disgusting. There was nothing disgusting about what I had to say about Grigg. That was a personal attack about the way I put my point across. Did you find my post on Grigg disgusting? If you did then you're in agreeance with SOC, if you didn't then why have a go at me again?
Look, I try to support my team any way I can. I like to spend my money on my club. I know I am a good and loyal Carlton supporter, like most supporters of any team are.
I try and be articulate and balanced with my point of view. I don't want to offend but I don't want to be attacked or bullied either.
I'm here for a good time.
I appreciate that you may be friends with SOC back at the club and you're sticking up for a mate, but if you and SOC are trying to tell me that I am no value here, or to the club, and I should stop posting on TC, then that's fine, but just say it, and don't just bully me off this site.
As I said, I'm not here to offend, or make enemies. I'm here for Carlton and want to see the team grow and grow.
Just say the word Rhino, and SOC, and this will be my last post on TC.
I don't want to be posting on TC just to be your personal sitting duck and not wanting me to defend myself.
I'm just so excited that we gave those Tigger boys along with Grigg a whipping yesterday.
Every game against the Tiggers takes me back to that awful GF day in 1973. I can't forgive them for it.
Go Blues and I hope you have a grin from to ear to ear when your team wins the flag this year. I still reckon they can.
