Your sarcasm's wasted on me pet, just thought I'd clear a couple of points up though while I'm having a browse, first of all I am a Cas fan and proud of it, secondly I don't hate anybody least of all your vasty as your affection for him clearly shows with your pet name, I happen to believe he talks a lot of sense, I just have an issue with his bed side manners and find it hard to accept being labelled an inbred amongst other things.
Finally I never said this board was dead, but hey ho if it suits pet then you make it up as you go along.
You think you have a problem - I've been physically threatened at a match at least twice and only last week had a poster on here threatening me with physical violence should he/she 'bump into me at a game'!
A lot of people know who I am (wasn't the original intension tbh) and sometimes I pay the price - put simply there are a lot of people on here who can give it but can't take it and soon resort to genuinely aggressive behaviour.
I could and should have ended the 'Vastman' name years ago for my own safety but I just can't - why should I - my bedside manner may be poor and I do make posts I regret but at the end of the day I''m honest and I don't threaten anything other than peoples egos and boy do I take sone abuse in return. I have no snide secondary identities, no name changes and I still go to matches - genuine freedom of expression never comes cheap it seems.
If I'm the reason forums are dying then I can only say I'm amazed considering the appalling posts you find on un-moderated sites like Facebook, Twitter and of course the only semi moderated Cas forum where almost any lie goes unchallenged and true bullying is rife.
