I still try to remain ambivalent to expressions of intolerance and indeed, inciteful behaviour... but its hard... when you want news about the club you've followed since 1975, and all you read is bigoted rhetoric with personal agenda written all over it!! this is especially nonsensical when the forum is for fans... no club official spends any time on here!! and in their position, nor would I... so we have an echo chamber for the disgruntled and wretched...

my strategy now is not to engage individually.. and mute the constant barrage (sadly its not possible to mute quotes)....


anyhoo... its Monday... its spring and today is sunny with 31 high... happy days
