This place definitely is DEAD these days
On a thread about what has become wrong with this website, literally a couple of back and forths in true traditional WHO style and what it's always been known for, and it gets locked. Like the Jota thread, it's the only thread that's getting any proper traction.
I'm beginning to think Manuel had the right idea. This place is being turned into KUMB.

It's a case of just how low expectations can be set.
Being a West Ham fan doesn't necessarily mean that there has to be a total absence of neural activity...

Once you have realised what is happening in a thread and you have made the decision to stop reading, you can then either abandon that thread permanently, or dip back in now and then to see if any worthwhile content has resumed. This can of course lead to reading more pointless garbage. Tricky even for those of above average intelligence..

I agree the protagonists could make more of an effort to be entertaining, but not everybody is creative like that.
Trying not to read it is quite difficult unless you start to read it and then realise what it is that you are reading.

Yeah we've had this exchange before.
It's not about being a 'petal' or how offended anybody is, just how unbelievably dull the usual participants are.
It's a bit like trying to read a book when only one page out of ten has any content worth reading.
Not offended... Just bored by the mindless non-content.
Got it?

I'm not sure I see much debate?
Any difference of opinion (real or imagined), leads straight into cunting off.
Subtle it is not...
Aaargh, sorry Eerie. This is the post I meant to reply to, not yours.

Your profanities do you no favours in putting you as obviously residing in the grudge-holding, easy to trigger camp.
You want to try that again after a course in anger management?

Re: This place definitely is DEAD these days
He's had a few. I said in his WHOicide thread that he pretty much does this every other year. Takes the summer off only to return with another username.
A Proper Iron was also one of his previous, wasn't it?
He'll be loving this, the VOYEUR he is.

Coffee and I are former nightshift, so we interacted with Manul, Cocaine Frank and Private Dancer more than other posters. There was one more before Manuel, but I cannot remember the name

You can normally spot them early doors. I think Hammered & Pickled lasted about 3 posts under his new username before he was called out.I missed that - who was he??I can't remember the username other than it was named after some booze. In his first couple of posts he started to abuse someone using crayons in the insult.
He wasn't very good at hiding himself.
Cocaine Frank and Private Dancer

You ain't funny full stop and more like "improper" West Ham

The problem is that people with differing views can debate them. That's fine. But too many times these days, it then turns personal and people just start cunting each other off. And when you go from thread to thread every single one of them is infected with the same people doing it.
Give the site mods a chance to sort it and get it right.
