Any chance we could find a happy middle ground guys?

We have had the open slanging matches and I think we all agree that gets out of hand at times but now we seem to have swung round to the opposite extreme, with three paragraphs of apologies and arse licking before certain posters dare to express disagreement with their bosum pals. I am sure it is all said in the true spirit of cosying up to your mates but, from the outside, it is more than a mite stomach churning guys. Ok, we all know you love each other, we've got that message, but let's not turn this into a glorified claret and blue gay dating room. Surely, if you are such good mates you can run the risk of saying, "Disagree" without applying more butter to your post than Marlon Brando used in "Last Tango in Paris". This is a forum, we are here to debate, not massage each other's egos! Perhaps if people ran the risk of inciting their mates a little, the place might be a tad more interesting! Thank God for IG's return, a least a few sparks might fly!

Fanno as you say this is a forum and people do come on here & debate. Everyone has their own style, some like to get their point over but are also capable of seeing the other point of view as well. Others like to take a harder line and try to dominate but that's ok as long as they can take what they give without resorting to abuse. Your always going to get some that get on better with certain posters than others and also as we all I hope have the same love then it follows that regulars will form some "friendships" if you like. I get on with plenty on here but if I disagree then I say I do but I admit I do try and conduct myself properly. Not so sure why the love ins bother you my dear, are you after a little hug yourself!! COYLoveyoureallyFannoIrons!!

Think most would concur that the site is lacking in some oomph at the moment. The "love ins" would be fine if hard core but it is all too soft porn - soft focus lens, careful camera angles sort of stuff. I don't mind it if they get their tongues properly down one anothers' throats but the pseudo kissing is just, well tiresome!

I would imagine most sites like this go through a quiet spell this time of year. We come on here to talk West Ham and there's not much to talk about at the moment so another reason why we probably just have a chin wag/Love in! I certainly think it will get livelier on here as the new season approaches and all the regulars return, watch this space....

I totally respect your opinion and I absolutely get where your coming from 'old chum'. As usual your post is informative, well written and has sparked a debate in a constructive fashion - top stuff, keep it coming. Congratulations. However, if you don't mind, I'd like to point something out, its very minor and please remember it is only my opinion - YOUR A TOSSER, FVUCK OFF BACK TO 'YIDDO' LAND YOU MORON. THIS POST IS THE BIGGEST BAG OF CRAP I'VE EVER READ. STOP WASTING OUR TIME AND RETURN TO SITTING IN YOUR DARKENED HOVEL, MASTURBATING IN YOUR OWN FAECES!!.....Anyway, I'm off now mate. Thanks for listening to my opinion, we'll have to meet up sometime for some green tea or muesli. TTFN.

Nope, everyone seems to be straight or gay on here, no bi people around.

What? You met Pete Wentz? How? Where? Is he leaving the unclassy slutty clone of me for the actual me?

LOL Brilliant! And if that is the middle ground, I can't wait until we get to the outside lanes!

I don't know where you're coming from me and Jase have had a rather heated argument without any w ..Anchor !
Submitted by hammersfanno1 on 3 July, 2008 - 17:39.
Come on Del, "Jase" accused you of being patronising and I wasn't surprised! Then the butter came out, great chunks of Lurpack! By the time it had been greased up, you could have accommodated the channel tunnel train in Jason's rectum and, as a result, it was decided everybody agreed with everybody else anyway! All the initial aggression came from Jason. I know there are different styles but, IMO, it is getting a bit much. Others might disagree. I am sure they are right actually, you know I always respect their views and love them to bits but... ;-}
Submitted by Themanfromdelmonte on 3 July, 2008 - 17:57.
Read the debate again it was never like that. No agree to disagree nothing like that. Jase is always argumentative so occasionally I wind him up and to do so I deliberately become slightly patronising at times but that is not my general style as you well know. Yeah I post a lot like you do, but I can count on one hand the number of people I have really pissed off whereas you could fill the Chicken Run. The difference between this site and other chat forums is that we are all West Ham supporters so I try and show respect during an argument. It can be done without being abrasive or going OTT.
Submitted by hammersfanno1 on 3 July, 2008 - 18:06.
That's why I'm calling for a middle ground! Fill the chicken run? I'd imagine I could fill Upton Park! Anyway Del, I never mentioned you in my initial post. There is a saying, if the cap fits...You and Bill jumped in pretty quickly!

I`m not sure but I think he means the "I love you bit`s mate & make you right in all you say & do apart from this one thing" etc etc, instead of just going for the jugglar, (Although what he`s done heaven only knows!!!)
Submitted by hammersfanno1 on 3 July, 2008 - 17:41.
Love you to bits and respect everything yo say but what the f8ck was that last bit about? Why can't you say what you mean in plain English?
Submitted by old skool pete on 3 July, 2008 - 17:47.
Well mate, I meant whatever you wanted me to mean, I thought I had an opinion that was slightly apposed to yours but after reading what you wrote I realised that what you`re saying is infact what I meant to mean. Thank you mate

Skoolie, Next time you promise 'im a ticket you'd better turn up, we can't stand the months of sulking like one of his so well brought up kids. Almost worked there though, for a couple of weeks I was thinking you'd gotten rid of him, next fvcking time do a proper job. And Del take my fvckin titfer off, my repect for you has gone right down the tubes and finsihed up in that shithole they have the cheek to call Guilford
Submitted by hammersfanno1 on 3 July, 2008 - 18:33.
Think this is getting close to what I'm looking for, though it would be great if it could be focused on the debate rather than the spokespeople. Guildford has a d in it by the way, along with a wanker!

You mean the 'yids'
Submitted by hammersfanno1 on 3 July, 2008 - 18:44.
No I don't because I am too intelligent a wanker to use crude racist insults, which is why Nev blocked the word - thus your need to resort to speech marks. Still, I expect that was irony?
Submitted by WestHamTiliDie on 3 July, 2008 - 18:47.
No I'm not clever enough for irony, just as I'm not clever enough to be a racist, but I do notice you've got your jack boots on again, eyes are ok
Submitted by hammersfanno1 on 3 July, 2008 - 18:51.
Have I? It was Nev who blocked the word, not me. "Eye are ok" went over my head by the way.

Now we have moved into the realms of the surreal.
Submitted by hammersfanno1 on 3 July, 2008 - 17:50.
I am so pleased we are in 100% agreement as ever. I was concerned that we might have moved a few millimetres apart in our appraisal of the situation but it appears that our apparently diametrically opposed views are in fact mirror images of each other. Phew, what a relief darling!
