Rep points again.

Sorry to raise this subject again but honestly lads this is sometimes like being back in the playground again.

Some of us on here have mixed feelings about adel taarabt, lought is obviously a fan as are others, i am not, as i dont think sunejim is from what he writes, difference is i make 2 comments about taarabt and get demoted points while others on here have voiced their doubts and i note nothing happens to their posts,?

Whoever is responsible i would say at least be consistent,! lought might be your pal or something but why not dock all those posts that you dont like about taarabt instead of just mine.

I have said before that i dont get involved in docking people points , if its a post i am not interested in i just move on, as i said its a bit like the old pals act in the school playground bit, pathetic really...................

Lew why bring sunnyjim into this. im sure theres players you rate that i dont. for what its worth i think people are wrong about adel. hes got skill he can see a pass and has speed and strength but our coaches cant help him as they all want yes men.
i see he run the show on saturday at qpr. i hope they go up and they sell him to man u for 10 mill because lettin him go for 1 mill is a joke .
i see we are after ashly young. why hes right winger that plays on the left. also micha richards who i dont mind but i think kaboul done well enough at right back
as for your rep points i havent taken any off you lew

baz surley you can find out whos doing it

Baz ! its not so much the actual points , at the end of the day it doesnt matter how many points you have or dont have , its the inconsistency, my point is that i dont think taarabt is prem class, i might be wrong, others have posted for or against taarabt but it was only my posts that got docked ! why ? am i not allowed an opinion on the subject.

I made a joke about lought being a adel groupie but its just a joke intended to make people laugh, and lought usually takes it all in good stead, if he didnt like it i would hope he would tell me and i wouldnt make jokes like that.

Anyway the sooner you can get a system up that says who is doing what the better, at least it might all make some sense then.

Big Brother watching over us Lew?

I don't see what all the fuss is about myself mate. As I understand it, the rep point system was set up as a bit of fun to let people know their pleasure or displeasure, for want of a better word, at a particular post. You win nothing if you have the most, you lose nothing if you have the least.

It wasn't so long ago that I was told that I was, possibly, intimidating other posters to the point that they would not post on here. They didn't want a confrontation because I argue forcefully.
That's me though, never backward in coming forward to argue a point if I think the other person is wrong. Not all people are like this though, not everyone wants the confrontation that goes with holding a contrary position and this is their chance to show their disagreement without the confrontation.

Wasn't it you who said that everyone should have the right to make a statement without being brought to task for it? This is just another way of voicing that opinion. It lets you know that someone disagrees but just doesn't want the argument that often goes with it.

Don't worry mate, I'm only playing Devil's advocate here as I believe that any opinion should be backed. If you can't then keep it to yourself because making an opinion then gives everyone else the right to challenge it, provided they can back up THEIR argument. But I digress.

Think of it as a secret ballot. A vote has been cast on the post and it wasn't a favourable one. However, you are sitting on 39 points so you have far more that agree with you, or respect the content of your posts, than those who do not.

Glass half full and all that old bean.

What can i say old man ! without getting a rep point docked !

Honestly ion i really couldnt give a toss ! if thats the way they want to make their contribution on here then fcuk the cretin who is doing it, because they dont have the brain to contest what they are disagreeing with.......however i suspect its something more than just that, something is irking their silly little mind, something i have said or made them look foolish over, but like you i appreciate face to face confrontation on the keyboards not some scrungy skanky idiot that presses a button to say something he cant explain and thats sad.

Having said that, if the intention is to stop me voicing an opinion then they can go on deducting points, i am committed to the board because i love spurs and i love talking spurs and that is my reason for being on here, along the way i hope i have gathered like minded friends, and hopefully i will meet with some of them at some time in my life, although i have a very busy life.

I have been accused of seeking favouritism because i give a few things away, i can see the logic behind such a theory but its a bit of fun to do comps on here and its my contribution to a great board, i give away things i have had for years.......and dont watch or read anymore so whats the problem with that.?

Probably a great many things Lew, I hope you're not suggesting that I have docked it though, I'd rather have the argument!!

Honestly ion i really couldnt give a toss ! if thats the way they want to make their contribution on here then fcuk the cretin who is doing it, because they dont have the brain to contest what they are disagreeing with.......however i suspect its something more than just that, something is irking their silly little mind, something i have said or made them look foolish over, but like you i appreciate face to face confrontation on the keyboards not some scrungy skanky idiot that presses a button to say something he cant explain and thats sad.

Fair enough Lew. I can see where you are coming from and even agree with you to an extent. I also appreciate what Baz posted earlier, that this has happened before, so you're probably right. However, I can't really get that worked up about it because I've never really taken that much notice of my rep points, or anyone elses for that matter. For all I know I've been docked quite a few after some of my tear ups. As long as they're positive and not negative though, I'll be happy to know that my posts are appreciated more often than not.

Having said that, if the intention is to stop me voicing an opinion then they can go on deducting points, i am committed to the board because i love spurs and i love talking spurs and that is my reason for being on here, along the way i hope i have gathered like minded friends, and hopefully i will meet with some of them at some time in my life, although i have a very busy life.

Don't we all mate. I've said it before, yours is one of the more thought provoking contributions on here as you do tend to ask some fairly difficult questions and they spark some pretty good debate.

I have been accused of seeking favouritism because i give a few things away, i can see the logic behind such a theory but its a bit of fun to do comps on here and its my contribution to a great board, i give away things i have had for years.......and dont watch or read anymore so whats the problem with that.?

Few accuse you of that and those that do don't really get too much in the way of serious consideration when they do.

Chill out mate, if you haven't worked out by now that you are considered a valuable part of this 'Family' then you never will. Considering this, does the odd 'dissention dock' really matter all that much?

Honestly ion !never said and hoped you never thought for one moment that i was accusing you ! ion, i know you better than that and i hope you realise that fact.

Rather than dock points you will slug it out verbally and i love you for that mate ! as one spurs fan to another.

Yeah i am probably getting a bit paranoid, always been of a sensitive nature, supporting spurs and listening to work mates have a go has made me like that............

(perfect paranoia is perfect awareness)

You are speaking along my lines now vis ! i have always believed the same.
By the way, saw an old mate who i used to play folk band with back in the early eighties, did a couple of old numbers together and he played harmonica, brilliant ! really enjoyed the evening because sharon was on a night shift, i even rated my own blues riff........you know the e7, a and d chords stuff.

Throw the odd 7th chord in Lew and you get a lovely old skool, authentic blues sound. Also works well for a Country sound. Johnny Cash used 'em a lot after a minor chord. As a bass player I will often look to throw in a quarter beat flat/sharp note if the guitarist goes for a 7th. Throws it slightly off pitch but if you slide into it then out you can get away with it . . . . .

Can i just say do we have any Scousers on this board because they'll have any thing that's not nailed down,,,,,,,, Only trying to help PMSL.

Not sure if you are replying to me jim, but you are right it is childish and i felt childish having to bring the subject up, however just hear me out mate.........................!
I really couldnt give a monkeys about points, if thats what you are saying, its the intent behind it that gets to me, someone secretly docking your points in my book means someone is harbouring a grudge, but doesnt want to get into a conflab with you.........................thats what is childish my friend, getting back at you through a scoring system.

Read my ( docked points) posts jim and see that i said nothing that was (really ) any different to other posters on the subject , but my posts were singled out, and its happened before.

The points system is fine as far as i am concerned but it is open to abuse, scrap it and maybe it might make those abusing it come out and have their say, instead of docking points off those who bother to do so.

No it was just a general remark on the thread not any one in particular Lew.

I have no problem with the rep points & as i said i never knew you could take them away & i don't think i've ever given any either lol.

But if people are taking away at least have the common decency to say so & why.

i never even look at peoples rep points anyway, never understood what there for. just seem to upset people from what i can see

I think it's a great idea and makes you feel a lot better that others appreciate what you have to say or not as the case maybe.
Perhaps we should just have the plus + & no - then there would be no complaints and no skulduggery.
