aha, like asking a simple question of you but not expecting to get such a touchy response?
: Because they choose not to! Does it really
: matter? I mean what do you want to do, find
: out who made the comment, pick them out and
: point at them at home games? We may as well
: let people choose to do what they want as
: long as their contributions are relevant

: Stephen, if they really believe they are
: making
: a valid point why can't they back it up with
: their name rather than maintain anonymity to
: 'enjoy the fact that no-one knows who they
: are' ??
: Lost me there...

: Just because people do not often post on this
: forum does not mean they are not always here
: to keep up to date with the messageboard. I
: am an example of this. Whether it be general
: laziness or just not having that much to say
: I choose not to post on here the majority of
: the time.
: Reading everyones points of view on this
: debate it is clear to see there are two sides
: to this and every story.
: Siding with the likes of Foster and Mixture
: no one likes to see stupid anonymous comments
: such as the recently debated ones. They are
: pointless comments that just cause
: unneccessary aggravation for genuine City
: supporters who post regularly. There is
: almost a slow burning fuse in situations like
: this and I can understand why Gary has come
: to stop posting. I enjoy reading posts made
: on this board and long may it continue.
: However, I agree with Derek Smith to a
: certain extent that Gary and Peter have been
: a bit childish about the whole thing. It is
: clear Gary enjoys posting on the board from
: the sheer quantity of messages he posts so
: pulling out altogether seems a bit over the
: top. At the end of the day if these posters
: are anonymous (just referring to posters of
: childish messages) then does anyone value
: their opinion anyway! I for one don't!
: Therefore I don't see the need to pull out.
: These postings do not mean that a person's
: right to anonymity should be taken away. Not
: everyone wants to give their e-mail address
: when making a posting, they may actually
: enjoy the fact that no one knows who they are
: and may go on to make a valid point they
: really believe in. Just because a person has
: given their identity doesn't mean they will
: always make points everyone wants to hear. If
: I had a pound for everytime I thought Peter
: Foster was an idiot for what he says on this
: messageboard I would be a millionaire but he
: is giving his opinion, what he believes in so
: that is fair enough. I am not being
: anonymous, but I should be allowed to sit
: here and say I disagree with what is said.
: Should anonymous posters not be allowed to
: say this just because they don't want to give
: their identity? I don't think they should as
: long as they are making a valid point, in the
: right context, for what they believe in then
: their right to anonymity should be allowed
: and not decided by certain administrators to
: the site. That's the beauty of the internet!
: We all appreciate there are rules in most
: situations in life but this debate about the
: messageboard is taking it all a bit too far!
: I look forward to reading posts from every
: willing participant in the future!
