when you stifle debate this is the porridge that you end up with...

the general betting forum used to be the place we all went to, but then the cull started

You start off with banning the most vociferous for semi legit reasons (eg: dj sunset), then you ban the too close to the truth people (adonis) then you descended to new depths banning forumites for criticism (troy, tmm, etc) that in itself dissuades others from contributing to any meaningful discussion.

And what are we left with today. A totally peurile and insignificant nonsense.

I remember that Messrs Black & Wray saying that they had a love hate relationship with the forum, but at least then it was considered and intelligent.

For goodness sake, have a look at the forum nowadays, 500 friggin wannabe's doing pseudo blogs.
that don't mean jack ** to nobody.

It's got to the stage that the only person I remember from the old days is Feck & even he seems to be running out of people to argue with ffs.

I, and I suspect many others, used to check into this forum daily even when on holiday to catch up on the latest zeitgeist but nowadays it is utterly redundant.

Mr Davies you have a lot to answer for.
