SteveJ 743 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Lads and Lassies, I joined RM many moons ago because I felt it had the balanced approach amongst fans and the discussions were on an adult level, with a high end of debate. I was not disappointed in that the love for Rangers was of paramount importance and that the members were welcoming, albeit a tad suspect on fakes.Today see's the same people on site, who are still as articulate as ever, considerate to the cause and have the same overall goal - to see Rangers succeed on and off the pitch. We are still suspect to fake accounts from those who wish to see what the blue side are talking about, but we deal with that very well.Do you sense a but, coming? Forgive me, there is one. The 'but', is to do with the in fighting on RM from existing members, new members and the members who have been on here since the web was officially opened by the US military! My question is WHY?Rangers Media is not FF - I am sure we can all sigh a breath of relief at that! So why do we debate with proverbial attacks? Can we not just debate opinions, without calling each other a wanker or cunt?Rangers are not too far away from stability; that I have no doubt. The AGM will allow the shareholders to choose the right option, as long as we do not allow the RST a major vote. With that in mind, can we stabilise RM and accept that members on here are actual Rangers fans who want a return to the playing field and UEFA trophies?Let's discuss the club we love, with respect.

Bad Robot 21,150 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think the site got to rock bottom when the mods allowed a thread title which essentially called PM a clown. Regardless of the personal opinion of PM, those running the site should have changed the title as leaving it on was saying it's ok to abuse people.Individial posts within threads are harder to moderate but this was in plain sight.

JamieG54 812 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I rarely read Opening Posts that are over a few paragraphs long. Just cant be arsed reading arguments over the same stuff every day. Good banter still but you need to look for it. Not much fun anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pshortof17pound 2,492 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 SJ I am of the same ilk as yourself - thanks for breaking cover. This forum stands head and shoulders above the rest of them. Lately the bile has been just too much and I've just chosen to spectate and not participate. I'll now pin my colours to the mast - Craig Mather walked in to a shitstorm and IMO handled it as well as anyone could have - Dave King is wishful thinking at the moment based on the number of enemies who will contest his credentials. Paul Murray has won a court ruling but if there is any justice the AGM will sent him to f**k and we'll never hear of him again -Aye right.!! In the meantime all we can do is support the Queen's Eleven as we always have and hope to goodness some sort of sanity emerges at the end of all this.

ZZed 4,510 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 steve the abuse bit does not bother me as it is often passion and frustration, BUT the love of our club comes through. The kiddy on ones soon out themselves as thier passion is to hate us not love us. We can disagree with other bears and it can get spicy but we can see the other person does care even if they can't see that I am always right.

I joined RM with a certain membership who I struggled to adapt to because they chuckled at my potential to be a fenian. Those people are now old timers :-)My point is that we fight on the pitches, we fight on the stands and we fight on the fora. We just fight!

Ger77 742 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Good question Steve.For me personally, its down to the supporters of Green, Mather or Murray that constantly feel the need to promote their man (Translation: Ram it down our throats) whilst slagging off the others.Whilst many on RM offer a balanced view, there are others that have the blinkers on.My position - Its only about the Rangers.
