Frankie 505 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 You are a good friend to Chris. My opinion is if he had answered the questions asked a couple of months ago a lot of this would have been avoided. I am really sorry Chris wanted a good Rangers supporter banned and got his way.Anyway I have to go to work but I'll read about me being a mentalist later on Twitter, Facebook, CRO, and Gersnet. I'm a good friend to all bears. It's not Chris' fault that others can't adhere to the rules the rest of do.And no abuse on Gersnet allowed - as you know!

clan macrae 292 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 As I touched on earlier (and on Twitter yesterday) it's unfair for people to generalise about whole forums because of the actions of a few.Every forum has its trolls, interlopers and fruitcakes. And on a forum as large and as intense as RM, I don't envy those attempting to moderate it. However, the rules are clear and BluePeter has had to go to extraordinary lengths recently to try and curb the unreasonable behaviour we've seen lately.I think we all need to examine our contribution in that sense. The rules are there for everyone.It takes all kinds to make a world.What may seem unreasonable to you can be seen as perfectly reasonable to others.There are a lot of complaints on the Forum regarding the Daily Rhebal distorting and exagerating anything to do with Rangers.I would rather have guys like Ed telling it as they see it.By the way i dont always agree with Ed but i defend his right to reply.

RFC Eagle 4,888 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The first time D'Art didn't say exactly what we all wanted, a few people would get annoyed. The second time it happened, he'd be accused of being a MD lapdog. After that, it would be open season on his personal life and profession.I would be willing to bet that D'Art would acquit himself in a much better manner if that was to happen. I don't think anyone would ever accuse him of being an MD lapdog though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post minstral 5,375 Posted August 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2013 And not shutting the fuck up about it, making every thread involving the poster a rehash of the same old questions, constantly berating the poster and coming out with his "meet for a pint" pish. Aye, banned just for "having an opinion" he's a big weanED brought more to the board than Fury ever did. To be honest his knowledge of Rangers history, and some of his tales about the club were fantastic. sonofbear, Eric_Caldow, BilelBoy and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, it would be open season on his personal life and profession.I remember a few weeks ago d'art posted an article about our history and traditions and his view of how they relate to him and his perception....I thought it was an excellent piece but a few posters were accusing him of pushing an agenda etc.....the sad truth is as soon as you put your head above the parapet no matter what you say or do some will have a go and try to knock you down!

I'm afraid I don't think Ed always walked the correct side of that particular line but that's up to the admin team to decide not me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Im stupid because I read what he writes and make my own mind up on it while never considering him to be better tha meAye ok mate Im stupid Why do you think you have the right to know his source?Do you have the same opinion for all information you get?Have we not pretty much concluded he was correct anyway.The original article on TRS was signed off by TRS not Chris however like you I GUESS he played the senior role in it.I told him he was wrong (to publish it not the facts of the issue) at the time made my feelings on it very clear, however as time has gone on I now think Chris was correct (or TRS) and I was wrong.I could of written that better. That is the impression he gives across when answering things on his blogs is that if you don't believe him them he thinks you are stupid.I don't know you so can't say anything and every is entitles to an opinion, some people just don't like it when you question their opinion and go off in a huff. nugegz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest his knowledge of Rangers history, and some of his tales about the club were fantastic.90% of his posts were very insightful and purposeful but surely you can accept latterly he (and others) have spent more time talking about CG than contributing to the forum?

I don't think anyone would ever accuse him of being an MD lapdog though. D'art's a fantastic writer but I know how difficult it can be to speak well on TV and radio. It's not bloody easy that's for sure.As for not being a MD lapdog, I don't think he ever would be but the first time he may share an opinion with MD in the press, that's what he'll be called. It's an 100% given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,248 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 From Hero to Zero, Eh!The guy who sat on STV fighting our battles and then gave us ALL the night to remember when he called Spiers out Yes, ive noticed sometimes on Twitter he can come across smug, but christ, he has tweets coming in left, right, and centre with a lot of piss you wouldnt believe.Fury, treat yer own with respect mate, We are ALL Rangers at the end of the day, and, guys we have more serious problems that this !Agreed...but respect is generally a two way thing.

Frankie 505 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 FFS Frankie, your support is admirable but you're talking nonsense.I don't think D'Art would bad mouth RM on the internet like Chris and then come crawling back to get ED banned. Why don't you tell us who was involved in asking for him to be banned?Actions like this make the clique disliked. If involved, you face the music.I'm afraid people were talking about Chris' personal life long before he started slagging off this place.Neither are acceptable. That's the point I've made throughout.
