Because you've had a pop at me for criticising King before (when I've been totally justified IMO) so could see you being in a certain comfort zone over there and not making the same criticism's. I've not really got an issue with it as the whole King/Houston and their irk seems to divide the support and there are sides no matter how many people deny it. I just get the feeling you're on a certain side and wouldn't criticise them across there for having views suited to your own tastes. I mean, why would you?

No you haven't, unless Ive missed it. Your claiming we must have an agenda against Sloth because the majority think he's a self serving clown, and your evidence for this is that FF are the polar opposite. When it's pointed out to you that FF delete and ban anyone saying anything anti Sloth, you disregard it. Look at it this way, if you put any group of individuals together and give them a topic to discuss after a certain amount of time and evidence on that topic you will have a "majority" opinion that's the way the world works and it's the way RM works. Look at FF a group of individuals put together and after a certain amount of time you have a complete total one view of said topic, why is that? Because FF kicks out any person against that view.

On the other hand I may like to play the devil's advocate because I delude myself as having a balanced view rather than a "collective majority opinion". I always give people the benefit of the doubt , especially Rangers people. With regards to both Houston and King I see none of them as either a devil or a messiah.

murzo 7,446 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 So because the majority of people on RM, through their own thoughts and opinions and dealings with Houston don't like him, it makes RM unhealthy. Don't understand what else people are meant to do, like him just for the sake of it. Bears r us and Courtyard Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyruff 622 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 " Collective majority opinions " on here don't appear out of the ether, they are derived from both reasoned and aggressive debate. Diverse opinions are heard, argued with, considered, ignored and accepted in equal measure. There are no preconceived positions. No opinion will be deleted. This is how a balanced view is achieved, by giving equal consideration to opposing points of view. This forum allows that to occur. There is a surfeit of anecdotal evidence on here to display that this is not the case on FF. There can be no agenda attached to RM because of the simple fact that it allows debate and posters receive no direction, either implicit or openly, from admin or each other. gogzy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 FF isn't really a forum, it's like a wee cult where everyone is hypnotised to think the same way but when someone comes along who isn't under the spell it's open season on them. That's not my personal opinion, it's the collective opinion of RangersMedia as a whole. Courtyard Bear, K.A.I and gogzy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some can and in our divisive world will naturally focus on polarised positives/negatives for one forum or another but if you take a step back for a moment, we are all Rangers supporters. Whilst there will always be disagreements in any walk of life, we seem to be on a never ending climb up the wall of divisory confrontation that has, as a collective, served us very badly. I'm an FF man as far as forums are concerned (currently sin-binned for looking like Brad Pitt) but I'll offer my particular olive branch towards RM by saying there are at least 238 posters who aren't Jeremy Hunts,,,,seriously, the best thing about it for me is that I'm allowed a voice that goes against the general RM grain. # Don't hit me with any negative vibes man ! reallyruff, Fred H Crawford and Siam69 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
