Another exile...

from the BBC message board, which now seems totally over - run by the morons.

I recognise quite a few names on here, it already seems a lot slicker than the BBC.

Greetings Jonty. You'll find things a bit less silly over here on the dark side. I look forward to seeing your contributions!

Thanks, do you mean there are no daily brainless discussions about who's the fastest out of shoaib and waqar? What about a West Indian fan posting well over 200 meaningless posts a day? A rabid, twisted Indian who finds a way of relating everything wrong with the world to England and their cricket team?

I dont know what i'll do with myself.

Welcome Jon, I noticed - while flicking onto it yesterday that some bloke with a name beggining with the word Rap, was undermining England without any logical thought, or rational argument. I very rarely go on there as it just winds me up.

Although I don't always agree with everyone on here, atleast they are using intelligent thought out argument, and not just throwing out provocative statements.

There are also very few times I have seen insults being thrown at other users. There is proper moderation and a much better structure than the Beeb.

I was just giving the Asian fans a taste of their own medicine and they didn't like it.

That was the most annoying thing; certain people could say anything, and be forgiven anything, and others couldnt reply without getting posts removed or even banned.

When we do that it's considered racist. When they do it we have to tolerate it.
