I'm taking Pravda to mean GasChat? (But I don't know why!?) Sorry, am thick. I think it's a disappointment anyone gets banned from any forum, save their posts inciting violence. For me, I infringement on everyone's right to freedom of speech. It's part of a larger agenda for what you can and can't say in public. Which is becoming continuingly restrictive. If wumming (again, I'm being thick, I assume the winding up people, person or forum) is an issue and folk have problems with that, there is a facility to can filter out their posts. But, they should be allowed to express themselves, and as I'm opposed censorship, I would hope the mods reflect and revoke their decision, and allow Kp the courtesy of returning if he/she so desires. For the record, I find a lot of Kp posts interesting, I like his/hers contributions.....does this mean I should be banned too? I don’t get the Pravda thing either. Some Russian nickname nonsense perhaps meaning dictatorial maybe? Can’t even be arsed to Google it, just a guess. I’m all for free speech, get your soapbox at the entrance of the Mem and bang your drum for all I care, that at least gives the opportunity to walk past and eventually be drowned out. Constantly throwing unsubstantiated rhetoric around forums, hijacking threads on other subjects and goading others isn’t free speech though is it. It’s being a dick and gaschat has always worked on a “don’t be a dick” policy. Axe will testify to that. Now when you get mod admin reports, other posters pm you and have delete or modify posts that pertain to one individual and they refuse to reign it in, then the right is reserved to remove that individual for a short period of time to allow things to normalise. Personally I don’t find any of the stuff KP has posted lately interesting because nothing has been substantiated. On both forums I asked, as well as at least 3-4 on here and 10 on the other side and no one got a coherent reply. All we had was nonsense about encrypted emails and meeting someone for a drink as long as it wasn’t me (not sure I’m missing out there). Even now he can’t stop throwing mud in my direction. I’m happy to criticise the owner, the CEO, club or the tea lady, but only when there is strong evidence to do so. How can I possibly pass any comment or judgement on anything when the only evidence is “because KP said so”. It’s a nonsense. Just now he’s even marginalised Pete Colley for his Christian faith because Pete said that KP was talking nonsense and it’s not the first time KP has taken the low blow route towards PC either. So far nothing has been mentioned about that, however I got cancelled on here because I said KPs meds were affecting what he was typing such was the ridiculousness of his opinion and argument without any evidence. Well even based on that rather disparaging and maligning remark towards Pete, it actually proves that we made the correct decision because when people don’t have the articulacy, ability or diplomacy to engage in a forthright difference of opinion and put forward sensible rebuttals to arguments they result to name calling or try to marginalise something about their appearance, personality or culture. I don’t believe there is anything about the Christian faith of any denomination which says you can’t debate with someone and expose flaws to their arguments, so why should his faith be brought into it in a negative context? But as always, KP comes on here plays the victim and tries to point fingers in every direction other than his own. Childish if you ask me. A bit like making childish jokes about KP having to take drugs to treat his illness then. I’m not a big fan of the “ ITK” attitude whether it is KP now or knowall and Gasincider in the past but aren’t you guilty of it yourself ITB ? How are the plans for the brand new first team complex at the training ground coming along ?

petecolley .

Actions speak much louder than words. To err is human, to forgive divine Kingswood Pillock. This comment was missed by me, i only became aware of it by reading of it from another posters comment further down this thread. However i'm puzzled by how you can refer to my F.B. posts as i blocked you years ago for your obscene and vile comments on my status to a female friend of mine.

Once upon a time, many years ago, I worked for a city centre company, we used to get many invites to attend various functions as we were a major advertiser on local TV, Radio, Press, we took it in turns to attend these functions which could range from Clay Pigeon shooting to the F1 Grand Prix, on one occasion my fellows (Knowing I was Gas) tricked me into attending a BCFC pre-season friendly which was against Borrusia Monchengladbach at AG. I did kick up a fuss at the time once I realised what was going on, but out of politeness attended anyway, I’m not sorry to say that I really enjoyed it, they got thumped 8-1.

That's the point I made at the top of this thread, you've got away lightly, ITB. Somehow, he's got to the point where he has accused me of all sorts including having a dig about him still being alive, not wanting to reply, wishing he was dead and much more just because he doesn't understand a phrase I used.... it's difficult not to agree with your last sentence which I highlighted. If there was ever a case of, to quote the verve, “the drugs don’t work” then this is it..!! What you doing at AG, stewarding? No, not sure there's a bright yellow bib to fit me!! OPTA send an in-stadium analyst to every game in the top 4 divisions, Scotland, FAWSL & FAWC, the U18PL and PL2 to collect the data. I'm that man at City, Rovers and City Women.

As someone who only occasionally posts and mainly reads to get different perspectives, can this thread be moved and we talk more about the football being played. Thanks. I totally agree with this post but sadly this thread typifies how the forum has lost its way,the 'personalities' and their squabbles have taken over.

My eyes started to melt when I read the phrase "working at Bristol City". How is that possible? Quite easily. I know a staunch Gashead who is a chef and works at AG on matchdays regularly. He has a living to earn. As @bathgas said earlier the humour seems to have gone out of the forum. Most have got very serious [and sometimes personal] these days even those who used to like a laugh. I think bloogas that you will find Oldie was joking. That said, I hope you have had all your vaccinations updated.....

It would probably help if threads like this, which are absolutely nothing to do with Rovers or the football, got moved to another part of the forum. That way, those who never watch Rovers could pat each on the back about how "principled" they are and how much they "hate" Don Bartoni.

Of course I do not see your posts. It’s not like you haven’t blocked me before brother. After all. , we all have bad days. We all have things that trigger us and I remember her deeply condescending post, well and, unfortunately it triggered a series of very painful memories and so I reacted. Pillock, really ? You can do so much better. You used to be fun. If there is one thing I did learn , Is not to use Facebook , hardly at all and, when doing so not to take anything too seriously. I wish you a wonderful sabbath This woman was/is from the USA so have you even met this friend ? I cut my list from 4,500 plus to just around 350 now but I actually know, in person, each one and so it makes it much more difficult to become scatological in any response

Many have, seemingly, forgotten how to even converse or, if they do then it’s with attitude. I will not be saddened to be leaving Bristol, maybe even the U.K.

Emmm Doubtful, he was French "François-Marie Arouet was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher. Known by his nom de plume Voltaire, he was famous for his wit, and his criticism of Christianity—especially the Roman Catholic Church—and of slavery." Now, who amongst you would not support that? 🤔🤔 Studied Voltaire for French A level, really enjoyed reading Candide. Also enjoyed Pagnol, Camus [who was a goalkeeper for his day job] but found Sartre a bit too heavy. To quote Camus - 'Everything I know most surely about morality and duty, I owe to football'. He sadly never played for the Gas although he would have learnt a lot about life and philosophy here! I presume he would have been a creative midfielder. And probably the Union rep. 😉 UTG!

I may not always agree HH but we really do need a ‘laugh’ button. You are doing your bit to keep the humour going. Well done. 👍👍👍 Btw, how’s your brother, the good Dr., doing? Well I hope. Up your way this week. An old fashioned Liverpudlian funeral. You scalleys have made the hotels very expensive though, Rangers are playing so the prices are more like Park Lane, not West Derby!!! UTG! and as per oldie, for clarity, this is a joke!

Maybe we should wear special armbands as well, so we could be clearly identified. Might as well make segregation total.

Ok fella, if that is how you chose to take it then there is nothing i can do Peter. I used to, very much, look up top you. IF i was the person you make me out to be then oh boy, there would have been familial arguments. Unlike some, i have never taken a screenshot to cause anyone a problem, i have only ever done so when making credit card payments and to have a record. Have a lovely Sunday and take care.

I don’t get the Pravda thing either. Some Russian nickname nonsense perhaps meaning dictatorial maybe? Can’t even be arsed to Google it, just a guess.

The block button is marvellous for this kind of thing. There was a time where. Thought i and ITB were actually getting to a point of understanding but he then showed his true and mean spirited, bile filled self by trying to insinuate that my medication was making a lunatic of me, that boat sailed long ago 😂 and nothing to do with meds, meds that slow this evil disease down. That was my end point. I will not engage with anyone who will stop so low. It would only lead to een more of the same. I hope you are enjoying what is left off the weekend

Although it goes against my spiritual beliefs, i do see and even feel a lot of very pertinent content was written by Nietzsche. I did not get into any kind of philosophy until i started reading Richard Bach and this is what actually led me to the topic and plethora of philosophers. Mark Rowlands book, the philosopher and the wolf is one i would recommend to anyone with a taste for deeper understanding and meaning. Fantastic book and very visceral in how he puts his experience across. Enjoy if you have never heard of him. Brenin, the wolf, in this factual book, takes centre stage though.

It would help me and Eddy J extract you from the crowd and take you to the table of Don Bartoni.
