lsz, it is only a small sample set .... but the biggest turn off to the 3 manly supporters I have recommended the site to over the last year is not the arguments ..... it is the fact that they come on to be kept in touch/informed, to celebrate, to commiserate, to discuss all thing Manly with Manly fans.
And what they are not prepared for and what they encounter is the relentless bagging and denigration of players, officials and coaching staff by a handful of "fans" Not the genuine opinion, the relentless one show pony handful of baggers.
It wears them down, it is endless and infantile.
If you can point to one post of Strones over the past 6 months that is anything other than "mindless crap" written by a fool ...
@Forty Baskets may be new but he has made a greater contribution to debate and alternate opinion in a week, (and would be more attractive to new members) than the Bozo is a **** and Sack the **** Barrett, and Zorbas a ****, Ferris is a ****, **** Cartwright off, **** Brown off, **** Myles off, Taufau is ****, Api is useless, mob.
It is a much bigger problem than the occasional dust up between passionate fans.
