Something I have wanted to get off my chest.

This site is a platform for people to engage, discuss, relate and form relationships with people who live in other parts of the world. I am eternally grateful to @Dan and the other hardworking people who keep it up and running.

It is social media at its best. Having looked at other supporter forums and unfortunately having a need, because of where I live to be connected to Facebook, I am always amazed at how intelligent and generally well mannered (particularly in comparison to the above mentioned other forums and Facebook) the discussion on here is.

Having said that the place of late has followed the trend of Facebook and social media and taken on a whole 'us vs them' feel.

I know two people have been given a stint on the sidelines, basically for conforming to that view. The world shouldn't be seen as 'left vs right', 'true patriots vs spineless snowflakes'.

We all have a right to agree and disagree and we all have a right to be wrong, happily proven wrong, question the direction of the club, the ability of players and their fit in certain positions. We are allowed to go on a rant after a disappointing game or performance from an individual player. We are allowed to have favourite players and be blinded by their less favourable attributes.

Please don't make this place a place for cliques or being so determined to win an argument that you play the man and not the ball.

Keep this place special.

Come back @susan

I'm not proporting to be a paragon, I get the ****s sometimes too but I'm not so bloody minded as to define myself by choosing a side and defending it relentlessly.

Will get the sharks by ten tomorrow.
Sure we like to say we are better than other fan forums but I believe we are the only rugby league fan site that upholds Libertarian philosophies!
 
I have had something of a break from Silvertails for all of the reasons outlined above. I honestly don't know if I could be bothered anymore, but hey I logged back in and commented on this thread so who knows.

Yes and it has been pleasant with no fool saying sack Barrett every post.
