In other news, we’re beating Fulham I've often wondered why people join a football site in order to bang the drum for their political philosophies despite seemingly having limited onterest on football at best. Some of them apparently pay money for special access to the server yet virtually never post about football or Palace, whilst responding within minutes to anything at all on this kind of subject, even, as you point out, during football matches of considerable importance to our very srvival in the PL. I suppose it isn't against the rules but I mean why not join a politics site? It's like going all the way to the Costa del Sol for a full English breakfast. Baffling.

The overwhelming membership criteria for this forum is that you SUPPORT Palace. It therefore follows that members will wish to watch or follow matches involving Palace, in particular at times of increased tension due to the prospect of relegation. Therefore any Palace fan posting drivel not associated with our fight for survival, on a Saturday afternoon deserves being called out. Or is my argument illogical? 100% spot on. Proves that some people here are just trolls and WUMs.

After 40 odd years of watching Palace I've learnt how to multi-task just a little bit.

Tell me, are you posting this on the politics forums in all the other Palace sites or just Hol? I suspect that this is you attacking opinions you don't like than anything else....which is you being a WUM yourself while knocking it. While it's a silly point I certainly do post on Palace talk and I do post on match threads....and I'm sure others on this thread have as well. Take your 'no true Scotsman' fallacies to someone stupid enough to listen to them. Edited by Stirlingsays (05 Feb 2019 6.43pm)

It's simple really. Football is a game where men kick a little ball from one end of the pitch to the other and try and get it in a net. Politics has a bit more to discuss wouldn't you say?

If you dare to disagree with any of these people they can't wait to smack you down, belittle you and try to make you feel guilty for daring to state your opinion. As for "no true Scotsman" - you've made the elementary error of assuming that my location and my nationality are the same. Open mouth, insert foot. If I were Scottish how likely is it that I'd have been Palace for 45 years? Idiot.

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (05 Feb 2019 7.05pm) I don't think "discuss" is quite the right word for those who think this is a write-only medium somehow. But actually you've made my point for me, haven't you? If that's all you think football is, WTF are you doing in a football forum? It may hold little interest for you, but for some of us it is a passion. Places like HOL are there for those people. Edited by chateauferret (05 Feb 2019 7.46pm)

At least I have a passion that doesn't involve trying to put other people down. I'll post my blinkered pea-brained attitude on here if I damn well like and if you don't want to share your forum with football fans I've already given you a suggestion. I think the real reasons you don't use dedicated politucs fora are a) real experts in this area would wipe the floor with you and b) their operators and moderators would't stand for your high-handed, bullying behaviour for five minutes.

I have plenty of time on my hands for football threads and political threads but I have no time for people like you. Mind your own business.
