The Pub - Discuss Anything

It's really easy to see why he was banned. He outplayed mods with his words, only answer was to ban him to eliminate the uncomfortable opposition. In a sense this forum is a small replica of an authoritarian country led by insecure people - as it turn out.

People like Justin_3D were banned in the past, and few people were discussing if it was right or not, since those guys were not exactly popular. For example, most people were describing Justin banning as "epic", or were just celebrating the ban. I'm pretty sure if a "unpopular" member gets the ban tomorrow, few people will be describing the act as an authoritarian one, few people will be interested in knowing the real reasons behind the band. What really matter is: do i like this guy or not?

Justin was a friend, and he was banned for exchanging some words with a MOD, and since then I've seen worse behavior coming from different guys, who were not banned (or had their ban delayed) because they were popular. I still believe Justin was banned because some people were not a big fan of his posts, they were just waiting for an excuse (I might be wrong, though).

If one member is not respecting the rules, actions must be taken, it doesn't matter if the person is a good poster, its not the quality of the posts that will determine if "x" or "y" deserves the ban, its not what we are discussing here. When people start to say the ban is not deserved because the guy is a friend, or because he write good stuff, THAT is "authoritarianism".

Ah I see :lol: no it was just funny how some were so certain Diego would flop so I thought I'd remind them :P

Guilty as charged :lol:

In my defense, in 2013, I had only seen a hand full of games of him as a striker and he did at first seem like the poacher only type

But I've been around, dear. It's just I'm more active in match days or immediately after the games. There's not much to do afterwards to be honest, just pointless rumours or people from the media trying to find silly stories about our players - Diego Costa "punched" someone.. should he have seen a red? Fabregas, defensive liability? Etc.

Besides, I've been busy this weekend. I'll make a post about it in the pub so we don't derail this thread. And then Choulo won't have to move the posts (that even Jason was okay with) for derailment :lol:

I didn't mean around here - although you're always insightful, so I miss you around here too.

I miss having you all to myself on Skype or Whats App, talking endlessly, but I'm going out now to have a hot dog :P

me and my junk food. I could write a few books about it.

@Barbara, so... this weekend I was busy because my brother came over and he brought with him some lads who are in Brazil for a month in their med internship. One of them is from Poland and the other is from Jordan - Łukasz and Ahmad(?). I took them to try kite surfing and kayaking (?). And we also went to this bar where we got drunk and invited some strangers to sit with us at our table, it was funny as fuck. Talking to random stranger people seems to be a new trend in my life right now.
