This is a public forum like Reddit or anything else. This isn't a private chat, so anything here is public domain. Don't like your comments having backlash? Save it for you buddies in your private chats where everyone agrees with you and you all take turns jerking each other offI can imagine him thinking that it was ok to post a link to this forum since we post links to other discussion venues on here all the time. I can imagine that he didn't think Mark was gonna get abused.
I have been talking to him on FB and I don't want to misrepresent his position, so I am only writing from my perspective. Unfortunately he's not currently able to speak for himself. So my guess is that we will believe what we want to believe, which almost certainly situates us on what we believe to be the right side of the story, congratulate ourselves for keeping the forums pure and go back to representing our unnervingly narrow slices of the population of supporters of our club.
A) he was never welcome here. Neither was I or many others because we didn't share the same opinions as other vocal members. Guess people come here Just to have people validate their opinion and agree with them.Nah, Chris. I can't accept this. As different as his opinion may have been on whatever topic, he was a member of the forum and posted his thoughts on whatever topics. Sometimes people agreed. Sometimes they didn't agree. Based on his representation of himself on these forums, people decided to engage or not but he was always welcome to post here and share his opinion.
This is a community and it should be understood that while this forum is public, we come here to share because we value the format, content and community. When you take from this context and drop it somewhere else, you are are purposefully taking something out of it's context and putting it into another one with intent. Otherwise, just address it here.
The same way he was sticking up for whatever it is he thinks is right, we have the same right to defend our community member.

B) that's a third rail member, good to see our fearless leader has our back... or rather, condemns members without even bothering to ask for any info or background story. So which of these communities is "our community" for you? The forum or your support member who stood up for you when templados and whatever would shit on your name left and right?

I actually agree with you about how some other members have been driven off. We had a much better range of voices in 2015 than we do now. Notice that none of the HoO people (that I am aware of) post here anymore, for example.
That said, I'm not sure how much that applies here. Mr. Bianco seems like a bad poster boy for a true observation. From my POV it always seemed like he relished the fight and gave as good as he got, but maybe I'm wrong - I don't follow this place as closely as I used to. In part because of the increasing narrow-mindedness and toxicity that you correctly observe.
Anyway, the ever-more-negative atmosphere around here bums me out and I wish I had some good ideas for how I could contribute to making it better.

You make some valid points on how we can do better.
But there's also just the fact that we haven't had any big event, and there's also the newness wearing off.
Forums peak and trough. It's just how it goes.
I mean, in fairness, people like you and me could blame all of the new people for 2015 voices leaving. Is that accurate? I don't know. But us old-timers were here then when we had more diversity per your observation (mine too).
It seems to be a bit of seasonal thing. You lose some, you gain some every year. There are also just more places to talk about less actual shit going on.
I'm happy to encourage any quality new posters. After I haze balls on their first post, of course.
But I am 8 years old.Okay, okay, why don't we calm down. Opinions on players, formation tactics, games are 99% okay. We can disagree about who should play RB if we provide points to justify our claims. When we start discussing off the field incidents regarding fans and members on social sites, that's when things get weird. Someone called me homosexual and their defense was in the past I've supported Mix and Johansen. That's ban punishment. For the most part, we can discern sarcasm and serious points. We all support NYCFC (hopefully), some are more vocal, some are more serious than others. Let's respect each other's opinion, hear the opposition, and not act like we're 8 year olds.
Not self martyring, I just know what's coming. Like me, when I was playing that gif over and over...I want to dislike this because self-martyring is so stupid but . . . that's a perfect gif.
I legit have no idea what you said, but if you can see this, you're on the internet mate.Planning to seduce Forum Justice?
ETA thanks for reminding us that we are on the Internet.
But I am 8 years old.
My parents are deadThen I have to admit your vocabulary, spelling, and grammar are excellent for internet usage an 8 year old. Just make sure you ask your parents permission to use the internet.
I hate 234. It's not even the Bieber, it's not the people. Not the Choi I love the choi. It's that forsaken "aaggghhhhh" shit roar after the you shit bastard (I prefer the generic puto chant to it but even then) that is the sole reason I can't stand it... I cringe every timeI thought I knew this place pretty well but clearly there are layers of beefs I knew nothing about.
(234 is good, actually. I will die on this hill)
