For crying out loud. I go away for one day and I come back to find the forum is burning down. We've had this argument a lot of times and you all know exactly how this works, and you all know full well that it's a contentious issue where very few of us agree. This is an argument that inflames opinions and messes up the fragile peace that reigns here, and it's an argument where all of the good points have been exhausted a long time ago.
Now, I'm well aware that, unlike other places this argument has broken out, MCFC does have relevance to this topic and I'm not going to stop people from bringing it up here. All discussion of which club is more important in CFG has got to stop, though, and if it gets brought up again in this thread, I'm just going to delete the post that it's in, regardless of the other content removed, because I have better things to do than this every week. Come to think of it, if this argument starts springing up in other threads you can expect it to happen there, too.
Posts along the lines of "I hope Roma win on Wednesday" have to stop too. That's just baiting City fans for a response and it's helping nothing.
Now, I don't like arbitrarily banning people or hauling people up on warnings when I don't think it's needed. You've all been good posters in the past and have managed to get along on other issues, so I'm going to assume this is just a blip. I'm not going to bother naming names because you're all grown up enough to know whether you're at fault or not, and to what extent you let yourselves get dragged into this, and just like you're all aware of it, I'm aware of who was too. Just take a few days from this issue to cool off and let's pick up from where we were a few days ago. In the meantime, I'm locking this thread until I get home from work tomorrow just to help out with that one, and if the argument breaks out again immediately then it's going to be locked for much longer, just so you are all aware.
Oh, and please start condensing your replies to a single post at a time please. If you want to reply to multiple messages then press "reply" on each one and it will queue them all up in a single post, and then you can put a reply after each quotation. You don't need to post five times in a row to answer five posts. I trimmed almost 30 posts off this thread by merging double posts, so if any of you have noticed your post count plummeting, that's why.
If you guys want a tl;dr version of this post - I'm not giving you one. If you can't be bothered reading my whole post to see whether it applies to you, that's not my fault.
