I’m not here a lot. I do try to be helpful when I can, and yes I admit sometimes I have a bit of a joke at Rabbits21 expense(ie, my last TU/TD post). Sometimes I don’t post because someone has already said what I’m thinking or the thought I do have seems a bit irrational. Maybe dan feels the same? Idk. Yes, we all have lives outside of this. I took a new job recently where sometimes I have to work nights or weekends and miss out on the game time banter.

I have gone through four pages of dan posts, and absolutely, it’s all asking for advice and not much else. I’m not inside his brain, so I will never know why he doesn’t give his opinion as well as takes it.

Rabbits and Matt. I think they get bagged on a lot, because they are very opinionated personalities. There is nothing wrong with that. I firmly believe that it is their “holier than thou”, you can’t sway me from what I know to be correct mindset that gets under the skin of others.

So I do my best to try and contribute in other ways, like banners and avatars for posters when time permitted.

I’m getting better and learning a lot from posters every year

That's valuable though.

I think I provide next to no value. I've never been competitive enough in fantasy to warrant sticking my chest out. But I also don't really ask for anything.

Yeah, I think a 55 BE is likely to be pretty close to being on the money.
He's also priced at about 55, so there's a fair chance he drops a few K.

I'm still going to wait and see how things shake out, the main reason being that he's still one of the 13 best players in that team, Carty not so much

The fact that people here think their advice is that valuable is laughable.

The only posts worth anything are some of the more experienced posters (Milchow, Booze, et al)  providing lessons on trades, generating cash, learning how to use statistics etc. We also get the odd team expert giving advice on pack rotations.

The rest of the stuff on here is just conjecture based on feeling. Which is fine, it's all a good laugh. But everyone should seriously get off the high horses. We are all likely as stupid as each other.

We have a lot of new soft people on this fourm.

It's like the old posters like Rabs and Co disappeared and this all of a sudden became a safe place for softies.

Like most online forums/reddit just get filled up with left idealists who think they should tell you how to live your life. That's online life now sadly.

Some people captain Hopgood, some people captain Cleary and Grant.

Crazy that you made 2 posts on effectively the same topic (Bullying of Danseels) one got downvoted to hell and the other is all upvotes.

Your point is excellent though. If you don't like what someone says, ignore them and move on. Block them if you have to. Certainly you are unlikely to change someone's ways by just insulting them until they do what you want.

anyone watching Alone Australia?

The self professed 'Alpha Male' tapped out pretty early when he couldn't hack things.

Although he at least did better than the guy who didn't even last 24 hours before pulling the plug.

But it's an online community where people will have different views all of which are as valid as the other and all of which deserve to have the piss taken out of them just as much as the other.

Posts lack the nuance of first person interaction where you can tell if someone is emotionally equipped to have the piss taken out of them so sometimes discretion is the better part of valour.

On a side note let's not romanticise Rabbit... he was great fun to have around but he could be a massive prick when things weren't going his way.
