Now lads please lets think positive. Forgive and forget. Move on. Out of interest is there any guidance on the standsrds of what is and is not acceptable on the Oatcake and the role of the Moderators? If you stick to insulting stafford-stokie, RAF or Tazi then I think anything is allowed

To be fair to RVD, I don't think he did announce he was leaving. He just deleted his account - not really a "look at me" action at all. He has every right to do it, but I wish he hadn't. I'd rather have lost ************** than RVD - although if ************** comes out with a superb blog after each Stoke game I could change my mind. Somehow, having seen **************'s work I doubt if he can replicate the great stuff RVD produced. Correct John. He didn't make any announcement and as I have pointed out elsewhere he will be re-joining us as the new season gets closer. Tazi will return the moment a relegation threat emerges. There must be more to people's lives than to analyse football message board behaviour, surely? Perhaps we need a real professional opinion. OK, enough's enough. "He will be rejoining us as the new season gets closer" This ITK bollocks has gone far enough!!!!

It's not just RVD who could do with a rest, some of you fuckers post way too much.
But what is the exact benefit of deleting the account? Is it a difficult enough process to get it reinstated that it makes it more difficult to send an impulsive reply?
Oatcakers Anonymous really should be a thing.

Now that's exactly the sort of unnecessary, antagonising and argument-inviting response that's going to bring harmony to the board. You're such an arse but i do find you very entertaining I think you're probably the type he wants rid of but i don't Like I have said, I give my opinions. This is a forum. If people don't like what I say, then don't read it or respond. There are some on here I wont even read. That's my choice. Some people believe the posts I submit are aggressive. I aren't sure why they think that but it is their issue, their perception, not mine. Therefore, I wont give it any significant thought. We all have persona's online, mine is different to my actual existence. Those who respond in the way I expect them to, respond because it is their choice. I wont worry about it. SGS I can only speak for me but i explained it the other day. All Werrington said was "Would be a fantastic addition" or something close to that. Now that's his opinion and i'm sure he'd have happily expanded on it if asked. Unfortunately you preceeded your reasons for thinking Ince wouldn't be a fantastic by saying "More nonsensical drivel". Everything after that will always be read with a defensive mindsight - hence you came across as aggressive. Oh yeah - and i've been on here for years so it was far from the first time. I like the entertainment and you don't care so i suppose it is everybody elses problem but if you did want to know i'm confident that's the reason most would give. I'll leave you to it

Having just spoken to Rob on Twitter he called me a bellend so I'm going to try and get him banned from Twitter so then his life will effectively be over. This is war, RVD.

Pwingy No I am not saying that at all. I believe, but could be wrong (I have been once before), that some people may not want to get involved in threads because they dont want to receive the abuse/insults that they have seen on other threads. For me it is not about me personally being insulted, I have already been called and abused in my job to a much worse extent than can ever possibly happen on the Oatcake by people I do not know and cannot possibly hurt me. I am concerned about what is being allowed to be said ( the actal words) and the level of unnecessary abuse which may be read by children. I am proud of Stoke on Trent and The family club Stoke City and I just think that it is an unnecessary shame. I can live with it, I am not going to try to get compensation for hurt feeelings, but it is ashame That's fair enough, but your main point is people being shot down. This is achieved one of two ways in this board. You have the insults/swearing/bitching etc brigade that you've previously mentioned. Then you've got the holier than thou/know it all fraternity.

Never quite understood why some think it is manly or clever to use swear words for emphasis, usually demonstrates the opposite. As for threatening or insulting other posters (except in jest) it is foolish in the street and totally laughable from a keyboard.
That said it is not for me to impose my views on others, each of us have our own standards, hopefully what we share in common is a love of Stoke City. I follow my own advice in reading those views I wish to and choosing to ignore others.

Bayerncuntcake doesn't roll off the tongue too easy and also completely undermines the play on words. Bayercuntcake is a lot easier to say. Who called you this? The flange biscuit who did it needs to be given a lesson on how to better insult people.

Some people are very active on here and like to have a say on most subjects,Rob is one of them and i regularly disagree and agree with him and many others for that matter but personal abuse either swearing or otherwise should not be tollerated in any circumstance. I go back to our first season in the prem and we had Amdy Faye sent off at Middlesboro,well i thought it was a harsh red and then i had a disscusion with a poster who was telling me he was a referee and it was a red card all day long and we had a heated exchange no abuse mind and in the end i said look,i'll look again tonight on match of the day (never watched it since our first season in the prem!)and if i think any diiferent i'll buy you a pint and call it quits. He then tells me "i'm not old enough to drink i'm only 16" and that he refs at under 7's level. Well first of all i was shocked i was having this conversation with a 16 year old (not his fault) and that things were getting a little heated but it made me realise that all age groups appear on here so now i'm careful in what i type unless i'm familiar with the poster and am comfortable with banter with them and there are plenty of them but i'm still warey all the same. that young bayern was a cocky sod Still is .

The trouble with this, like many message boards, is that too many people attack ad hominem and not the argument put forward. I find this particularly strange, since few of us actually know each other beyond the persona we inadvertantly project through cyber space. I've been posting on here for more than ten years and seen many a good poster come and go, many resurfacing under a different username, whilst I'd like to see some post more than they actually do these days. I'm sad if it is true that RVD has 'retired'. His post-match analyses were brilliant, worthy of the highest standards of footie journalism, and I can only hope that he comes back soon. Yes , but ************** does provide a 'Happy Hour" fuelled thread for the merriment and pleasure of those in the clique on matters more suited to a west Lancashire knitting club for the over 60s. You must remember Cissy and Ada that Les Dawson used to entertain us with ? Attachment Deleted You are always welcome ....

I like to get stuck in on here and love a good wind up but sometimes I get sucked in to the moment and overstep the mark. 99% of the time I don't actually mean how things come across but if your not to good with words it gets lost in text.I do give a fair bit but I also take it and don't mind one bit. It's all just banter really and despite a few heated arguments and differences of opinion over the years I would have a beer with any of ya daft bastards. You have to just take this board for what it is and enjoy the ride. It does get a bit fruity at times but that's just part of the fun. I like to drop a line and sit back and watch the fallout. Conna beat a good wind up but at the end of the day we are all one big Stokie family. Bring on the real footy and the new season. UP THE MIGHTY, MIGHTY POTTERRRRSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was also molested by Rolf Harris LIVE on TV! I mean can you actually believe that, i mean, can you actually believe that! I can! In the image of Gods, this calls for a...
