I don't pay much attention to who posts what to be honest but Hyaduck and his yearning for a tracksuited German man stands out. I remember MOMO but not so much Crapslinger From what I've seen during my lurking days memory was an extreme left wing idealog and obvious had some issues. Carpslinger was an ordinary bloke that challenged his views which made him fair game for the woke mob but in reality his view are more inline with the general publics than most on here . I've seen some posts by Carpslinger on the sentinel, not sure if it's the same person or not but he seemed like am alright guy. His problem was his views didn't fit the online world narrative. Definite old poster here in tigermoth...🤣 someone pretending to be naive and interested in understanding more about politics and social issues in order to fly under the radar but increasingly coming down in the UKIP camp! Mattyd, Shangamuzo? Think Crappy got binned again as soon as it was obvious who he was. Understandable move. His tiresome bile is just not needed.

Oh I'm definitely not naive mate I'm just not as clued up on modern day politics as some on here I'm happy to admit that. Is UKIP still even a thing? 😂. Once the country voted to leave what would be the point in UKIP. I thought they were a 1 trick pony ?

We certainly needed UKIP at that moment in time otherwise we'd still be in the undemocratic EU.

Over the past couple of weeks we seem to have attracted a selection of new and `interesting` Oatcakers such sas, apiwas etc with, it's fair to say 'alternative views' to many of us. As entertaining as they are I'm wondering if we're being targeted by Eastern bots ? If so, why ? What do the masses think ? They must be bots given they're only posting in specific topics and none of them Stoke-related. It's scary how pervasive it must be across the Internet and the influence it's having. RRichieBarkerOut! mentioned Brexit. Probably helped Trump became President too. And now we have voice and imagery easily accessible and spreadable as well as text.

I am quite convinced from the Ukraine thread that all of the new personal posting on there are, at most, two people. They might even be all the same person. They're all versions of Bayern.

Not been posting that long myself so don't know these illustrious former posters If a poster posts something interesting whether i agree with it or not I'll engage, if im not interested ill ignore I’ll admit here that, having engaged with you / been engaged by you several times on political topics (and sometimes in a manner that rubbed me the wrong way even if I “bit my tongue”) I have noticed you don’t seem to have any presence on the football board. It might be an odd thing to notice but I find when butting heads with people on the EE forum, seeing them posting about stoke and realising you are all united in that regard helps to prevent falling into the traps that political rutting can create. Genuine question now but are you a stoke supporter? If so, how come you don’t post about stoke (as far as I’m aware) and if not, what’s your story? (Obviously I’m not questioning your right to post here if not a stoke fan, there are plenty of fans of other clubs here, some who only show up on political threads like that West Ham fan who doesn’t post much in recent years)

Crapslinger was an extreme right wing ideolog and obvious had some issues. hence his conflict with Momo I think both were/area 'ordinairy blokes' Don't remember that at all. The only time I really remember MOMO was calling into question if he was a real Sheikh or not and he got a bit lairy. Am still on the fence on the matter. Crapslinger,no recollection of at all. Mattyd I think I actually know if the same person am thinking of of he used to live in China. A few of us met Mattyd and his family in Singapore in 2015 and he's a bit of a lad but decent enough he lived in Thailand and has a Thai family. I've been on the receiving end of several private messages threatening and abusive from others mentioned and I'll be honest I don't miss those particular members one bit.

Absolutely with you on this, people wouldn't come out with lots of what's said on here in the pub or at work or indeed to peoples faces. Of course they wouldn't mate. I was trying to have an adult like conversation with a poster the other day but because I disagreed with him he took a tone which he certainly wouldn't take with me face to face. Its not the just the oatcake though I'm told twitter and other online platforms are the same . They don't represent real people and their views. I always find it interesting when people come out with "wouldn't say that to my face" sort of line. Or the olde "everyone I speak to says/thinks this". For instance I've got an older uncle who is very set in his ways with little to no wiggle room. He'll go on his rants and most of the family now just nod along as its not worth even bothering to challenge or attempting to have a sensible discussion around. He probably comes away from gatherings with the view that everyone shares the same opinion as him but in reality we all just think it's not worth wasting our breath on. Similarly I also have came across other people in different walks of life that like to try and intimidate, ridicule or raise their voice at those who disagree with them. And again once you recognise these traits you just don't bother because it's not worth the hassle. I think everyone can relate to meeting characters like the above wherever they're from. So when people come out with the "wouldn't say it in person" lines I usually immediately think/wonder if they're possibly like the above. Because to be honest most of my views on here I readily discuss with friends, families and colleagues. Obviously it doesn't really come up at a pub but I don't think most of us spend most of our times in pubs either. Not implying you or the other person are like the above by the way. But just more saying I think it's a strange thing to say generally. With that said though, I know it's not directed at me and I guess whichever posts it relates to are ones I'm not aware of. Maybe it's more about people who get personal or abusive which is a different matter altogether.

People that share the views of the poster I was talking about and people that like to act smug online are usually dweebs in real life. The usual blue haired UAF type protestors that couldn't fight their way out of a wet sentinel, hence they adopt a persona online to make up for their lack of physicality in the real world. Truth is mate I'd bet good money that most people don't have views on 90% of what's talked about on here one way or the other. Speak to the average bloke on the street and they wouldn't have a clue what any of it means anyway. I suppose it depends on the circles that you move in as well. Am I right in saying you work in IT? . I could well believe your colleagues views align with your own and would be very different to those that work on the line at JCB.

Am I right in saying you work in IT? . I could well believe your colleagues views align with your own and would be very different to those that work on the line at JCB. I don't know which specific poster you're talking about, is it huddy after you had a spat yesterday? Alot of people who disagree with his views seem to take a dislike towards him - maybe because I agree with alot of his politics I don't see it so much. I have of course seen him cross the line at times, like I have done myself too. But yeh I just don't see the big problem others see if that's who you mean but maybe his tone is different with me so I just don't pick up on it. I just think calling people dweebs, blue haired, uaf, couldn't fight out of a bag and lacking physicality are all insults in themselves so it's not really any better than what you're suggesting the other person does. I've done bigger shits than some of the posters on here but I still have no intentions of fighting them because they have a different opinion. I agree, most people don't follow politics and most media don't report on the corruption which goes on in it. But that's why we talk about it in the thread because we do share an interest. Just like some people talk about their favourite british holidays, heavy metal, cricket etc.. I don't follow cricket much so I don't really view or contribute to that thread. I work in IT for a manufacturing company and was based on a manufacturing site where 70% of the site work in the factory for 5 years before mostly working from home the last few. Because I work in IT I speak to people all across the business as most of them use computers, machinery which connects to a pc, tablets or clocking in machines etc.. On here there are alot of people who don't agree with striking for example and there's a few threads about the right to strike where some members think it shouldn't be allowed. The factory staff in my local site all joined a union and 98% voted to strike - they got themselves a 10% pay rise this year. But of course we don't agree on every topic, if we did then there'd be something wrong. And that applies to both the factory staff and IT staff in my work. But just because one of them may be a scrawny little runt, it doesn't mean I feel I should impose my physicality or intimidate them because their view is different from my own. And likewise I don't want them to feel like they have to avoid certain topics around me because I may get physical.

You talk to people on an equal level though mate which no one in the right mind would have a problem with dispite the difference of opinions . No one likes being spoken down to and we see that on here alot and it usually tends to come from the same like minded individuals.
