Unlikely, Barney wasn't an argumentative attention seeker from what I remember.
Thanks for making a snide, one-line drive-by attack in a thread that has otherwise been pretty nuanced and civil, despite various points of disagreement. Very helpful!
I think CODY has been balanced.
Non-sarcastic thanks for that, Wombles - you make some very fair points in the rest of this post, and while I don't concur with all of them, you've certainly given me food for thought.
How do you know who Grendel is then?
This isn't quite the "gotcha!" you seem to think it is, I'm afraid - I've been visiting SBT on and off since the most recent bond update two weeks ago, in an attempt to see what the 'other side' makes of it all, and Grendel appears to be quite a notorious prat even among his fellow CCFC fans.
Calm down CoDY; you're in danger of imploding.
I'm trying to stay calm, Wonky, really I am - not easy in this heat, speaking as someone who finds anything above 25°C to be uncomfortable! - but it gets a bit tiresome to face accusations of acting in bad faith on such a regular basis. I'm sure you can understand that. As for "imploding", it certainly isn't my intention to lose my rag and get myself banned, if that's what you mean.
I guess it boils down to expectation. CODY wanted a full dialogue around five or six things. Personally, I think the statement is more than Richardson was obliged to do (which was nothing). Neither expectation is wrong. Contrary to what some outside of this forum think there is plenty of disagreement here but it’s conducted in a reasoned manner - differing opinions don’t indicate interlopers. Let’s be honest - if someone wanted to set up a fake account just to wind people up that’s very much their problem.
Thank you, Shugs - as with Wombles' post above, this was greatly appreciated, despite our differing perspectives on Richardson's statement.
The club is solid, there are no plans for CVAs or other financial implements.
But Richardson's comments didn't preclude anything but administration, as TeflonTed and SBSam have already pointed out. That's what bugged me in the first place!
Thanks to anyone who bothered to read this far, and apologies for the War and Peace-esque post.
