Maggots best?

It does appear that if you're open about any affiliations to organisations that you suddenly become a lightning rod for all criticisms aimed at them – I'm sure Danny04 was aware of that when he stated it.

I wasn't!

You should have realised by now that the forum is manned by experts in all subjects - football, finance, politics. elf&safety, tree-conservation and yes, even journalism!
Most of us can cover everything

Get's my award for 'post of the month'.

You forgot to mention that the level of expertise also increases later in the day and in direct proportion to alcoholic consumption.

I wasn't!

You are now. That's why I keep it quiet that I'm Gary Megson, I'd get some right shit if people knew that.

Try being Kevin McCabe for a day. You ginger tosser.

Thats very unfair.

I'm rarely pissed before 8pm.

Danny04 Well I stand by both the things I pulled you up for because you were just making excuses for The Star not having produced anything as good as the Bleacher Report on deadline day. Now if you want to defend the paper you write for fine but don't complain that people are always at you when it's you initiating the conflict.

He's not complaining though, is he?

He has defended the Star's coverage as being more regular and relevant that the Bleacher report and IMHO missed a trick, by not acknowledging how good that report was.

He has defended his corner, perhaps a bit over zealously, but he certainly hasn't come over as moaning or complaining. As for 'initiating the conflict' he has faced some stark criticism of the Star. I would say he has reacted rather than initiated.

Give the lad a break.

None of the above things are relevant to what I said! (Multiple strawmen, as they say in the US).
My point was, he said The Star couldn't do what The Bleacher Report did and gave 2 reasons, I pulled up the reasons as being nonsense (either a poor way to run a 'news' paper, he'd got the wrong end of the stick or a blatant untruth). Yes he has defended his corner but given how he did it (see previous sentence) didn't help his cause.
Some posters have started feeling sorry for him but I restated my position; if you are going to argue on a forum try and make sure you do it competently.

I wouldn't say I've put anything that feels sorry, just that I don't feel the need to attack him any more than I feel the need to attack you. I've got way too much serious shite in the real world, to be honest on here is an escape from the fucking madness for me. Surely we can respect opinions even if we don't agree *

*except my position on Sprouts. Anyone who doesn't think they are the work of Satan are wrong, plain and simple

I've acknowledged several times how good the report was, on here and on Twitter! Great access and a great read.
