Enough is enough

Welll said John Wren. Well spoken Culprit.

Jack, I disagree with most of what you write. On the other hand, at least you can write, which is more than we can say for the clowns who don't know the difference between drivel and dribble but presumably do the latter as they scribble the former.

Problem with the "trolls" as they're called, they've not really broken enough of the rules to be banned. Though there are times when Hiss hijacks a heap of threads, but that's probably more a warning than a banning, as with jack sometimes.

But there are many that have hijacked threads throwing in their tirades at them, ignoring both would be a good idea.

fwiw I'm certain jack spain is a Collingwood supporter, just a very naughty one. You couldn't possibly know as much as he does about a team you didn't support. Just a big shit stirrer

[rocketronnie]

It would be more fun if he was a real hawthorn supporter. The fact that he is some sort of Magpies supporter that Collingwood and life has twisted into that shape is his real tragedy. Ban him if crosses the lines of posting appropriateness but for being the twisted intellectual Quasimodo he is, nah let him be.

That's my opinion - maybe I'm right, maybe I'm not - maybe he is a Hawks troll.

There are many days when I just can't tell....

I think if we disagree with whats happening on the field then thats okay.
Its when it gets personal, to me thats when someone becomes a troll.

I haven't got that from Jack, although we have disagreed on a few occasions.

I agree, would like the mods to react if its personal and i think they do. Don't see any yellow cards for Jack as yet.

MM, if it's a personal attack then you have every right to complain. If it's just a disagreement about the game or team, then mods don't need to react.

In my opinion.

jack kinda reminds me of a few long time Collingwood supporters, that have a fair bit of negativity because of the past and it's more out of frustration than anything. I am sure he loves the club as much as the next person, just his opinion seems to make it less visible.

Just a thought anyway, I don't know him, just seems that way.

Jack would be loving this wouldn't he - being the subject of three pages of posts?! 197 odd to go and he will will rival the Travis Cloke thread.

Anyway Jack, keep posting whatever you want - if it comes to a vote I will vote for you, simply as a matter of procedural justice.

But, please try to be more happy!!

I don't always agree with what Jack says, but I'm sure he is one of us. I have never attacked him when I don't disagree with him, I read what he says and move on. He never attacks anyone personaly, which most people seem to do to him.

JW, Culprit, John B and Tannin have got it right in their posts about Jack he is not a bad guy just a little jaded.

A few others on here are worse than Jack in the fact that they attack you personally if you do not agree with them or their strong opinions. Two in particular. Jack if I ever meet you at he footy I'll have a drink with you.

I think all views should be considered and posted here. If we were all the same, it would be pretty boring.

But as far as Jack goes, you can't argue with Dumb!

[MattyD]

I've had jack on ignore for a while
but find more often than not I want to display what he has written.

I am pretty sure there are some shit stirrers on Nick's who are not Collingwood supporters.

Jack may be one of them but I think there are others.

I think Tannin and JW have said all that needs to be said here. Spain cops a fair bit because a) he's a provocateur and b) he posts a lot. But compared to the bigfooty trolls who have descended on our boards in the last 12 months, he's a breath of fresh air. Personal insults and pissing contests are the centre of their existence here, and I wouldn't be sorry to see them go. Spain at least generally plays the ball, so to speak.

[Jezza]

A lot of people say Jack is a troll and sometimes I do wonder whether people are right or not, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

During my time on the forum, he has posted a lot of pessimistic thoughts which I haven't always agreed with him on, but he has made some very good posts, e.g. His Pre-Grand Final rev-up speech last year.

He's always respected me as a poster from what I can gather so it is a little difficult to completely judge him as a troll, but some others may think differently. I'll keep an open-mind about it. I'd like to think he is genuine poster of the forum and he does indeed love Collingwood, even if he does display it in a different manner.

Hiss on the other hand...
