Just to clarify, as mine was the post you've quoted - I haven't done any of the things you've mentioned.
Sorry wasn't suggesting that at all

There was at least one post on the original thread where someone said they would physically assault Newman if they saw him at a Town game. It received plenty of green ticks but now almost everyone is saying they didn't see.
It is not ok to threaten someone in that manner. It's not good enough to say "free speech" or "it's just because we care" or "just letting off steam" which i believe is the standard catch-all excuse for saying totally unacceptable stuff on the Fishy. Newman is reasonably well known and recognisable and I believe he attends many matches despite living in Scotland so if he was the one who complained I wouldn't blame him.
The bit where I say 'I MUST HAVE MISSED A POST' should give you a slight clue that I hadn't seen the post !!!!!!! FFS

Didn't mean to imply any wrong doing from you (I can see how it may read like that though). My apologies. My beef is with all the people going off on one about the club censoring the good fans North Korean style and claiming outright there was nothing wrong in the original thread.

Then why not just remove the offending post and ban that particular poster? You know as well as I do where the club's problem lies, and that's with people objecting to a potential source of income. Fans are well within their rights to voice their concerns and objections, and in the initial thread there was very little discussion about the club at all - it was mainly around the morally reprehensible secondary ticketing market. The Club wading in has now dragged GTFC officially into the dirt, excellent work from someone there.

Ok. Obviously an emotive subject. If it was specified that the thread was removed due to threats of violence I could understand. But that doesn't seem to be the case. It just appears that someone in an official capacity asked for the thread to be removed. Most of us are aware of what happened last time this board upset 'the club'. Unfortunately it's a lose lose situation. Roll on next season when we have proper reasons to moan. 70th minute like for like substitutions, big punt to Monkeys replacement, etc etc 😉

To delete threads making libelous statements about someone involved with the Club (either as a sponsor, director or employee) is fair and reasonable. It isn't reasonable when the information is in the public domain and is, in fact, a link to a press article. Some won't care how he makes his money - some will find his activities objectionable and will say the club should not take his money....that is fair argument and no reason to remove the thread!

Threats of any kind must not be interpreted as freedom of speech. Threatening to harm others is extreme and crosses the line of personal opinion into criminal behaviour.
The 'Forum Rules' ([url=http://thefishy.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1377632884/]link[/url]) doesn't really cover this and to be honest I would like to see this included, but it's common sense. Post what you do at your own risk.

'To make libelous statements about someone involved with the Club (either as a sponsor, director or employee) is fair and reasonable.' You might want to rethink that before someone's on your case
