Voted no, even though I don't agree with practically anything he says, because everyone is entitled to an opinion, whether me/you/we agree with anything or not.

I voted NO, not because I like many of his posts; but because everybody on The Fishy is entitled to an opinion.

As much as I agree with you about his posts, I have to say that he has the right to post his opinions whether we agree with them or not, and God knows, I have disagreed with just about all of them, however he has the right to post his opinions and I do not think he has posted anything on here that warrants him being banned.

The sad thing about this is that if everybody ignored him (and other obvious trolls), they’d soon stop posting. There would be no need to think about bans. But there are always some that help replying. Ooohhhh, I can’t let them say that. Actually yes you can. All they are looking for is any form of attention, good or bad.
If you feed them, they will come.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

Think the person who should be banned is the person who posted this poll,shocking attempt to limit free speech.

I totally agree friskneymariner. Whoever posted this poll should be ashamed of themselves for trying to ban freedom of speech. Something our forefathers and some of us more recently have fought for in HM Forces for many years. Shame on you!

The only problem in this case is that free speech is fine, providing the person is sincerely repeating their real views.
Yoda is a clear troll who hasn't made an honest post on this board, ever. I'd imagine he is delighted with all the attention - he posts such divisive balderdash all the time to try and stir the pot. A pretty pathetic state of affairs for this inadequate, but there you go.
Just add him to your block list.

If Yoda is banned then “the offended” will look for the next poster that says something that they don’t agree with and want to ban them, eventually they’ll be no one left.

First they came for Yoda,I did not object because I did not agree with Yoda,
Then they came for Ruuger, I did not object because I did not agree with Ruuger,
Then they came for Get your facts right I did not, object because I did not agree with Getyourfactsright,
Then they came for me, and they was nobody to object on my behalf.

What has happened in this country? I can't believe there are so many against Freedom of Speech...! It does not matter if you agree or not with Yoda's views. They are his views and he he has a right to say them. I am getting on in years and i know the vast majority of people agree with freedom of speech but i do depair when i see so many who don't...!

The ironic thing is that many are ex service men and Union Jack wavers,who fought to preserve freedom of speech.The last thing the English Defence League are fighting for are British Values. It is the social media values of piling on anybody who doesn't agree. The tactics of the playground bully.

For those who weren’t aware there was a post by the little green fella which was promptly deleted by the mods due to its misogynistic content. That’s what led to the poll with the reference to hating women in the question alternative.
I’m prone to a bit of hating myself - anything from Hull, the bloke from Lincoln who keeps posting on here and cod with my chips but I quite like women, I could’ve been one, I’m the son of one and father to two others. I’m sufficiently offended by someone making horrible posts about women to say he should be banned. That’s why I’ve voted yes and not because I’m against free speech even for annoying little green tw@ts.

Freedom of speech does not come with freedom from responsibility. This seems to be very readily forgotten by some, who start yelling "freedom of speech" the moment they are challenged on something they've said or written

This. And the fact they cannot possibly believe their own shite and are just trolling. I voted yes because they bring the general discussion on the board down, not up, every single time. For their own sake, they need to find something better to do.

You might say Freedom of Speech comes with Freedom of responsibility but you also need to understand we are just taking abount football views. There is no way on earth any of you should be denying Yoda or any one else their opinions on football matters. It's a game! and should be taken that way. Just becsuse you disagree with what he says about football you start a hate campaign against him and like someone else said are no better that the schoolground bullies. Do you know the sad thing is: you just don't get it...!

Do you know the sad thing is: you just don't get it...!
I think there’s two errors in there. Firstly, freedom of speech DOESN’T come with freedom of responsibility, that would imply that we can simply say what we want, how we want with scant regard towards others. Words have the ability to inflict damage just as much - albeit in a different way - to how fists can, sometimes with longer lasting impact. Ultimately, everyone is responsible for what they say and carrying the consequences of when they overstep a mark. Secondly, this poll wasn’t to suggest banning Yoda based on football content, it was relating to misogynistic comments. Granted I didn’t read them so can’t comment on how severe I would have viewed it but clearly it was enough for 70+ people to feel he’d overstepped the mark. Much as his footballing contributions are negative and tiresome after time and he gets pelters for being miserable, no-one has ever suggested banning him for this. What I’ve found ironic reading through this is those who quote the defence of free speech are often the ones who promote the negative view. They’re also suggesting those who voted yes are snowflakes who need to be able to take differing views and for not accepting other views are supposedly bullies. Yet from my time on this forum, the so called ‘snowflakes’ are the ones who engage in rational discussion, consider alternative views and debate their opposing view. The free speech defenders are often the ones who tend to accuse anyone with something remotely positive as the rose tinted brigade who dont have a clue about football and at times also get a little personal. If I’m not mistaken there are rules associated to the board which outline the responsibilities of each poster and every user has agreed to those, just something to consider.

This whole thread epitomises just how poor ‘the fishy’ has become. It used to be a fun board with give and take banter and some cracking regular posters. Now, far too many threads go off topic or get hijacked by those with a political agenda (from both sides). Bring on the red crosses if it makes you feel better. Quite frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Yes, The Rules are clear to see and Yoda has crossed the line with his mysogeny. I trust he has had a warning. If only our mods were a little quicker on some of the bullying which takes place from all sides. In truth, the poll itself was a piece of trolling which Yoda himself might have been proud of. A better moderated board might have more female and junior members?
