Quoted from GrimRob
Is there that much difference to posting on here and tweeting? The media is full of tweets from public figures every day, some of them much more controversial than saying "quiet on here" (which it always is anyway after Town win!).


Good point Rob - you're right, there isn't much difference.

The one BIG difference is that the majority of public figures who tweet have the considerable weight of PR agencies behind them, so they're constantly being advised on their social strategy, when to post, how to engage, who's worth ignoring, who's worth targeting, measuring the sentiment of the responses. The controversial things they say are often very well planned and very closely managed, designed to get a response, provoke discussion and raise profiles in the right environments (at the right time).

I very much doubt Fenty has any of this behind him.

Quoted from RichMariner
Fair enough if you don't agree Garth, but it's not exactly 'bull'. It's just my perspective on things.

As a senior figure at the football club it's vital that he comes across as professional. He reflects our football club. That doesn't mean he can't engage with the fans on here, but it does mean that people are constantly judging him, and therefore judging our club.

I don't want to see our major shareholder, or any senior figure, responding to fans on here who wind him up. He should rise above that. So it might only be 'friendly banter' but it does more harm than good in the long run.

If/when Town lose a couple on the bounce, he'll get more personal criticism and vitriol on here from those fans he's targeting than he otherwise would if he didn't acknowledge them.

Just to be clear - I'm perfectly happy for him to engage with fans on here. But he needs to be careful when he posts, and what he talks about, otherwise the whole situation will escalate and before you know it someone else will post defamatory comments and he'll again be asking for the site to be taken down.

It all might seem fine right now while everyone's feeling relatively positive following a couple of good results, but wait for the moment we lose two on the bounce and this message board will become a very different forum.

That's a terrible response - you've only quoted part of the first highlighted sentence and taken it totally out of context.

That may be so but the two statements do contradict each other.

No they don't. You can still generally engage with fans while ignoring those trying to wind you up.

They don't at all. One is about engaging in the fans in general, the other is specifically about the winding-up element. Personally I don't have a huge problem with John's posts and think there was a bit of an overreaction, but I understand where others are coming from in that is somewhat unprofessional. But then I like the fact that it is so, shows he's one of us at heart, despite his role.

Always much easier to create a contradiction when you cut off a chunk of the sentence!

We will probably say the same with Oscar Pistorious before long.

Too right though. Context is everything if a quote is to reflect meaning.

You and the other guy quite clearly have a problem reading more than a few words together.

Try reading it again a bit more slowly and you will see that the statements don't contradict each other.
