Fenty Ban Poll (Merged)

Cancel culture is wrong

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Which posters got banned for having a dig at Fenty EF? Can’t remember them, only the odd neo-Nazi type banned for other reasons.

I can't remember the names, it's going back many years now. Some weren't banned, but scared off with legal threats. Then there's those who were invited in for a tete-a-tete with Fenty after posting something on the fishy.

We can talk about freedom of speech, but there are a number of ways people can have their freedom shut down. Fenty has controlled this board for a number of years by being allowed to have his way.

He might be the worst owner/chairman in our long history, but he’s got every right to post his egotistical nonsense on here.

When he does it’s like shooting fish in a barrel for some of us…

We just got rid of a group being dictators and now some folk want to dictate on here.

Cant ban people because you don't like there views, even if that is the norm for the supposed free world now.

Ironic that the moderators of this forum are having a poll, a democratic vote, and many responses are saying you can't just ban people.

It's not like they are simply banning someone, they are asking the question to see what the overall view is. And more don't want him banned than do. Fair enough. If he isn't banned, individuals can block him or ignore him.

If he stays, perhaps he can answer the Trust shares question. (I dont expect an answer)  

We could have a follow up poll, what do fans think should happen from the proceeds from the shares?

Those shares that Mike Parker gifted to the Trust.

Don't know, but pretty sure it wasn't any of the mod team that started this poll? We've had a separate discussion about GYFR's posting privileges away from the main forum.

If *ANY* member of the forum breaks the rules outlined in the Sticky post, they can expect to be initially advised about future posting and if they persistently breach the rules, they'll be removed from the forum. It's happened a few times in the past, but not very many, and it'll happen again in future. GYFR is no different to any poster, never has been.

Remember, this is a privately run, independent website that Rob dedicates many hours to. He closed the forum before and he's not willing to let it get to that point again.

Ok, also not 100%sure who.started the.poll, presume the first poster, but anyway, appreciate the reply.

I think this forum gets unnecessarily a bad press, on twitter in particular, and I enjoy the range of.views it airs, and appreciate Rob and the team's hard work.

I say this while doing OK in the prediction league!

Let's hope the fishy continues and doesn't need closing again!!

Suggest move this post away from Fishy and we all continue to support the current leaders and forget about GYFR. If he wants to post drunk at 2am he’s making an even bigger male private (if at all possible) of himself. He’s no longer in my thoughts - i’m ignoring .  UTM

For what reasons?
