Until he reappears 😂
Yes he’s cantankerous, yes he’s a pain in the backside, argumentative, confrontational, whatever..but are you really back to the days of limiting folk/banning folk because others rise to the bait??
Come on…get a grip. There’s worse examples on here than him imho.
He’s harmless. Whether you disagree with him or not.

But you can't say stuff like you are a true supporter and others aren't because they are thinking of not attending any more. We get that you can't attend in person, and that is not the issue.
I have no problem whatsoever with you watching games from home, and hope you get some enjoyment from it, but when I said last week that I wouldn't be attending next season, you basically told me to get lost, and that I wasn't a true fan. If you say stuff like that, then you have to expect a reaction, especially when you are viewing games in the manner that you do, because it is hypocritical. Can't you see that?
I have no axe to grind with you and I said it's down to each individual to make their own choices.
You are not the only one who suffers from mental health problems. I'm going through some sad sh1t myself at the moment, and attending BP is supposed to be a relief. It isn't.
I hope things get better for you. I went through a terrible time in 2018 and hoped going to BP would help me feel better but it made things worse, something I wouldn't have believed possible. Best wishes.

I don't want to get involved in discussions about BAWB posts but you might as well accuse anyone who gets a concession ST or benefits from the Early Bird deal of " short changing the club". I benefit from a concession because I am over 75 so should I donate my savings back to the club ?
That’s not really relevant to what we’re talking about here, nor was it the point that anyone was making. But anyway he’s left and probably for the best given that he was behaving in the way he was.

But BAWB will still watch televised town matches, his only means of seeing them ,if town get relegated. Loads of posters on here have said they won't renew their ST's if we go down.

He asked to leave. Normally I give people 24 hours to confirm, but in his case I removed him straight away.

There's a huge spectrum between having a season ticket while going to every game and taking no interest in games whatsoever. Most people I imagine will go to some or most games and listen to the rest on the radio or watch by "other" means. A lot of people have only been season ticket holders for a short time and will just revert to their old habits of buying individual tickets.

The point I was making is that BWAB can only watch town via the TV due to his disabilities but was accused of " short changing the club" because he contributes through Mariner Player or whatever way he watches. He will still watch every game even if we get relegated so he will still contribute to the club.

He was accusing others of not being true fans so people reacted and some hit back at him. Nobody should accuse anyone else of not being a "proper" fan. There are plenty of people who go to every game and don't spend a second discussing the team online. Other people have second and third clubs. Only each person truly knows how much of a fan they are.

Does anyone on here know BAWB’s identity?
I think it would be good to check up and make sure he’s ok so if anyone knows him would you mind doing this or maybe pm me and if I can be put in contact with him without breaching confidentiality I would be happy to have a chat with him.
I say this because the nature of his posts, taking things literally, lack of nuance and over reacting suggest possible mental health or neurodiversity issues. Whatever you think about his opinions and ‘misdemeanours’ TheFishy was clearly an important part of his life which he has suddenly lost and he may be vulnerable.
I think he deserves some support if he needs it.
