Going to block anyone here who posts utter nonsense about “farmers’ leagues” or “cry more” or anything else just designed to get a cheap thrill. Has been nice to have civility and to not run into any of that since leaving the dark place.

The worst thing about Kane doing really well in Germany is the misconception that it must be a farmer’s league because one of the best strikers in the world can in fact score lots of goals when he’s coached well
What got me thinking about this was walking through the supermarket last night. Imagine our reaction if random people chose to shout things like that at us while shopping. Don’t think we would find it acceptable & if anyone did, we would not give access to them.
Don’t think your shopping analogy works Derek (that’s me blocked 😅). Shopping is very much a private pursuit, whereas this is all about opinions and discussion.
It works. Opinions and discussion doesn’t mean say anything no matter how rude or nonsensical to someone you don’t even know. We used to have self-imposed limits on that.
No but I don’t come to a platform like this to solicit banter either. To share news about German football mostly: not to read infantile responses designed to get a cheap laugh.
I think it works perfectly. If I'm shopping and walk past someone wearing an NWSL team's jersey and we casually start talking about recent results, it would be beyond weird and rude if another shopper saw us chatting amiably and walked up to shout something misogynistic about women playing soccer.
I think X somehow created an environment where that sort of abuse was encouraged. Let's hope it does not appear here. Personally I would like everyone to give their real name online so they can't hide behind a pseudonym. But that might just be me.

I barely trust me to build my own.
I've been racially abused the past two days. Literally tracked by those with far-right insignias in said profiles.
I hate it here. Almost worse than * X * but I just block now.
