Imagine moving from one Dons message board to another.

Wouldn't catch me doing that.

I wonder how Red John is getting on?

I’m only there because there isn’t enough chat in here . When you find you were responsible for the last 3 posts in a thread you start to realise you might be having a conversation with yourself and need to find new avenues.

I'll try harder.

The folk that executed Jean Charles de Menezes, strip searched school kids, employed Wayne ‘The Beast’ Couzens & David Carrick, secretly filmed arrested women in the toilet & ripped the pish out of murdered sisters in a group chat, want the Green Party to turn it down a notch

That hat is mental.

The Pub section is full of entitled bile. Very hunnish at times.

I have read P&B but never took to the leap to joining it.

If there was a law passed that everyone on an internet forum had to use their real name and have a photo of them as their profile picture, stripping everyone of their anonymity, that entire forum would change overnight.

If that was the law there wouldn't be any internet forums.

That's probably a fair shout. But that said, there are plenty of boomers on fezbook who use their real names and say incredibly stupid shit.

Like @manc_don says, Facebook and the likes still have people posting away. 

But my point was, 90% of what is being posted wouldn't make it past drafts if you thought the target of your abuse was going to be able to identify you at the next home game.

I've worked with some of the prominent posters off the hat and they don't hide their opinions. 

Toned down a bit at work, but not far off the shit they spout on the hat.

Well election day today. No idea how it is going to turn out, but I still don't think the SNP will be in power after the counting is finished and not convinced they will do well, even though the polls suggest otherwise. 

I took down my note on the front door, asking political parties not to knock and 30 minutes after I got a knock on the door from the SNP.

I also got stopped by a Tory in Westhill yesterday, when I was out for my lunchtime walk. I was civil enough, but he knows he won't be counting on my vote.

Nobody ever comes to my house. I have the kettle filled and ready. Sometimes it's just nice to talk to someone.
