It seems pretty clear after reading some posts on certain threads that there exists a rivalry between the two sites.

I wasn't aware there was one and I've been a member of both for a fair while, although mostly as a reader on the BBS, but there are a fair few who post on both. The two sites have a different feel to them and there is a tendency for one to be more right-of-centre than the other, but they're both good sites in their own way. There is occasionally a bit of jokey posting on one site about the other, but rivalry, I don't think so.

Some post on both, some prefer the BBS and some prefer HOL. It has often been the case that people banned from this site will take pot shots at us from the safety of another site and vice versa. In such situations most of the rubbish spouted is highly one sided on both sites much as in a divorce where both sides tell a different story.

I think it's easy to take things personally on the BBS when you got endlessly abused by the usual clique but after observing the site for a number of years I have realised that the regulars on the discussion threads were not 'innocently' objecting to opinions but in fact spend half their lives trolling, abusing and bullying selected posters, more often than not, just for their opinions. On the HOL you just don't get away with that stuff as much, which is a very good thing, and that is the major difference. I have never observed any sort of rivalry.

There's loads on the BBS home matchday threads that are on every week, and don't have their location miles or oceans away.

Its 2018 maybe they should come out.

One thing I could never get my head around on the BBS was their obsession with former posters. How paranoid stupid and self righteous do you have to be to believe that anyone who disagrees with your tosh must be the same person? And how dumb do you have to be not to realise that if you ban posters just for being a former poster when they actually aren't, you will only make them want to resign up for 'revenge'. People have a sense of injustice and they won't let it lie. As with so much else in life, you get the posters you deserve. I'm laughing as I write this.

It's nice on here now to be able to post your view on a topic without the left mob descending and calling you a fascist or a racist or a Tory or whatever.

Anyway, it's nice that you like to keep an eye on me, make sure I'm OK and all that. I'm moved. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (13 Jan 2018 4.01pm)
