Has this sub-forum gone a bit crackers?

Couple posters that have me convinced they read the threads just waiting to pick up on something they can find an argument against. Absolutely nothing wrong with a bit debate but they just can’t let things go neither drag it on for pages and pages. Shame as the cricket forum is class and I learn more about cricket there than anywhere else, love watching a good test or even an ODI with a good thread going,
 
It's a cricket forum, why do people need to throw crap around? I have opinions but would never get upset or bothered if someone disagrees with them. Every sport is not matter of life or death, we all have different points of views. One man's sauce is another man's gravy!!

This. It’s a bit disappointing that regular contributors, who are generally positive and good craic (even if we disagree with them) are copping bans. Reduces the quality of the board imho.

bans entirely got by the new influx.

much like the bairstow situation, it's on them to control their actions and ideally just use the ignore function to not get themselves in bother, but it's still deliberately shan behaviour by a bunch of unsporting twats looking for reactions.

Who are you on about? The reason it's been bad is the same people, who can't leave shit alone.

It's been horrendous on here since May when the football was season still in place.

Was actually better than its been for a while cos someone got banned. Another someone gets under people's skin and they take it too far.

PMs get thrown about and people get personal and abusive.

I dunno like you hoy as many insults around as the next man imo if people share a differnet opinion
I like the Rat. When the forum had less people on we had massive arguments but took it on the chin and usually the next day he had cooled down we were good again. The larger the forum has got the worse it has got but in general its still a good place to discuss cricket. There are some excellent posters on here who I respect but have regular disagreements with and there's nowt wrong with that.

There is no doubt the rat is extremely knowledgeable about cricket whether people agree with him or not.

And I have disagreed with him plenty!

No doubt in my mind, I also like the fact when there is a opportunity to defend England rather than having a go at them.

The majority of times he defends them, where imo there is many of others who see it the other way and take every opportunity to criticize England.

As @redandwhiterob mentions you see posters suddenly start posting more when we struggling who post far less when we doing well

I apologise for being insulting to you yesterday. I was just angry and annoyed at England, you were making a valid enough point.

I really don't throw around insults. First in a while.

I swear a lot granted but not aimed at posters.

One is one isn't I don't get it though he'd been on mustard and onions account a little while other people are on a second account and it's okay

No idea chief. I’d prefer he was unbanned, I like all the different characters of the SMB. It’s great having people you see eye to eye with, but I also love that there’s certain people you constantly disagree with about absolutely everything.

There's disagreeing and disagreeing though. You can disagree without the whole "haway man, log off, don't get this view at all like" bollocks
