I think it's just a little frustration given what's gone on recently as I also misread it at first but then read it again and got your point and I agree

Anyway apologies for those on a phone as this is a TL;DR post but I'm a fast typist so just ignore it if you can't be arsed to spend a minute or 2 reading it.
As I've said elswhere the thread was called Takeover RUMOURS and this is a forum for discussion so I'm quite happy for anyone to say any old shite, whether it's genuinely passed on in good faith or speculated (as long as they make it clear) or even just a rumour they've heared themselves as I can make up my own mind. The blatant continuous bullshitters will soon be found out but there's been a few posters passed on info on and many appreciate that. You've also had posters who said they've had something to pass on but won't share it as they've seen what happens yet why is it some won't accept that people can get info that may not be public?
There's no denying Reiver said it's done and that's his opinion based on what he's been told and shown. He'd even predicted tomescales but it didn't happen yet some took this as fact and kept regurgitating this days and weeks after. However the BBC, ALS, Roker Report, Nick Barnes and other sources have all said stuff also and this adds to the disappointment and frustration but a lot was hoyed Reiver's way.
The problem is when posters like
@Mrjardine,
@PhilSAFC and
@The Rat blatantly troll and then try to play all innocent about it when other posters then start to lose their patience with them. You also get the usual few posters backing up the trolling with posts or likes and sometimes even the bullying card is pulled out FFS

You can't deny it's the minority who have acted this way as I would say it's been no more than a handful of posters spoiling it for the majority of 100's if not 1,000's as this will include shit loads of lurkers who may post very little or nowt at all. It got to the point where the 2 threads were f***ing shite at times and even now reading this particular thread I see
@Mrjardine has been bitching on about Reiver yet again as most of his posts are about or directed at him. Fuck me man, how pathetic is that as it's a clear obsession as he's bleating on about it wherever he can and Reiver has been banned how long now?
I've modded forums and even ran my own years ago and appreciate what the mods do here but I'd dare say I could pick a handful of members posts to remove and it would take away 90% of the shite we've seen on here. If I ask you to take off you mod hat and disregard whatever you think of Reiver, you've got to agree as a normal board member there were times when the trolling added fuck all to the thread and if anything took away from it and the ultimately the forum? So fuck if Reiver has been embellishing a little (he's even admitted this and I'm not denying he's a knob at times either) but as I've said many posters will appreciate what he (and others) have shared and they can then make their own judgement on it. It's clear a few posters obviously don't like the bloke and try to have a go whenever they can and it got a but repetitive numerous times.
It even got to the point where the info
@Grumpy Old Man was passing info on and then the trolling then got directed at him

You've no doubt seen what's been said elsewhere about it all, the bit tit for tat between the 2 forums and members and even you and Reiver

though this forum will stil thrive regardless. However there's no denying many members who aren't keen on the shite we've seen in recent weeks have taken the time to go over to not606 and this place has missed out a little. The ones causing the friction will no doubt pull the same shit whenever they can the next time and for me this just spoils the forum. It's great on here as the rules are relaxed but here's hoping that on certain occasions it's nipped in the bud and the threads can thrive
