Before I even type this I know it will upset some but sadly over the last few days reading what mainly is a great site there is a lot of sniping over opinions, if an opinion is shared in a decent fashion then how can it be wrong? We may not always agree but surely this is what the second section ( banter ) is about, I came off social media about 5 years ago ( Facebook ) best thing I ever did, seing the petty snipes an gripes off them absolutely destroyed me, I only have watsap now an my life is far better for it as I used to get mad at the obsessed goon posts, I actually came across this site by pure chance and on a whole it's class it's become a daily ritual, I'm quite sure I'm not alone, it's i presume mainly bears on here I know I'm classed as a " newbie " and might not hold any sway at the min but we are all here for the love of the club, and we all want what's best, some of the arguements I feel at times is like who's better mccoist or hately, both class just depends on what your looking for, anyway sorry for the essay troops, United we stand, Divided we fall WATP.

good morning mate, have a beautiful 12th.

Gjd good post, you keep posting.

12 Jul 2022 06:49:14
Gjd great post. I done the same with Facebook I 100% agree with you best thing I ever done. Some of the nonsense on it would lower your mood.

12 Jul 2022 07:13:22
Well said my friend, I hate FB as well. Hardly ever on the thing!

The sniping is fun to read it makes the site more interesting just don’t take it to heart.

Terrific post GJD83 and you're correct this does happen on here quite a bit and i hold my hands up that i've done it regarding other supporters opinions but i've also had it done to myself many times on here! I think i've calmed down a bit regarding my participation in this sort of behaviour because you're correct it isn't called for! So again mate i applaud you for a very heartfelt, well written post ???.

Dictionary definition of BANTER: 'The playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks'. As this site is called Rangers Banter, presumably the moderators thought the definition appropriate. Like others, I don't do Facebook, Twitter or any other social media apart from LinkedIn, which is a business media site, and of course this one! Let's exchange 'banter' but cut out the personal sniping.

2Blue, whilst I agree that sometimes it’s fun to read the sniping, I think it’s unfair to invalidate how someone else feels about it. It’s obviously enough of an issue to compel someone to make a whole post about it. On my side, that’s perhaps part of the problem: before posting maybe there could be more thought out into how things might make others feel. I’m in the same boat where I was a long term reader and wanted to participate but very quickly found several commenters to be a bit rude. I come here because I love Rangers, not for increased anxiety. I think that it’s a good maxim to follow to consider whether or not a post would be something you would say to another in real life. If not, then maybe reword. And certainly don’t invalidate the feelings of another fan by dismissing their genuine post. Banter is light hearted, the fact that some members here are in and off because others have made them feel bad is perhaps evidence that it’s a bit more than banter. Just my opinion but I’m pretty sure there are more people who feel the same. A website forum can only be successful with a community. The same few people being passive aggressive isn’t community it’s territorial.

Welcome GJD83, great post, as someone has said, don't take it personally if someone snipes at you, keep calm, keep posting mate.

12 Jul 2022 07:56:13

12 Jul 2022 08:19:59
Welcome GJD I’m the same came off Facebook etc for the same reasons! The sites good most of the time folk do get a bit carried away from time to time but on the whole its good, I hope you enjoy posting ??.

12 Jul 2022 08:37:11
This is 2022 and unfortunately everyone is so easily offended. Chill out guys! State your opinions without fear or favour and expect differing views. But don't sulk it's not personal lol lol. Man up. oops . person up people.

Ronald, I agree with what you are saying, some people take criticism quite badly and are affected by it. In the past on this site I was on the receiving end of some mean comments, but you just have to get on with it, take it on the chin, and pick yourself up. Its life, like it or not. Perhaps people shoulld take a little bit of time and think carefully before shooting someone down.

Fair play GJD83, from what I've seen when a few people have a go, there's usually plenty of others come out and call them out for it, it's a reflection of society, as is social media but overall its a warm, well balanced site with most of us having the one thing in common, that we love our club.

@GJD83

Great Post.

If they have nothing nice or positive to say move on.
Try and be supportive.

12 Jul 2022 12:06:47
I have been guilty of it and it has happened to me but just need to take it as it is banter no point getting upset over it mate just ignore it when it happens and keep posting.

12 Jul 2022 12:12:09
