Personally, I don't mind fans of other teams coming here. Expecting them to be rational seems silly, since no rational person would be an Aints fan, but I think "friendly" rivalry - without over-the-top personal attacks - is fair for Radical to expect, from them and us.

This is a topic affecting Falcons fans, and it needs a place. It can have one, or it can have many - so I think the answer is obvious to prevent the whole board becoming cluttered again.

However, I do miss some of our past posters, and do wish we could do something to get them back (including Beef, whom I assume will return very shortly after whatever cool-off he needed - I did not see what happened).

I agree with you, it needs to be contained. The thread should be opened as a new sticky in my opinion put some rules in at the top and if possible lock offenders out of the thread like you can out of chat. But don't lock them off the whole board and away from places where they are valued and not perpetually wound up.

Sometimes I think people needed to be allowed to say how they fell about a situation or a person but yeah I think I recall beed going off the deep end. I know a few days ago I laid into Guido and told him exactly what I thought of what he was doing. I couldn't care more or less about him as a person because I don't know him, but this I'm not doing anything wrong act is ridonculous. Stop making out like you mean well and just embrace the fact that you are trolling these boards.

I like fans from other teams being here we had a few and they've gone away for whatever reasons but I like fans with actual sense and respect. Guido has no respect for the posters on here to continually be insulting people's intelligence with the stuff he is writing and using as arguments against them. That's not informed discussion that is trolling.

I spend a lot of time on the Falcoholic now. And week after week there are fans from other teams stopping by to chat and discuss or debate issues with their team or our team and the match up and I have not seen this long running agro go on with the ones that stick around and continue to post long after the game is played J Peso is a good example of that. Dude has been around since 2010. Treats the falcons as his second team. But he will criticize and analyse in a way that even if it is plain blunt you know he aint trying to get a rise out of people or play nice before coming at you sideways again.

I struggle to graps why Guido and or moderators/admins can't seem to even admit that he is doing this whether he is being offensive or not. Has the guy got Jedi mind tricks or something
