That thread lowered the tone of Green and Gold to an arcimious site of personal abuse, outright lies and covertly racist rants.Generally speaking, look at how polite, professional and emotional intelligent our threads are these days. Largely, because the Cyber Trolls have no venue, in which to pedal their insidious agendas of hate. Those, Trolls were neither professional, intelligent or socially well balanced. The fact they only participated on that thread, reveals and highlights that they were neither interested and completely unable to contribute, to the discussions on Schoolboy Rugby.
Now, compare the intellectual mediocre of the Trolls, to the clever humour of Joker or the insightful commentaries of Quick Hands. Yes, Bob Hart might feel a bit put out by Joker's highlighting of Joeys scores against Scots. But it works both ways, as one Scots supporter and I suspect he was a rather proud father, was happy to place film highlights of Scots 16As beating Newington on two occasions. and beating them convincingly.Hence, there is no real harm in a bit of chest pounding school pride, as long as it is done with good taste. The Trolls had no such good taste,
So the moderators made the right decision, in barring any further comments on that thread.As this site is a Rugby site. As such it should express an atmosphere of gentrified, professional elegance and sophiscation. Trolls on the on other hand, belong on a site more that is more in keeping, their socially inept bogan outlook. May I suggest live baiting with Grey Hound Racing.
