Never noticed that, seems a bit pointless if you can just edit the contents out of it.

That's what I've done, thanks. Even posts that haven't had replies are minus the X so that's a bummer.

Other way round I think with the sucking?

This seems to be extreme. Why do you not just ignore posts you do not like?
Life is too short to get angry all of the time.

Not so much angry (but a bit - yes) but as we (there's a small group now) get increasingly involved in the club and its people via our work with the women's teams, it is quite clear that having a presence on this board is counter-productive and is starting to get in the way of what we're trying to achieve. Imagine if your teenage daughter is in the youth team and, as a parent, you read this board. It's just a few people who post this crap (I guess) and it is a place for mavericks, I have no problem with that but it isn't somewhere that fits well with our aims.
You are right to an extent, I am personally tired of the smart-arsery and baiting that goes on so this is something of a girly flounce but I judge the time is right to go now. I'm a little sad because we do get encouragement and interest from quite a few boarders on here -thank you folks, your responses were much appreciated. Life goes on at https://lofcwomen.com and look out for coverage soon in the fanzines.

Believe me, this board is a far, far better place for those with teenage daughters into playing football than it used to be

I do apologise if I’ve played a part in you making this decision (which by the sounds of things I may have done). I’m sorry to hear that you no longer wish to take part on this board.

My intention has only ever been to talk about Orient and ask the occasional inoffensive “big question” to people as I enjoy the conversation it stimulates.

Unfortunately we have one user who has decided that a Leyton Orient message board is the place where they can rant and rave about controversial topics. I don’t have a problem with that in principle but when that person started up entire threads to abuse people, including moderators, who said something they don’t like and also generally started to take over the board with their feud about the conflict on Israel (I remind you…on a Leyton Orient message board) then I felt it was too far. I also didn’t like how this one boarder had decided that their personal grievance was justification for normalising the use of abusive language towards others on here. All in a quest to be told that they are “right”.
I took the decision to voice my opinion on such toxic behaviour and the fallout continues today because one person simply cannot be satisfied until they are validated with the assertion that they are “right”. About everything. All the time.

Anyway, best of luck for the future.

"Girly flounce"?!

Hey Fisch, we all get sucked in occasionally on here but unfortunately there are a couple on here that like to do that to people, however there are far more reasonable people than idiots, I for one would like to read your views on the club even if we disagree. Stay with it mate and ignore the idiots

Can you point me in the direction of what has upset you?

From someone passionate about women’s football!

Someone announces that they have been driven to leave the board.

CEBs response? Have a dig at them.

Who is REALLY the problem on here?

We could believe that it’s literally anyone who CEB disagrees with. Which seems to be his position. Or, could it be possible that there’s a common theme about who is the real issue here?

There is an example of an idiot CEB,that’s what they want you to do is reply to their crap.

But it’ll somehow be Fischs fault. CEB is right. And smarter than anyone who responds. Everyone else is the one trying to start feuds. Never his fault. CEB knows more about women’s football than everyone on the board. We should all respond to CEB with statements that he has drafted for us.

Blah blah blah

What on earth is this about?

It seems to be a completely self generated flounce. Nobody provoked it.

As I predicted back during the original kerfuffle, indulging CEBs public tantrum has allowed his manipulative toxicity to spread across this board - including the normalisation of abusing other boarders and has started to ruin the experience for other boarders. Most of whom just want to come on here to talk about Orient, not engage with somebody who hounds people into the ground to seek validation that they are “right” about everything from the conflict in Israel to trans rights.

His relentless pursuit of a feud with me, which he has been trying to reignite ever since I actively started ignoring him (something he admitted to doing) has driven Fisch away from this place.


It’s a shame that one boarder is able to have a negative impact on this place.

I had been quite enjoying my time on here after my enforced time off. Engaging in conversations about the great win over Bolton at the weekend. But the whole time CEB was in the background trying to get my attention, goading me into the response that he clearly wanted and has now got.

I really just want him to foe me and stop trying to get my attention by liking every single post I make.

Rev - Did/do you also follow Liverpool FC? And have you ever posted a photo of yourself on a previous incarnation of this board, whilst sat in what looked like an under-the-stairs cupboard?
