Dr. Tony Xia Retweeted .
Our plan is to add 7-8 new players . We have 3 bids ongoing and two loans negotiating.It will work out as planned.

Doesn't give much away does he.

See I don't think he's giving much away in terms of real information. In fact I would say he's simply fulfilling the promise he made when he arrived and all this talk of him being skint or skepticism of not supporting the manager is proving unfounded. We've taken our time to evaluate players, add and subtract. Not everything is ever going to go 100% to plan, but it hasn't been all that bad.

And can we please not use terms like "cancer" when talking about players, no matter how shite they are.

And Chris, it was obviously a joke, so wind your neck in.

So the word Cancer is banned from the site no matter what the definition?

Which bit of "when talking about players" did you miss?

Unless of course we hear of a player with cancer I suppose.

Over the top reaction by all.  Cancer is not solely a medical term, and if the original poster was alluding to his supposed malign influence on the dressing room, it wouldn't be wide of the mark.

Of course it is, 'Cancer' is widely used as a metaphor in all sorts of situations. If anyone finds that offensive I suggest they grow a thicker skin. 

I suggest you accept that people find different things offensive.

I accept it, but that doesn't make it right. However I know you love nothing better than sitting a top your righteous high horse so I will leave it at that.

No, you'll just leave.

Such a predictable response.

No surprise that you are in the camp that lack the capacity to understand literary metaphor. Time and time again you show your lack of basic critical reasoning skills.

You are a genuine embarrassment to this website

You missed out the bit where you say you know you're going to get banned. Would you like another go?

He hasn't gone out of his way to say something that is aimed at another member to offend. You don't seem to be able to accept that and need the last word, usually insinuating a ban.  Let the two people sort it out themselves, I'm sure they can come to an agreement without others putting their two cents in.

Just let me recap here. This is because I able to understand context and don't find a relatively benign comment offensive. I wasn't in anyway rude just merely stated an opinion.

This site is on the whole moderated excellently, especially when compared to other football websites given that tempers often flare up.

It seems to me that save for the obvious trolls the vast majority of bannings that occur including many long standing posters seem to due to be disagreements with you.

I will let others be the judge of why that is.

I am one of the others and I find flip comments about carcinoma offensive.  If anything the moderators in this site allow far too much latitude to posters who claim immunity because others take their comments at face value.

Not that I need to justify myself to you or anyone else, I made one comment, namely that all posters should accept that others might find certain things offensive. How anyone can find fault or pick an argument with that is beyond me.
