Sorry, he has in the past, maybe he has changed tactics!
And you obviously didn't get my 'obsessive' dig at myself in my earlier post! Although I wouldn't call it obsessive ...
...I like posting on the United board, I have gained a reputation (good or bad) for being a WUM on your board, but to be honest, I am not actually a WUM most of the time!
I think that I just offer a different opinion at times, sometimes stupid, sometimes serious...but at the end of the day it is just a laugh...I laugh anyway!
Somebody said on another thread that I was the only decent WUM on the United board because I don't just post trash...I dined out on that for minutes!

nWo trying to get someone banned?
Now where have I heard that before?

I saw it and chose to highlight it with a dig of my own
The guy that said that was wrong
Do you enjoy getting up peoples nose all the time?

Is that aimed at me?
If so then to be honest, no I don't! However, I do not make things up, I do not talk trash, I just offer a different opinion I guess, yeah it's anti-United but considering that this board is obviously pro-United then I think having a counter-opinion is good for debate!

Who else would I be asking that to?
The thing is I don't see you often making a good point and to me and others it seems you're coming on here to annoy people (for a better way of saying it without swearing) and it also seems like your talking down to people bit like you're up yourself too much.
Probably hard to tell but I do try and see the best in people but with you I find it very hard.

There was a post in between, hence my question!
And fair enough, I guess I can be a bit hard to read sometimes...I imagine I also come across exactly the way you described, oh well!
I'm not all WUM, I tend to get shot down whenever I post due to my reputation...I have actually tried to change that recently, doesn't work though!

Yeah I saw that after I posted, don't think that was aimed at you tbh
Oh well if you're happy with that then fair enough!

Not happy with it, just the way it is I suppose...
Anyway, time for bed, no doubt we will joust tomorrow, I have to fill up my Norman Whiteside water bottle so I can sleep well!
