And judging by his post in response to a blog, he won't be back.
This is what he said and he makes a good point.
That’s a good thing, Tim. Keep it up. Life should be better without negative input, regardless of the source, but yes, it sure takes a whole lot of frustration and anxiety out of following Arsenal just to stop reading the papers.
My own double-rainbow moment came when BBC’s 606 forum shut down last season. I wasted so many hours of my life on that pathetic site, mostly arguing with United, Chelsea, and Spurs fans, or winding them up or being wound up. Suddenly, it’s all gone. All that time insulting and being insulted just for following a team; all that time being told Arsenal are a sinking ship blah blah blah, being told that Eduardo and Ramsey were at fault for getting their legs broken, etc. And after a loss, it was hell.
I’ve closed the gates now. It’s just me and my fellow Arsenal fans, and I read only this site, Arseblog, and once in a while I’ll check the Guardian or the Daily Fail. The last thing I need is for this outlet in my life–that is, following a sports team, what is supposed be fun, even in the ups and downs (because of the ups and downs)–to be a source of anxiety.

Doctor doctor it hurts when I move my arm.
Don't move your arm then.
And if that's too subtle, if you spend your time winding people up don't complain when it comes back at you. you can use this site for its original intent!
