Why does CL infuriate or float your boat?

edited July 2012 in General Charlton
Apart from the fact we are all Addicks of course (excluding our regular visitors from lesser teams...)

The diversity of opinion.

Illustrated for me by the fact that we have on the one hand a "Carry On esque" thread titled "Crumpet" and of course the staple "Would Ya's"

and then a thread dedicated to self righteous indignation or bored indifference to a young goalkeeper of limited intelligence using the word "Hollocaust" in his tweet.

Long may it continue.

    Makes me wonder if other fans forums come anywhere near the eclectic nature of our threads! I for one love my fellow Lifers. Even the moaners.

    My boat does tend to float over the waves of infuration.
    As the two Bobbies were wont to sing:

    Here is a little song I wrote
    You might want to sing it note for note
    Don't worry be happy
    In every life we have some trouble
    When you worry you make it double
    Don't worry, be happy......

    Gets up me nose: Like most forums, good points are lost due to bad grammar and miss-reading (including mine on both counts). Also, some posters try a bit too hard with their interlectial humour and fall flat on their faces imo. Also, do some members have more than one account?

    Floats me boat: In general, most people on here seem pretty genuine and a good bunch.

    Good: Very well run, fairly unique, (as often mentioned) diversity, good site design, some very funny posts, some hilarious arguments, input from knowledgeable insiders, hearing old-timers' stories, reading posts that tap into your own personal memories (any time Selhurst games are mentioned for me, as we were fairly isolated as supporters back then)

    Bad: Spelling (at least, the idea that grammar doesn't matter when it makes a probably intelligent poster look like a child), know-it-all/ humourless replies, exaggeration or tongue-in-cheek comments taken too literally/ personally/ seriously and.... cliques! And people moaning about the bad stuff!!

    Under bad: any post that has "you know it's the close season when..." in it. Including this one.

    Some people are so delicate, some always doom and gloom and with some it's only their opinion that counts but other than that it's all good

    Infuriates: When people slate first time posters for trying to start a new thread that was already discussed a week/3 years earlier.....or when they question their Charlton credentials.

    Loves: The amount of knowledge and information offered up when posters ask questions like best pub in Brixton etc

    Gotta agree with the RIP threads. I often wonder, did those writing on them ever bother to tell the person in question how they felt before they died?

    Floats the boat.

    Can't find much fault with it. The only internet forum I use.

    Like: The vast array of knowledge displayed on a variety of subjects and the good humour (mostly) displayed between posters.

    Dislike: The vociferous totalitarian minority which seeks to stifle debate via patronising sneering or outright insults.

    Has the effect of a red rag to a bull on me though and makes me "dig in."

    Nearly a year since the riots thread. It was, in the face of awful heavy duty chite, one of the most magnificent threads ever, and held within it a real sense of community.
    I am of course infuriated if anybody dares to disagree with any word I type

    I enjoy CL, for the reasons given. Always a bit disappointing when a fellow Addick shows themself up by their bad taste, for some reason I expect better, but 99% on here are more decent than not.

    I agree with Algarve 99% are OK. Dont much like the swearing or all the in jokes of the "in crowd" that nobody else has a clue what's going on and whilst funny to a few is so boring to the majority.

    Good - it helps in relation to the insatiable desire for news, gossip and debate on everything and anything related to Charlton. We are malnourished in terms of coverage. Very interesting and amusing posts. The views of those at away games are particularly valued and the threads from RedMidland and Paddy are tremendous. Factual updates about the club's affairs
    from those who are better informed than the great unwashed (such as me) are also very interesting.

    Bad - posters jumping on each other in a petty manner. There is also, from time to time, an element of pomposity, high-handedness and self-aggrandisement.

    it infuriates me that other posters get infuriated when other posters post a comment that is infuriating.
