I used to like reading the Numbskulls in the Beano/Dandy..I didn’t know numbskull was offensive in name calling...perhaps I’m not as fragile as some on here so there must be some under current. I can’t believe the takeover frustrations have lead to this behaviour. Shame.
The fact that GM’s family may or may not have issues with uprooting themselves again to move back to the U.K. to me is info that doesn’t need to be shared here. As I said it won’t affect the sale of the club. If the family moves he’ll be CEO. If not they’ll appoint one. How is that a problem.
I wouldn’t want info about (alleged) family difficulties shared on the internet when it’s not in the public interest.
Elf joined in with personal untrue defamatory attacks on me on another site. After weeks and weeks of really personal abuse the main perpetrator eventually issued a full apology and removed material. (I also secured a donation to the Upbeats.) I was really struggling with it, losing sleep, getting stressed (as some of you noticed at the time) but was saved by a lawyer friend who pointed out that it was a very straightforward case of defamation. I was accused of being a decrepit lifelong Millwall fan who had decided to cash in on his family name in order to draw traffic to a ‘clickbait’ blog. My meetings and knowledge of Gerard was for a time apparently a fabrication (or ‘bollox’ as Elf described it) and I was a ‘prick’, a habitual liar, and a narcissist. Someone in this site alerted me to this stuff, and I joined the forum in order to deny the ‘claims’. I found Elfs on there reporting back to this character like a loyal foot soldier (the perpetrator is banned from here and other forums). He was and is clearly in thrall to the man. He still has digs at me to this day. And all this started about the time of my beer meeting with Gerard. If anyone has seen my blog they’ll know that there’s never been an ad on it. There are posters on here that know me and I hope they’ll back me up as a decent bloke. The fact that some have said Elfs is ok just shows what the internet can do to someone.
It was always going to be problematic posting on Internet forums, and this is obviously the best one for me to use as it’s well run and the vast majority of you on here are great people.
I stuck with it when the abuse started, and Elfs and others would love it if I quit now.
It’s difficult to keep going though when the same issues seem to keep coming back to haunt me.
If reading other sites is causing stress then consider this advice
@JamesSeed, I can't help but think that if you'd not made an issue of it, @shirty5's comment would probably have been lost to most of us; just another one of 37,000 comments on this thread. Instead something that would have passed most of us by (something and nothing in my opinion, but obviously not yours) has just become the major issue on the site this morning and everyone's attention has been drawn to it. And yes, calling people numbskulls is not acceptable.
I'd like to make two suggestions: 1. If you want something deleted then please pm me and/or the other mods. To use Big Rob's phrase, we'll look into it. In this case I don't think I'd have personally done anything, because I genuinely don't see why it's an issue and it's already elsewhere in the public domain anyway. But ultimately, you only have to convince one mod and you may have had more luck with one of the others. 2. If you, @shirty5, @ElfsborgAddick or anyone else can't see eye to eye, can I suggest that you ignore each other rather than getting into petty squabbles*. Frankly, I've got better things to do with my bank holiday than try to manage other people's arguments.
Thank you.
*[Edit - please note, I am not accusing Shirty or Elfs of squabbling, apologies if my initial wording led anybody to think that]

It is an issue, if they are not sure if he is going to be ceo or not and if it’s no big deal we will just get someone else in to me is worrying and like no plan is in place.
With regards to the other stuff I’m don’t know what’s gone on and who said what but you today are the one bringing this all up, ultimately causing your self stress and making you look in the wrong.
So I was trolled and I’m in the wrong.
Trolling sounds like nothing to most of you I’m sure. Try researching it. I’m not a softie. I haven’t lived a sheltered life. Have asked Afka to close my account. It’s just not worth it.

Fudging right an all
This forum is for discussions and differences of opinions it’s getting to the point now where there’s so much background bollox and pm shit that it’s a distraction from the information like it or not the info was relevant even if in a very insignificant way
If GM didn’t want it discussed he should watch out who he shared it with once he had shared it with those who needed to know then there was always the chance it would get mentioned
It also means he may now not be upto date with the status of the takeover as they may well have been looking for another ceo
It could also be part of the reason for some of the delay
It may be a sign that the whole thing is offf it’s as worthy of discussion as anything else posted on here

Trolling - just ignore it.
If you hadn't made such a noise about what was posted on another site about GM then it would have just been another 'Colin says' and there's been a myriad of those on this thread.
He has obviously heard there is an issue with GM - whether personal or professional - and by you confirming it on here, it now becomes an interest to all of us. Because if one of the front men of the Consortium is having problems, the whole position changes.

@JamesSeed, I don't know you but I am sure you only have good intentions. The problem appears to be that you over react if somebody disagrees with you or says something you don't like.
I might be wrong but I thought I had read that you are standing for a position in the trust soon.
I have to say that I am not convinced that will be a good move if you find it difficult to accept criticism withou having to make such rude retorts.

"family diffuculties" Tbf, putting it as you now have has made it sound even more of a serious and therefore a more personal, issue for GM and his family, than the original post ever did mate imo
....imagine how I feel every time someone one here digs up my past and drones on about my spell in the shop up next to Grove Park BR Station and that fact that I had a kidney transplant and live in France, between Limoges and Brive?
It's life at the top mate and we just grow a thick skin to it
...not saying it don't hurt though as I'm on a new chspter in my life where rhubarb and custards running out and whether I use gram or ounces don't matter anymore.

If you’re referring to the James Seed comments, they have nothing to do with Colin or the site he posts on come to that.
The original comment about Murphy not wanting to leave Australia came from Colin.
Yes of course.......but don’t get that confused with the person or forum on which JS was trolled......they are two different forums and two different people.....I wasn’t sure if you realised that?

He still has digs at me to this day. And all this started about the time of my beer meeting with Gerard. If anyone has seen my blog they’ll know that there’s never been an ad on it. There are posters on here that know me and I hope they’ll back me up as a decent bloke. The fact that some have said Elfs is ok just shows what the internet can do to someone.
It was always going to be problematic posting on Internet forums, and this is obviously the best one for me to use as it’s well run and the vast majority of you on here are great people.
I stuck with it when the abuse started, and Elfs and others would love it if I quit now.
It’s difficult to keep going though when the same issues seem to keep coming back to haunt me.
@JamesSeed, I don't know you but I am sure you only have good intentions. The problem appears to be that you over react if somebody disagrees with you or says something you don't like.
I might be wrong but I thought I had read that you are standing for a position in the trust soon.
I have to say that I am not convinced that will be a good move if you find it difficult to accept criticism withou having to make such rude retorts.
Rude retorts? Would you like a list of elfs comments about me?
I very kindly was asked to stand for the Trust but eventually decided not to. My following Charlton was originally just a family thing. I only became a ‘proper fan’ in 2015, and that’s not long enough imho. Also I’ve literally just started writing my book (been researching on and off) so won’t have enough time time.
Before I go, this wasn’t a matter of developing a thick skin, or banter or rude comments. Certainly not differences of opinion.
Proper trolling is very very different to that. Its normally associated with kids, but when it affect adults there’s a tendency not to take it seriously. It should be.
Comments
I'd like to make two suggestions:
1. If you want something deleted then please pm me and/or the other mods. To use Big Rob's phrase, we'll look into it. In this case I don't think I'd have personally done anything, because I genuinely don't see why it's an issue and it's already elsewhere in the public domain anyway. But ultimately, you only have to convince one mod and you may have had more luck with one of the others.
2. If you, @shirty5, @ElfsborgAddick or anyone else can't see eye to eye, can I suggest that you ignore each other rather than getting into petty squabbles*. Frankly, I've got better things to do with my bank holiday than try to manage other people's arguments.
Thank you.
*[Edit - please note, I am not accusing Shirty or Elfs of squabbling, apologies if my initial wording led anybody to think that]
Trolling sounds like nothing to most of you I’m sure. Try researching it. I’m not a softie. I haven’t lived a sheltered life.
Have asked Afka to close my account. It’s just not worth it.
This forum is for discussions and differences of opinions it’s getting to the point now where there’s so much background bollox and pm shit that it’s a distraction from the information like it or not the info was relevant even if in a very insignificant way
If GM didn’t want it discussed he should watch out who he shared it with once he had shared it with those who needed to know then there was always the chance it would get mentioned
It also means he may now not be upto date with the status of the takeover as they may well have been looking for another ceo
It could also be part of the reason for some of the delay
It may be a sign that the whole thing is offf it’s as worthy of discussion as anything else posted on here
If you hadn't made such a noise about what was posted on another site about GM then it would have just been another 'Colin says' and there's been a myriad of those on this thread.
He has obviously heard there is an issue with GM - whether personal or professional - and by you confirming it on here, it now becomes an interest to all of us. Because if one of the front men of the Consortium is having problems, the whole position changes.

Have a word with yourselves chaps. Playground.
Today you was in the wrong yes.
No point carrying this on it’s not going do anyone any good and will go round and round.

But he needs to take a chill pill, not everything needs to be taken so seriously.
It's life at the top mate and we just grow a thick skin to it
At least we know how to get more info about GM now though. Keep putting out silly rumours Colin-style until Mr. Seed overreacts and confirms them...
I’ll have a go: I heard that GM isn’t actually Australian so he’s having some visa issues that prohibit him from returning to the country.

I couldn't tell you how much he is in the know, but I believe he has a family member working for the lawyers that are conducting the take over.
