Who is Marion? It certainly wasn't a woman so I'm guessing he wasn't really called Marion but then again I'm not an actual vicar, it may well be the person who set up the original Marionboard but it wasn't that board which is the one you're currently running, it was called Marions yellowboard and it had about 10 posters. Forgive my fading memory but wasn't dumkopf your nom de plume back when we graced the old 606 messageboard? I see what you did there stranded not a real vicar but.

Is it offensive? Or do you just disagree with it? If you find anything offensive please report it and we’ll look into it. Socialist posts aren’t inherently offensive. I don’t agree that gammon is anti-working class at all. I’d say the majority on here come from working class backgrounds. Vicar was spot on earlier. Plenty like to bray about their beliefs and how everyone is offended these days, but the second somebody retaliates with a view they find offensive, toys are thrown out of the pram. That’s a general observation. Got a feeling that people take offence far too easily against someone who dares have a different point of view. Once peoples opinions on subjects seemed to change more than they do now and are really deep rooted. Listening to the other side is important even if it is to gain information to fight against their point of view. Sometimes you realise that they make a good point and you might change your own views like me on brexit. Do think the written word can feal more severe though than a face to face discussion can and feels more aggressive.

Sincerely, I visit lots of message boards. The level of debate on here is very good. There's nothing wrong with 80% of people disagreeing with you. Especially if you're talking shite Many bullies are on the right wing politically. And many right wingers are bullies. IMHO of course. So they'll migrate to places where they have lots of like minds. I admire right wingers who fight their corner in places such as here. It inflates my opinion of them as people. And, sometimes, I think they make good points. People are happier amongst their own. If there are two places to post on if you think one is closer to your point of view you might gravitate there. A bit pointless banging the drum on a subject where everyone else has the opposite point of view even if they show you respect. This left and right wing thing seems a modern trend where subjects are either one of the other. There must be many who are right wing on certain issues and left on others including those who regularly vote for one party. The stronger your take on subjects usually mean you are far from the central position on them but are foistered with quite central governments both in power and opposition.

I feel like I'm amongst my own on either board but when this was launched in 2013 the idea was that we'd all come across, unfortunately it wasn't that easy as a few dug their heels in, the right left wing thing doesn't bother me as most of my mates are a bit gammony anyway.

Reading football messageboards on a political issue certainly is the worst place to go to guage the feelings of the whole towns themselves on how people will actually vote or see any of the issues that come up.

I actually think if there is one thing this forum lacks it is needle. It needs more people offering others out for straighteners round the ground etc. Quality entertainment.

When you say 'the person posting as Marion', do you mean it wasn't actually Marion? Who is Marion? It certainly wasn't a woman so I'm guessing he wasn't really called Marion but then again I'm not an actual vicar, it may well be the person who set up the original Marionboard but it wasn't that board which is the one you're currently running, it was called Marions yellowboard and it had about 10 posters. This board is quite new when compared to the Original Marion Montgomery's Message board which followed The Message board - which still exists in email form. Martin White was responsible for both I believe around 23-25 years ago. Hippy then took it over . It then morphed into MMMB 2 run by SCB and owned by Sunreader. It's changed hands since of course but those with longer less selective memories will know before alternatives such as this one popped up it had dozens of members, names, some long gone, such as Noff, Mozzer, Camp David, Aussie, That Sandy, DMS.To imply this board was the first to be very popular is incorrect.
Surely Vicar in a Tutu remembers that!

Surely Vicar in a Tutu remembers that! Vicar's referring to that board the popped up around a year or two ago called Marion's Yellowboard and then died off. Completely different board to this one and the old board; it did have about 10 members and was mostly Marion talking to himself.

Surely Vicar in a Tutu remembers that! There was also TR’s board, which was blue. You’re correct that the old marionsboard has been going on for yonks. I was posting on it way back in 2003/2004, I remember Noff joining. That’s not the board that was being discussed. Marion’s Yellowboard was a new board that was set up when it looked like the old marionsboard was going to be shut down by boardhost. That then didn’t happen so Marion’s Yellowboard was shut down - it didn’t stay online for very long. It had a different link to MMMB which was gammonboard.co.uk.com/Haha I forgot Suedehead had blocked the url. https:// marions yellowboard . com

They made that in protest at the decision to close the old board for three weeks; I don't think many who took a stand, if any, ever came back. If they have, they're under different posting names. Daft really; had they not been so mard they'd have still been posting on the old board anyway.
