    I'm sorry!

    It has been brought to my attention by a fellow poster that about half of my posts are somewhat critical of other posters on the forum.

    I was surprised by this as it isn't my intention to do anything other than contribute to this forum in a meaningful way, keep people aware of information I come across & interview former Bulldog greats.

    If you have been offended, then I'm truly sorry & am happy to refrain from posting if it so offends fellow posters on here!

    I think the highlighted portion is quite true. It's not the intention, but I think a big man tempers his attitude for the common good. Well done TCD.

      I don't think anyone questions how much you do for the site, including quality and consistent information and your interviews. I think it would be sad if you decided to stop posting.

        Oh no no no ... TCD - you have nothing to answer for. There are many others who could be included in that 'some what critical of other posters on the forum' comment (you know who you are!)

        I'm only a 'rookie' here with merely 100 posts, but if it weren't for you I wouldn't be here, and Seb wouldn't be the super star he is today
        WOOF is giving me so much inspiration for my journalism course, infact, truth be known it's what gave me the push I needed to enrol!
        A bit of niggling each other here and there is what it's all about , don't think any of us would be here if it wasn't- so long as it's not taken too far and all posters think twice about the words and phrasing that they use.

        Please don't go anywhere TCD, we love you and the knowledge you bring to WOOF. Especially those superb interviews. Well Done!

              Dont worry about it, I'd say the vast majority of posters value your contributions

                TCD, you & Bornadog were the first to contact me to help with my avatar when I joined last month. I haven't felt at all uncomfortable with any of your posts that I've read. Unfortunately when things are in writing they sometimes can be taken out of context, often in ways not intended. Keep up the good work, especially the past player interviews.

                  WOOF is a broad church. It takes many people contributing, i wouldn't like to think this would stop you TCD as many rely on your contributions.

                    we love reading your informative posts and such Coon dog! You obviously have many more supporters than those who are offended so please do not be disheartened.

                      For every action you take someone will be offended. Thats just the way the World is unfortunately you can't please everyone. I'd be offended if you stopped posting because you offended someone else.

                      I'll also be offended if you take this as a compliment or as criticism.

                          I think that some people have been offended by sometimes severe criticism and may have left the site.

                          Some criticism has been downright arrogant. Other posters may not realise this probably because they had some measure of agreement. With too many people posting alike the site starts to become cliquey. We stop getting the radical posts.

                          Then the site starts to get boring and predictable.
