Hatmundo, I've taken out your two comments about Suarez off the Liverpool page as a precaution. I know first hand that those two issues are sensitive to Liverpool fans and they most likely won't like a rival fan coming on to their page and bringing them up again.

Besides, there has been a little bit of a war if words lately between Spurs and Liverpool supporters and I'd like to make sure it doesn't reignite.

If you have any queries let me know here or on my wall. Thanks mate.

Hi,

I saw your comment in the Chelsea chat which caused a bit of an uproar among some Chelsea fans. That was the Chelsea page, and not the Spurs one. So, you are expected to act with grace in others forums. Kindly remember that, and be more careful with the type of comments you make in forums that belong to other clubs. If you can't post positive and constructive comments in other clubs chat, then you shouldnt be posting there.

Hello Hatem!

I gave you two cool votes. Wish you good luck with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Hope that Spurs could keep a hold of Luka Modric because he is a very important player for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Hope you guys will do well in the league and in europe. Cheers

Don't worry about it. Notice that in my comment, I never actually said that I would stop supporting the club which is what you seemed to think. I said "As long as, .... I will fully support this club". There are certain things that can happen that would make me annoyed with the direction the club is taking but I will never STOP supporting. I fully believe this and I've always said it: Tottenham fans are chosen by the club. You don't become a Spurs fan and just leave, never happens

Firstly, when there is a problem of whatever magnitude, there has to be more than one party involved which is in the wrong. In this case, its both of us having major differences in opinion, thus creating a tiny problem. You didn't drop the little taunts, and I was far too sensitive. So I'm just as responsible in the fallout, and for that you have my sincere apologies as well.

My point of view is quite.... Strange. I am all for jokes and laughter. However, a peek below will show you how I was actually quite happy to find a person to debate with who's a polar opposite. With us being on the extreme ends, and most forum members in varying frequencies of opinions between ours, we'd get an entire perspective that covers all angles. Its a brilliant thing in my view. Problem 1 that arose through this, is you turned from a regular member/friend on the forums into a debate rival, which is both fun and challenging in my perspective. However, I never conveyed the same to you, so here lay the problem. When you mention little things that imply "change your perspective", it ruined the whole thing that I played up in my little own world inside my head of a contiguous debate. Silly, I know, but I like affording myself silly little things sometimes. Lol.

Secondly, I keep bringing this up, but the mod status plays a major role. Not because its a badge of honour, but one of responsibility. I cannot taunt or tease members in the same casual ways as other members can, since that easily can be quoted by trolls and say "you taunt people and troll them, why do you have double standards for me? ". I've got to be very careful in maintaining my moral high ground, for any little thing can be taken as evidence of me abusing power (not by you, but wannabe trolls). Hence, I do my utmost to stay polite, except when someone really warrants a rollicking for rulebreaking.

This constant state of general awareness will become second nature in time, but as of now, it is a bit of an effort to watch my words in a very conscious thought. So, when you taunt and tease, albeit in a friendly way (you're right. Cultural difference is there as well and plays a part in my reaction), I have no choice but to move on from it. I am the strictest mod on the forums, considering how many trolls we've had on our page. I will take any troll that wanders in down, but to do that, I'll need to keep up both our forum's standards and my own standards or posting and show no partiality between any members or even for myself. I've had complaints against my "abuse of powers", all looked into and waved off. Bottom line, vital for me to keep my form of humour simple and pertaining to things other than something that can imply footytube members.

Its a very detailed explanation I've given for my attitude in general. Sorry if I repeated myself, or have been off in tangents. I've been up for 28 hours now and brain's fried. Hopefully, we'll be able to move on from these stumbles, because I really do value your opinions. No decision should be taken without hearing a complete circle of thoughts, in my view. Wouldn't be the same if the debates ceased
