If this were the US of A, they could start a sect and would find similarly braindead adherents in no time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to deny the buffoon that sick pleasure. His tweets spread far and wide. Being on Gersnet is not what he is after, giving us a bad rep all over is what he is after and, sadly, no doubt getting - just imagine how many of them have retweeted this. I think we should always know the lies that are being spread so that we are ready to counter them. Edited May 28, 2018 by SteveC 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you draw the line? Do we having every raving lunatic's tweets on here to be able to counter them? We'd be here all day. I think Ian's point about not opening the thread is a valid one, although when I opened it I hadn't a clue what his tweet was about. It's my personal view that we shouldn't be giving oxygen to this kind of thing, and that includes Ill Phil's ramblings. My life is that little bit better not having that poison in it. However Ian is a great poster and his view (and yours) on this is as valid as mine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin aren't going to tell us what can be posted beyond what breaks the rules. I think we have to have some sort of degree of self-responsibility and stop publicising nonsense like this. He is a troll and you're giving him what he wants. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, if you don't like a thread don't open it, in the meantime I will continue to post what I think needs highlighting regardless of what you or anyone else thinks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes him different to every raving lunatic who tweets even though he is in that category, too. And. basically, I trust Ian - it was him I was supporting!

I'm struggling to see how the active distribution of this stuff by Rangers fans in any way benefits Rangers. I'm not advocating the suppression of news, just suggesting better judgement in these matters might be a good idea. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are getting the impact of Gersnet in relation to the widespread retweeting of his tweets by others, especially that mob, and all the other forums it will have appeared on seriously out of balance here. It will have gathered huge attention regardless of what is said on here. yes, "Posts and retweets are making him relevant" but that's nothing to do with Ian posting on here, they are happening, and will continue to happen, regardless.
