Matt Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Blimey....... this is just a pile-on. Isn't it. They're all coming out of the woodwork now, time to cut a few loose - I'm wondering if this was a honeypot thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 For those of you who don't know RA, I can confirm that he is a real (no not you Real) and "special" person. I actually sat next to him at the Trust Forum last Thursday and I can honestly say that if you met him you would be totally amazed as he is nothing like he appears on here. The lad is genuine. His spoken english is good (and he is exceptionally polite), but as with a lot of people with learning "issues" the written form of the language isn't. It took me a while to get his jist and even now at times it's not easy. People who have not met him, need to have patience with his posts and try just a little bit harder to give him, shall we say, the benfit of the doubt. Like Mr Sinnott said you need to be careful in the circumstances. My daughter teaches at a "special" school and through visiting the school for the events they hold, I have come to understand their needs a lot better. I'd just ask that you all show a little more tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who works with me is brilliant in conversation, whether face to face or on the phone. But writing? Totally different ball game. I've known him a long time, I know he has "issues" and I still don't always understand what he writes and I guess RA falls into this category. I've been guilty of taking the piss out of his posts and, for that, I apologise. I wasn't aware of the circumstances. Now that we know a little more about RA, why can't folk understand that some of the comments will be hurtful to RA as he is no doubt self conscious of his issues. It's like taking the piss out of disability of any sort and, as someone married to a disabled person, I can tell you it is bloody painful. Keep going RA and sod those who won't accept you for who and what you are. Edited July 20, 2010 by Bristolatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep going RA and sod those who won't accept you for who and what you are. It would be an injustice to RA though if people pussyfoot around and dont question what he says. Now there has been more light on the reasons behind the difficuilty of reading posts I wouldn't mock the spelling or grammar but it doesn't mean I have to agree with everything he says. Dont take any of it personally anyways RA, It's an internet forum, nothing more, and it's all about a difference of opinions.

fleetwood Blue Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I cant help but feel that this is being totally blown out of propotion, has anybody on this site made a direct personnal attack against RA, if they have then they should be dealt with by a way Mods feel fit. As i understand it, nobody apart from the people who actually know RA knew of any disabilty or difficulty, so to every other poster it just seemed like RA is a serial training ground spy who posts everything he see's/hears or believes. I work with kids with learning difficulties in a childrens home and i for one know how they feel if people take the piss out of them but it is a very very small minority who really dont understand the issues these people have to go through in everyday life that do the pisstaking. I took one of the lads with me to the fans team tournment in Preston a couple of years ago and i can honestly say all of the lads were great with him and he was made up that he was allowed to join in with the kick about and he commented on how friendly everybody was.

I agree with this it did seem initially that Royle army was a serial mind up merchant now its out in the open about who he is and his "additional needs" I would hope we all cut him abit more slack and show tolerance to his posts Keep posting RA your as much part of owtb as anyoneelse is.

leeslover Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Sorry, Harry Sorry Harry, as you know I have a lot of time for your opinion in many ways, but this is now as objectively funny, and for all eternity, as jokes about mythical signings from Gretna PS I have gathered the picture about RA being a real fan, I just re-stake my thoughts that he could be helped more by the Mods working with him on his posts rather than spending hours working with everyone elses' replies to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If people were calling a mod as much as they have called RA, they would be banned! Sheri........... Took me a while to figure that one out.

razza699 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I understand where you are coming from RA and Im sorry if I have offended or upset you in the past , However learning difficulties or not you would have to understand if you start 5 or 6 <insert any player avaible on a free transfer here> threads a day you should expect some people to question your views or slate them, its all about opinions and if we didnt have them message boards would be pointless.
