If you want to disagree with me fine. If you want to judge people by they're spelling then fine. But I'm not going to hide behind a new name just because you think I'm not very intelligent.

Here's a way to avoid those feelings - show that degree of civility towards everybody.
Agree – it drives me crazy when people walking in front of me just let the door close in my face.

How about giving up your seat in a bus? Anyone else dreading the moment when some well meaning youngster offers you their seat? I know I am.
Been there, was taken aback, but regained my composure swiftly, thanked him profusely and sat down. The kids aren't so bad...

I'm sure the women of the world are thankful that you have decided their opinion for them. It really does make thinks so much easy and after all they are less likely to burn your dinner when they don't have to worry about silly things like opinions.

Are but this is football fans so it should be taken with a pinch of salt, like those bananas, oh wait...

You really haven't though your argument through have you.
I don't see why you have to be so agressive. I haven't decided what women think, it's just what I believe what most women would be offended by, that's two very different things. And the bananas was a pre-meditated incident of racial hatred, there was no hatred in this, just a bit of frustration at a decision.
I'm sorry you thought I was being aggressive, but I've decided that I don't think most people in your position would consider it aggressive, so it's all ok.

There are lots of disagreements on here, so that’s ok – it’s how Rage Online works. I was simply suggesting that you get your facts right before reacting and posting your thoughts on here without checking things out beforehand. And getting the spelling right is dead easy these days. Apostrophes are different though as some people can be a bit picky on here about them - “they're

First time you've mentioned it Snake!

Did I hear on RadOx after the game that they're hoping to get them into the Football League in 5 years? You've got admire their ambition when they currently have only a few hundred supporters and the 30,000 other local fans flood to a slightly larger club about 3 miles away. Perhaps they're hoping to pick up the ones who won't be able to afford Premiership prices?

Just a quick addendum on the sexism thing.

Did anyone else think the whole half-time entertainment things yesterday (with the OUFC mobile girls wandering round in tiny pants) and in particular Rosie's ill-concealed ogling of them was just a tiny teeny bit anachronistic.

&quotPhwoar, whilst we wait for the football to redstart, let's gawp at these lovelies. Hasn't this one got a big pair of knockers? Crikey...&quot

(I paraphrase, of course)

There is a four dot ellipsis, but I am not sure it is valid there and, even were it valid, I am not sure that it would not require an additional space.
