Well, feels like a good time to depart...I enjoyed my brief time here and gave me both some insight into a different club & league while engaging in some occasionally interesting debates.
It wasn't my intention, from the outset, to remain indefinitely but quickly got into the team and several of the posters...So, the board felt like a good place to come back to...Some made me feel pretty welcome and many seemed intent on antagonism at each & every turn....As time has gone on and perhaps even magnified more by the tie between our two clubs in CL, the balance has definitely moved more & more towards the latter
Even on my home boards, we have disagreements etc. but typically we engage in these debates without it descending into routine wumming and hostility.
But, this is an Inter board foremost and there's no point in remaining where you're clearly not welcome while continuing to be a target for routine attacks...I tried to maintain some consistency in my posts, tried to be honest without getting too emotional and avoided trying to instigate banter that would invariably lead to more vitriol
I appreciate the good exchanges with several members and wish the fans & club good luck going forward
Ciao
