pete137 is negative about every single aspect of the club. Win or lose, he's there with a post to whinge and be endlessly negative about everything. Since the other posters wised up and began blanking his crap, he's become more and more erratic with his rantings to the point he's now basically attacking everybody for not being as negative and critical as he is.
Then there's solostar, who I don't think has ever made a post that couldn't be considered as baiting. Constantly calling for the manager's head...yet was praising him as a God when they were top of the league after his winning streak.
Two foul trolls that nobody would be sorry to see the back of, except for each other.
Pete used to get very personal when coming after me in that thread. I remember reporting one particular post of his with a rather vile comment about me which was removed but I also got a warning as well. A few weeks later the whole fiasco with General Discussion closing happened and I suspect that's what resulted in my permaban because the previous warning was still active.
I did get back on DS very briefly late last year because I'd changed ISP's and I wondered if it would work, which it did. After a few weeks I posted in the Spurs thread and the first thing pete did was reply "Welcome back Jason" because I'd dared to post something positive about the game. About a week later up pops a post in the Spurs thread from Pete where he'd trawled back through this new account I had and also the old "Jason" account to find a couple of posts that proved I was me and I had some sanctimonious hand-wringing from him about "breaking the rules" and the new account was subsequently banned.
I honestly found it quite funny though that he'd pui that much effort in to going back through posts for two accounts just to get me.
I did often wonder why the mods never took action against pete or solostar though when they must have had hundreds of reports about the two of them over the years.
