I've been lurking a lot longer than my profile suggests. I'm aware this isn't a democracy, I was under the impression it was a place where you could come and talk about the bulldogs, but all year I've seen a campaign launched against anything anti-barba, that is, until the Club released him and leaked this story to the media, then it's time to pile on.

Since though, as you've already explained, we have no rights, you and the others will go about rewriting history Ministry of Truth style.

Carry on sir.
Cool story.

So you label me as a mod who bans people without cause, without an iota of evidence.
I tell you politely how to handle your complaint.
You accuse me of being a power-tripper, by power-tripping.

Oh, I like THIS game ! :thumb:
You're winning for sure ...

You are the one here defending those who banned everyone trying to figure out the truth with Barba, so you have been lumped in with them.

Evidence? You already explained I have 'NO RIGHTS', why would you suddenly pretend like you care about legal process? That's pretty funny.

I'm not interested in arguing with you, you're obviously an expert on over 10,000 posts, I'm sure you could argue with people online all day...

Look i absolutely agree that there is an element of arselicking that goes on here. I dont' frequent enough to say who and why but even knowing that, this isn't a place for open slather. Legals issues can be levelled at the owner of the site so they have to take care of business at times.

One other thing. Some of the mods and popular posters are clearly on the anti Barba wagon and they are still here.

As for Todd. He's done exactly what he is required to do by Law. Barba may have been getting treatment for more than just booze and gambling but really it was in no ones best interest to say it was more if the lass wasn't going to the cops. Not a lot you can do in that situation.

No-one has any idea what the COC is and to what extent it has been breached, in comparison to Reni. How one can possibly compare two differing sets of circumstances with a multitude of contrasting set of events/circumstances leading up to this event is beyond me. If said details are released and said double standards are proved to be true then please shoot me down.

perhaps in theory. But there has been a fascist element to this whole barba saga and how it has played out on here.

well connected posters disputing mounting evidence of a bigger issue. Censoring of anything that came from the other side of the ledger. And denials from people such as mr I, who perpetuated his own 100 % correct assertions while shooting down all and sundry who dared to post anything not congruous with the "official line"

We should have known more was afoot when there was no defamation or any blowback after wally Lewis claimed domestic abuse very early on in the peace.

Bulldogs have handled ths terribly, and I expect there to be serious consequences for Todd. You cant cover up criminal allegations while telling the public that sanctions have been imposed on barba for something different.

This isn't over by a long shot.
There were no allegations, the woman refused to go to police. For there to be an allegation, she'd have to file a report. In legal terms, she made informal inquiries before recanting her story. I'm not saying she didn't get hit by him, just that what she said doesn't amount to an allegation.

With regard to your point about the club supposedly covering up the situation, if there is no allegation made, the club would potentially have defamed Barba by making a statement about the situation. Instead, many of the statements I read from the club were left ambiguous, saying things like "dealing with a range of off-field problems". There's isn't much more they could have said.

I don't threaten to ban people Rod.
I just hack into their settings and change their avatars and sigs.

You're asking me to recall what I was thinking 6 months ago (and that in itself is hard because I barely put any thought into what I post to begin with), but I think it was along the lines of 'Rod's sounding like a CD with a scratch, stuck playing the same 20 seconds'.

Can't we just say "allegedly" before posting something to cover our arse?

The media do it so why can't we?

Yea, I clearly remember when the supposed injury happened after he scored that try then half ran half hoped off the field with no assistance, every one commentating on the game could not believe that there was no assistance to take the weight off his ankle or even a media cab, then they showed him hoping around in the change rooms getting dressed again with no one in the change room with him, very weird indeed at the time.
tree days later he is playing horsies with his Kids and no moon boot, a week later I read a post that he was at a Pub in Bathurst NSW. WTF??

What your brother wrote to him was a disgrace...
