I'm being accused of being someone I am not.
So perhaps it's time to put the record straight.
Since the advent of forums and away from the bulleting board style I have only ever belonged to three forums.
The official Manchester United forum, of which I was a moderator, until the forum was changed and taken over by the club, all of us were forced out literally overnight with not one warning.
After that, the old Mods created another forum called United Lounge, we recruited what we considered were decent posters from the official forum, it struggled form day one, and was a victim of WUM's and posters who set out to disrupt the forum and how it was run, it has now closed down, I left because it became a depressing place to be.
Then life got in the way for a long time, change of job, travel, divorce, parents passing, life on a forum just didn't seem so important.
At the start of this season I decided that maybe was the time to look for somewhere to air my views, and share my passion for the club I've supported (Season Ticket holder and shareholder) for the past fifty years or so.
I looked around, tried Red Café (it's fecking awful), another called United Forum and this one.
This is the one I've stuck to, and like, it's (fairly) friendly, a bit of banter, and most of the time respect for each is obvious.
So;
I am not, or ever have been "Justin Cider" or any other incarnation on the forum in this life or any previous one.
