What I've seen consistently over the last few years is posters and this is a prime example of the type of post is to dismiss concerns as nothing more than people being overly emotional and I hate it because it's a clear tactic people use when they want to discredit feelings different from there's. If you have a point to counter then counter the point but don't try and make out that the problem is people's emotional volatility when the very reason that people react disproportionality to things emotionally is because their concerns have been dismissed over and over again in this manner, when there is valid reason for those concerns.

Quite clearly this particular situation in isolation is not a massive issue, yet to ignore it entirely ignores the context of which the club has been in which is showing consistently in that it's infrastructure has no alignment, that our leadership is not clear of what it actually desires. People might be sick of hearing that but quite clearly people are conversely sick of the very clear evidence of it being true being dismissed as handwringing. Perhaps if people actually acknowledged sooner that people's feelings and frustrations were justified before then it wouldn't be as all encompassing as it is on the forums now that things can finally no longer be swept under the rug.
Really? I am not posting in regard to wider failings though am I? Just this in isolation which appears to have triggered some of the usual suspects for another pile on re: how shit we are, etc. My point was that it is the default mode for a significant number who never post anything constructive on any subject. Not sure how you are extrapolating from there that I think the ownership are beyond criticism or that related frustration and feelings are not justified. Just this point. One employee has left. No-one has any clue what he did good or bad, yet it's another Ffs Spurs thing.

Only about four people posted about him leaving, including me, so I guess I'm one of those "usual suspects". No one piled on, and its certainly not my default mode for this or any other subject.

Edit: apart from subject of the Tory party. I definitely pile on them lol

Edit 2: Nor do the other posters fall into the definition you outline either, they're good posters and community members.

I think it’s a pretty legitimate concern to want to understand why a highly rated employee, in an area where we desperately need to improve, has chosen to leave us to join Arsenal
