I get where you’re coming from Mr Bat, but,  I find the vast majority on here are “sound as a pound”.
I watched Ian Buxton play for Derby County & Derbyshire.…wish I was “middle aged” 👍🐏

2nd game of the season for me...whoop whoop 😁
I'll echo RadioactiveWastes comment on the Ambulance chasing Yank 

I'm a reasonably diplomatic, boring, steady middle aged bloke.
I'm reasonably well educated and can write reasonably well so try to choose words on this forum that express an opinion that may be different to others, without deliberately causing offence. I certainly don't have 'poor writing' or 'poor vocabulary' as anything like an excuse if I were to cause offence.........but, without being patronising, I do understand not all so-called offensive posts are intended to be offensive.
However, it's apparent that I'm not alone in finding it tiresome that almost every single thread deteriorates into a game of point scoring, oneupmanship and, increasingly, forum archeology, in order to be unpleasant to one another.
There seems to be, in equal measure, deliberate attempts to cause offence and seek offence and it's just not great reading. I'm not in the slightest bit supportive of closing down debates or censoring differences of opinion but the number of personal spats with unpleasant language is getting beyond a joke.
I can't blame the mods because, individually, most of these posts fall below the threshold of complaint but, collectively, they make this forum so much worse than it could be.
I came to this forum for camaraderie when we nearly went under as a club - and it was a source of great comfort, information and humour.
It's got to the point where I'm considering signing off and and using the Telegraph and Radio Derby as my main non-matchday links - they have limitations but they are civil.
Any ideas what we can do?

Just the mention of Bragstad and Grenet has started me twitch off again! 👍🐏

In all honesty, I've not seen much abuse either way. Again, not saying it's not happened, just I haven't seen it. Realistically, if we can continue this form, it should serve as a unifying force, as ultimately, we all want to see Derby do well. Anything kicking off now is likely just a bit of a storm in a teacup.
Anyone that vocally called for Warne to be sacked probably feels a bit sheepish (pun fully intended) at the moment as those comments now seem a tad short-sighted. I think fans who were ambivalent but disagreed with the negativity kind of got pushed unwittingly into the 'Warne In' camp, just as his success would validate their calls for patience- which has happened.
Both of these sides will settle down now, especially if we keep winning. Ironically it's like Warne often says about things not being entirely perfect, nor dismal; it's nearly always somewhere in the middle. 
 

The squad that day included two Argentinians, a Greek, a Dane, Norwegian, Jamaican, an Irishman, four Englishmen and a couple of Italians called Baiano and Eranio.
