Kendrick

Seems to be very much a tyrant when it comes to the blues. He seems to have deleted many of my comments because I happened to disagree with him and his Moyes out brigade.

But I'm sorry, but his comments and the comments of the people he defends are so negative towards Everton that it makes me wonder if he is an actual Evertonian, because he certainly seems to relish in criticising every little thing.

Doesn't like to be called on it either.

Shame that a site well designed by Lyndon is polluted by such a negative football fan.

Must admit, I dislike him.

GhostOfDixie · January 1, 2008

Ever met him? Is he local? He does seem to want to criticise the Blues all the time, makes me wonder why he bothers.

BTW, what's with the site? Very slow.

Where's an article from him?

SuitsBlue · January 1, 2008

a local forum, for local people.

Well its just a general theme I get from ToffeeWeb, he is the executive editor. (oh my, the pure arrogance)

Some guy called Eric slated Moyes as a loser after the Arsenal defeat. I thought it was put of order, and was basically belittled by email from Kendrick, saying that my kind are too quick to celebrate the manager. I retorted by saying that his kind are just waiting for Moyes to fail so they can say "told you so".

He also went on to say that Moyes progress has been intermittent. I really don't know what he expects. He also told me that he polices the mail bag/comments closely so as to make sure that it remains a civilised place. Well I know one thing, he doesn't like home truths.

I wouldn't call it Civilised, unless you think Mugabe is a fair man. Shame that this forum has to be attached to such a negative site.

Also noticed that Tony Marsh is allowed to **** off the club once they lose, he can do it quite freely, but we are not allowed to disagree with him.

kermit/Micheal whatever is a clueless narcississtic idiot!

Ive been getting things deleted for 2 years.
usually pertinent points(IMO) that i had been qualifying and backing up, but the whole crux of my post/letter had been omitted quite a few times because I vehemently disagree with him time and again.

I put a similiar post to this recently in the website development forum on a thread about the main site.

Despite constant tweb editorials that all views and posts are a balanced cross-section of readers that are not 'conducted' by the editor, it is evidently bollocks to the many people who disagree with him and get constantly censored in what they say, how they say it or just deleted, and ignored.

Of course all the fawning disciples wont hear a word against him and believe all the crap about it being a balanced forum for debate. And to see so many people generally agreeing with most of his views puts him up even higher in their view. never mind that its 'edited' with his viewpoint in mind.

I thought it was just me, until 3/4 people said the same things on another forum about micheal publishing a letter or a viewpoint, with everything intact
except anything that challenged micheal viewpoint, and even worse if you tried to back up why you thought he was wrong.

Ive long since stopped contributing in any meaningful fashion other than to accuse him of an oedipus complex occasionally!

i dont like kendricks belligerent brand of bullshit

there are worse [Poor language removed] on the web

i suppose thats some solace.

GhostOfDixie · January 2, 2008

Then why don't we create a similar front-end magazine style. Rather than be attributed to them we can have our own thing.

Its not like we don't have enough contributors.

SuitsBlue · January 2, 2008

the depth, and the resources, and the website hit rate it undoubtedly gets.

cant see going back on the decision to be linked with that website (not one or some of the runners) being a move that would cover this forum in glory either.

TW is ranked outside the top 100,000 sites on Alexa so I would think they're only getting 1-2,000 uv's per day. Not insurmountable by any means. By contrast, Kipper comes in at 89,000 on Alexa and NSNO at 106,000 (just behind TW).

GhostOfDixie · January 2, 2008

Well its designed well, but its miserable. I said on the site, that some of the fans here are like:

"Married men who love their wife but don't really like her that much, and stay with her because it gives them an excuse to moan".

Kendrick refused to print it. Shock horror. I asked why and got this reply from Lyndon:

Michael took umbrage at comments like this:

"Its not just Tony Marsh who is negative my friend. Many of the editorials are snide digs at the club."

He has been discouraging moans about fellow posters and the editors, preferring to keep discussion focused on the team/club.

So its ok to moan about the players/managers/board/toffee girl etc... But if someone says that Moyes is a loser always has been and always will, well I take umbrage to that.

Can you imagine what it was like during the early 90's? Kendrick must have been unbearable to have a pint with.

It works though, we're all talking about it here.

I still reckon you have enough people on here who could help run something resembling a magazine style front. I like that Ghost, I liked it a lot.

the problem is commitment to keeping it going.

micheal has a huuuuge ego, thats probably fed by seeing his opinions in print, and knowing people are reading it, that's his motivation i think.

:dodgy:

shhhhhhh....all we need to do is copy the content from toffeeweb, as they find the news, and give it a more balanced spin! ie. let them do the donkey work :dodgy:
