A small Admin point here,
In future, please don't 'out' people in threads with photos without that persons permission first.
That's a very fair point, AFKA. But it actually portrays them in a very good light, don't you think? Despite what they write on here, they look disarmingly...er, normal !!! lol...
Not the point Nigel. It is an etiquette infringement and one we've repeatedly publicly warned of before. As long as they are doing nothing outlandish, people have to respect others anonymity, and it should always be guessed in the first instance that that is their wish.
Particularly in the case of say one of those named for example, who's views may have wound up a lot of other members over the years, yet very few people would have recognised.
But i'm sure HI was aware of that when pointing them out...
No, I know, AFKA. Sorry. I was simply trying to lighten the atmosphere in the light of what I agree is not only a breach of website etiquette but also raises potentially serious privacy issues, too...

Not I wasn't.
I wasn't aware of any such etiquette. If large or Golfie are offended then I apologise, although Large didn't seem to take any offence having read his subsequent comments.
But please don't assume sinister motives when that was never the intention and for which there is no evidence.
I don't think it's simply a CL-imposed etiquette, Henry. It's central to the whole thorny debate about the internet and privacy - and has been since its invention.
When I saw Large and Golf Addict identified like that (or 'outed', if one has to be melodramatic about it), my immedate assumption was that they had been messaged and had no objection - hence my light-hearted comment...
Well, there was me, so happy that I'd finally managed to post some photos! I didn't know about the etiquette rule either for what it's worth. Strange old world, you can have abuse, swearing, racism and lots of derogatory comments about women's bodies and that's all good etiquette. Sorry if I've caused offence to anyone, my intentions had been the opposite.
speaking purely for myself it didn't bother me at all that I'd been 'outed', in fact I clarified which was me, GolfAddick and the other lifer there. It didn't for a moment cross my mind about us being recognised. I've been going for so many years and know so many other fans anyway it isn't an issue for me. I can see however how it could be a problem for Golfie if he has really pissed someone off with his views in the past. And I can see the whole privacy issue thing.
On a lighter note the photos did highlight a couple of issues :
So now i know that after the second goal, when Shelvey was celebrating and i was shouting 'DO THE GOLF SWING!!' i was in the very seat behind Golf Addick. (blue polo shirt, 'strawberry blonde' hair)

More concerned where you got your hat, Large ......?
;o)
Andy Peters I think.
another lifer (Calcio Addick) although doesn't post often.
Australia, think it's too small for my head !!
Made me laugh!!
;o)
If they did, Large would have to change his user name to XL Addick.
;o)
Is your dad so nervous he's biting all his nails at once, or is he about to impersonate the ref's whistle?

On a lighter note the photos did highlight a couple of issues :
1) I need a bigger shirt
2) alternatively I could diet
3) my Dad is shorter than I realised !!
good point, although that doesn't appear to be such an issue now ....
My apologies to you and Golfie. Won't happen again.
It didn't cross my mind that I was outing anyone as I thought everyone already knew you were, well, large ; - )
no worries Henry.
"Henry ?"
Thought everyone knew He was really b]EDITED[/b
