From what I've read of TANGO's postings he's a good bloke, has a decent sense of humour and (although I cannot prove it) I sometimes get the impression that he is not averse to playing Devil's Advocate when the mood strikes him.
He has also taken an awful lot of stick for his views over a long period of time. Whilst he has been castigated for his outlook on life and football at times - sometimes not in the most pleasant of manners - he seems to have kept his head screwed on the right way around and has rarely come anywhere near the line of demarcation between an angry response and an 'over the top' tirade.
I didn't see his post which precipitated all this kerfuffle and have no interest in knowing what it was. We all have our own level of tolerance, a level which can fluctuate from day-to-day and even from hour-to-hour depending on our mood, personal problems, work pressures and so on - even our level of alcohol intake.
TANGO has taken the attitude that what he typed was inappropriate and deserved a week's ban. So be it. Perhaps he would have received that penalty anyway, perhaps not, I don't know. Regardless of the whys and wherefores of the case I think that his rather public announcement of his perceived sin should perhaps remind all of us that whilst we can all hide behind our Internet persona we cannot hide from ourselves.

Thanks for the welcome, but no one need notice anything. Had a week off is all. Just business as usual now.jaffka wrote:Looks like he slotted back in last night without anyone really noticing!
