Give us a break. A certain unrestrained former Bloc 5 individual does not represent the ACFC supporters, most of whom are a great bunch of football fans. Might I hazard to suggest that even Yellow Fever - gasp, horror, shock - has the occasional oddball, eccentric, angry one. Judging by this forum it's almost a badge of honour.

If you read back through what I've written, I've conceded that it's a minority and I've stated that I'm sure the majority of ACFC fans are just that, ACFC fans. That's not in question. It's the volume of that minority that has caused any ill feeling etc. Unfortunately the loudest voices are the ones which get heard, and that's what creates impressions and that is what you don't seem to realise.

The YF Forum has a lot of active posters, which dilutes the effect of the minority somewhat. If there's only a handful of ACFC posters and 2 or 3 of them are "militant" the effect is multiplied
