In the main I totally agree with you Max but on this occasion the poster did direct his rather provocative and aggressive post at Ed002 so I do have some sympathy in this case.
But in the main I don't see the need for personal insults to people who are simply joining in conversations and debates more often than not directed at Ed002 in any way.
I think we all appreciate the hard work all the Eds do for free and we are lucky they do it but people posting innocent opinions shouldn't be subjected to humiliation putting them off posting in the future.
Personally I think the insults say much more about the person throwing them than ever could about the person they are directed at.

Perhaps consider ED002's position.

It's a bit like the cliche of taking children on a long drive and every 5 mins they say:
"Are we there yet"?

----
In this case, it's more like:
User: "Is sanchez going? "
Ed: "Possibly"
User2: "I heard sanchez is going?! "
Ed: "He just might. "
User: "Sanchez to CITY. AH! PLS CONFIRM"
Ed: "sigh. nothing is done, possibly, but too early to say"
User5: "Hi ed, I am new, I just headrd sanchez might leAVE, CAN YOU 100% CONFIRM THIS? "

ED: ". "

{Ed001's Note - that is an excellent way to put it! I know that a few times I have been responsible for biting people's heads off purely because it has been the last straw, rather than because of anything they actually did or said as such. It does get too much at times and we can try our hardest not to snap, but sometimes it is impossible.}

This come up every few months. ED may have a slightly low tolerance to repetitive and thoughtless posts but the information he/ she provides is extensive and usually very reliable - let's not lose that on this page.

And readers, if you don't like the attitude, go somewhere else. This is not a subscription service, so this whole "clients" thing is bullshit. I don't want your whinging to ruin it for the rest of us.

works both way alex. no posters no page. no eds no page. I enjoy the posts any tbh that are on here they are a good read.

us the fans don't know fully what's going on at arsenal and the eds don't so we discuss on here.

The Eds are humans, I for one know if I was asked the same question daily it would actually p#%* me off probably even more so only ask questions that have not been rinsed 24/ 7 otherwise you deserve the response given.

If only there was a search button that'll end all these repeated questions 👀.
