Let me guess - both apologies arrived AFTER this thread was creating?
Meaning a lack of sincerity in the apologies.

But I must stress that both apologies were delivered, without doubt, with sincerity.

Well, Carl, if you accept the apologies, that's your decision.
Personally, I'd expect the apologies were made seeing the strength of people's feelings about their comments; hence more out of perceived self-preservation than anything else. After all, there was zero reason to bring your daughter into things, and certainly they can't claim they were in the middle of a blazing row with you, making the comments in the heat of the moment.

I visit Mike's board every day, being an exile, to catch up on any news. I still will as I enjoy reading the good, knowledgeable posters' views.
However, Mike's board has gone downhill over the past couple of years, in my opinion, due to a clique of (clearly) young blokes who think they are incredibly funny, comment on everything as if they are the Oracle, and post patronising rubbish to people who have followed the City longer than they've been born. They are smart arses who hijack good threads posting banal shite, which clearly, they all think is hilarious. I think it's pathetic the majority of the time. Someone will post something interesting, and then they'll all be chipping in with utter crap, to the point where the OP is forgotten. It's very annoying.

Now before I start to explain the reason for this post, firstly I will say I thought long before deciding whether or not to post this particular thread as it could and probably will create more angst between both message boards, but given the reasons behind it I have decided to make my feelings known on this board to hopefully curtail a situation or at best to stop it happening to anyone else.
I know more than most that when I post information on this board then I am accepting criticism or credit in equal measure and from all readers who wish to read it. I have never reacted to any comments made against me, despite some of them being insulting and out of order but the way I see it I am fair game and it is the nature of the beast.
But today in a thread on CCMB regarding job losses at Media Wales brought about posts by the users WJ99, Dom D'Orgeval and Alex and between the 3 of them they decided that my daughter, who is 10 years old, is also part of the game too.
Don't know what these people said about your daughter but even if it was nothing of any big deal they were still totally out of order. Your daughter nor any other member of your famliy should be brought into anything that you post on here as a Cardiff City supporter. Being a City fan and posting updates on here have nothing to do with your daughter or other members of your family. As you say these 3 people are now fair game and fully deserve everything they get from now on.
NO she is not.
I have spoken with Mike Morris this afternoon and he removed the posts upon request but the more I have been thinking about it the more it has bothered me. I am not tarnishing every poster on CCMB with the same brush and I hope that no one else does either as there are many good people on CCMB and like any message board there are a few that will let the side down.
There is a moral issue to this post and that is this message board, and after speaking again to Mike Morris in the last 20 mins, and CCMB will not tolerate people's families and in particular children being brought into postings. It is neither necessary nor welcomed and I will warn anyone on this message board that if any poster chooses to go down that route on this board then you will be banned without warning.
In the past six months I have had disgusting posts removed regarding my daughter on a Swansea message board and though these latest posts are not of the same nature they are still immoral and I will not accept them.
I will reiterate I am fair game like the posters above are but mine and their families are not.

Carl.
Having reflected on this thread and read Mike Morris's comments and some from Dom on the other board, I suggest it is now time to lock this thread and bring this to an end.
As I said earlier I will not defend the indefensible and your daughter should not be brought into this.
However Dom is usually a pretty good poster on CCMB and his comments seem to suggest that nothing malicious was intended.
Mike Morris has backed this up.
For those who for whatever reason refuse to go on to CCMB Dom said
The picture of Carl and his daughter should never have been posted and I was stupid to reply to it but I think it should be stressed that there was absolutely nothing malicious in the posts on that thread. It has been painted as if Carl's daughter was abused or attacked by posters on this site, that is simply not the case.
However, the fact remains that involving Carl's daughter at all was unacceptable and very regrettable
If the above quote by Dom is correct then yes he and the othere were silly but to call then scum and vile and some of the other unsavoury epithets that have been bandied around this is to my mind considerably over the top.
I now also feel that to name the posters on this occasion perhaps didn't nelp the matter, unless what was said is worse that Mike Morris and Dom imply.
It should perhaps have been left to Mike as he has done to warn those involved and anyon else that any future transgressions would meet with severe comnsequences including naming and shaming.
The genie is perhaps regretttably out of the bottle now on that one
Mike has I think also quite correct;y said thathe does not want to get into a debate about this. and has, again correctky I think locked the thread.
As I said in my first paragraph I think it is time for the same to happen to this one. Indeed I think it is long overdue.
It's your decision of course, but I will say that if you agree with some of the over the top comments on here then I think you are wrong.
Regards
Elwood
