Igtzer and Garden Shed patting themselves on the back late last night did indeed make me laugh for while they were fighting for who was the clever one, neither realised that they had indeed been played like many in a surprisingly easy game of text poker! Swampy, Glasnost and others should also take a bow!
Throw off the blinkers that protect your ego and ask yourself a truthful question.
'Were you played by The Hun because he found it easy to do so when anonymity on the internet provides that opportunity'. Most probably, quite probably, no, yes!
Various answers but which one would be the truth?? All of them!
The Hun for both your information shall explain.
I always knew the term was initially used against Celtic and then turned towards ourselves. Indeed Iain Archer used the term in a newspaper report like Lord Haw Haw referred to and our argument was good indeed. Btw Swampy and Mr Beyemystic, that little supposed letter from my friend indeed created enough argument to show that you shouldn't judge a book by a cover!
Anyway I diverse, someone also quite rightly pointed out the term is offensive to Protestants in Northern Ireland but by allowing it to affect us, we create the opportunity for it's use.
I'm proud to be a Rangers supporter and you can call me what you wish. That is your problem not mine. If I need to be warped in my sense of humour by sticking it under your noses to irate you further then so be it. The opportunity arises so often using the English language to twist situations and guide people on words without expression. Did I build the image you have of me or was it creation crafted to draw opinion. Think about it!
The key thing as a Rangers fan, (which I indeed am) was to ensure that you understood that not all Rangers fans are bigots and the generalisation you chose to tar many of us with was in fact false.
In the circles I keep there is a general humour on the perceived notion that Huns as you like to call us are indeed part of a bigot syndrome inherited as a youth. Indeed you are right that in some quarters there's a degree of disdain towards our catholic brethren for the religion they follow but this is usually dispelled by the educated come adulthood when you discover there are many assholes of all religion and also, many decent people of all religions.
Overall I think The Hun proved two points. One that you can lead anyone down an alley of perception and deceit using the faceless keyboard and secondly, that there are Rangers fans out here in the real world who don't really care what you call us as you have no real influence on our own lives. If anything, you allow us the time to laugh at the name callers while watching them tell themselves they are in control.
The question you should finally ask, how many were duped on here by me and how many got it!
Not many I suspect going by the ease in which you retaliated to carefully worded points designed to antagonise the bigots on both sides.
In saying that, I'm sure the really astute who stood back and watched others reveal true blindness and naivety by following simple text put down by The Hun identified that the said poster was indeed toying with you. In fact, I can say early in April of this year, NO.8 on here nearly worked it out but simple text deflection and a rest from the board by me seemed to dampen his investigation.
So gentleman, were the bigoted amongst you duped?
Remember, bigotry is truly for fools and there is definitely a few of fools on here!
Gentlemen, good morning!
