Not sure of a couple of things about you moonay and if you know some of the reasons that 'bemuse' you, there is a lot of ill feeling from long standing lifers like some of us to the eggs for reasons I have previously highlighted
I do know you live in Eccleston but not sure if you have ever lived in or originate from Wigan, perhaps living where you do the eggs local to you may not be as nasty and vindictive as the ones that have treated latics and especially us fans with contempt for close on half a century, we have long memories and become even more defensive when we still see threats heading our way.
Also I cannot remember you ever using cockney latic, perhaps you did but certainly not as an active participant like you are on here, bicky knows mutty's style and called piemon out because of all the shit he stirred on that board, something I can attest to as well, that is something you may be oblivious to.
I hope that goes someway to explain the reasons for some of our responses to this troll and at the same time cures your "bemusement"
We may argue on here, regularly heated ones. but we all have a deeply shared passion about the tics, some have a moan, some do wind others up, we all have different views, but make no bones about it at the end of the day we all have the same goals and hopes, to see WAFC become the very best we can.
Mutty/pie does not share any of those attributes or dreams as he, like many eggs does not like WAFC and certainly does not support us, he is here for one reason alone, partly because the footfall on CL is not very big now so he doesn't get the rises he seeks to satisfy his agenda and has seen this board as a place to cause shit and preach his venom.
Right ...
Lived in Eccleston all my life, so no, not from Wigan. Lots of folk round here support both ... though of course, some follow the rugby while supporting another (big!) football team, while others follow (for eg) Nob End and St Helens. However, as I started watching Latics in 78, yes, I well remember the animosity, and of course Lindsay's crass comments.
In the past, I've posted on CL on a reasonably regular basis, (yes, under the same username), but admittedly, nothing like as frequently as on here.
My bemusement is based on the reaction of posters to these posters who are supposedly coming on the board to merely wind up folk. If you truly believe that's what they're trying to do, then why on earth would you get nowty with them?
Brick, Grip, Dastardly, Grim Reaper, there are plenty who've come on here seemingly to poke around in the hope of getting a reaction ........ so why react? It's just daft.
As I've said before, I haven't seen any posts from PE on here which "preach venom". Regardless, even if he did, DON'T RESPOND !!! Trolls want to be fed ... if they don't get what they're after, they'll bugger off. If PE is indeed Mutty, then don't you see that both Bicky and you have been giving him what he's after (according to you) ........so why?
Ignore him ... either simply by not responding, or by using the functionality. To get wound up by them is just silly.
