And the additional banter here over the past few pages seems to confirm the "nutball" conclusion. Sock puppet or not.

“Did you just call us zealots, like in the Inquisition?”

“No, that was Patricia.”

I’m starting to think it’s just a disgruntled Real Madrid fan with multiple personalities

Maybe the critics aren't a fan of Barca, it should be renamed Chelsea Academy. That will calm things down.

Why? Because they are straight caricatures of previous exchanges in this thread and they divert attention from all of the serious criticisms that have been written about.

And now a follow up to your second point:

Because they are straight caricatures of previous exchanges in this thread and they divert attention from all of the serious criticisms that have been written about.

1st year barca parent and if there are nutjobs, which i'm sure there are. You'll never talk to them, I haven't talked to 1 parent since joining and I love it. No drama, no issues. I won't miss you, enjoy your season coach of club xyz.

I'm not a coach and your kid probably sucks which is why you are at Barca.

Who’s cucking you for you to be so bitter?

And almost on que The Sock Puppet Master. The Sock Puppet Master finds it impossible to believe that multiple people can have similar opinions pro or con. Sock Puppets only exist when posts are against their world view.

Posting multiple times on the same topic with the same opinion is not being a sock puppet. It is simply posting multiple times with the same opinion. Being a sock puppet is the act of assuming another persona to either agree with a point or troll and discredit a point in an attempt to drive up conflict. Making the same point is not being a sock puppet.

If RSD posted a comment as RSD and then he logged on anonymously to simply agree or disagree in order to drive conflict or in an attempt to troll that would be a sock puppet.

But users making up follow up points or simply repeating a basic point is not being a sock puppet.

So please stop throwing the accusation around without any merit other than posts do not agree with you.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this entire page of posts aren’t simply a sock puppeted straw man.

You are winning at life right here.

The above post should be pinned as an example of the non-sense criticism that goes on here and somehow Barca parents are labeled as overly sensitive, defensive pro-Barca zealots.

You've read 80 pages - over 1180 posts - about a club you "would never consider joining"?

Who's the nutball?

Not in one setting a-hole. I also read every page of the VYS thread and dumb thread about what leggings kids should wear when playing soccer. I love soccer. My kid loves soccer. We are always on the lookout for potential new clubs (ours is mediocre).

I don't think this response is making the argument that you thought it would.

Were you on the lookout for better leggings too? it’s okay man, you don’t owe anyone an explanation...
