Agree with a lot of this.

I also cringe so much I'm in danger of folding in on myself when I see all of the juvenile wordplay used over on Blue Moon. Grown adults making sure to say 'Klanfield' or 'Salad' (seriously, what? Is that an insult? I genuinely can't tell) or Klipperty or PiGMOL. There's loads of others that I can't even think of right now. It is literally 12 year old levels of playground shit that no adult should be proud of.

I find it nauseating over there and I find it the same here. Don't get me wrong, wordplay is fun and where it has meaning it is appropriate (like maybe calling their forum 'Balloon' because it sounds a fair bit like Blue Moon and the users are full of hot air. That's clever.) but even the 'Fraudiola' jibes have me cringing. Make us look no better than those.

There's enough to laugh about without sounding like White fucking Goodman.

Cheers, and I've just done it myself, calling it Blue Loon. Note to self.

I dunno, that just seems to fit  ;D

But agree with your premise!

Because by poking fun at them, you sound like the Blue Loon idiots.

They are a great side, that messed up in the summer and have fallen off a cliff.
If we are 15 points behind them next season is Klopp a terrible manager. Are our players frauds?

No. Just like their players arent.. what did you call them "entitled twats" was it?

Bluemoon is full of bitter, angry people, you can poke fun at the more ridiculous aspects of a club just for a bit of entertainment rather than because they're genuinely making you unhappy.

And their players have shown plenty to suggest they're entitled twats; practically stopping playing to demand a handball against us (which hilariously led to us scoring), Sterling picking fights constantly and attacking our own players on international duty, their whole squad singing about our players/fans getting injured, etc.

I'm not going to pretend all clubs don't have their bad moments, ours included, but avoiding poking fun at them now for fear that we'll be the ones getting grief later on sounds like a pretty boring approach to football. I'm not the type to shove it in another fans face when we beat their team, after all it's just a bunch of millionaires kicking a ball around while we watch at the end of the day, but I don't see the issue with having a bit of a joke on a Liverpool forum when they do something ridiculous.

Yeah. Sorry - I definitely will be making fun of them as much as possible. It’s wonderful. Especially folks like Karen7. Or StatsManGaz.

After 30 years of scorn I'm going to allow myself a little bit of payback.  As I've said before I don't want to become that which I despise, but calling out Blue Loon is merely describing it for exactly what it is. 

I admit I'm tired of people regurgitating their ridiculous conspiracy theories on here though.  It's enough to know that it's eating their little heads up.  I don't need to know the details - in the same way that copy/pasting huge chunks of the latest missive of drivel that is Catcher's sage musings is on the Everton thread.

Yeah this is the bit I was getting at. Not only is it getting repetitive, it seems to help perpetuate these little theories and allow them to grow.

Then don't read them. I've never been able to understand the mindset of people who demand no one else be allowed to talk about something just because they themselves find it distasteful. I don't go into politics threads and feign outrage that unpleasant, depressing things are being discussed. I just mostly avoid them.

How do you avoid reading what you don't like? How do you know you won't like it before you read it? Are you boys judging books by their covers? Because, you know, you're not supposed to do that.

Friends. Can we not just agree, in a comradely fashion, that we are 22 points ahead of them and that this is incredibly funny?
