Only if you accept people making things up, I prefer the truth, but guess it's not that important eh?
Even if i misread the original post, the thing is it's just a fans' forum/messageboard.
Whatever we think, it is not that important.

So what ? If he thinks that we must have the most fickle fans in the country and gives his reason(s) for that, I think it's fair enough.
I'm not sure where he claims to live or his IP address is anything to do with this thread or, indeed, any of us.
Agree with him or disagree with him but, please, no victimisation.

I have no issues with anyone on here, yes, some have a dig, some don't like the selections, substitutions, the board, the lack of spending, the individual performances, but that is after a defeat usually.
The feelings are genuine, it is a very emotive game after all. I like Barnes, and wasn't best pleased to read comments posted recently, but I understand it. its just fans venting their frustrations because we are perilously close to the drop zone. Also, we are entitled to change our opinions surely.
I never quite get why people are surprised by a variety of views on a message board that is primarily about our team.

It wasn't in order of most ficklestestest, just all the ones who are more fickle.

Arsenal would probably be top though if it was Tim. :)

But the point is, he’s more guilty of that than most. Completely unjustified in calling me a prick last week.

Surely them lot down the road are more fickle than us? 10 years ago the majority of them swore they would never return under the Venkys.

As soon as they started winning games they went back.

Fickle? I've always found the posting on this board to be anything but:
<3 points from the last three games: We're definitely relegated - Dyche has to go - The Board must spend £50 million on new players.
>6 points from the last three games - God sits on the right hand of Dyche - we're heading for Europe - The Board must spend £50 million on new players.
3-6 points from the last three games: has Dyche lost his mojo? - we risk being relegated/not making the Europa League - The Board must spend £50 million on new players.
The board is consistent, it's the results that are fickle.

Spurs fans are by far the worst for slagging players off. Horrible fans.

It's because watching your team play pulls your emotions all over the place, ranging from absolute elation to intense despondency. When Burnley lose we are upset and disturbed so tend to write things that our rational faculties would dismiss as inane ranting. It's not really being fickle, it's just allowing the emotions to take control, which will happen to every supporter. The truth is that however good things get, something worse is coming, and however bad things get, something better is coming. Right now it is about as good as it will get, and we are all jubilant and elated, with a spring in our step.

not at all. your post was embarrassing and to sum it up ive no idea who you are( i actually never usually look at posters names, ive no interest) but it appears you had the audacity and some sort of power to completely edit all my post to what your perceived it should have said. that in its self is disgraceful. You go into someone else's account and hack them because you don't like their response. that is unjustified

#kloppout trending on twitter the last few days. There are worse fans than us and at least we don't have fickle owners, Lampard has been sacked for bad league form

What the hell are you insinuating? When did said event take place? You might not have liked my suggestion of dropping Barnes for Wood, but why call me a prick for it? What did I say that was embarrassing? For the record Pushpin, I asked you very politely for an explanation but I see you were issued with a short ban and your messages were deleted. Again this was nothing to do with me, but you clearly have made up your mind. Why would I ask you something and then delete it?

Then what did ‘said’ edits say? And when did this happen?

So in summary, you’ve now accused me of making an appalling post of my own; of hacking your account and of being a prick, all because of a post where I offered my opinion on dropping Barnes for Wood? You’re so off the mark with your accusations. I’ve got much better things to do with my time. But you are so, so wrong and frankly, a bit cheesed off.

If you could offer any insight into the above (the whole thread seemingly got pulled in the end), I’d appreciate that.

Why was it embarrassing?
Why do you think I deserved being called a prick?
What have I apparently said on one of your messages?
When did said post happen?

Best wishes
