However, before I deal with the problem now we have to go back to the origins of the hysteria that hit the site, In 2014 Dave and I made a major mistake in what we wrote about some players - comments which has resulted in hate campaign against certain players that no one believe could reach the levels it did.
In 2014 with the return of Botha and Matfield it was clear they were not up to standard - so Dave and I wrote about potential alternatives and the names we came up was De Jager and Du Toit as better players to invest in. Also on 2014 we wrote about the fact that De Allende seemed good enough to be considered as center, Heaven forbid - why not Frans Steyn? He was the hero of 2007 and how dare we have different ideas from the Mozart crowd.
The result was a total onslaught on those three players and what Mozart and his side-klicks then did was amazing. They started studying games not to see who did well - they started threads stating how they found occurrences nobody else found so they could blame the three players for deficiencies, Typical examples are endless - and so is the threads they started to if.
The technique used was to make a totally unproven statement on site and then repeat it as if it is the truth. Another technique used by Mozart and Co is to lie about what happened and then came with a story that the players should have done something that was physically impossible.
The other person who became totally unacceptable to them is Erasmus. He got the job ahead of White - so the maligning of Erasmus started the day he was appointed and it is still ongoing. I happened to support the Erasmus appointment and that led to unabated attacks on him. What especially AO came up with is really amazing.
I think I should apologize to members about supporting selection of certain players and the appointment of Erasmus as coach - the attacks are relentless and total void of fact so it is all based on an extreme level of prejudice, It is clear to respond to especially Mozart and AO just cause further disruption in the Board and my advice to members are - if they write BS on site - just ignore what is written and laugh it off as totally without merit.
