Lowering the Tone of Our Forum

[pvt_ak]

If the issue is simply to prevent non-members from seeing the arguing about politics and religion it's easy enough to just make "the snug" visible to members only. Those of us who don't like to see it can just do what I do which is never go there.

It's not an answer though, I don't particularly like having to self censor, only long term solution is to put a stop to it.

I've done the same over recent days and not gone there. So that's choice.

I think the problem goes back to my initial point of good social skills.

I know when to keep my gob shut and what can potentially cause upset or grief. Maybe it's the job I work in when I have to sit tests every 3 months on diversity etc !

Tact and diplomacy have never been strong points!

 

[Godsdog]

Some folk are far too easily offended in my opinion,who'd be a mod? Damned anyway they moderate

 

[sdt7618]

I'd say politics and religion are always going to get the hackles rising...and I have views on both...given the circumstances I think a lot of reserve was shown. They are however rubbish subjects with no answer and no winners....

Hell we can't even have these conversations at our dinner table, never mind with hundreds of other forum members. I am all for informed debate, I am all for freedom of opinion, but it has to stay as opinion, and just like a certain part of our anatomy, everyone has one.

****? :whistle::lol:

Scuse me
my wife is looking at this and she has found that very offensive:shock::rofl:

Have the mods been bollocked for recent weeks ?
I thought they'd done a good job.

M..****? I was on about that aquatic,blue footed ,sea bird much revered on David Attenborough documentaries and the like.

 

[shepp]

Me too. :thumb:
However, had all ALL things that have been posted recently been reasonably civilised, inoffensive to most folks, not xenophopic, not abusive, to note a few criticisms, but just part of a cut and thrust debate allowing us all the 'the mental exercise of an argument' there would have been no need for this thread.
But sadly there were some that did, hence the reason for my post.

You appear to taken the job of self appointed judge, jury and moderator.
What may be offensive to you is not necessarily offensive to others.
Also nobody was abusing any other individual, so how did you come to that critism?

And I was talking about the small garden bird recognisable by it's blue and yellow plumage. Whatever did you think I was talking about?
