There has been over the last few weeks resentment by some members. That they have not liked certain issues which have arisen.
on a few threads.
But the site itself offers CURRENT issues and POLITICS.
This in turn can at times lead to displays of bad language. I for one do not endorse bad language.. But it happens..

So you now have the opportunity to choose this type f THREAD or dismiss the idea. I for one enjoy good discussion .


at times i find it entertaining. But others object. possible thru bad language being employed if things are not going there way in a heated argement. and exchange.
i think common sense must prevail And allow this type of THREAD to be in place.
Remember you dont have to visit if your easily offended. Myself im a bit teflon coated but not all are. YOU DECIDE

Its up to the individual whether to post in threads. If they don't like a thread content they need not post or even read. It is up to these people to open a new thread where the feel able to post.

I was going to do your club badges first and then the rest of them but looks as if most of your fan club have left here anyway. Also, one of the other 3 seems to have disappeared confused laugh

I think that there's a difference between stating our opinions and debating in a rational manner as opposed to using personally abusive, swearing and threatening verbal behaviour to someone who has a different opinion professor

It's only expected that people will report when they see this behaviour.. also racism/discrimination is wrong anyway.

There you go already in your post wittering blah blah blah about your pedigree being 100% english yawn



cool

and you have the cheek to suggest I keep things friendly - your brain is addled pal - you mistake humour for bitterness and expect people to stand by and take it - no, of course not, your objective is to 'goad' well, objective met - you have goaded me - and I dont come out with childrens stories

We already have a platform for debate, however, I dont think demeaning remarks or personal jibes are taken too seriously in intelligent ones - they are usually reserved for the playground.

Its every one has the right on the forum to report any thing they find offensive. It is then up to the moderators to decide whether action will be taken. So if you feel that you haven't written any thing offensive you have nothing to worry about.

And as for being 100 % English i doubt anyone in Britain can say their 100% English / welsh /Scottish. As you would probably find if you followed your family tree back.

I find this post so ridiculously childish. It's also so obvious in the context you've replied that you have not really understood my post in the first place D'oh!

Where do I actually say YOU are a racist? Where do I mention I'm friends on here with the names you gave as an example?

Seabiscuit just said it was you who started the crap language first. Which is neither here there to me as I find all this " Who called someone a name first" ..very chidish on anyones part anyway.

As for your inference that you were ganged up on by some of the members. I think somehow you've made a mistake and got it the wrong way around and actually meant to mention how you and your sidekicks ganged up on the scottish guy every time he posted.

"Good luck" on the dating side of things by the way thumbs up

Because the way certain aspects of your persona show through
on here I think you are going to need all the luck you can get smile

i don't pretend to understand the Q fully but i just stumbled upon this part of the site yesterday and i gotta say i spent a couple hours reading many of the polls and i really enjoyed myself!head banger

also i would like to say that most of the people in here seem to be really cool and level headed cheers

i tried to get into threaded coversations a few years ago but i could not get past all the vulgar languge and flamers (i think thats what they called them) i have not seen that here and i think i will be sticking around for a while!!! i'ts just a shame i don't have the internet at home, i hate the two hour limit at the library and the filter software that won't let you access myspace or any kind of IM system!!

I think he was asking if people wanted to have topics for discussion or just light hearted banter type threads. Also, if we did want the debateable topics, should we only have one thread in which to debate them within. However, it's not up to us if we have 1,2 or even 6 threads to debate serious topics in as we don't make the rules, we only abide by them so I somehow had the idea his idea wouldn't really have worked.

Anyway, welcome to the forums and don't worry too much about only having online access for a couple of hours per day as most people have such busy lifestyles. They often only manage to find the time and inspiration to post every so many hours anyway
