And I'm with Dudeofrude, Fazian & ogri48. Looks like you're out on your own in wanting the contentious, divisive political threads retained Grahamm
And I agree with Dude too, and Graham. Maybe try to make your point without having a go at another member YamFazFan.
To quote the Dude.
People were starting to get very bitter towards one another which is a shame as we are all here to share our common interest in bikes and there are some fantastic members here who go out of their way to help others.
The problem is the very people who start politcal threads on say, bike forums, are the very same people who then spit the dummy out and get upset when others express an opposing view. Also those with extreme views rarely like having their views questioned, and rather than enter into reasoned debate they then get personal.
As has been proven time and time again here on foc-u, that numerous members cannot play nice when it comes to politcal discussion, then is it not about time, and yeah taking into account that this is a bike forum, that politcal threads and debate are finally banned here.
I had previously thought that maybe a politics section should be set up in the Naughty Corner. But then I finally adjusted my profile settings and had a look in the naughty corner, and wondered what the foc is all that shite doing there anyway. Profile back to normal.
My suggestion is ban politics - outright. And delete The Naughty Corner. Clean this place up.
