Over the years on Fabs forums, there's been just about every subject you could ever dream if, that's been discussed.
Mostly, people just offer a perspective then move on, but occasionally a topic gets rather heated and somewhat acrimonious.
Are there any topics that you now simply steer clear of, to avoid unpleasantness, despite the fact you may feel strongly about them?

What unpleasantness. It's just words on a screen. 
Some people take things far too literally and don't bother to think about comments.
Think outside the box.  |

Life is political. Everything in life is political. What I'm typing now is political. If I keep it nice and lovely so no one falls out of love with me or suffers trauma - that is political.
It's not the topics that I steer clear of but I don't respond to certain people |

I should have said , I respond to anyone but stop when I realise they have to resort to insult and use erroneous support to make a point. |

Correcting myself now ....... Certain posters , mainly women, just turn the thread into a flirt fest so I fuck off and cba anymore .... cos to be fair and upfront I am not able to stomach their playground techniques and watching the blokes support it is nauseating if they want to flirt for any length of time fuck off into private messages ffs.. or ACTUALLY get your bits out on cam ....
It's all the 'i want to be seen to be wanted' bit that makes me vom.
I've never objected , cos ..... just cos I don't like it is no reason to stop - but I don't have to read it..
One or two comments fine ..... |

No apology necessary Sissy..... I didn't mean that kind of insult. I meant when chatting here , instead of someone giving an alternative point of view or even agreeing they just lose emotional control and insult.... they think insults win. |

A related point (not precisely on thread so apologies for this)..threads where guys will skip or ignore other men or tv/ts and just post obsequious shite to the women. It makes me wonder how secure/mature they are (and are they either enough to be on a site like this?). It’s not like I (or anyone else they do this with) is asking them over for sex it’s a forum thread ffs.
Rant over. Sorry. |

Probably deserves a separate post. People who comment on your post only to reply to comments of those they chase rather than participate by relating to topic of the subject. |

Yes. A few years ago I was a lot more... well willing to debate with people. I'd relish getting my teeth into a meatier topic. I'm not sure if it's down to me mellowing or the rise in ad hominem posts but I don't get as involved in certain topics.
As much as I try and avoid it, certain posters will affect the likelihood of me replying as well - sometimes I'm poster blind and reply to the thread rather than the poster but other times I think nah, I'll leave that. |

Thank u 
You're 100% right, one should not lower their standards fueled by anger (easier said than done, but we must all try to rise above petty squabbles).
Is much better to be kind. |

100 % agree with this.....even though a decade ago I was probably quite guilty of that exact behaviour. But you live and learn and evolve.
Or not.
As for subjects I avoid? Nope. I'll post on anything I have an interest in, regardless of who the OP I'd, as long as I have something valuable to contribute. What grinds my gears (as per a thread of mine not too long ago) is when people post pointless, vague, 'non-reply' comments to questions, which help nobody, educate or inform no-one and just fill up a thread with essentially nothing. That and thread hijacks, derailments and forum love-ins.
But I'll stick to my guns on any points I make unless someone can convince me otherwise and I won't state any factual claims that I'm not 100% sure are true, based not on what bollocks I've read in the press or on Facey but on peer reviewed research.
Some people like to claim all sorts when discussions get a little 'heated' on posts. But there's a wide gulf between opinions and verified facts.
I'm sure someone will be along in a mo to tell me that facts aren't facts though......

Absolutely. Dont you find its the same regular forumites who post and contribute to those threads? And only tend to nominate each other from their little group. |

"Politics and anal sex. They both have the potential to get messy.  "
Agee to disagree...
Political arena guaranteed but can't say the same for anal, simply because if one preps before play then can have an abundance of fun without it ever getting messy (hence comfort in doing plenty arse to mouth without any fear). Just as they do in Porno movies. Like with all good things "preparation" is key.
But you're right, since there's always a potential accidents can happen (which is usually when preparation has been rushed). |

"Gender identity politics. "
Yep the paranoia around the Scottish GRC now... It's like the world is coming to an end with some people who are clearly unread about the issue.
Some of us with RLE (official transitioning term Real Life Experience) roll our eyes and close the thread... |

I feel guilty sometimes avoiding these threads , like I should be representing the team so to speak but there comes a time when I just have to avoid them for my own sanity.
I tend to just use those threads as a chance to see who I wouldn’t be compatible with instead |

There are an inordinate amount of hackneyed topics that I stay clear of, in addition to avoiding the architects of those topics, who thrive by ejaculating their banality and smegma all over the fora every other hour on the hour.
Personally, there's only so much I can take of: wet finger in my bum; rate my cock; what's the temperature in your armpit; taste my semen; which famous meteorologist would you like to fuck?; fingernail Friday; sniff my knickers whilst chatting to my mother in law; ...
The worse part is that they get spewed all over the Lounge where, instead, they should be under the Swingers section. I mean, can you imagine me talking about chess clubs and embroidery in the Swingers section? I would be ejected from there in no time. |

I hear you,but something tells me such topics could evolve into something so revolutionary on Fab, they may,just may, be wonderful.
It's not like many topics stay on track? |

I've grown bored recently tbh so am having a bit of a sabbatical.
I sometimes think I'll post and lose interest before I even finish my first sentence
Agree with most of the comments above on the tired threads. Originality is fleeting on here.
Tired catchphrases  fml
The 'remember the fabbers of yesteryear' threads..... for when the fabbers of today want to remember why they bother to log on...
Bored of the same fabbers playing flirt-tennis.... verbally humping eachother to boost their egos and their fab image. Shhhhhh don't ever spoil the vibe & admit they'd never entertain eachother in person.... just keep posting like clockwork, suck/lick/fuck, on the same short list of fabbers.
The questionable few who use the forums to sidestep blocks and filters to either jibe at or try to hit on other posters.
The repetitive, recycled threads.
And the best of all....
The trigger-happy posters throwing political/religious/racist/etc thread bombs for sport and then sitting back and enjoying the fallout.
So yeah, time for a lil break  |

I read most threads on the Irish forum, sometimes skim through the virus and politics forum for a good ol' eye roll to exercise my eyeballs but couldn't be arsed commenting or getting into a discussion because they usually end up in insults and name calling. Live and let live is my motto.

Politics is just different opinions I know so many people who get so angry because someone votes a certain way or thinks differently... I even know 2 people who were arguing about something basically they wanted the same thing but still disagreed ... I love Politics it brings out the best and worst in people .. sometimes you gotta sit back and watch it all kick off |

There are loads that I can't be bothered commenting on anymore.Sometimes I start to write replies and just think half way through nah I can't be arsed.
So many are just the same threads posted differently,or people saying things to get reactions or attention.Which is grand cos they will usually get it even if it doesn't go the way they want.
A lot of times now though I really can't be arsed with it all and the fakeness of a some of it. |
