"So, we've all seen them..... Do you think it's right or wrong that contentious subjects are posted about if you know it'll cause argument? We've all read comments about grabbing popcorn, brew n biscuits when people can plainly see its gonna get uppity. Should the post not be there in the first place? Should we all be more grown up? Should we keep opinions on done stuff to ourselves? Discuss x" If everyone always agreed and shared the same views on everything, the forums would be a very boring place. Debate is good as long as it doesnt get personal and nasty. As long as threads are within site rules, why shouldn't they be posted. People have the choice whether to open and read / post on them. There are plenty of threads and topics I avoid. | |||

"Most things on here cause an argument, some people just get off on being offended, some go out their way to twist what you say and throw it back at you It's hard to know what does not cause an argument on here now days ![]() Agreed. Some people thrive on being offended and will be offended if they can't find anything to be offended about? ? ![]() | |||

"open forum so post what the hell you want within the rules set by the site - but if you post controversial topics or something that invites personal comment be prepared for the good and bad - we are all here for ourselves not to please everbody else - for the record i love the forums - and like profiles stay away from the ones i dont want to get involved with and jump right in to the others ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

To be honest I don't see what relevance your suggestion has to what I posted? | |||

Its very 'noughties' though. I've been on internet forums for a long time and some things never change. | |||

"[Removed by poster at 10/05/16 19:14:47]" You know, the whole point of a forum is to reply to people. It's a forum, not a "make posts and don't reply"rum. | |||

"I wonder if Mercury is retrograde at the mo." Actually, it is! What Happens When Mercury Goes Retrograde? All sorts of things! It’s like everyone you know has suddenly gone mad! You might find yourself getting into bizarre arguments about nothing at all, being unable to finish sentences or barely even able to form a coherent thought. | |||
