My Observation...

*pepe — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:47:56 GMT

Day 3 of the great 'You have to play the game my way or you can't play in my sandpit ner ner' week and I see it has created the biggest them and us type divide on the boards since the great malicious code scandal aka malwaregate.

Congratulations. 😐

Has it? Can't say that I have seen it is any different.... except that some of the posts made by some posters contain interpersonal or nasty messages.... describing others as luvvies etc.... messages about who can post where.....

some posts are contravening cs rules....

I'm cold.......

no, not really because it isn't a political divide..... ALPv LNP..... it's a "some people are tired of the flooding of political threads/copy/pastes and taking a stand."

I am tired of the tirades and accusations.

Maybe because I am cold I am just irritable? :8} and I have a crying dog.....

its actually kind of interesting to watch, like a colonies of ants claiming and defending their territories.

I can even hear David Attenborough narrating it as I read.... :^O

Interesting that you've sided with a bunch of spam bots over some of those who've been friends with you for a long time.

I have to disagree, I've been bonding with people that I previously didn't get along with 😄

I think 'THEM' set themselves up to be 'THEM', by putting everyone else in the 'US' category via their belligerent style of communication.....how anyone can mistake sarcasm and condescension for intelligent debate beats me. as Socrates once said: "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser."

These word wars get boring.....I don't see Aussies as red or blue....we're Aussies and I can tell you that in any emergency e.g. a bushfire, nobody gives a flying fox who votes for whom. too busy watching each others' backs....there is a REAL world and this isn't it.

I thought Gill meant as an observation.... not a participant of either group?

I don't think it should matter about who you are "friends" with.....we don't always agree with our friends... and we shouldn't have to, to remain friends, should we?

I disagree too. Not sure when the political spamming/divide and conquer/ started but it's been going on for months now. The 3 days have nothing to do with it .People had some of them on ignore prior to that anyway. if you put those threads on ignore, then they complain about it ;\

. I couldn't care less who votes for who.

Where is martini's thread BTW?

neither has malwaregate got anything to do with it, that only took up about a week of CS time. :^O
