I must say..........

..... the content of most of the topics here is getting progressively sillier.

LL, as you know, it would be a complete waste of time. It would just degenerate into yet another meaningless hodgepodge of utter diatribe in no time flat.

Shame though because I've noticed even lately that more and more active posters are not even bothering no more.
If I go it's from choice and boredom, not enforced 😉

LL the parameters have go progressively narrower and narrower. It would appear that lateral and original thinking and the art of communication are the casualty of staid and immovable concepts

The forum is not yet at a stage of irretrievable mortality, it can be saved, what it needs a some cardiac massage and with some luck it will recover 🙂

Silliness is an admirable break from dour. At least it gives people something to smile or sneer about. Depending on the form of silliness.

Amber, there are degrees of silliness, when the silliness exceeds it's comic relief value it takes on a hue that is even worse than dour

I have entered some decent threads but the hijacking and derailing

into the political or racial is tiresome.

Some are relentless.

I'm going to post a thread that I think will cause some contraversy but not today, I can't be bothered, maybe tomorrow. ; )

Controversy is good as long as it does not sink to the depths of diatribe, which unfortunately is the fate of most controversial topics.

The art of debate in it's true sense is virtually non existent.

Entertain us with some interesting threads then.

silverfaun — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 03:29:00 GMT

Your've got that right.

I see examples of this behaviour time and time again.

Its so bad now you are not game to respond to a poster for fear of pack attack or mass reporting, thread derailing or the kiss of death, mods asking for "polite posting" or words to that effect.

Debate is dead, abuse reigns, name calling is king.

What's the point anymore?

The few posting atm are just interesting in pollie bashing and saying the same carp over and over in every thread.

Maybe all it needs is for someone to start the ball rolling, tip you're in.

I tried bumping the very few non politics threads today, did'nt last long until the other threads wre bumped and again all up the top.

Is there anyone left here that wants to do something other than C&P?

Re: I must say..........

just_me_karen — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 03:40:56 GMT

Is there something wrong with copy paste?

Re: I must say..........

*pepe — Sun, 23 Mar 2014 03:45:18 GMT

all the interesting threads get locked and removed.

Well my day has been constructive, i've made 8 freezing lots of slow cooked lamb stew, 4 freezing lots of Rogan Josh with jasmine rice. I've done my Mother's washing and ironing and delivered it out to her, i've done my early morning 1 hr walk, the OH has had my nanna nap *cranky face*. Now, I want to be entertained
