Thanks Joe. I will visit you sometime. I can't leave here just yet I'm waiting for people....
I think a lot of people have just lost interest in this board, maybe frustrated by the constant reporting and subsequent (and often unjustified suspension) or they've drifted off to facebook ot twitter or somewhere.
Some have died. Torino among them, I have heard.
it's no longer possible to hold "frank and vigorous" debate here as the threads get pulled and people get banned. and it's not allowed to even start a thread about some recent news stories if they are of a controversial or confrontative nature.
and there's no HTML anymore since the board changed to the American ebay style boards.
The quality of the arguments here is dismal with many posters re-hashing the same old themes, not learning, unwilling to understand but still willing to "debate" using irrelevant "McArguments"
You say you read the Pauline Hanson thread? you might see what I mean and it's so frustrating that, as I don't have a cat or a thermomix or slow cooker and I don't like krispy kremes, and there's a real risk of being banned for life for minimal offense, I have nothing I can talk about and almost no one to talk to here. I often look in, just in case there is something of interest and that's how I saw your return thread.
