Political Threads Should Have A Board Of Their Own.

[icyfroth]

Dear Mods..I've asked it before and will ask it again.

Political discussion on the Community Spirit  board engenders hate speech, enmity, constant argument and divides the community.

There should be a dedicated Politics Board for those that like to indulge in such pastimes.

I like this thread, just wondering why you would complain about political threads when you start them so often?

[icyfroth]

I'm not COMPLAINING about political threads. I just think there should be a seperate board for them.

Just as the fun n games threads got seperated because ppl were complaining about them disrupting their general chat.

I think it unfair.

But that's just me I guess.

I think the Diary stinking govt. thread is a dedicated political thread albeit of the left only,  all of the abhorrhant behaviour you are mentioning is on there and  if they all stayed on that thread it would make for the forum a better place to participate in and give other posters who have a differing opinion an opportunity to put their views across on their own threads.

Unfortunately many like to start threads, bait threads, antagonistic threads, seemingly innocent threads all designed to stir  so it all spills over into those.

Personally I don't mind political threads but some are to be avoided at all costs. Like the above mentioned & et al in the first paragraph.

We are all entitled to start a political thread but the majority of the particpants in this activity are of the left so it degenerates very quickly thus making it impossible to have a decent debate without sniping and spite.

We are also witness to many posters driven off and then the gloating starts. This forum used to be a great place to pop into but now its toxic with unseemly behaviour and rampant political bias and hate, name calling, ID witch hunting and the endless offensive graphics some who will remain nameless resort to rather than an opinion of their own.

There are plenty of threads I can bump up to prove that you are completely incorrect on that score

Thanks donna, but I choose otherwise.

Conversely, you could post your political threads on the F&G board as well.

Because when it comes right down to it, it's all about fun and games for you and me as well.
