Things are very different here now, aren't they?

Well, yes it is a very different forum now, just ask the one's who have gone on very long long long holidays to Europe and China and other faraway places.

 

The goads and baiting has not diminished but the responses are  now avoided so there is no nit picking word that can be buttoned or a very polite decline to respond is now the norm.

Looks like a pot / kettle moment. Or do as I say not as I do.

Shorten is not the best choice, imo, but the Labor members hardly get a chance to get their point across with the current speaker.

There is a definite double standard being applied in the reps these days.

how are the responses avoided?

I am not sure the new regime is good for community spirit, it seems to stifle debate and hence interest.

Well that makes 2 major parties that are lost in the wilderness.

To be fair I have heard some smart things from non cabinet 

ministers in both parties so all we as a country need is a system

that would bring ability to the fore instead of the oldboys network.

Oh I forgot our constitution does that so now we need the parliament

to adhere to the constitution.

the overused "interpersonal", a term used like "the wider community" it seems both terms are used when something can't be backed up with fact. "The wider community" always make me think of the diet industry. Woman LOL

It seems to me that some feel interpersonal is only if it is in reply to them, not what they write in reply. Similar to vitriolic speech etc.

  • Debate is stifled when a poster snipes the op rather than the topic.
  • Debate is stifled when a thread is derailed to the point that is no longer relevant.
  • Debate is stifled because some have a grudge against certain posters and never let up on the baiting.
  • Debate is stifled when posters spam scrollers.
  • Debate is stifled when posters resort to spamming derogatory photo shopped pictures.
  • Debate is stifled when the button pushers decend.
  • Debate is stifled as soon as a mod interrupts the flow of conversation.

So yes, the forums ar very different now.

you neglect oversized  pictures someone posts. they border on screaming and are generally  misleading.
