I love this. A thread about banning threads that turn nasty threatening to turn nasty.

Bollix

As ever.............

After reading what TB has just wrote, I never thought i'd say this but Imo, its time to shut down the Gen Discussion section for a few weeks or so and let things calm down.

Lets get this forum back to what it used to be ................. a car forum.

The banter will carry on regardless in other sections (hopefully)

I dont think the heated threads have been in general discussion recently tbh.The threads which have got heated and argumentitive have mostly been in other sections,and imo there was usually one common denominator - and I dont mean Cem.

IMHO, all WAS calm...until this thread was started, that is.

I haven't voted either way as it doesn't bother me,if a thread on any topic doesn't interest me I don't bother to read any more and move on to another,seemples 

I do the same with quite a few subjects which dont interest me. Particularily tyre threads.

Precisely the point I was trying to imply, some factions have their own agenda, and only for their own reasons, rather than the for the good of the community.

He's left. So no need to continue trying.

I think the factions angle is being at least overblown if not entirely imagined tbh.One or two people will rub people up the wrong way and make themselves unpopular with certain people,but that doesnt mean things have got factionalised.
To have an agenda would be a bit sad and demonstrate a lack of perspective.Its an online car forum at the end of the day,not something which is significant in everyday life in the grand scheme of things.

At the end of the day TB,AA,H21 and MDTM and the mods give up a lot of there time and I suspect(some)money to keep this place rolling,at the end of the day its there forum and the rest of us are just members,I think its up to the Admins/mods to decide what goes here and for the rest of of us to just go with it,tbh I was a little surprised to see H21's poll about yay or nay to politics

Don't change too much though guys,this place is A ok

Agreed and at the end of the day admins decisions are final

Too late tonight to join back into this thread but comments welcome.

TBH politics as a subject header was a convenient hook to provoke responses but at the time in my mind, was pertinent. And remains so.

Don't really want this thread to become another sop for the masses towards admin nor should it be a general bitchfest but the fact that the general mood of the forum - as I readit anyway - is lower than a snakes belly where most of the posting is in gendiss by folks who no longer have an omega. Further, most appear to have no interesting inputing anything to Oof other than comments in gendiss rather than help sections?

As TB says, we have moved on and it is not where I personally want it to be, sadly.

And I don't really want to be there with it.

Accept it while you can H21

I personally no longer have an Omega, although we still have a 2.5 V6 fl Estate in the family.  Whilst I do post in gendiss and gencarchat, I still post regularly in both Gen Help and Elec & Audio help when I feel I can offer correct advice to others.
