Yep , I've been in contact with NB but I wont divulge what was said , suffice to say I think he was villified for his beliefs by a certain few on here.
As for Zou Lou I think you only have to read his very subtle and diplomatic comments on a certain thread to come to a conclusion.
I for one will miss their contributions greatly.

I would echo all of the above.

I personally dont blame them, some of the comments made by those in disagreement with their views were very personal and unnecessary.  I have been on the receiving end of some myself.  As a result I often think twice about joining some debates, the number of times I write a response and delete it without posting does not bear mentionning.

Civilised debate is one thing some people, not everyone, on here are incapable of.  That said I like it on here because there are many on here who I enjoy the e-company of

It's very sad that both Zulu and Nickbat have taken the course of action they have... I didn't particularly enjoy all the environmental posts but just missed them out

We didn't always agree, but we managed to keep it polite and civil

Thats it, thats what people need to do!

Not everybody is always going to agree with everything everyone says, sometimes if its not an opinion that others share. Sometimes you get it rammed down your throat along with a snide comment.

This forum is full of very opinionated people maybe if a few of them thought a little more about other peoples opinions before they posted then things would be better.
Not everyone likes the sames things, reads the same paper, buys the same shoes and thinks the same way as you do.

Having said all of that tho, I enjoy the adult conversation that goes on in this site. You will always get people that take the moral high ground on subjects thats because they feel so strongly about it. Which I think is healthy for a forum.

Considering that the average age of most users of this site is somewhat higher then other Vauxhall forums I have been on, I do consider things to sometimes, dare I say it? get a little bit petty on here!

Which is normally easy to do as they had "climate" inserted into the title, so folks could avoid the threads if not interested.
Which is why I dont really get it when people moan about the existence of such threads.

Absolutely. ....... imo this comes from frustration of not being able to "win" the debate when someone sooooooo wants to "win" it.

But this has also worked in reverse, which it will in "adult" debates!
