    Let's not lose sight of the fact that a forum is actually a place of debate and discussion, for the airing of differing viewpoints and arguments back and forth concerning their respective merits. We've agreed to play nice, but if we neuter posters and threads to the point that there is no dissent then the forum will become dull and worthless.

    If I feel that something is bollocks I'll still say so, but I'll keep personal aspects out of it, and everyone else is at liberty to disagree with me and to have their say in return, and I won't take offence over it. Yes, I am arrogant and opinionated, but who the hell would watch X-Factor if Mr Cowell wasn't on it?

    Right, time to trawl through the recent posts to see whom else I can offend....
    ;D ;D ;D ;D

    Yes a forum is a place of debate etc. But when "debate" actualy means open... hostility? (can't think of the right word...) then it becomes a different matter debate is good arguments are bad. If youjr debating somthing then that involves have a view point and also have reasons for those viewpoints! If you say somthing without anything to back it up then its not a debate its crap...

    i dont think anyone took sides over any comment, everyone on here has their good and bad points, and personal differences are a part of normal day life, i dont think any comments made by anyone would influence anyone elses personal view of the "attacker/attackee" so no harm done all round...

    lets ride!

    Oh I dunno, it's quite a giggle when they're sifting through all the total no-hopers and pondlife ;D ;D ;D I've never bothered with it once they've got past that stage...
