Funnily enough I find myself spending more time on the BBS where they aren't as tolerant of racist and bigoted posters I think you might be wrong there. Still, all the time you are a moderator here, you can think and do what you like. However, If you think the BBS is a better model for debate, then perhaps you should resign as a mod and spend all of your time over there. If you are going to keep closing down threads based on your whims and bias then this section will soon become redundant.

I am supremely confident that if you were to take a straw poll of Hol users you would be proved catastrophically misguided. Either way, grown men spending a significant amount of their time online bickering and squabbling - for this is precisely what it is, be under no illusion otherwise - really ought to have a good look at themselves. It is lame, lamentable and such an utter, utter waste of time. (Not to mention being tedious for others.) By all means spend their time debating issues, if that's their thing - and the odd minor spat is always likely occasionally to break out - but to regularly engage in sniping, nit-picking, name-calling and even, on occasion, bullying is just tragic. Someone on here (Jake D'eagle possibly) once offered a joke that works here. I won't give it in full as it is undeniably mean-spirited and poor-taste (though I would be lying if I claimed it's never made me chuckle), but anyone who knows it might agree... "Arguing online is like competing in the Paralympics: even if you win ..." Edited by Eustace H. Plimsoll (01 Apr 2020 11.43pm) A well written and enjoyably creative post as usual. But come on...bullying over text? That's hyperbolic. .Arguing and digs on political forums are normality. Perhaps you're just a bit too tarty to cope with it all. That's ok, no one is forced to engage. However, those who push for the feminisation of discussion boards need to reflect upon the fact that their views aren't universal and that many other boards cater for them.

There are a few posters whose posts are tedious to read but the one person who is head and shoulders in the lead for unpleasant and tedious posts isn't WE at all but someone far more self obsessed. Even I don't bother much in this forum any more which is probably why there are some posts in this very thread that are deserving of a card but no card has been issued. Funnily enough I find myself spending more time on the BBS where they aren't as tolerant of racist and bigoted posters Wow. If you are more comfortable with a more censored environment like the bbs, please tell Penge as we don't require another clone like that and you should be where you are comfortable. Hol needs to be modded by those who agree with the owner on free speech.

Well done you have single-handedly made the political threads a highly unpleasant and tedious place to visit.

As a longtime reader I can honestly say that the constant need to turn every thread into a race or ethnicity rant is pathetic, self indulgent and boring. You'd think in a pandemic there would be at least a slither of recognition for the situation we're all in, but no you're here whining and telling moderators to quit. Grow up. Get back on the topic at hand or sod off.
