I enjoyed the political type debates.
It's easy for people to say ' Go and find a forum on political debate'.
However, I thought it was quite unique to have commentary from quite a local group and see their differing views on a wider spectrum. It's a shame that this opportunity has been lost, for whatever reason. I gained some good information from people on this forum, and I'd like to think that occasionally I made a post of a little interest.
I know that the mod's have a stance on this so I fully understand. I hope one day in the future they may consider having a conversation about possibly allowing political stuff in the future. I think it's useful.
There's arguments on all the boards to a degree.
I don't see it ever coming back as we now live in a PC bubble where you can't say anything for fear of offending someone.
Just on a side note, I don't think I've ever been offended. What happens?
Do they take you off to A & E?
Put the defibrillator on you to shock you back into the real world?
Put a plaster on the offended part?
Put you on a course of anti offensive pills?
