That was what I tried to do... Stay impartial, welcome the new members and direct Truespock to the Current News forum.... because he asked. I figure he can draw his own conclusions... ESPECIALLY after reading how this thread evolved... What a hoot..

How did it evolve and why so funny?..I presume that was irony QS..but some people don't know what's going on with these types of remarks, care to explain?
 

You haven't read the thread? #54..#55 #56 #57.. Please... If you don't think those are nasty remarks...I don't know what to tell you. and YOU agreed with them... I'm sure that Truespock will be able to make up his mind with the info provided in THIS thread..
 
Well tbf I agreed with 54 and 55.. and I do agree that in this forum and all forums Lauries post is relevant..people do indeed sometimes take things as a personal insult if others have a different viewpoint..that's fact!!

As for post 55.. I agree also that quote '' So the new people see bossy, argumentative posts and decide “who needs this bs?” and they move on. Or they just ‘read’ and rarely, if ever, post.

I can see why some are turned off. ''...that is also fact ..again not just on this forum but on probably every other discussion forum.

Doesn't answer my question tho'.. which was ''how did this 'evolve, and why so funny''...I'm not looking for an argument, I genuinely would like to know .. I'm sure I'm not the only one

Ok... Not funny.... but certainly IRONIC.. Those who complain about others can certainly dish out the smack themselves... But I guess THAT"s OK... particularly if YOU agree.. right?

I have no idea why you seem to be making this a personal attack on me QS...I agreed with the points made by 2 posters...clearly you don't agree with that, so fine, but you do seem to be quite angry, and I just would like to know why so?
 
Hoorah!!! A forum with some life to it! I think I just wet myself a little!

Q-Why did the blind guy cross the road?
A-He was dragged there by his seeing eye chicken!

(I'm legally blind, so I can tell these.)

The trouble with political threads is that too many people see any view divergent from their own as a deadly personal insult to be answered by personal abuse and ridicule instead of reasoned debate.

And some of us enjoy the thrust and parry of a discussion that is not all one sided and unanimous.

This exactly... This forum should have a place for everyone.. If someone does not like the stimulation of debate, then they shouldn't debate.. and if they do jump in, don't complain if someone counters, and run to non-debate sections to complain about it, and paint people as nasty and abusive..
 
Hmmm...
So Truespock, do you recognise yourself here?

Definition Of: Stirrer

someone who causes trouble

1. trouble-maker, especially one who is only stirring in jest;
2. activist, especially in a political context.

Derivation - sh*t stirrer - someone who likes to raise a stink.

Noted mitchezz, but remember that there are many different threads to post in that are universal and not at all political and that everyone has the option of starting new threads to suit their interests.

Let freedom reign.

I'm totally in agreement with you DW...if controversial subjects are contained in one or 2 threads they are easy to avoid for those who may not enjoy serious debate or even downright blood shedding...shame for those who do enjoy it tho' and find that the threads are full of argumentative folks who perhaps refuse to see the other point of view without taking personal umbrage when they are looking for a serious debate .. that aside, I agree, No forum can survive on threads about pretty maids all in a row and their kittens.
