I'm a bit sad. This used to be (and I hope still is) the friendliest forum in the world. Over the past few days it's broken my heart to see so much bickering and sarcasm going on in several threads. What the hell is going on?

??

I like the jokes, banter and smart @#$% tongue in cheek comments. I don't want group politics and crap. Though I don't know many of you yet, my swag has always been a family of sorts. You might not know faces but you get to know members through their posts. All this rubbish makes me feel like I'm in the middle of a school ground fight.

Lets all be friends again hey......please

It's just the evolution of a forum.

You can only control what's in your space!

Glenyse I would have to agree, as well too much politics has been coming in, and cheap shots that leads to more comments that don’t help.

I missed most of it. Seemed like a strong personality didn't like the umpires decision or something and went to play cricket somewhere else.

Happens from time to time.

As Dan says, forums evolve.

If you cant play, or dont like the rules then why give yourself an ulcer. Move on and be happy.

cheers

Dazzler it wasn't just one thread I was referring to unfortunately. No way I'll give myself an ulcer over this, I just wondered if anyone else was feeling the same way as me. I just think it's a shame really.

I agree. It's getting old fast.

I used to really enjoy logging in. Not so much lately.

The ulcer wasnt about you. It was a general comment that if someones not happy with a forum then they may as well move on instead of 'getting an ulcer'.

And it is a shame. Normally such a happy place

I could delete the contentious threads and return the forum to its usual staus quo of community harmony if you want. No skin off my nose.

Those threads have survived because the membership mostly prefers a no moderation approach. Well they got that and now some are lamenting it has happened.

Some said at the outset that the threads were c$%p and should be zapped, but I think it has been a good excercise to see how they panned out.

To me these threads have done no harm and have resulted in some comraderie being restored and a bit of laundry being put out to dry.

Ths does happen in all families from time to time.

Nope don't want them deleted Snow. I think the mods have done a fantastic job of managing and not over managing this forum. Maybe you're right about the family spat thing - everyone is entitled to a say and there's bound to be disagreements every now and then.

I guess my point was that I just didn't want it to get to a point where you went to a myswag camp and had to pick sides or be careful what you said.

Maybe I shouldn't have even bought it up in hindsight.
