It's clear that devolvement doesn't work, a country within a union has to be wholly in or wholly out. It's clear in Scotland with the Brexit difference. It's clear in N.I. with both the abortion differences and the e-bike law shambles. It's clear in relation to the EU where our wanting to be...

I hit the last items at first, but I've already adapted to hit the shortest item in the list. .

I can't sidestep a problem that doesn't exist for me! :D Of course decency and respect towards fellow members is important, which is why that is what I've always practiced, and part of that decency and respect is not to try to censor what they are able to say or see. As for your "certain...

Thanks Helen. .

"did it hurt your feelings bless" This above was offensive since it was entirely unnecessary, as was this whole sequence of your posting on this subject. There must be something seriously wrong if you are unable to ignore a forum you don't like. Tell me something. Are you satisfied by the...

A query Helen. If I choose to ignore The Charging Post by clicking Forum List so it's no longer listed, how could I unignore when I can't access it to see the unignore link? .

It's only stupid to those who can't see that others have different views on the subjects to ban, as HelenJ has commented before. It's precisely the suppression of discussion and criticism of religion that's enabled its evils that you refer to. Free discussion of every subject is essential for...

Thanks. How about we ban your offensive posts? .

That's the problem in a nutshell, as I've already commented elswhere. Where does it stop? First the Charging Post has to go since it's not about e-biking. Then others want the High Speed forum removed since they aren't legal in the UK and this is a UK site. Then all posts in other forums...

I disagree. Banning personal views! We wouldn't even be able to advise someone on a e-bike to buy! o_O Your dislike of the Brexit thread, like that of some others, seems to be centred on the political views of two members in particular. Simple answer: Hover over your forum name in the top...

I doubt there'd be 100 members to do that, it's only a tiny coterie who are complaining about the Brexit thread, maybe a dozen in all. Most members sensibly ignore threads they don't like, just like I do. .

Does it still have the rear number plate mount on it? .

It's not uncommon for specialist sites to have a forum for subjects unconnected with the specialism. The computer site I advised on for years which was a huge site compared to this had such a forum that was used for all manner of dissociated things. I even published a short story in there...

Nothing can be inferred from such absences. For example there have been ten members with Peter as their primary name part but none of them post now, most departing long before brexit. At least 90% of the members from the last twelve years of this forum no longer enter or very rarely do. In...

As democracy it's unlikely to happen, web sites are dictatorships. .

You and Zlatan are the ones digging dirt. As on occasions in an N.I. thread elsewhere, I responded to an inquiry from you, this time for an explanation of a detail in my post. I promptly responded to that request in an entirely polite explanatory way. My thanks was to come under attack from...

I wouldn't object to a poll, why do you think I would? I'm all in favour of democracy, even in this country where intolerance too often rules. A poll would undoubtedly shut down that thread. Again you are being unfair, it's not within my power to control what others post so I'm not allowing...

The cricket of course! Please read the sentence, it referred to the current disappointments in football and cricket. Someone disappointed with the footballl result is one, someone with the cricket result is two. So even if only two in total were disappointed, it's still disappointments, plural. .

Two things. Firstly as previously posted I'm not admin and it's not for me to police the site. I have however alerted admin from time to time about very inappropriate posts, and that is as far as an ordinary member should go. Secondly I'm aware of how much criticism inflames situations and can...

It was in context, see my reply to Tommie on this link. It wasn't referencing those not disappointed. .
