OzPol has been degenerating into lately with its endless tit-for-tat ad hominems and with almost every thread quickly turning into a graffiti wall with tiresome one-liners being batted backwards and forwards over an invisible net.

It's more a chat board or a sand-pit for immature mentalities than anything else, with serious subjects dying an early death because of the Usual Suspects quickly arriving to indulge their favourite sport of trolling and playing 'tag' with those who feel compelled to respond to their petty provocations.

The board 'Rules' are worth jack-shìt so far as helping to reduce this idiocy to a minimum.

Are denizens ignoring Herr Bert's valuable contributions to social discourse in favor of joining more boisterous discussions?

Has cats and critters gone to the dogs?

Yep. That's why I don't bother anymore.

The Return of the Prodigal!

Welcome back to this Public Toilet, Nicole, where there's a lot of graffiti but not much art.

:)


The Board has been all the poorer without you.  :-*

The General board has become polluted with endless racial and Muslim bashing threads. Which Herbert is partially responsible for

I don't know why these cant be moved to "islam" or "multicultural" boards. Other threads get moved so why can't these be moved?

I agree 100%.  Perhaps if more people made their view known, Effendi might act.

I have asked him (in open) and his response was that Gandalf may not like that.

I have a complete answer for that, but there is no point unless Members express the wish that all the Muslim bash Threads be sent to the place where they belong ~ Islam Sub-Forum.

Freeeedom, innit

There is an alternative where none of the childishness you're complaining about is allowed, Herbie.

What a shame your membership doesn't work any more.  If you need your password reset, just tell me.   :)

Brian, the fact that you post here 100 to 1 posts compared to your forum board is clear evidence that 'Debate & Relate' is on Life Support with more protein drips and tubes up its arse than Prince Phillip of UK fame.

tsk    ::)

If they wanted to liven up the board, could we have "f.u.c.k.i.n.g" (in the normal spelling of the word) either changed to "****ing" or just let drop the censoring of that word? I doubt that "smacking" is really an appropriate alternative.

I'm surprised Brian's keyboard does not catch fire, the amount of typing he posts.

Maybe you should read my posts Lord Herbert, you'll find many things of substance.

Why are you here if you have your own 'successful' board, Brian?

Because I am, Soren, because I am.  Would you deny to me some amusement as I watch all of you Islamophobes scurrying 'round like ants?  Tsk, tsk.    ::)

Can you two take your personal animosity towards each other somewhere else? There's plenty of space, I suggest relationships.

i.e. don't continue this in feedback.

Edit: on second thoughts, carry on. I'll do it for you.

This Topic was moved here from Feedback by Setanta.

Oooh shhhhit. There goes my perfect record for going without a "tsk tsk"

I find the hypocrisy from Herb astonishing. He has no problems with 'tit-for-tat ad hominems and with almost every thread quickly turning into a graffiti wall with tiresome one-liners being batted backwards and forwards over an invisible net' when it's coming from him  :D :D
