Steve. Any chance of pointing us at the posts you feel have made it a downer for you. Is it the opinions expressed in the Lewis Hamilton thread for example?
I thought the intro of the soapbox thread was a good move. If you have to get something off your chest then pop it in there. Anything in there is at owners risk.
I sort of agree that there is more social and robust negative comment appearing but it only becomes personal on occasion which is where I draw the line. The climate change thread has become slightly too robust but in context I am learning more than I do from the press and gogglebox.
The issue with the Interweb can be variations of language, education and background resulting in some statements being read in a different manner. You mean "A" and I read "B". I know I often do posts in a hurry to divert myself from work and clear my mind for a bit. Style of discussion is different and can come over as confrontational when written.
Perhaps we all need to begin to coach people ? If you think something has gone OTT then tell them and ask them/mods to move it to soapbox.
I believe it happened just after the fish jokes stopped, I blame the fish.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
