cyber warriors 

don't you just love them 

at the end of the day, its a open forum so you can put down what you want ( as long as it does'nt break the rule put down by admin 

welcome to free speech 


right, who on here is for reducing petrol down to 10 pence a ltr and making it law to have at least a v8 under your bonnet   

My point of view.
Nick writes alot of things that perhaps don't interest me, perhaps far to clever topics for me, that said I don't think I have ever seen him write or had a complaint about him being offensive. I do however find him amusing when he wants too had me in stitches the other night.
We have had this sort of response before and the outcome seemed to have been "if you don't like a thread, don't carry on reading it"  you yourself Lizzie have being someone who says that sort of thing, you also seem to stir things up as you are quiet opinionated person too.
I aren't out to offend anyone here just giving my view.

Is this an attempt at censorship? An attack on our rights of free speech? and isn't the "General Discussion Area" what it says on the tin? 

I don't think that the forum is broken at all, I enjoy the lively discussion and banter that occurs in the General Discussion Area.  So I'm with Banjax here, although I don't agree with many of his views......

Surely you mean environment cem... 

The forum actually is a good representation of society.

Only one thing and one thing alone binds us. Omega ownership (well in most cases).

as in society you get those that sit back and absorb but never comment, those that don't absorb or read anything at all, those that write or raise the item for discussion, those that flame the item, the pleasant, the indifferent and so on.

The problem - if indeed it is a problem, with politics, the environment to take two examples is that many people feel strongly about them. My opinion of windmills has changed dramatically since OOF has been in existence. Most of that change has been catalised by NB (top marks that man)though living near one and knowing someone employed to maintain them has also helped.

Aren't forums a modern day version of debates that used to happen in a pub before they all closed down or got too expensive for us to go to?

At the end of the day we can choose not to read or participate in a thread.

I am not pointing any fingers at who's fault anything is... It does however take "Balls" to stand up and say your wrong, so fair play there Lizzie

Sometimes perhaps we need to chill, step back then have another look.....
We have some strong characters on here with vast amounts of knowledge, we aint all going to agree all of the time, you ain't all going to be right either... other than me

The lot of ya are knobheads
