The name of the forum (Pub Thread) is a bit of a clue....I've seen no conversation here that hasn't taken place in my local, and the joy of having a mixed membership is that theres always someone to jump in and tear a strip off anyone they think has overstepped the mark....its happens on every "controversial" thread, and in my view, is an excellent opportunity for some sort of 'education'.

I've said it before, but even people who you may think have expressed extreme views have always had some personal experience that colours their judgement. I mean I've had first hand knowledge of reverse racism of a sort that would have me shooting in the streets if it was me it was happening to, but it was outside my geography so I could afford to ignore it eventually, so people shouldn't be so quick to judge...but by all means argue your point.

Suppressing debate of the sort we've seen is invariably a bad idea whatever you think, and I'm sure most people would agree, including all of those engaged in it.

And if Bat wants to break peoples contract thats fine, its his website.

I would suggest paul is bang on with the clues in the name. If all we talked about was trucks jeeezzzzz this would be a dull site.

However there is a fine line and i think the mods on here tread it very well (and im no yes man)

Youve got to judge the drift of a topic or the lead by "would any reasonable person be offended or upset by this" The mods are the "reasonable person" if they say yes then the answer is yes.

Thats the structure of society be it a forum or a nation.

Im thick skinned so not bothered but tbh but there have been posts and individuals comments which would have been well justified receiving complaints, and many of them would have been worthy of further action.

Ive no desire to be a mod but if i was theres one or two threads that would have been history by my button for the wellbeing of the site on the whole.

Not my opinion, fact based on the law which could get you anything from words of advice to a stretch.

Even worse a civil complaint or action could get the site closed down. Unlikely but far from impossible.

Think about it.

Now remeber people... DON'T GO OFF TOPIC, the forum obviously wants to move backwards & be over & heavily moderated again

elected mods?

I hope you've got 'Safe Search' off?
