Off Topic Proposed temporary suspension of political threads

It's all about the balance for good debate

 

I've voted bad idea, not just because of the politics threads but there are loads of non-football threads I enjoy.

 

I don't mind the politics threads. Most of the time it's interesting, especially from the posters who write constructive posts. Even when I might not agree with them, it's interesting seeing their thoughts and viewpoints and it helps me understand things better.

There's other threads on here that I don't bother with. Darts and Wordle keep popping up and I don't bother opening those as I'm not interested in Darts or Wordle. If I started a thread asking for Darts and Wordle threads to be banned, all the Darts and Wordle fans would tell me to **** off (and rightly so!)

If you don't like politics, it's easy just to ignore the threads and not read them.

 

I just block the plonkers

Nothing wrong with different topics, even if it is not about football.

I really enjoy the 'funnies' for instance. Although I do notice that all some posters put up is political jokes about politicians they hate.

 

I’ve noticed that, but I don’t think we can ban him

 

Avoid them like the plague nowadays. They're just exactly like anywhere else on the internet. A place for trolls to dry hump each other into friction burn and oblivion.

 

Free speech though

 

The older I get the more I start to think Plato and Aristotle had a point.

People are too stupid for free speech and they're too easily led for democracy to work.

 

My post was in jest though marra
