General Chat

it all comes down to one word, choice! if you dont like something then dont read it or join in with it. the beauty of this board is that we all are different ages, social groups and backgrounds. thats what makes it so good! one thing i learned at the meet up in london is that when we all get together, we get on fabulously. blimey if we all liked and agreed with exactly the same things this would be one hell of a boring board! just my opinion, if you dont like it then dont take it in, see, easy isnt it!!

I for one would certainly like to see more serious type discussions rather than some of the nonsense I have seen lately, rather than putting up a thread just for the sake of it. I think the Christmas (or xmas) spirit has hit some people a bit early!! Martin

So true. We ought to be able to have robust discussions, just so long as things don't get personal like they so often do. Freedom of speach! Gerry

sorry but i disagree with everything said. ever! i want a row and i want one now! ha ha!

I try never to get involved but a lively debate and exchange of views is one thing, however I don't like the use of bad language starred or not. Linda x

Grampa Jim, You have hit the nail on the head this board has changed dramatically in the last 12 months we used to have some really good discussions once, ok so one or two got a bit heated but there were no snidey remarks or anything nasty aimed at other peoples opinions we seemed to agree to disagree that was the end of the matter,now i find we have spite,nastiness,abuse, and even abusive words starred in places is there any need for it? you can to town and hear that why put it on here believe me i am no prude. As for prisoners, having been connected with the Prison service for 30 years and worked in a prison you people out there don't know the half. Lets all get back to a happy board. Chrissy

i agree jim .we are adults and can sort this out if we fall out.i pay my membership to talk about topics and having a laugh and a giggle not to be faced by constant bickeringxxxx):

I'm with you Grampa..... life is too short to moan... it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown!!

Jim, You are right, after all if we dont like a TV programme, we turn it off. June

Hi Grampa Jim GC PtfG, totally agree, i dont reply to many threads as i tend to stay in the background, unless its a good joke etc,LOL. But i do agree, if you dont like what you have started to read, click off that thread. I dont think there is a need to complain, there is stuff i dont agree with or comments i do not like, but thats my own opinion i just dont carry on reading. Must admit, tend not to come on the record board much, as everytime i click on the post its been removed etc,LOL.

It really is unfortunate that we no longer seem to be able to have a discussion here without someone getting the hump and crying to GR. I generally look at all the threads, and if I don't like the content I don't look at that one again. This is the age of the Thought Police apparently. Jim
