but then it would be carnage.  It's good for people to offer their opinion where they feel it will add something to a debate. What's the point otherwise? A lot of people just want an easy life too. I've held back from commenting on a number of threads recently because I know what the reaction will be and it's not worth it. Sometimes it's better to just pick your battles rather than piling in on any thread where there's a disagreement.

yep

there are probably about another 20 threads like that evenly distributed throughout the past few years.

i'm sure it's just said for effect sometimes.

Yeah but when you get the same 5 people on each side expressing their opinion it doesn't seem to do much good.

Groan.......

1) The Thread, on the whole, is fine by me. There is only one Post on it which is bang out of order, & I'll be contacting that individual very shortly. Tea & biccies won't be appropriate. The banter is absolutely fine, AFAIC.

2) I was rushing out of the house when I made the comment/suggestion/request "Mods, feel free to Edit if you feel fit". That was, perhaps, a mistake. Either way, Ginger was just doing as she was asked, so get on my case, not hers.

3) The Thread has crossed over into "Standards", & I'd ask you - suggest to you, strongly - to keep your powder dry for a day or two. I'll be starting that open discussion shortly (probably Thursday now, I'm busy tonight & tomorrow), & you'd be well-advised to save your arguments about "standards" until then. As we remove most of the stuff that's really bad (in our view), you cannot possibly know how bad some of the Posts have been. But here's a taster, something for you to chew over until I put the Thread up. It's from a regular Poster, in the last few weeks

min raising mother fucking twats deserve to been shot in the balls and smashed wiv a baseball bat imo. i fucking hate retards

If you really think were gonna allow that sort of stuff, (& there's plenty more of that) think again.

Have a nice day. If you don't hear from me in 10 minutes, your Post was fine.

min raising is rubbish though

Ahh right, in that case if tighty says it was a female member that leaves claw, suzanne, laxie or kinboshi....

Nah that particular quote wasn't me, although I am one of those that has discussed with Rich the change in tone on the forum over the last few months.

I dont recall actually using those words but I too have mentioned to Rich that i dont feel that the forum is the friendly place it once was.

I have noticed that a lot of people who once posted dont do so now although I still see them logged in and I include myself as one of them.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a thread asking if anyone wanted to play a "$5 extended" which back in the days when blonde first opened its cardroom was very popular and was a fun game to play, I posted this because I had noticed that there were a few of the guys logged in who used to play it and thought they might want to have a bit of banter.

The following morning I received a PM saying that the thread had been removed as there had been some general mickey taking, nothing malicious I was told as I hadnt actually seen the replies but obviously bad enough that it was thought best to delete the thread.

Its things like that which makes me think twice about posting at all.

I'd have played if I'd seen it Suz - they used to be good fun.

Exactly!! Which is why I thought it strange that the thread had to be deleted.

Sorry Tikay didnt read your post before clicking send.

lol, i dont think you can blame it being deleted for the reason why no one played, it was 5am when i posted on it and there was only a couple of us on the whole forum so you must have known no one responded by then and gone to bed.

I find it difficult to accept criticism of fellow members that their tone and consequently the tone of the forum is declining when Flushy one of the sites owners has the worst tone of all. Pls load up any PHA thread and see who is responsible for discouraging contribution. The tone has declined since he bought in? and business is falling since he bought in? Surprise that.

cue the Flushy fanboys.....
