You can’t ever have an open and free political debate section with the threat of a ban hammer over you for expressing your opinions.Truth was very anti feminist which it seems is not an accepted view to take in here.Pro feminism posts only.
I might not have agreed with everything he said but I don’t have to.Nobody has to.Just tell him where he’s wrong.Suppressing opinions doesn’t lead to debates,It just makes people afraid to air their real views.Honestly you may aswell close down SD like Dezzy wants or rename it as eventually it’ll just become a load of people agreeing with each other when it comes to emotive issues.

Take care everyone and all the best to you all.

bye!

Erm he wasn't anti-feminist he was completely anti-woman.

I can't believe how simple things are so difficult to understand.

He wasn't banned for having different opinions but completely ignoring any facts just to call others vile and spout his disgusting hatred of women.

How does one miss that?

What I do not like is the persistant trolling that seems to go on.

I have argued against having SD just taken away as I do remember a time when it was decent and have been attempting to get it back that way too. But it will take time. Hopefully not much time, but some time.

I am actuallty considering floating the idea of a minimum word count, for posts in this section, to make people actually put thought into their posts, and have less one liner baiting or sniping posts. I also would like (personally) a seperate politics forum.
When I joined a couple of years ago, I joined to chat about a series of BB but wandered in here. Back then it was full of people sensibly discussing all sorts. Yes, it got heated but then all good debates do, that's what keeps them energized. Its probably in the last year that its gone downhill with too many one-liners just baiting a reaction and too many trivial topics that aren't worth joining.

I think a political forum is a great idea. Hopefully, it would pull in new members and liven the place up again.

Some views are best challenged than ignored. IMO.

I would use ignore for someone who was just annoying me. I would not just ignore someone who was repeatedly offensive.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good (wo)men to do nothing.

The Serious Debates forum is not going to be deleted. There's not going to be a 'purge'.
