I think the difference here, like Ruth suggested, is the word debate and in most cases people would read what the other debaters have written and then constructively comment. This is how I perceive a debate to be and always has been on the site. I myself find this challenging and simulating. However, over the last few week/month this forum has turned into a warzone with so many Jade/Danielle/Jo thread appearing and even though the threads are about different things all end up talking about the three of them and getting closed. Please do not misunderstand me, I’m not blaming anyone. Everyone has a right to put their opinions down and to have a discussion. What infuriates me is when some people are so deluded that they can never except anyone’s views except their own. No amount of debating and lively discussions can change their views. So what’s the point of trying??? That’s what I have come up with anyway.
One thing is for sure, I am hoping, that things will get back to normal now, expect for the occasional appearance of Hitman
I would like to make one more point, I think in this instance, the Admin/Mods have done a great gob with a certain member who is now banned. It must have taken patience and a lot of counting to 10 to keep going.
Anyways………Roll on BB8
