It's got to be we can't post a view for fear of being hammered or jumped on for a pc or phobic reason. Maybe if a bit of latitude was applied the posters would come back. To test my theory try posting a thread against Lauren and see what happens.

I don't know - I actually think the moderation was a but lacking and people were saying some really vicious and distasteful things during the civi series. I personally believe in free speech and the right to state your opinion whatever it is - but that can be done without spewing bile and hatred all over every thread. It was like a mindless bloodthirsty mob half the time, just being hateful for the sake of it, and that's really offputting for anyone who actually wants a reasonable discussion on a forum. It really put me off the forum - not enough to leave, but that's probably only because I'm not currently active on any other forums and I've been a "forum user" for over 15 years.

Wouldn't know what to do in my lunch break if I didn't have a forum to browse
