people who can't take the heat shouldn't visit it, that's all, there's plenty of other subforums
re. personal attacks, lack of SD wouldn't make a difference, BB threads can get very personal and vicious too, but you'd not even think of getting rid of those
What's scary about agreeing with me?

I find that offensive. Which going by today's laws, makes your post a hate crime. You can go to prison for a hate crime.

I agree with this for the most part.

I do think that people have got carried away on Politics lately, not just on TIBB but everywhere that I'm going it's all hell breaking loose to do with how the country is being run, I don't know if it's just the circles that I'm mixing in but it's definitely making people divided.

Replace her with a Ru Paul’s Drag Race subforum instead! Let’s argue about lip syncs not brexit!

I suppose the title alone suggests it should be spent solely for debating so it's inevitably going to end up looking heated and exhausting, so I would just condense it into the General Chat bit just to save the hassle (if there's a change at all, which I'm not fussy about)

No, I think some just need to take a tech break more often if a forum has that much influence over their day to day emotional well-being... there is more to the life than what happens behind a computer screen. Balance is all that is needed.

Axe ha! It just brings negativity to this forum and only certain members actually use it, and those have a tendency to end up banned/permabanned (no offence)...

Yeah, maybe if the word "debates" was taken out discussions would start off less fraught?

Maybe "Serious News" or "News Chat" or "Good Morning TiBB with Dezzy and Rob".

I just don't understand how passionate people get about it, like as if posting an opinion on a BB forum that about 20 people will see is so meaningful

No.
People just need to chill a bit, debate instead of deBAIT.
We all have our own opinions, they don’t all have to be the same, agree to disagree, we are all adults.

I turned Serious Debates off, I'm now enjoying the forums much much more.

political discussions tend to get heated, see tv or parliament
like it or not, people need to have somewhere to discuss such topics
especially now when we all can live in a bubble and surround ourselves only with people we agree with
it's uncomfortable but it's good to be exposed to opposing views and practice debating such views effectively, it forces us to back up views with evidence
