If the issue is simply to prevent non-members from seeing the arguing about politics and religion it's easy enough to just make "the snug" visible to members only. Those of us who don't like to see it can just do what I do which is never go there.

It's not an answer though, I don't particularly like having to self censor, only long term solution is to put a stop to it.

I've done the same over recent days and not gone there. So that's choice.

I think the problem goes back to my initial point of good social skills.

I know when to keep my gob shut and what can potentially cause upset or grief. Maybe it's the job I work in when I have to sit tests every 3 months on diversity etc !

Hell we can't even have these conversations at our dinner table, never mind with hundreds of other forum members. I am all for informed debate, I am all for freedom of opinion, but it has to stay as opinion, and just like a certain part of our anatomy, everyone has one.
 
M..****? I was on about that aquatic,blue footed ,sea bird much revered on David Attenborough documentaries and the like.

However, had all ALL things that have been posted recently been reasonably civilised, inoffensive to most folks, not xenophopic, not abusive, to note a few criticisms, but just part of a cut and thrust debate allowing us all the 'the mental exercise of an argument' there would have been no need for this thread.
But sadly there were some that did, hence the reason for my post.

You appear to taken the job of self appointed judge, jury and moderator.
What may be offensive to you is not necessarily offensive to others.
Also nobody was abusing any other individual, so how did you come to that critism?

6. Dickcissel
5. Great Tit
4. Barn Swallow

But I will tone things down because I do not want to make things uncomfortable for the real moderators.

And I was talking about the small garden bird recognisable by it's blue and yellow plumage. Whatever did you think I was talking about?
