.....two dimensional debate?
There are so many interesting views shared here. Loads of mis-understanding of positions.
A lack of instant response and chance to really put across a point.
Also a lack of learning opportunities.
How do you solve it?
Maybe a fans Forum based on politics. We could meet quarterly, room above a pub, share ideas, thoughts, and love.
I'd love that. There are lots of people here whom I'd love to debate and learn from. |  |

The biggest issue with that is we are all located in different areas and come on here at different times, often when doing other things. I like the idea and, if people can make it why not? If it helps people see the other side of an argument great. However, I think Phil or Gav may need to be present as bouncers for when it turns physical! (Isn't it strange how generally people are more confrontational over the net than we are in person?) |  |

Yes, probably. Well, actually the first step is to acknowledge ,as you do here, that people can have legitimately opposing views. Once people start accepting complexity then the differences perhaps lesson.
I still maintain that one of the great things about this board is that it isn't an echo chamber, that the political debates do reflect a multitude of views (ok, some of it is people just repeating the same bloody points over and over again but you know what i mean) and that sometimes that's enough to get people thinking differently. |  |

I quite like the fact that you can have a debate over several hours on here (can't always wait for a response, or not got time to compose my own).
As Steve says - and I have before - the variety of opinions, experiences and knowlege on TWTD is great. Something you get hardly anywhere else. Certainly not most newspaper sites.
Tho I'm always happy to meet TWTDers in real life, too. [Post edited 3 Nov 2019 18:31]
