Getting more than a little fed up with the recent fractiousness on here. There seem to be two groups of posters some of whom's main interest in being on here is to have pops at the other. That then leads to someone reporting a post, PMing or emailing me about the other.
Not really sure what to do about it, does seem some posters have unhealthy obsession with others, which is causing the rest of us, especially me a problem. I could ban all those involved on both sides en masse, who I'm sure most other posters could name, but that seems a little draconian and no doubt none of them would feel they had any blame.
Any thoughts? A number of those regularly involved with up arrow this post and tell me I'm right to call this out, as happens every time I make a similar request for the bickering to stop.
This site is always going to be a broad church of people from different backgrounds, ages, genders and views, so not everyone is going to agree with everyone or see everything posted as in the same way and I think there needs to be a bit more tolerance.
But more than anything far less winding up and chipping away at other users, deliberate attempts at subverting other people's threads etc.

Difference between Phil and you:-
You: "not even .. ban the worst offender from each "side", but just one at random".
Phil: "everyone from each group that are making his life difficult
The difference is that your method would be indiscriminate & unfair; whereas Phil's is even-handed & justifiably targets only those who are making his life difficult. [Post edited 2 Jun 2024 14:55]

Just wow...literally ended my last post saying I wasn't going to get drawn into an argument about that previous post, and you followed up.
Some people just can't help themselves...enjoy the rest of your Sunday. |  |

Ha!
Not getting drawn into an argument doesn't mean you can post whatever you like and no-one's allowed to respond to it!
I happen to agree with Ryorry. Also, how does Phil decide who's in which group (as if he's got the time or desire to draw up lists)? I mean, some might be obvious but I'd like some consultation before I'm given a label.
Maybe we should all wear jackets with our chosen group emblazoned across the back. |  |

Heavens man, lighten up - you said “I'm surprised the idea of banning one random member from each group was considered so harsh” - so I explained why I’d reacted as I had, that’s all.
Maybe this is one example of how/why disagreements sometimes spiral - sheer misunderstanding, “internet comms”!  |  |
