No I didn’t I had just logged on yesterday and was surprised there were no political threads on the first page,that is a rare occurrence these days on here. I never started arguing with anybody,I really can’t be arsed with arguing. Thank you. Have a good day. [Post edited 8 Jun 8:17]

Its funny, all I saw was a statement saying how nice it was to see no political posts. Which I 100% agree with. Oh and a comment about his butt's. Thats it. |  | |  |

How can you claim to know what his motives were? People are allowed to make observations. You've certainly been the problem on this thread, I'm not sure why you wind yourself up like this! |  |

I don't reply to Benters opening post even though I think it's pretty clear who he posted it. How's is pointing out Belstead hypocrisy a problem? He's come back to the forum telling people what the posting rules should be, what the forum structure should be and laying into people in lots of threads. He literally took a pop at other posters in his post as others have pointed out. If you're all good with that then good stuff, from various threads it seems that many aren't.

I fail to see how Stokers is the problem in this thread. |  |

I'm just miffed that Benters didn't realise that my post about ageing teachers toppling players in Mexico City was political...although, in fairness, the BBC link went to quite a balanced minute of video and wasn't that provocative. |  |

I find Benters to be one of the most political posters on here, albeit that may well be without realising it himself a lot of the time. |  |

I dont, I find him much more like me. Desperately trying to point out (and usually failing) thats theres two sides to an argument. Something, which is often a waste of time on here. |  | |  |

Whilst there may be two sides to an argument, the implication that they are equivalent is at the core of everything that's wrong with debate nowadays. "Stop the boats" "Crossings are down 40%, see this report" "I don't believe it" Clearly those two sides aren't equivalent and the attempts to push them as equivalent is the real issue. That kind of debate is played out endless times with people who don't have any evidence to support their view then claim equivalence. The false equivalence fallacy is one of the main reasons we are where we are as societies nowadays. SB |  |

I’m sorry, but in what way does pointing out a thread without politics as refreshing causing an argument? I don’t see any harm or controversial in taking an OP at face value. |  | |  |

Actually I believe there are always two sides to every argument. One may be plain wrong, the other right. One maybe wrong in one’s own opinion but right in others. Both sides might be subjective views both actually wrong or even right. Confused? I am. Basically the whole point of debate is that others may not hold the same view as oneself and they might just be right - or wrong. Assumptions are dangerous in my view and so is certainty. I’ve met and heard many people who are fixed and certain in their views and invariably they are narrow and often wrong. |  | |  |
