I know it's a major issue... 20:13 - May 26 with 6914 views | PhilTWTD | ...but really feel the constant debates on Gaza/Israel and the ill feeling and unpleasantness that comes with them is detracting from the site at the moment. Perhaps if people want detailed debates on the subject they can take part in them elsewhere. As someone said in the thread I've just removed, I don't really need to be refereeing the discussions 24 hours a day or during Bank Holidays. |  | | |  |

Probably have to ban the subject, if.... on 20:27 - May 26 with 5319 views | Bloots | ...people can't discuss it without constantly trying to post "gotcha moments" to get one over on other posters. They aren't even debating the subject anymore, it's just personal attacks designed entirely to wind people up. Bunch of immature kids really. [Post edited 26 May 2024 20:33]

Cheers. Tom Cruise is the star in the car tonight and James May is driving the new Volvo. I know Phil will enjoy that. |  |

I know it's a major issue... on 20:43 - May 26 with 5159 views | Cafe_Newman | @Glasgowblue - I just lost a 30-minute response to your question. @Phil For the smooth running of your board and for your own health, please ban all threads about Israel, Zionists, Jews, Arabs, Palestinians, the holocaust, the Naqba, Iran, Hamas, Hizbollah, the MEK, IDF, Bibi Netanyahu and anti-semitism. Ban ALL of it. As you say, if people want to give their sincere views on these topics, there are other fora online to do it. |  | |  |

The problem is that very often it's the people who start the threads that are the ones who call for people's replies to be pulled. |  | |  |

Or, indeed, others who only want to snipe and stir and add nothing of substance to the debate. Which is unsurprising as it's likely beyond their abilities. |  |

Your return after a 12 + -month ban for very bad behaviours is to stir and pick up old battles. Would you consider a different approach as otherwise your days are few.. Posted with best regards. But please play nice |  | |  |

Lol, abuse reported. Some very moist undergarments once again in need of a good swill out this evening. |  |

Funny enough I knew Big Al and his boys and I believe he would consider you unworthy to carry his name. misappropriation to the max? |  | |  |
I know it's a major issue... on 21:58 - May 26 with 4552 views | DJR | I would just point out that the main thread on Gaza, on which I tend to post a lot, has been fairly good natured in recent months. Let's hope it keeps that way. For my own part, I think it is perfectly possible to post things on even controversial issues without being provocative or offensive. [Post edited 26 May 2024 22:01]

I know it's a major issue... on 05:31 - May 27 with 3810 views | Ryorry | Valiant efforts to stick to just the one thread were pretty successful I thought; shame to see the dilution with so many others, as I think that both clogs up the board and makes it difficult to keep track. If the long thread does keep going, one change I’d like to see is for a warning when very graphic descriptions are about to be made. Youngsters, people suffering from PTSD or similar, or just anyone who finds those kind of details hard to take, should have the choice to be able to avoid them. |  |

And/or we’ve two splits, both pretty entrenched. So it’s rarely a debate; just a slagging match. It’s rare you get any impartial insight on one of those threads. I don’t know why so many people get so invested in this. Not just on here, but in the UK in general. With the exception of Russia/Ukraine, you barely hear anything about other conflicts. |  |
