Interesting..not sure why it would be any more contentious than some other stuff
Was it a what tyre thread?
It affects the bottom line.
I find using saddle avoids that
Unfortunately the said topic turns into an almost anti Semitic hate thread, even though this will be venomously denied,to some this is how it appears.
It's a pity as there are some informed viewpoints on here that are worth listening to. In the end it was always going to end up locked though but I do miss the first few pages of real info
I maintain he should have bought the Merc.
Good to know...should be added to the forum rules
yes, though I thought the OP didn't cover himself with glory with his opener.
Anyways, the definitive thread on the subject lies here.
Sub 3 second 0-60 family car recommendation to get me to the trail centre over a national border during a lockdown before anyone on an acoustic bike can get there, so they don't slow me down on my Strava KOM attempt on the family blue trail? Knew I shouldn't have asked (:
I will never accept a casserole with a pastry hat as a pie.
There's a fair few topics you can't discuss on here, not wanting a vaccination or being anti lockdown are tantamount to being a racist or pedophile
Thread closed or not, I still want to know why a gravel bike isn't just a 90's mountain bike with drop bars...
Blimey! Not a 'What ad blockers?" thread?

Because it's a 1980s touring bike, but with proper tyre clearance and gears that mean you don't have to get off and push? Oh, and proper brakes. Ok, nothing like a 1980s touring bike then.
No, you can ask about it. But to save the bandwidth they normally come with a crown race.

😆 Doesn't really help if you jump straight in on the propaganda offensive...
I'd imagine it's not so much a "you can't talk about X", it's probably more a case of the Mods are part-timers, and don't want to have to monitor a thread Tonight because they all have things they need to do. So the easiest way to deal with it, is just shut it down, until it can be moderated properly.
Probably. (I'm just guessing though)

I have no idea what thread it was but I'm now suffering from the worst case of FOMO ever!
It's a shame cos the thread may well have found a resolution to the Middle East conflict.

A quick look on the net'n'yahoo will give you the answer...
The blame always lies with Louise (ex Judean People's Front)

Which is fair enough
Plus that thread was never going to end well, it was just a matter of how many minutes till it collapsed into everyone calling everyone else Hitler etc. Been done soo many times, very little new to add to it.
Can't get the staff these days.

That deserved more love than it got. 👏

Tbf isn't that the lifecycle of almost every thread on here..just some take longer than others
Having spent the last war in Gaza in 2014, and having lived in Jerusalem for several years, I can't help but agree with the moderators.

Well at least I know what it was about now.
Me too.

Fixed it.....🙃
My "Why retain the unicorn?" parody thread can't be discussed because it only exists at the end of the rainbow.
Mr Nutt - gone but not forgotten. Such a great thread for lots and lots of reasons.

Ah, that is so beautiful. A quality piece of work
That is a cracking thread...reminds me of a thread on another forum I used to inhabit many years ago, where someone asked which swimmer people preferred...Mark Spitz or Jody Swallow 😁
I blame 40yrs of neoliberalism
Sublime in its beauty. Only way it could’ve been improved is if someone had dropped the Net’n’Yahoo quip in there unnoticed!
Btw I’m having “venomously denied” 😂

Jeezus reading through some of that was nostalgic. Yes MrNutt is sorely missed, made me laugh so often, as too konabunny. And sadly jahwomble, who had such a brilliant if troubled mind.

Much respect for that.
Punning skills only honed after years of practice embarrassing my children on a near daily basis.
It's because there's a government out there whose actions you're not allowed to criticise or you'll be labeled antisemitic.
Killing children is "self defence" and you're not allowed to say otherwise or YOU are the problem.
Don't worry though, the UK provides the weapons, at a profit, to kill the kids. Win win.

And THAT, kids, is why threads get closed. Jesus...
