It’s not always this way. Recent threads like the domestic abuse have shown a great generosity of spirit.
I think the whole country is feeling a bit stressed at the moment…
I dunno, I think it’s been worse lately too – every other thread seems to turn into a ridiculous bitch fest, or at least a boring GCSE-level philosophy/theology debate.
I was thinking how incredibly boring it had become over the last few weeks. Nice to see there are a few people who have something to say and aren’t afraid to say it appearing to liven the place up…
It’s quite uplifting actually, STW is learning to better itself
Are you that naive that you think anyone comes away from those threads having their opinion changed, or having learned something? It’s just a google powered points scoring exercise.
I don’t know if they know that’s what’s happening, but we’re all often being exposed to different arguments, and that can only be a good thing, even if you dismiss them.
oh i suppose that religion one got a bit nasty but (without trying to offend) people have been beating each other up over god(s) long before stw came unto the world
If the banter was too convivial it would lead to a lack of riding/fettling so what would we all have in common apart from the site, in that respect SW is in no danger of eating itself.
