We've created a new politics section. Please post politics threads there. Mods will move the threads to the right place

That way if you're interested in political stuff, it's easy to find it. And if you're not, it's easy to ignore it

They might have been easy to avoid but the sheer volume of them was overwhelming making if hard for those not wanting political debate to find threads they were interested in. This has been a long time coming I think and thank admin for sorting it out.

Have to say, I disagree.

The lounge is a much nicer place now every other thread isn't descending into arguments. Although I'm a political animal, I stay away from the politics forum and enjoy the fab forums experience far more for it. The one or two political threads that still slip the net are illustrative of the nastiness and black/white thinking that comes with the territory.

there's an element of nastiness and ganging up on differing opinions post the referendum and some of the name calling admittedly by only a couple of posters is rather tawdry..

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I miss having a broad range of views on political subjects as the politics forum seems to be populated by the same handful people (maybe 2 handfuls on a good day).

As long as contributors continue to argue the same things, ad nauseam (regardless of the actual topic), it will remain nasty and, worse than that, boring.

For that reason I think it should remain segregated from polite ( ) society.

"I miss the lounge not having a broader section of topics, as some subjects have politics within them but aren't 100% politics. "

I agree we miss the more socio-political threads, such as "Should all women be chained to the sink", "Can Ukippers really be racist if they have a dark tan", "Should a woman wearing trousers be allowed to use the Gents" and "Is it okay to rape someone so long as you're a footballer"

The closest we get now is "If a couple/woman doesn't agree to duck me at least once a month, should they be thrown off the site as fakes?"

I think things had reached a bit of a tipping point with the EU referendum and I can understand why it's all been hived off, but the Lounge was better when there was more variety and the political threads were better when they had more posters than the same 5 people arguing with each other. Both are poorer for it, IMO.

The word "idiot" comes from the Greek "idiotes" and means a 'person who takes no interest in public affairs, lit. a 'private person'.

You assume the regular posters would want to come back. It's way better 'down there' now. You don't get (so many) of the loonies filling up the threads with one line posts like "bollucks" or some variation of a white knight routine.

I don't even find anything interesting or of much substance in the lounge these days, I don't like small talk and love to hear different views on things.

I disagree that they are harsh - I first discovered internet forums back when I was in my late teens, and the first forum I participated in was a political one. The guy who ran them didn't believe in censorship, so unless you made an actual threat against a poster, anything went. It was a total bear-pit and there were some incredibly intelligent posters on there (and there still are, I believe).

The politics forum here has just become inane. The same people repeating the same viewpoint over and over in ever more hysterical tones. It's dull, there's no proper debate really.

The lounge is worse off for not having it Imo but recognise that others say it can be harsh. That may be due to its isolation

I disagree that they are harsh - I first discovered internet forums back when I was in my late teens, and the first forum I participated in was a political one. The guy who ran them didn't believe in censorship, so unless you made an actual threat against a poster, anything went. It was a total bear-pit and there were some incredibly intelligent posters on there (and there still are, I believe).

The politics forum here has just become inane. The same people repeating the same viewpoint over and over in ever more hysterical tones. It's dull, there's no proper debate really.

Hence why I created a dastardly plan to move the debate forward...

Glastonbury

The last place I inhabited was topsy-turvy. It was inhabited by left-wingers who hunted in packs.

I coxed the right-wingers out of their hiding places and started a thread to celebrate their right to be right and how tediously right-on the left-wingers were.

It went well.

Right up to the end where I posted:

"It's nice to see the right-wingers getting a little class consciousness."

I posted it straight in the politics forum in case they were missing those sort of threads

It's an experiment to see if it's possible to get a light-hearted thread bumped out of there into the lounge

I think things had reached a bit of a tipping point with the EU referendum and I can understand why it's all been hived off, but the Lounge was better when there was more variety and the political threads were better when they had more posters than the same 5 people arguing with each other. Both are poorer for it, IMO."

The EU referendum perhaps came a little too hot on the heels of the last general election, I don't know. But inappropriate ill-will targeted at some people has no place here in Fab - whichever forum part it's in.

I really prefer an open topic lounge, covering more than swinging bits and bobs.
