Discussions about current affairs which affect all of our lives are on the lips of most people these days and seeing those topics appear on here is no surprise and realistically the topics are expected.
As long as the topics or posts are legal and don't threaten the forum or it's members then they are legitimate. The normal response to your request Mr Imp is if you don't want to read or discuss certain topics then you are free to ignore them.
you are also free to find another forum more suitable to your personal tastes and beliefs.
Ever since it's inception this forum has included political comment, debate or argument. It's not new and I suspect there is a bit of embarrassment around when people who put their faith in Starmer and his Government realise they are getting change but not exactly the change they expected.
I don't want to see or encourage different departments to appear simply because individuals or indeed groups dislike what they are reading.
Whilst I respect your request and your right to express it, I feel it is not in the best interests of the forum to follow your suggestion. That is my judgement as moderator but you are free to approach the owner as always.[/quote]

Well thanks for responding. You're off the mark with me and Starmer. I'm like Snowy, it doesn't matter what colour the rosette on the chest. Go for who you think is least shit. I do advocate ignoring what you don't want to read. Unfortunately there are many in here who seem incapable, perhaps it's a more complex filtering skill than I imagined. I thought perhaps compartmentalising subjects might help. It works for many many others. The willingness to have quite extreme views expressed openly alongside quite innocent Pools related matters that outsiders can, will and do freely access is weird. You won't find it elsewhere, probably for good reason. Of course the old dinosaurs are going to reject change. Its in their nature and it is they who are doing the windbagging. But you're right, I AM free to find a forum elsewhere or even not at all. I would suggest that as it's the same old buggers (said not in a particularly unfriendly way) doing the same old gum bumping that many are choosing the latter.[/quote]


May be thats why the Bunker is unique [/quote]

Uniquely what though?[/quote]
Uniquely open to opinions, even the ones you don’t agree with.
Everyone is allowed an opinion, there is no fixed set of beliefs, people differ, cope with it, no one has the monopoly on setting moral values or standards, it’s just life as it’s lived.[/quote]

You need to realise that Snowy.

Exactly. People flapping about not being able to give their two pennies worth when nobody is calling for that. Its like that bloke off Harry Enfield. Oiiii! Kylie NOO!!

I would go on but Enfield probably invented a character for all of us

You’re like my auntie Edith’s Yorkshire terrier..,a yappy little dog who had a fit every time another dog even gave it a dirty look in return
Conclusion…don’t yap.

Your like your dogs you won’t let go and admit you are wrong Snowy.

Spot on PTID!

You never heard of psychological bullying? In a way I'm glad, you've never had to put up with it. Or your kids. Or anyone you care about.

.

Not when I’m right, no I don’t ….also unlike them…., I have no chance chasing after a fox/rat, I don’t shit in the garden and have not been neutered…yet …but apart from that we get on.

If the Bunker offends and is to much best to stay away.

Or just read not reply.

To much wordtwistery.

We all at some stage agree/like - - - - disagree /dislike others opinions.

Thats just the way it is.

Life goes on.

Snowy was in fact Tintin’s dog.

I don't know who you are replying to KPG. It didn't sound like it's me based on what I've been saying in here anyway.

Nobody is flapping and if anybody wishes to categorise topics etc it is very easy to do. You do it in your own head. You censure the topics/posts you want to read or take part in and act accordingly. Why do you need the moderators to do it for you?????
You are the one wanting to change things, Mr Imp. The answer is no, accept it and we move on. If you can't accept that decision or can't categorise within your own head, then the problem lies with you and not with moderators.
