In the article I read it says something about the air being like in New-Dehli, which is obviously BS, but still sounds bad. But for all I know it could have changed in the last two years?

Chill with the dramatisation... Del Monte a good bloke who cares about the town, much respect
All I see is civilized debate. I have great respect for Del Monte as a contributor here, I don't agree with him on the separate thread opinion. People need to not get their knickers in a twist because people respectfully disagree. It's healthy discussion... I laughed inside at the threat to leave
You wanna throw your toys out of the pram, that's your choice. I stand firm on my stance that people discussing Enniscorthy's GAA history is relevant to the thread and of interest to some people. Go find a moderator that disagrees. Ps. I don't have an issue with your photos
By that logic, why don't you start a separate thread for your photos? "Enniscorthy" is the thread title... the town's sporting history is relevant and significant, people have the right to discuss it
Personally I enjoyed the GAA discussion. Unimpressed with the behavior of the pseudo mods

As the one who was probably the main contributor to the GAA discussion (which was primarily about the history of the different clubs in the town), here's my input now. The question he asked was could we not start a separate thread for GAA matters. To be honest, I found that a bit rich. As I said at the time, the thread is titled simply "Enniscorthy", and we were simply discussing Enniscorthy-related matters that were of interest to at least some people here. I thought myself at the time that I could ask the same of him: that he start a separate thread for photos taken on walks through the town, for instance. Was debating to myself whether or not to actually say it, when somebody else went ahead and said it anyway. But also as I said at the time, if somebody's not actually interested in a GAA-related discussion (for example), then just ignore it and contribute to the parts of the conversation that you're interested in instead. For instance, a random browse back to page 435 shows discussion last April of people sending the free postcards that An Post distributed during the early days of the first lockdown, and talk of people's walking routes around the town for exercise. I've no great interest myself in either, but I didn't ask for them to be moved to a separate thread. My view was and remains that the GAA talk was a valid conversation here. It was Enniscorthy-related, somebody started it with a question, I put up an answer, there was a bit of interest in it, and I then threw up some more info as well. If somebody wanted to get in a huff over it because it steered the conversation away from his own observations and views, well then, that's that somebody's own business. But at the end of the day, things have indeed become so quiet here that maybe his prediction is coming true that the thread would disappear up its own arse.

It make me sad to see the state of the place and to see people who do their best to make the place look clean, get attacked for it.
