Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Is everyone allowed to express their opinion on Boards without bias from Mods?

    CA leans very much to the right. Fiscal conservativism, cutting social welfare, anti-immigrant and anti-traveller views are expressed frequently.

    The idea that this site is only for left-wing liberals is patently false.

    I disagree, from what I've seen, most seem to be left leaning liberals, some MODS included. I know now that this forum is not the place to go to for unbiased and fair discussions, it's actually worse than Twitter!!

    You've literally told posters to get out of your threads...

    Yes, because I have been insulted and attacked for my opinions. Some sort of gang is on here, they are like voltures that pick on anyone who disagrees with their opinion, Mods always side with them.

    It seems distinctly like you're happy to attack posters if they criticise your claims...

    This is a discussion forum. That seems your biggest issue. This isnt twitter or a personal blog where you can just ramble.


    When people decide to engage with you they expect a sane response. Not a meme or just doubling down repeating your original point not explaining/participating in discussion.

    What I'm seeing here is some kind of liberal gang, who wait to pounce on the next person who disagrees with their viewpoint.
    Yes, engaging with me is fine but what I'm getting is mocking, belittling, attacking, insulting and laughed at and I'm expected to say nothing from these libtards??

    If you post in an antagonistic fashion, it tends to end badly.

    I think you may be a bit misguided over what happens here.

    You have an opinion and express it, all fine.

    Others may have different opinions and some may oppose yours to a greater or lesser degree, again that's fine.

    But you seem to have chosen to ignore any questions asked of you and attack those whose views are different to yours.

    This is a discussion site. Posters are expected to discuss issues. If you make a claim, you're expected to be able to back it up or, at the very least, put forward a defense of your views. I've seen scant evidence of you doing that thus far and many of those that have engaged with you have come to a similar conclusion.

    Perhaps engaging respectfully with others might get a meaningful discussion going and allow an exploration of both your positions and others positions.

    Winning shouldn't be the objective, gaining a broader understanding should be.

    This a thousand times.
    Don, your posting style is one of, to put it Trumply, constantly trying to trigger the 'libtards'. I'm not having a pop at you btw it's just the way you come across.

    I honestly don't see that. You ask questions and ask for opinions. When you get replies you don't agree with or that ask for your own opinion you come back calling the posters left wing liberal bully boys. Even in this quote you toss in 'libtards'.
    People can't always agree but we can discuss opinions if it's a two way street.

    A left leaning Politics ‘CMod’ used the word ‘r*tard*d’ on Saturday in a Current Affairs / IMHO thread (the Farage one), so if that is the standard a CMod sets, them ‘libtard’ is actually a step up.

    OP has closed their account after 2 days of pretty constant trolling. I'm closing this thread to avoid further issues
