surely thats exactly why it has been sunk and not blocked/removed then. those that don't want to take part don't have to, it doesn't take over the whole board, and those that want to discuss can do.
[cite]Posted By: Stu of SE7[/cite]Dan, you can still dicuss it, the topic hasnt been locked, or deleted, it's simply not being pushed to the top of the page every 2 minutes.
Yeh but if its being Sunk then it does just that and disappears of the front page of the MB and then no one will comment.
Those that want to discuss it can and those that don't don't.
Its just like any other topic.... I don't have interest in The Seven Ages Of Rock topic and haven't looked at it once.
I personally think that we've shown in the past 12mths that because we know each other personally, or at the very least chatted with each other extensively, that by and large this isn't Netaddicks where things end up getting personal and rather stupid
[cite]Posted By: CharltonDan[/cite]"online MB equivalent of Ken Livingston" is meant to express that if anything slightly risque is being discussed, such as Islamic Fundamentalists, then everything is quietened up in fear of offence.........Its bollox Smudge!
that's your definition. The reasons these type of debates get sunk on here is not fear of offence, its just that they simply don't want them dominating a primarily football board. I want new people to visit this site because they feel its good for Charlton news and opinions, not because its got sounding off debates sparked my either right wing views or leftie defensives. What could easily start as one thread, soon becomes four, and the next thing you know the bulk of a forum is dominated by non-football issues with a similar agenda.
That's not burying your head in the sand, its just saying that if you want to vent your opinion on these type of subjects, there are plenty of other platforms more suited for it than here, because this is not why we started this site. We'll not from my point of view.
[cite]Posted By: CharltonDan[/cite]The world, and this MB, would be a boring place if we all agreed on everything and didn't get the chance to talk about anything more emotive than the cost of Palace away........
Seems to have gone ok in the last year. It would be nice for it to stay a fun place which has Charlton running through it, but when it does deviate away its done with light-hearted banter, rather than just moaning how shit this country has become, and how crap the world is we live in. But i can't force people into what they want to post....
