Request for a current affairs forum

[The Esk]

I appreciate that this is first and foremost an Everton related football forum, however I'm sure there's enough interest in having a current affairs forum under the GOT umbrella.

Save getting the Ale House clogged up with endless political arguments subsequently deleted - a dedicated forum, I'll even offer to moderate it

Mods, owners, debt-holders etc what's the view?

When debating politics you just have to remember the other person just disagrees with you. It doesn't make them a bad person. They just come at it from a different point of view. Just have to avoid the name calling and being demeaning. Nothing sets me off quicker than someone trying to talk down to me or calling me a moron or something. I will go full Rambo on your ass if that happens.

Is it because you is a moron.....

I know enough about everything to know I know nothing about everything...I'm all for it but I rarely debate, I listen. Hopefully that wouldn't exclude me from entrance if this goes forward.

Listening is learning... nobody knows everything and nobody is right all of the time...... not even Bruce or Brennan.

I usually swerve it but some things are important and I have views on them.... I hope I don't enforce them on others or dismiss their's childishly...maybe I do... I'm not too sure ha ha but honestly I try not to.

No probs mate, you're Welsh and no one listens to you anyway.......

 

[Kurt.]

Yeah agree, it's always in the back of my mind why we're all on this forum in the first place. I don't think you insult anyone by the way.

Awww,,,cheers Longy fella.... but i'm not dense enough not to think that maybe sometimes I do upset people..... it's unintentional... the same as sometimes other peoples views get my blood boiling... it's not always their intention I know and I accept that.

Why can't we just have political debates in the ale house?

Just stay out of the thread if you're not interested and the more mature regulars sort of self police it and if that doesn't work let the mod banstick do it's work.

I'm not sure Bruce will be too happy being compared with Brennan tbh.......

Frank, Frankie, Francis, it's all about the human dynamics inherently projected upon the fragmented diaspora of the membership.....

Oh, think you're tough eh with your mates behind you.......

 

[Coach]

Interesting responses from all concerned - I'm a little disappointed to be honest, but as there's no great enthusiasm or willingness to trial an area for mature discussion of current affairs I've more than enough to do elsewhere to push it.

Let's file it in "no further action required"

I think the idea is great esk. I would back it.

I think it ridiculous we can't discuss this subject. Apparently this is because people would insult each other but his goes on ALL over the site so why single out this subject for a moratorium?

My point exactly, it's all bollocks.

Because insulting eachother about Everton is what we're here for

We'd probably kill each other. Sat on the fence here now.
