Hopefully the weather will brighten up soon, then They can get out on their bikes instead of talking bollocks.

These threads leave me bewildered as there are many much more appropriate sites to debate politics than a site dedicated to old bikes. And you have to wonder when some contributors make over three quarters of their posts in Off Topic .........

the trouble with politics sites or newspapers or such is that the "members" tend to be mostly of a similar persuasion so what's the point of debating with people who already think the same, on a bike site you get a real cross section of people so may hear different opinions which is surely the point of a debate - to broaden your thinking and ideas and be open to different views - at least that's the theory if you can keep the trolls at bay...................
of course some people can't be bothered or don't look at the off topic area - it's not compulsory, guess shame for poor mod who has to referee.....

On any forum I've ever used you start off in the main area then get bored either of the chat or the topic in general, thus migrate to off topic. It's usually the place to be, like the kitchen at parties if you will.
For me you have to wonder about people moaning about off topic threads in off topic sections.

Off topic is the kitchen at a party? There has to have been some really pish poor parties round glasgow for that analogy to fly.

actually the main reason i'd hoped you had all given it a rest on this one was purely because these threads have a habit of turning sour, which means that even though i'm not interested in the thread subject i (amongst others) have to keep an eye on it to be the referee as someone put it.
this one has become very tit for tat with quoting and reading different things into what people have written, the tone is hard to pick up sometimes and this causes issues sometimes, luckily this thread has been relatively polite for a political thread but either way it's a bit sort of "sigh . . . have they not got bored yet" for me. (no offence meant by the way)
