This goes for m8, nite or prolly....

I love it when the mods get their priorities in the right order...

I guess they dont use sms.. or text anywhere today....far too common...or is it old age perhaps... Roll Eyes

.. I bet London to a brick.. you all use short text when sms...but dont let that get in the way of being shocked by the word suxs... Roll Eyes

F.OFF doesnt shock the mods. Roll Eyes

just saying. Tongue

politics sucks..... it doesnt even sound right.

how about politics suck???...

I never used it because I hardly ever sent text messages back then. What's the point when you can actually talk to someone or leave a voice message? All new phones have had decent predictive text for years, so it is no longer necessary.

It was not my intention that partisan topics would be "dumped", but that people would figure out for themselves where the thread should go. Partisan politics has it's place, but it should not swamp non-partisan debate of the actual issues, which is what happens when the cheerleaders latch onto an issue.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

has far too narrow a focus. It should cover politics generally, not drag some of the more interesting topics to other boards.

It makes PolSux WAY too much a party political debate B O R I N G !

The way I see it (FD can correct me if I am wrong) this forum was set up with the intention that "General" would be the main place for discussion. Any topics which were too party political and biased would be dumped in the "politicians suck" board.

It just so happens that most members of this forum are cheerleaders for their team so the "politicians suck" board has evolved into the most popular.

I never thought that I would say this but i agree with Andrei on this one. "Text speak" is really annoying on an internet forum.

Go back to the 1950s then! Grin

The only excuse for people using "text speak" is if they are posting using their mobile phone

Sweet, that means i can still post in the MAIN FORUM,........... Cheesy

I agree with you but if you take your blinkers off I think you will see that both sides are guilty of that.

General and PS should definitely be kept seperate
