Given it is sledger who has posted this I suspect it is a wind up. But if srs then yes good point. In general debates on CW within two posts of disagreement descend into people posting emoticons of a head hitting a wall. or calling the other person an idiot, I don't enter into any debates as people simply don't have the skills to conduct them civilly.

If I have fallen for the bait here that Sledger has laid by answering seriously then the joke is on me.

Is a good example of someone throwing unnecessary invective into what should be an engrossing debate.

That's not a very nice thing to say and illustrates my point.

Legitimate question IMO

Thanks for your support Marcuss.

I think "question" is a euphemism for what his unwelcoming comment was.

And my question back is why wasn't his heated comment and your follow up directed at sledger who said as much in the thread title? I just expanded his point.

Why get mad at me?

I'm not suggesting you leave, but saying that debate is impossible on here because the members don't have the skills to engage in them properly is a pretty damming thing to say about a forum, since debate is one of the main things a forum is meant to create and thrive on.

I'm just getting a bit sick of prominent members slagging off the whole forum and its members, and people starting threads about particular assets of the forum they hate etc.

Fair dues and thanks for your elaboration.

I will make a sensible reply when I give your post due consideration.

IMO CC goes through peaks and troughs and of late it has been difficult to have an enjoyable debate. But it will rise again.

 

[sledger]

The **** are you ****s doing ruining my thread?

Yeah great post Cabinet. Pointed out one of the frustrating aspects of the forum and ruined Sledger's thread all at the same time.

 

[Spikey]

I don't have a problem with the level of debate in CC

I'm sick and tired of skidmark00's tone in the AFL thread though

 

[Flem274*]
