I have a rhetorical question to ask - please bear with me.
Why is it that apparently not a single thread can be maintained here that merely advocates universal values such as peace, friendship, etc. - not necessarily political terms or concepts in my understanding - without some member or other, among them well r...
People, myself not excepted, are dicks.
I know you said it was rhetorical, but that's the answer. We actually do okay here, most of the time.
Why can’t we just talk about watches, cars, good food, photography, etc.?
There are lots of other venues (online and offline) for discussions that you indicate.
Well, the recent one that was removed had only two comments and none with a political agenda
There is a lot of censorship for the sake of censorship going on here on all kinds of topics. Still the best place for watches though
100%
I am in total agreement with your statement. It is one thing to have someone posting politically themed content with some personal bias/agenda on the menu - that is immediately clear when it happens, and ought to be promptly moderated. It is a totally dif...
Why not eliminate problems waiting to happen before they become big problems?
I'm sure the mods have seen the same type of posts lead to the same issues over and over. So, at a certain point, maybe easier to clear the pile of explosives rather than wait for the explosion.
Well, than that reflects poorly on the members here....
The point being, we all ought to be mature enough here not to descend into any form of reactionary commentary! The constructive solution, in an ostensibly high-brow forum like this one, isn't to immediately cut-out any form of topic that just may lead int...
Spangles is spot on. What may be an objective opinion to you . . .
. . . could well be subjective to another. That's why the moderator team edits any explicitly political thread. We simply don't have the time to scrutinize, weigh, and balance every post. We are moderating the forest as well as the trees. When a forest is...
I come here because I can unashamedly enjoy and discuss the fine things in life. No excuses. No explaining. No need to preface anything. I don't ask for people's life stories or personal positions.
And I think we all get along when we stick to the stuff that we definitely have in common. The good things in life that we are privileged enough to enjoy and don't need to apologize for. I'm sure there are other forums on the internet where people can hav...
i am a long time member here and i am really glad about the thread/question - it should be possible to discusse, why this is not th e place, but ... !
i am a bid shocked, that a lot of pepple only think about have fun with there watches, drink the most expensive wine ... only have there on life in the focus a bid like children or othrr people, who need all these things and show others, what good life th...
I don't mean to offend you. There are many people here from many different backgrounds with different views. We have a few things in common here. Everybody should be able to meet on neutral ground like when both sides of the trenches shared a Christma
meal together. And forgot hostilities for a few hours. As I said above, there are many who support you and agree with you and may be doing so in real tangible ways in other places. We don't need to mix it all together. Just because we don't discuss real w...
