Stop! Now! This is getting boring...
It's beyond boring MA, unfortunately the Mod can't step in as he's equally responsible!!
A good thread being ruined as it seems the playground is winning!
I would respectfully ask the moderator to delete anymore ignore/not ignore posts in this and other threads. It's more than played itself out and is extremely annoying to all but the two protagonists.
We are all now aware that...
1. ignore sees you get a message saying you're ignoring the poster and, if you want to read this one post, click here.
2. You will see, but don't have to read, ignored posts that are quoted by someone else
3. it seems you don't get the ignore message on a phone, just a laptop/PC. Weird but that is how it seems
Those are facts, not opinion. Time to put this issue to bed and if posters continue the spat then Admin needs to step in for the sanity of the rest of the forum.
Not so sure about "good thread" as much as "past it's sell by date" but still being ruined. Interestingly I went back and read the first page of the thread again, seeing some old names long since gone.
The initial discussion topic was not about Brexit but rather who should be the next PM, so it's been off topic since then!! Oh yes and there's an early ("almost antique") example of rear gunnery on page 1which has been a consistent feature ever since.
Maybe it's time to let the thread die a natural death
Good constructive message and yes I’ll do that
I’ll also act on any name calling/insults either personal or general and party political comments in sport threads unless highly relevant
And IMO we have enough party political threads so unless there’s an overriding need, when they pop up I’ll merge them with the two we have
Why? Does that make any sense? Is that your role? Sorry but you’re a moderator not some sort of content censor, other than where personal comments and rule breaking are concerned.
Like it or not the two (three if you count the one you’ve already closed without good cause) have generated more debate on here than any others.
There is an overlap between the Brexit thread and the ‘Careless Tories’ thread...of course there is...but it is no more than that and it would, imo, be wrong and confusing to merge them.
What if someone wants to start a thread about such disparate political issues as the Ukraine situation, Chinese surveillance, strikes, the NHS, the role of the Lords, countryside ‘sports’, the current Covid enquiry etc etc...they are all quite separate. If people want to discuss them the posts will flow...if they don’t the thread will die. It’s natural selection and doesn’t require you to be deciding what should be allowed or artificially merged...it’s not up to you and would be totally unprecedented imo.

This is a bizarre post at best! How can a post with Brexit in the title not be about Brexit? Sure laughingly Farage was suggested as being the person most would want as PM (a ludicrous suggestion even then) but to take Brexit forward!
Not a great grasp of reality (even when its in front of one)! Are you sure you read the posts in the front of the thread?
As for having died a death? You can't be serious? The reality is starting to bite and this will be a hot topic going forward. After all if your not interested, don't bother with reading the thread!
