Other Topic - What next? Bureaucratic madness and taking PC too far!

[Akwesasne]

I'll have to post another controversial thread that is punnable (is that a real word?)

Yes please and who better than yourself to post controversial threads. On The Notts County board recently a similar subject created over 300 replies and 6000 viewings. An excellent bonanza for Footymad. Despite that the owner of Footymad despite some brilliant contributions had to order it's deletion and tell the local Mod who to ban. However the inquest into the ban has been allowed to remain.

Sorry folks but I still don't get it - I see that some of you think there's no great harm in posting completely non-football topics on this board. OK but I don't understand why anyone would come onto a football dedicated message board to make a political point. There are countless other places to get into that bag why not use those places? There was also a suggestion that non-football posts should have some sort of identification marker to show they are not football related - Why? If they're not football related they shouldn't be on here. I just feel there are people who want their views to be seen regardless of their relevance to the forum in which they are aired and there are another bunch who can't resist biting at the bait when it's dangled in front of them. I still say - stick to football guys.

Rats ( Ireland and the behaviour of British troops ) Was it British troops who set off the bombs in Birmingham and Brighton hotels or were they responsible for 356 Protestants being murdered during the troubles Theres always two sides to every story you love to go on about Iraq being illegal but seem to forget it was the Tories who voted with Blair or we would never have been able to go to war in the first place

I know full well how the british forces behaved in Ireland and its not just Bloody Monday either I have friends and family who had houses stormed into .... because they could ..... and treated like animals .... because they could. Not all but a fair few. And how many people did the British forces kill? I don't condone the bombing but as time has gone on we shouldn't have been in Ireland.

And the government sent troops to Iraq knowing full well it was a pack of lies. It was illegal nothing less. I don't buy this fol

Yes if you could mark it as none footy related that'd work. 48 posts and counting so far and only about a dozen of those are *bleep* fish puns, clearly the interest is there.

I could move them but then they would not continue.

Just make the subject with OT: before the title to identified Other Topic like in the old days.

Don't understand the problem. Triz said all there was to say in post 46...if you're interested in the thread/debate then contribute, that's fine...if you're not, then just ignore it. What's the problem with that? Loads of threads are started that either don't interest people or leave them feeling ill equipped to contribute to, but what's the point of moaning about it? Is it so outrageous for football fans to discuss things other than football occasionally?

P.S. It was 'Bloody Sunday' - not Monday - Rats.

And yet you clicked on the thread again? Puzzling.

If you don't like them just steer clear of them. Problem solved int it
