I, for instance, don’t comment on any F1 threads because it’s something I have no interest in but, according to the numbers, the political threads do generate a fair amount of interest, debate does involve ‘to and fro’ and, tbf, MA has hardly avoided having plenty to say on the subject…he just invariably says it respectfully.
Unfortunately, your last six words aren't always applied by some I'm afraid rA.

As I have said on another thread my concern is the impact on the future of this forum. I have no problem with the political threads at all but for the 'footie' threads to have some depth and interest it is essential that as many varied opinions as possible are available to be expressed and read. By definition that requires as many contributors as possible to still use the site!

In my opinion we have lost some good posters over the years and tbh we can't afford to lose anymore, indeed not long ago MA inferred that he was considering, because of the tone being used by some, whether to continue posting on here. Recently, imo, a line has been crossed too many times especially when it comes to your term 'respectfully'!

As MA says there is a point where 'enough is enough'!
