If you don’t want to believe what someone has posted, then don’t - nobody is forcing you to read it. Let’s hope this site never plumbs the depths, that that particular forum does and this forum remains a site for adult debate on forest related stuff.(04-07-2018, 01:19 PM)BadDog Wrote:(04-07-2018, 12:52 PM)Werewolf of Lenton Wrote:(03-07-2018, 05:58 PM)Tricky Wrote: Isn't what respectful differences of opinions make forums so popular?
Forums would be a damned sight boring if everybody shared the same matter of opinion on every subject.
Every body is entitled to their own opinion, but it doesn't make their opinion right, nor does it mean you have to accept it. Debate and discussion are powerful things if used in the right context and can bring a lot of useful information out to the fore. The same applies to disagreement, provided it is done in a sensitive and respectful way.
Well that's my opinion anyway, it is entirely up to you whether you agree with it or not
I agree.
I'm a long-time member and poster on LTLF (under a different username I hasten to add) and feel that the mods get the balance right over there on the whole, in terms of allowing robust disagreement and debate, and even reasonable confrontation as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
It's clearly a different approach on here, but it's good to see another forum with a similarly wide range of topics. I'll try and keep the restraint in approach to posting on here more in mind in future.
TBF you basically said it was a load of rubbish and one of the most ridiculous things you've ever read. Not quite a debate more of a dig.
Sniffer didn't have to tell you it was him who said it, it's not different on here but debate should be reasoned not thrown.
Fair comment. What makes this forum so refreshing is that people share juicy info'. Sniffer, BadDog, Jock and several others...
To do this without being hammered, insulted or stalker 'digged' at all the time (which resulted in a toxic atmosphere on certain other forums...) is what makes this a better place for Forest fans who want a bit of inside track or just a cool place to hang out and chat about Forest stuff.
The best thing is to just enjoy the information at face value. People seem to post in genuine good faith and it should be accepted in that spirit.
So thanks to Sniffer, BadDog and Jock as well as the others such as Red for sharing the 'secret juice' and keep it coming.
SA.
