I understand some like the politics thread etc is not negotiable, but there are some that are definitely up for consideration to remain are you also concerned about losing your post count?!

Nobody wanted to lose the trump or global politics thread. And though pretty feisty at times, I think all protagonists on both sides in those threads learnt a lot from the other. And I don’t believe those threads gave birth to any sworn enemies. So, imho the discussion served the community well; shutting them is unfortunate. Yes, but the key here is that a well balanced individual with his head not firmly inserted into his own behind can read these, understand it and move on or debate accordingly. There are not many such individuals in the world. What We are once again catering for is a minority element, affecting the greater majority negatively. I have over the years of visiting forums, and being exposed to opposing views learnt to take into account what the other party has to say, and decide to comment or not (and go away thinking "what a chop" LOL). I have learnt a lot as you say, and it is sad in the greater scheme of things to lose a platform where fairly civil discussions can be had. This is ultimately what forums were created for. The issue comes into play where the forum is owned by an individual, who ultimately decides the rules. It's not a democracy, unless it was established as such. It is clear however that the long-standing (or participating) members does not like the "remove the offending limb" and would rather have explored other remedies...maybe a vaccination? Harryn 1

Dubber Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I haven't read all the comments. But I guess the Good, Bad Ugly threads, Time to get out of here etc all are all now gone / going? As an expat, the thoughts and or queries that arose in those threads were ones I could relate to (and in some cases assist with). Can't say I'll be able to help with local group ride queries . Good luck - it's been fun... Stretch and BaGearA 2

Well done team admin, you certainly achieved your goal.
