And from a different perspective, I've ceased to see the point in some threads. I know who the main players will be before opening them and can predict who will agree with whom. Rather than resolution, they can turn to 1000+ posts of bile with no real winners. Those with entrenched positions will remain as such and as one thread closes, another starts as a continuation with no minds changed. This has nothing to do with who I may or may not agree with on a particular issue nor is it an attempt to claim innocence in rows (I've had a few of my own…) It's just a feeling that the place would be better without a perpetual run of threads that can go nowhere nice. I'm a fine one to talk but perhaps it would be better to focus on what we have in common, for some of us, eg, gardening below the line?
