I stand by my original view that this discussion should have been kept above the BS line as it started as a serious suggestion worth discussion by the FULL membership.
I am also somewhat disgusted by the members who have simply used it as an excuse to "have a go" at Shambles. I am aware of the disagreements which various people have had with him, but just because you do not like somebody doesn't mean that EVERYTHING they say should be ridiculed. Before you all started in with the anti-shambles postings there was a valid point which I for one was treating as a worthwhile subject.
I can also to a point sympathise with his position that whatever he might post somebody will try to "shout him down" without even listening to an argument.
I personally would like to see a clean thread in the main section to ask for members opinions about the pros and cons of the BS split. I would like to see a serious discussion with arguments for and against the different positions. I would like to see some civilised behaviour from members who ought to know better.
Quack!
