I'm not, BWM. I have gone back through a lot of this thread and can honestly say that I cannot see that "ugly bickering" is evident in what I saw, let alone dominant. In fact, if you look at the very first page, back in June 23, you will see a good natured exchange between Nigel and Steve that is the very opposite of ugly bickering.

I think that you may be going back to the days when there was plenty of activity by right wing trolls and lots of bad reactions to that by others. That does not seem to have happened in the last year and a half so I don't know why you mention it now. This is the only thread we are allowed on UK politics due to previous bad behaviour and, for some strange reason, I feel sort of responsible! If there has been any ugly bickering since June 23 maybe we can close this thread now but I see no real evidence of it.

If it was before June 23, just forget it.
