Re: The EU - Leave or Remain?

You despise it, yet you want to remain part of it. That's just perverse. Sounds like quite a few members attitudes towards the IAM at the moment given the other threads on here :lol: I know many observers and group officials who are disapointed with the hierarchical, uncommunicative and secretive n...

Re: The EU - Leave or Remain?

Afraid I'll be voting remain. I despise the EU, but I feel that being a member, we'll have a better chance of improving it and changing things, as it's much easier to change things from internally. As Akirk has said, I'm actually pissed off by the fact we're doing the referendum, because now it rem...

Re: Censorship and derailment

Right then, ADHub is no longer on my 'favourites' list for frequent and easy access, so I guess that's that. I therefore repeat my previous request that my posts be deleted and my ADHub membership terminated. Drawing a parallel with the Leave/Remain campaign, many of the above posts show that there...

Re: Censorship and derailment

I am being very patient here and am getting a little fed up of the criticism - it was a very minor issue........ I hope you have a lovely long drive! :car: Alasdair It was raining, so not that long a drive. Don't take it as criticism, it was more a philosophical discussion about moderation. Not eve...

Re: Censorship and derailment

Rolyan, your philosophy is very close to mine, as you will see if you look back over many threads that have wandered randomly! However I have to find a balance... - if a thread wanders and folks don't mind, then fine - if I get complaints then it is a different issue I think that possibly there is ...

Re: Censorship and derailment

Without trying to read Alisdair's mind, I think another possible reason for closing the thread was that it was on the cusp of turning nasty about your posts on cyclists and other user's interpretations of it. No fault on any part, but there's nothing like a good bitch fight to wreck any thread. Tha...

Re: Censorship and derailment

I think that might be the first editing I have done / locking of a thread since we started this forum c. 9 months ago - hardly severe moderating :) I don't generally mind some thread drift but some times it is easier to stop a thread and restart than to try to get it back on track... I have no issu...

Re: Censorship and derailment

No. HTH. An internet forum is not a democracy. There's only a small admin team and sometimes decisions have to be taken. They don't require a vote from the whole membership. If people would stick to the thread topic (clue - it's at the top of every page of posts), there would be no need for any int...
