Been a poster for the last 8 years and it's been good.

However recently things have changed.

Far too many adverts seem to pop and it's got too commercial.

Tonight there's a really nasty mil thread that consist of posters slagging off their mothers/mils for doing the ironing FFS.

Earlier posters defended a paedophile footballer.

Anyway time out and sadly end of an era for me.

I actually can't believe half the threads here as so ridiculous.

It's sad but the site isn't what it was.

For me it's the uncertainty as to whether a poster genuinely is quite limited in insight or is a troll trawling. I used to err on the side of 'engage with a good heart'. Post-Jeremy, I feel hesitant.

Though I have trouble sticking to ANY of that ... Which I will see as human fallibility rather than hypocrisy.

It was me that wrote 'thick' earlier. I really should have used the phrase 'limited insight' - or actually a far longer phrase - it would have been closer to what I meant. But I'm on my phone and , bloody hell, it takes a while to type.
I think that is why many posts are quite curt these days.
I know mine are massively shorter than ye olde laptoppe days.

op download ad blocker, you ad it onto your extensions if you use google chrome, works for youtube ads as well.

I cant fix the rest of your issues with the site though but say opinions are like arseholes everyone has one.
