A New Forum Please

[ChasUK 0]

Now it's not because I have no opinion about the matter, far from it in fact, but I feel like this.

Would it be possible to have a separate forum for all issues "Muslim", "Islam", "Terrorist" etc etc so that those of us who would like to discuss other "Off Topic" topics can do so, without having to trudge through those subjects?

Like I said, it's not that I don't have a strong opinion about the subject, it's just that I have no desire to get into any form of verbal battle/discussion on the internet about such subjects. I simply have no intention of even hinting about my feelings whichever way they fall. Those are subjects I deliberately restrict myself to only discussing with friends and family. I'm sure there are other people who feel similarly. It just seems that these subjects come up so often in so many threads, and are likely to continue to, that it thins out the other "Off Topic" subjects that are more, shall we say, pallatable to discuss with people who we only know in a Cyber world.

I agree. The proponderance of the political threads (and the hostility therein) would seem to demand some sort of dedicated area on the forums for those topics. It might also draw away a lot of the trolls who have recently set up shop here.

I have seen plenty of hostility on VJ on all kinds of topics, not just political. Remember those "K3's should have higher priority than K1" threads?

If people don't like the topics being posted, they should post their own.

I believe this was suggested in the Site forum, and got rejected by Ewok? (too lazy to go thread-searching)

Trolls? Why who could that possibly be?

I am serious.

just skip over such threads.

Daniel

If you read my post, my request was so that I don't HAVE to skip over those threads. There are so many appearing now that it's getting to be a task to do just that. That is exactly why I asked the question.

hahaha

As I said before I am serious.

No, I saw that. It's just that there are so many now I feel it may be justified. (Too rude to be polite?)
