I started a thread re climate change I am getting emails saying that others have commented but I cannot find the tread if I follow the email response I get asked for a password ?
Has my thread been shut for some reason? If so can the censor please tell me why and by whom? Mitchell

Got shunted to Bad Attitude.

REally?
I dont understand

Why ?
Was it something I said or something that someone else didnt agree with? seemed to happen alful fast
WHo?
decided ?
And how do I see it now?
Mitchell

You can get the password off admin. Don't know the answers to anything else

its politics hence why it got moved, be greatful it wasnt someone else or it would of been deleted

Politics goes to Bad Attutude.

Well its probably my fault as climate change properganda gets right up my nose! and i did say one or two naughty words but the rest was about the Titanic striking an ice berg and about a poem that states "Droughts and flooding rains" so if I am the culprit waltermitty, please accept my appoligy mate cheers Frank

Barls, if it got moved, where did it get moved to? it could be a good "Off Topic Subject" as its going to effect everyone on this great big island of ours and I promise I wont swear again & not let anger control the keyboard. Frank

Okay, can someone send me the pass word to access the restricted please, thanks Frank

I am like a lot of others who actually come to a VW forum for info and bits ad pieces about VW's,other crap such as politics etc I read about in the paper although waltermitty I like your avatar.Cheers Les

also that was before bad attitude was around. we are going by the guidelines set by andrew.


you can have all the opinions you want just post them in the right section. no one is saying dont have the discussion just do it in the right place.
personally i found it politicly based when you started talking about current members of parliament, their decisions and statements.

This is a quote from admin from the above thread 8 years ago ,HEAR HEAR Andrew what has happened. Mitchell

The only time any moderator or admins like myself may take action on a thread is if it has gotten completely out of hand and there's major name calling or similar.

That said, there's always places like the Democrats Yahoo Groups if you want to go an have a good argument!

Personally, I think war is the incorrect way to solve the Iraq situation, and there are far more pressing matters closer to home, like North Korea.

"Oh the times they are a changing"

while we are quoting

Fair enough Barls , I just dont understand how we went from the position in your last post from the position in the one above. Both are from Admin And I dont remember why or when the possition changed.

BTW Barls I appreciate the we can debate this here and that you are responding. Its a worthwhile discussing and one that informs us all. Mitchell

i barely remember the time before ba was around and i definitely wasnt around for that discussion. i dont remember why things changed but it happens.
as i said not trying to stop you from discussing it, just in the right section.
im happy to try and justify anything i do. just keeping my eyes out for the lynch mobs now, surely they will be here soon.

Cool, if they do come shunt them off fair enough. But hopefully we will just have an adult debate here . Going by the posts above i am not the only one who doesn't go to BA so once something is quarenteened there its gone.

Perhaps waiting till things go sour is a better approach than shunting by admin on their perception of possible immature responses? Rate the forum mentality higher?

I dont believe that there was any dissension in my original post that was sent to the sin bin,l it was punted prematurely.

Thats it for me what do others think? Mitchell

Global warming is a serious threat and needs as much heated debate as possible. Afterwards let's all cool down and have an icecream.

it was punted due to its political commentary. your argument that once its there is the same as blaming me for killing off the idea of the type 4 forum which was done by another member when his post was moved to feedback

as for the forum mentality, lets see had threats to sort me out ( still waiting on that one), had threats that i would never be able to buy vw parts in this country again (also still waiting for that on to happen), had my sexuality questioned and insinuated that it was something its not due to were i worked and my all time favourite abused for all the wrong doings on the forum when i was actually away.
so yeah no as a collective i dont think that highly of the mentality on here and its easier to use preventative than editing after the fact. individually im know that there are some reasonable people here its just the few bad apple shine through most of the time.

Come on guys if you wanna have a platform to voice your opinions provide a link but really isn't this a good site to talk be stuff?
you got deleted deal with it don't sit there whinging
