I judge by the curtness of your reply you do infact assume I`m in the "keyboard warrior" bracket.

Another misconception, never mind.

Well I liked it even with all the debating/arguing - that's what it was there for.

I disagree that people said things they wouldn't face-to-face with their mates - it's just when you make a snide/sarcastic comment that you would laugh off in person, it gets completely misrepresented in text.

I think we all realise there's more chance of Kim Jong Il actually winning an election than it coming back.

I agree with this 100%. Things are easily misinterpreted in messages and in texts alike. Even with exclamation mark(s) at the end, trying to convey a sentence as being light-hearted, it doesn't always come out that way.

But like I have been saying Paul, if you want that kind of debate, there are other places to go.

I know, and I do. But here you could talk about football AND other stuff with a diverse range of people. If you go to other places they tend to cater for a specific type of person that you identify with but in things like this it becomes a place for agreeing with people and preaching to the converted. Here, the fact that it was football first and then other stuff meant that all sorts were contributing.

Unless you could recommend some sites that aren't targetted at specific people?

Hmmm, so far in the personals section we've had threads about music, GCSEs and Big Brother. Public Bar by stealth? I remember when it happened to the 'X rated banter' section.

I agree, its about time this thread was closed.

I didn't mean this one - there are genuine points to be made in here. But can we allow personal messages to descend into general conversations no matter how nice they are?
