i agree with sammyboy i enjoy the thread up till the points people become disrespcetful of other peoples views.
to often i find people un willing to listen to any other theories other than there own.
at that point its no longer a discussion. i think if people try to appreciate others view points we could all make use of such discussions but if not they should just be locked.

I would agree very much with that. Such threads can be very interesting when the people involved are able to debate with one another in a civil manner. Sadly they usually end up turning into flame wars with people determined to bang their drum irrespective of others.
That's the reason I favour tougher moderation of such threads to keep them in line. That is if they have to exist at all.

In my opinion discussions in political and religious threads leads often if not always into flame wars, so the best choice would be imho to try not creating any of these types of threads. We should try not creating any of these types. There are a lot of sites which are related to such a discussions.

I find political threads are quite firmly moderated. I'm often 'advised' on the nature of my political postings. I'm also often advised when people contact a moderator about the content of my posts and no action is taken. This would suggest that some people are more interested in trying to censor me rather than have any valid point to bring up.

With respect to the moderators, I don't think such threads are moderated enough judging by the flaming and pettiness that I see occurring with such issues.
As for censorship, this isn't a democarcy and neither you, I or anyone else has a right to say what they like. I am actually rather heartened to hear that othe rmembers are as concerned with this issue as I am and pm the moderators with their concerns.

I must appologise for what has happened to my thread. I did state a few times that it was for discussing the events of 07/07/05 but no body seemed to care. At the time I started the thread no one really knew what was going on, I just wanted to SHARE information on what was going on. Seeing as the event has passed I would request that mod close it now as it has turned downright sour. Please feel free to continue the subject matter in another thread, (which hopefully I won't post in) I shall from now on try my best to keep my political/religous views to my self.
Again sorry for any trouble I may have cuased.

And I'm heartened that the moderators can see the difference between what is offensive and what is merely an attempt at censorship.

*You* didn't cause any trouble. It was/is generally a good thread. It seems that these sort of events naturally lead us to enquire into the nature of things and to look at causes.
People have different interpretations of the nature of the causes of it all, and that's where many unhelpful issues spring up from.

You didn't cause any trouble at all old boy. It is a shame that your thread was turned away from what you intended.

It's not your fault, it's people threadjacking your thread! I have to admit I've decided not to post in it any more, the conspiracy theoriests and nutters have started now!
