Poll: Lets Ban Negative Threads

[wheelinround]

Ban negativity?
Little story.
Have a friend who was in admin in a large bank. Bank called an executive meeting to discuss whether lease out their IT instead of doing it in house. Friend raised many objections and was told he was being negative. "We want positive input here". He was the company's Risk Assessor.
As he said "They only wanted to hear what agreed with their ideas."

War doesn't prove who is right. It only proves who is left.

Seen this many times the blind leading the blind reminds me of horses with blinkers on.
Those that agree are usually the yes men & woman afraid of loosing their jobs positions etc.

Life is like taking photographs if you walk/talk around the subject you get different perspective.

And the way I see it this forum has members are are retired and happy and rested and in a good frame of mind, as we crankies who are tired from work.

and not getting all "robocop" on us

Hey leave robo alone, he cant help it.....

The mods have to make a bit of a judgement call on what the intent of the posters appear to be. If they seem to be just stirring the pot and causing unrest because they are bored, drunk or just plain ornery, that is different to someone who appears to have a genuine bleat about a topic and are getting it off their chests.

Negative threads create debate if they can stay balanced, once someone calls someone else a nazi though it is usually a good time to pull the plug.

Then of course you have trolling posts...

Ban the Mods, hey Groggy youre a nazi.....

If you think a thread it is negative and don't like it.
Don't participate......simple.

Its not as easy as that though is it, if it was, there wouldnt be threads like this one.

Example.
I think all those that live in Central QLD are all inbred hicks, matter of fact, include the whole of QLD in that.

I know where Bob is coming from with this thread.

Is that where you ancestors are from?

[The Bleeder]

Why ban negative threads, where else can you have some fun at someone else's expense. Whingers are a different thing. Maybe we should have a 'Whingers Board' and put there names up there for all to see. Then you can decide whether you wish to communicate with this person or not.

People who own cats have got to be fair game. Let's go for it.
Thanks for the tip HH.

You lot didn't read the questions properly!

I don't have any problems with expressing different viewpoints or debating a subject. I'm not on about censorship

For any group of people to work well there must be respect & consideration.

This doesn't happen with the bagging brigade of whingers who continually bag tradies.

So if any of the baggers ask a question to which I could provide a good answer, please identify yourself as a bagging whinger first, and I'll refrain from offering you any advice at all.
