can't we all just chill out?

I've noticed a couple of threads on this bit of the forum that get quite heated, and includes various forum members getting angry in their posts. why can't we all just chill, after all, we all love motorsport.

Quoted for truth

The bitchyness and know-it-allness in some threads is rediculous

You just think you are such a "know it all" and here you are bitching...

We all may love racing but the love stops there. We all have opinions and beliefs. While some people may have parallels, I think forums will always be heated and especially international ones.

That is why we have moderators that we overwork. Actually I would like to see all the over 18 forum members on a no holds barred forum.

Sorry Roamy I disagree. We are allowed a lot more freedom on Chit Chat than on the other forums here but there does have to be some control, especially as to language. I know I have pushed the envelope at times particularly with Eki and Wade, who seems to have disappeared.
Without controls I think things would get totally out of hand. I know I have stopped to think what I was about to say was beyond the pale at times.
So far I have usually stopped and I haven't gone past the line for a couple of years. I suspect I have been close though.
What we are allowed to say here in Chit Chat would resulit in bans in the sections devoted to actual motorsport competition.

If a mod ever took seriously what some of us say to each other in the Joke thread we would be gone for life!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it! If only it wasn't for that meddling Markabilly nobody would ever have found out...

[F1boat]

Lol, the comments here are heated, but when we discuss Alonso, Hamilton or Michael Schumacher - now that's heated! Especially when ioan is in

I agree some of us should chill out. I post a little less often now than I did, and I am veering away from a lot of the political forum posts on Chit Chat mainly because I know what a few are going to say, I know what I will say, and it will go on for about 150 messages over 15 pages. It was getting old....

The really hilarious part? I suspect outside of politics, I would likely get along like a house on fire with Eki on a lot of other subjects, but here, I get into his grill and he mine.

So I must admit, I have cut back and avoided...but I still will be passionate and opinionated on the racing forums I head to, on THAT, I have no reason to back down.

That's the reason I'm not even opening a lot of threads in CC, It's gotten boring even before the first reply to the opening post.

Might be better if mods just throw the political rhetoric carbage into a one single thread, they're all about recycling the same posts anyway.
