but on a serious note, are other forums like this? I don't partake anywhere else, but those of you who do, is there a common theme of immigration, police brutality, football? or are we just a sad bunch of grumpy so and so's?
Gerrunt, what's it like on Netmums?

I do. Immigration not so much, but definitely police brutality & football. The difference between here and there is that on there, most things go & the moderators don't lock every thread at the drop of a hat. That said, members don't whine at everything either.
If someone calls you something you just get on with it, or throw equal amounts of abuse back in return (swearing & personal insults allowed). Most of the 'arguments' on here are pretty tame to be honest.

Oh i agree they're tame arguments.... but the point is about the thread being hijacked - should we just accept 2 pages of discussion before spacepuss and Cumbrian argumentative Man start kicking off...

Not really. You get 100+ pages on the topic with very little else, but then again it's a massive forum (in terms of users). The thing is, everyone seems to have respect for each other despite the heated arguments, whereas here some don't seem to have any respect for anyone.
Some of the stuff on there has ended up in Private Eye and some national newspapers. Certain radio DJs and TV presenters also seem to keep an eye on it.

From experience there does seem to be more "fronts" on here

Pure professional sites and specific hobby sites tend to be far more tollerent IMHO.
Too many "lay experts" here for one.
And of course the obligatory wind up merchants.

There's at least two more in there somewhere that I can't remember; but why bother. Time for bed.
