Troll-Bots

[Munroast]

I have had a little read of the comments in here, and I concluded that it is some sort of echo chamber for those of the right wing disposition, with a few well intentioned middle of the road types. This comment is a perfect example: "how much more pleasant it is when they are not around."
It is not a Discussion Forum, as is implied by its title. Other opinions are greeted with disdain and the holders of such opinions usually subjected to insults.
I would have added to the middle of the road voices, but I suspect I would soon be hounded out because so many want an echo chamber, not a discussion. Dissention is usually met with abuse, which is allowed to flourish.
So look to yourselves for the Troll-Bots.

By the way, thanks to the replies about my handbrake problem. It is not yet sorted but I can manage with it as is, until my appointment for repair.

Oh it is far more than that, lots of different points of views, from very opposing sides of that political fence, Notch Nose John to name a few, completely deluded as may be, but I welcome their views, they are genuine views, human views, and as such can give me thought to reflect on my own standpoints

By the web-bots I am referring to these rather odd enteritis that appear, make 40+ political type posts a day, and for me their arguments never seem quite genuine, it is though their arguments are designed to divide and make everyone more extreme - they spoil the forum.

You’re not allowed an opinion that doesn’t agree with JohnD, that’s for sure.

yes you are

what you arent allowed to do is repeatedly call people "Jew haters" without evidence

this forum is not the place for state of Israel propaganda, so if you want to weaponise anti semitism then please take it elsewhere

 

[Notch7]

completely deluded as may be

right back at ya!

Fair comment. But as a simple test to the value of your hypothesis, do those that you describe as 'Web-Bots' reflect your point of view or not?
I suspect that they do not reflect your point of view, (based on your earlier "how much more pleasant it is when they are not around.") hence your suggestion that they are Web-Bots, and thus back to the usual, 'shoot the messenger'.

Just my initial assessment:
I notice that nwgs2 looks like he is a recent recruit, But his first post was, "I'm back".
So no new members for at least two years, participating in this section.
Possibly one new recruit every couple of years, to this section of the site. Most contributors go back over 10 years.
Newcomers not welcome.

Will the last one out, turn off the lights.

Most of us can’t be arsed to look at it because we know its full of cr*p and shouty people who fail to see the other side of any argument. Easier to ignore it and pass on by. I only dropped in because it was first on my list of new posts.

Bye

As long as i agree you mean.

The state of Isreal is murdering innocent people and needs to stop. The same goes for Palestine though!!

I am no dragon, but, 'I'm out!'

You’re quite clearly not though, are you? You made that statement when you had three posts to your name. You have now made five.

You have made just one comment on this issue. Does it address my comments or does it try to discredit me, as a person?
Point proven?
Only one response, so far, has addressed my comments.
The others have reinforced my opinion of this section.

Six now. Is that it?

Seven of mine, only one responding to a genuine response to my comment. The rest addressing the typical 'shoot the messenger' comments.
Two of yours now. Neither addressing the issue I raised.
Is that it?
And it would be rude to not respond to genuine responses about my comments.
But normally comments like yours are not deserving of replies. I only reply to highlight the proofs of my assumption.
Keep it up, and there won't be any newcomers at all.
But that is maybe what you all want.

Looks like you’re here to stay. At least until people cotton on to who you are. On my ignore list you go. Bye.
