Forum Future?

[Travs]

This is so true. It's nothing to do with fell running anymore and the stronghold of a few opinionated people. Some of them have very provocative, bigoted views and are very rude to people that oppose them. I'm sorry that it's going but its due to a few bigots who have spoilt it for all and put off people who want information and discussion on fell running. It seemed to go down hill during the Brexit debate and got much worse during Covid. I'm sorry as I was approaching entry to The Masters Lounge and was looking forward to supping Tim Taylors and talking bollox with knowledgeable fell runners. And as for allowing a Zionist strap line - I despair, but appreciated the poetry.

Whilst it would be unwise to discount the thoughts of people like yourself and Stanley.... as its clear that to understand why popularity is dwindling, then we need to take on board your opinions.... and its clear that if you think this way, then there are doubtless many others.

But its worth mentioning that those toxic arguments are generally confined to one thread (or section of the forum).

The issue is when the forum is fairly quiet, those discussions become more prominent.

But to say it's nothing to do with fell running anymore and the stronghold of a few opinionated people. Some of them have very provocative, bigoted views and are very rude to people that oppose them. I'm sorry that it's going but its due to a few bigots who have spoilt it for all and put off people who want information and discussion on fell running is a bit harsh to the majority of us.... (well i assume its a majority....! as i mentioned earlier i don't know or care what is posted on the politics thread, and i assume its just a few people... there is no obligation to read that particular thread/section) .... the majority who don't get involved and generally only talk about fellrunning/racing on here.
