NO! Join in :twisted:
(Shouts) : "Hilda, better stick a big pot on love, NWC has turned up and she drinks tea by the bucketload..." ;-) Here, have this chair by me NWC and I can look down your top surruptitiously. By the way, did the ad get you anywhere? I did one for DG and it was so successful, she's spent the past month walking around like John Wayne with a six shooter up his bottom... (Actually, I have no idea if this is true or not...)
Sadly Bioke, my flapjack intentions were merely an offer of jovial and merry confection.. But you can have a nibble of Mrs Res squishy bits and taste the honey. She has wonderful flaps jack, and flapjack.
Eww, that's vulgar even for me...

Res is a spendthrift and FB is from Yorkshire.
My guess would be bloody tight with money.

Well, judging from my avatar and FB's SH name, they'd be able not only to climb trees, but nest in them and fly down from them.
They'd only play about in tyres tied to a piece of rope, if the tyre manufacturer's name was spelt correctly on the rim.
If they got into power then the penalty for poor punctation and spelling would be thirty hours of watching Jeremy Kyle, or having live scorpions placed in your trousers for a month.
And as for spendthrift Mr Essex, I'll have you know I've not only forked out for a huge pot of tea for everyone, I've got Bioke munching on my flapjack, FB and NWC nibbling at me ginger nuts and what's more, there's a queue forming outside who want to sample my hobnobs. I'm far from frugal, I don't even know where it is on a map. ;-)

So, do you want Jeremy or the scorpions? lol

Yes, I miss the sometimes controversial debates, look at whats currently on offer in the forums - just silly word games and candy floss "news" articles.
In a recent debate about some islamic fundamentalist tossers demonstrating against our troops marching home through Luton, the thread was suddenly cut short by management, and we were sent a warning saying that some of the links I'd mentioned in the debate might be "offensive" ! offensive to who ? the Taleban perhaps ?!
If the moderator is reading this, don't bother contacting me behind everyone else's back, lets have the discussion in the open here.
Swing sites are entirely dependant on freedom campaigners in the past pushing the envelope - for them to start censoring people is just pathetic and despicable - if you can't take democracy - get another job elsewhere - or maybe members of SH should just take their custom elsewhere if SH have'nt got the integrity to do this.
What are SH scared of ? if they get threats from muslim fundamentalists and their ilk they should just report them to the police.

I don't know what was said in the past thread to be able to comment, however, i have to agree that their is to much censorship that goes on in the interest of "offending other people". Like i said i don't know what was said so I can't comment on that but as long as it's not degrading or racist then i don't see the problem.
I personaly like the contraversial subjects. I know i don't post in the forum often but recently that's been down to the various threads. They just didn't appeal to me. I prefer a good debate over some of the more pink, fluffy stuff that's been on the forum recently.

Swinging site.
Sexual threads.
They don't appeal? Erm... have you tried a political forum? dunno
I find the post above yours offensive. I'm happy to have the controversial threads. I'm not happy having the utter bilge from the daily rags rammed down my throat on a swinging site. If I wanted to read that stuff I'd buy them or I'd visit their website. I don't do either. That is my opinion.
However, I'm equally happy for other people to discuss whatever the hell they like as long as they do it in an adult manner without name-calling and bad manners. :thumbup:
Like I said... who fancies a shag? :rascal:
I don't mind controversial debate, but as others have said, the constant trotting out of the Sun and Mail websites was becoming wearisome. Maybe the newspapers own websites would have been a better place to conduct those particular 'debates' since agreement with the original point of view seemed to be the point of the exercise. Over the last couple of days the forums have begun to look as though they belong to a swingers site rather than a debating society.
I wonder whether this thread was originally intended as a "does anyone miss this particular poster" thread lol
I'm loving the sexual threads that are around at the moment. I'm pretty sure they're what this forum was intended for ;)

lol, Don't get me wrong, I like controversial threads, however, you won't find me quoting any newspapers though (The sun, mail or any other). Their facts are usualy far from fact and more after selling papers!
Yes this is a swinging site so obviously the threads in the forums are going to be more swinging/sex orientaded. I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm just saying I like a good debate now and again. Unfortunately I'm not a big subscriber to networking sites so I enjoy adding my tuppence when they come up on here.
I can appreciate that some people don't like these topics, but to say that they don't belong in the forum, like one of the other posts said, is wrong.
The forum is for everyone on the site to discus many issues over a wide spectrum, be it swinging or not. Surely if you don't like the thread then just move on to the next?
You can't please everyone.
Yes I do fancy a shag and what the fook does ilk mean???
I love a good mix of things. I don't mind controversy and debate. There is room for all in here and all should be embraced.
What is worth mentioning is that the threads that people seem to be disliking and referring to in this topic are in general some of the longer more dicussed and dicussable ones. OK I realise that there are the massive feel good threads such as the "What made you smile today" type ones but hey lets not diminish the popularity according to the numbers of views and posts on a lot of the ones we're talking about on this thread.
The things that I find wholly unacceptable is plain nastiness, overt bitchiness. No one person owns the forum amd the forum is accessible to all and should develope into different things at different times. Whats good for some may not be good for others but its not a battle ground, most will enjoy it at some point. They may have to wait until it turns to their style of posting but it will come

I agree with you. There's nothing wrong with expressing your views. As long as your not being nasty, racist or offensive then whats the problem? Just because it's a swinging site it doesn't mean that everything has to be about sex and other things trivia (i'm not saying sex is trivia there by the way! lol).
There's a wide selection of people on this site and no reason why we can't cater for everyone biggrin
Actually I think even some of these 'lovey/bonding' type threads have ended up being locked, as people eventually began arguing amongst each other.

Don't mind the controversial thread or two.
It's the plonkers who can't hold a civilised argument on them that I don't miss one bit.
Besides there's plenty o' fun to be had hereabouts.
Fancy a shag anyone??

Quote by Resonance
I think we are getting a little muddled here between controversial and just plain rudeness.
I will debate points sensibly with anyone, I will respect their opinion, if they provide me with the same courtesy. This includes controversial issues, or issues that draw strong opinion, such as politics, religion and the recent ones about Jade Goody, which I opted to keep my mouth shut on because I don't do sycophantic pandering.
However it is lovely not to have to read through a tirade of politically motivated, ill-informed, narrow-minded, scare-mongering, badly written, poorly researched, populist, agenda-driven tosh which is then defended only by slagging off the opinions of people who post counter to it, or ignoring those who pick holes in the original argument that is about as convincing as Paul Daniels wig. That to me, isn't controversial, it is just aggravating and shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the process of debate as well as a total lack of respect for the opinion of other posters. It is crass, pointless and simply upsets other folk for the sake of it.
I miss that about as much as I'd miss a dose of the ebola virus, or having to turn down a ticket to the Jeremy Kyle show.
I think some people just like to see some of the more established and, dare I say it, popular members of the forum get their noses put out of joint once in a while. (Cue thread on 'cliques' and 'not fitting in'). I don't come here for all that puerile, childish nonsense. I'd rather hoped it was a more adult environment. Sadly at times in the past, it resembled a school playground with the sullen bullies stirring the trouble and busy pointing the fingers at everyone else.
So I'm absolutely devastated we have starting talking about topics other than what is in the papers, or what a certain tabloid gob-on-legs has said. You never know, all this talk about sex and stuff may mean some of us actually get round to having some, instead of attempting to put the world to rights on a swinging website. Call me naive, but I don't imagine Gordon and Barack's first port of call when they are making policy decisions is the cafe pages of the forum. If you wanted to make your voice heard, there's plenty of respectable websites you can post to, to do that. But I always wondered if that was the motive and I am not so sure it was.
So long live the feckless, the pointless, the sexy, the funny, the informative, the entertaining, the unusual, the weird, the kinky, the daft, the strange and the odd along with the debates about controversial issues, but I would hope that these are actually debates, and not simply slanging matches with a thinly disguised ulterior motive.

Jeez Res, you must type fast. :giggle:

These are my thoughts which, although I wear the mod's jacket, do have a grounding in my previous years of membership.
Controversy is part if the life-blood of the forum. As anyone who's been here for a while can attest, things go through a cycle: One minute it's all warm and cosy with lots of soppy stuff being posted; Next thing all hell breaks out and everyone seems to be at each other's throats. All the time new people are coming in and adding to the mix.
I guess if we'd all been here since the start we'd all know each other well enough to not need mods, but as we haven't there will be periods of friction and occassionally a mod will have to step in. Take it from me though, it ain't an easy balancing act. You have to weigh up the situation against the AUP and try to decide where the line is between letting things continue and protecting the membership and the site.
However, calling that censorship is wrong. It's enforcing the AUP plain and simple. If you ever feel a mod has overstepped that line then just PM Admin. The mods are not employed by the site, and are only here by the permission of the site management. If we don't follow the rules we're more likely to suffer the consequences.
Right then..... on with the fun. Happy Easter and enjoy the chocholate! biggrin

Good!
I think that what I am not missing of late is the dogmatic and intolerant views. I love debate, I just don't like it when debate is just polemic.
Having read his thread initially I did wonder where it would go. Having had time to catch up there are a number of very valid points raised here. Won't go into them all as I can't type as much or as fast as Res.
Thre important point of threads is communication. It's an opportunity to express ones veiws and opinions to many others, perhaps with a view to provoking a response.
Quite agree that political and religious subjects and tabloid views be expressed elsewhere.
One of the many things I enjoy about the forum is the wide range of subjects, ideas, and fun activities that happen here.
Oh! before I go just a quick reference to sex. DG and Frecklebird, I'd love a shag too. biggrin

Yup... controversy is great, I love that people have such wide and diverse opinions on stuff and especially when it's close to the bone.
I've been thinking about doing a fantasy thread for a while and that falls right into that category but it's very difficult to write it to provoke a discussion without upsetting anyone.
The newspaper articles I can do without but as you say if I don't like it I don't need to read the thread or indeed the article. To me, if you want to discuss a subject that's in the news then that's absolutely fine, knock yourself out but take the time to write the thread properly and give your opinion, don't just post a link to the rag that has covered the story and expect everyone to agree. If someone feels strongly about something then they should make the effort to discuss it properly and not rely on some eejit from the daily rag to speak for you. To me that just shows a total lack of ability to debate and discuss.
I miss Kenty because although he drives me mental sometimes I like that he has odd views because it makes this place that wee bit more exciting. However, he needs (and I'm sure he knows this) to be able to debate and discuss and appreciate that just because other people disagree, it doesn't make them wrong. wink
Now... about that shag... :giggle:
Although I'm really quite liking the stripping idea... how about it?! :rascal:
