Antrim Shooting thread.

I have removed that thread having had a look through it today. Some of the comments on there were brutal, and some of the comments aimed at Donagh in particular are out of order.

I don't think anyone has 'defended' the murders, thank God, but some of the comments were out of order. If you can't disagree without getting out of hand, all of these political threads will be pulled.

Good move.

Exactly why I didn't contribute to it. Too heated.

Alright DC. That's enough now.

Leave it go Donagh. I don't think anyone who looked at that thread again would say that you claimed him as a friend. As for the PSNI officer, I don't see the big deal.

But there's no point getting into it again. I've PM'ed about this issue, and if it comes up again, I'll have to start handing out bans.

Any chance of creating a politics and current affairs section for this sort of discussion?

Politics threads are welcome here, as long as they are debated sensibly and rationally. That thread was neither.

If Political threads descend into mud slinging, insults, innuendos and the likes of what was in there, then every one of them will be deleted. 'Tis up to yourselves..

You go down that route and you'll have ones asking for a soccer section, travel section Tony Fearon section, TV section etc.....
Not good for the board.

I take your point regarding keeping everything non-gaa in the one place, but it would keep a number of posters that i and others dont enjoy reading (out of the many on here) in the one section.

Never have i seen someone post as much bullshit on this board than Double Cross did on that thread.

It was as abravise a thread as I ever did see - made the Cork hurling thread dispute look like one big happy family.

Double Cross · March 09, 2009, 06:02:38 PM

Maybe I have got it wrong, but I dont think so called Republicans should be socialising with members of the crown forces.

Bullshit on the Gaa Board? Surely a first. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Surely you'll be banning previously banned members who've re-registered???
