Jesus. A few points that I hope you’ll understand from my perspective.
* nobody shut anything down - I can’t even remember the last hidden post in this thread.
* This is a football forum. A place where people come for football and other banter. Intense heavy discussions do seem out of place for a forum like this, surely. Keep it at least vaguely light.
With all due respect you are saying you are not shutting anything down but then in the next line you issue a thinly veiled threat about what is ok and what is not ok to discuss. Hmmmm.
For one I don't think these discussions are "heavy", quite the opposite: I enjoy hearing other peoples points of view.
I realise moderating is difficult so I am quite happy to offer my services for moderating this thread 24/7 :-) set me up bro!
