Jesus wept what has happened to this board. I've been coming on here for more years than i care to remember, mainly just to read and sometimes taking part in conversations but it was always a place to lift the spirits and enjoy conversations with other Boro fans.
Of late it has become nothing more than a school playground with grown men playing games and battling over the most petty arguments, trying to get one over on each other when really they should just send each other pics of their knobs, decide who's is biggest and move on.
I'm fortunate enough not to have any issues with my mental health but I can really see how people spending time on here that do have problems would find it a fairly depressing place to be.
Come on fellas lets get this board back to the enjoyable and welcoming place to be where people don't feel as though any comment or contribution will be pounced upon and ripped apart by the pack.
Rant over.. Teesste out
I totally understand your point, but hiding from problems is rarely the answer, but you're very welcome not to read posts about them? Just avoid any thread that mentions brexit or the pandemic and you should be mostly safe.
It's not petty arguments, that's the point, the restrictions (which most are for, and defending, for now) are saving lives, and would have saved more lives if done sooner last year, you don't get anything less petty than that.
Life can be depressing, especially in depressing times, especially when we have some of the most depressing things happening. The thing is, by facing the problem, it would have been solved or at least limited earlier, hiding from it and delaying actions is what has cost us massive amounts of death.
Highly emotive topics will lead to highly emotive defence and even attack, it's the nature of the subject, and the subjects which are the most newsworthy will always have threads posted.
I'm looking forward to this pandemic beating over/ mostly over, it's doing all our heads in, some more than others, but it doesn't mean people have to shy away from debate.
Maybe ask Rob if you can start a d*ck pic thread?
