We seem to be in the death-throes of the (rather exciting) message-board culture which promised so much at the beginning of the last decade. The tail now wags the dog, as debate and discussion takes on various versions of "You are a moron!" It's a pity that it all turned out like this.

So true David. This used to be a great discussion board but every post now ends up with abuse and name calling.

Yes it seems to be the place for little boys to throw tonka trucks at each other in the sand pit.

All political boards are like this , unless they are run by the left, in which case half the membership are banned and the other half agrees with everything everyone else says

Garfield, the right-wing blogs (like Tim Blair's) are exactly the way you have described the left-wing ones. Oddly enough, one of the most tolerant blogs is Bob Ellis.' Very left-wing, but comparatively civilized.

Because I can definitely name at least one rightie Liberal voting little boy who has been suspended from this group for 48 hours recently for nasty, boofhead behaviour. The culprit has even posted in this thread and more than once too.

And remember, these little boys never address the topic of discussion but only come on the thread to denigrate and hurl their usual cries of "racism" and "muslim bashing" or whatever.

It serves no purpose blaming any indivuals or one side of the Left/Right divide. That only starts the whole thing up again.

What started as a humourus thread has degenerated into more of the same ol' stuff caused by the RW demographic...named Stellar and Jody.

I think it would al help if the right whingers were not so dumb, so block-headed and so incapable of seeing the world with a high degree of objectivity. Perhaps they are either so bound up with ideology, which could substitue for critical thinking, or have a rather perverted concept of moral worth or little sense social responsibilty in a democratic society.

Take a look, everyone, at the thread Does Garfield get his lame brain from Truss?Seven posts from four members, including both a right-winger and the Board's self-styled intellectual giant, all throwing tonkas at each other. Absolutely pitiful.

David, I am sure you would agree that I, at least, unlike so many others, post as the epitome of charity and always argue with kindness in resect to those with whom I have to virulently disagree..........

Yes, Geo, even when you resort to your beloved fecal imagery, you do it with panache and style. Let's hope that everyone on your side of politics will follow your excellent example. I notice that Earl and Sonex also argue courteously from the Left. It's not that hard, everyone.

Trying to intellectualise the Newstalkback sandpit has been tried before and its like analyzing and writing a 10,000 word theisis on why a dog turd stinks when you tread in it....it simply does, don't worry about it as the RW are dumb as dog shit anyway and in debate are only good for practising your sledging skills..wot more needs to said..

Thank you David but I do hope you were referring to me with some sense of irony...I do not think I should be taken too seriously!!!!!!!!!!
