Sid why do you think ybig is the perfect forum to wage your war against the rise of the far right in Ireland.  Why is the ybig forum the ideal avenue for that war.  Surely there are other places that this could take place.  Presumably you were concerned before the restrictions came into place.  Did you join any anti fascist groups and go on any protests or did you debate on football forums about fascism. 

Off the top of my head I would say you have mentioned the rise of the far right in at least 10-15 threads on here.  Any tenuous connection and it is mentioned.  Hence why many long time posters and have decided feic this for a game of soldiers I couldn’t be arsed going on there as the whatever section was far better when it was a switch off from real life and it was just banter and sl*gging etc.  

Most people came on ybig I would think to get away from the real life and have a bit of banter.  Many deal with serious topics in their every day life and deal with these issues personally and professionally and the last thing they want is them to appear on every 2nd thread on here.  

I suspect you would somehow shoe horn fascism into one of trAndys cracking threads or Q mans Dundalk rant or poor muffs lock up your daughters post.

I've posted here for a decade so why on earth wouldn't I post my opinions here?

The sum total of your problem seems to be "I don't like your posts", even though you can't explain why

I don't think very much of your posts but I'm not calling for you to be banned

Bizarre tantrum throwing stuff from you 

There's a fierce bang of that Limmy sketch "Smart Casual" off you with your constant invocation of "banter"

Not my problem if your banter bus has blown a gasket

I didn’t call for you to be banned.  

I suspect in a few months time when we are debating who starts at centre back for Ireland against Portugal that there will be some mention of the far right or gas lighting or putinism or another one of your cliches and hobby horses. 

If you want to save the world, go and do it rather than wasting your superior intelligence to everyone else in Ireland, on ybig.  As I said it’s pissing against the wind nonsense and will achieve nothing other than driving numerous posters away.

For a post that complains about cliches - which I specifically steer clear of incidentally - that's an awfully cliched post

It could barely get more cliched

I'm not talking about Level 5 restrictions or anything to do with that. But a life online debating with fools isn't a good way to be spending your days, and will achieve very little.

In fairness Baldrick, there doesnt have to be a perfect outcome with an end goal to every discussion, or the need to apply the perfection of action to it. Think about it this way, why bother discussing Irish team selection, when it is unlikely Stephen Kenny or any of his predecessors came on here, or ever took advice from anything posted on here. The chances are the tangible impact of our discussions is nil, and it has as much weight as screaming our views into a void. But that's not why we do it.

Ditto in the 'Whatever' section. It may not change the course of political history, or even influence one voter, but that may not be the point, nor does it have to be.

That's fair enough.  Maybe we just need a thread called the far right so because it is infiltrating far too many other threads.  The place has become far too earnest.  My prediction is that a few more right wing nut jobs will come onboard as a reaction to Sids shouting at a cloud.

That’s the point.  Far too many are being turned into political threads.
