I use both,I like the away end on the BBS ( love giving it to the weed-).
That said just my personal view I find the HOL friendlier.

Even more so now the little clique of left wing chums have departed.
Suddenly a lot of things become clear when you find out who knows who outside of the HOL.
There are a lot of chippy and bitter people on the BBS. Even more now.

Now that the comrades appear to have defected, is it possible to admit that I am an elderly Conservative voter who doesn't spit on street sleepers, paint swastikas on synagogues, stand outside Labour conference venues with placards saying "Hang the filthy lefty scum", advocate public hangings, and so on and so forth. If so, blessed relief!

Presumably I will not get a spat of bile and malice as they have loftily refused any further interaction with the racist and vile rightist swine (especially Peter Guntrip) who spread their evil doctrines under the guise of football supporting sites?

Only joking, mods!

Or perhaps most of the people that disagreed with you are no longer here so your views can be ‘offered’ unchallenged. Too much hassle having to justify those strong views Hrolf?

yup. Precisely the reason i prefer the HOL. Its more civilised, grown-up, mannerly and polite. The BBS seems to be flooded with bickering spotty 12 year olds and Old Trotski-ite looney lefties convinced that everybody else is wrong.

I had a proclivity to stay well clear of the 'Politics' threads indeed in recent times never took the trouble to even peruse them.

The views I would have expressed would have been the polar opposite to those who have now defected to the BBS and as sure as night follows day, the debates would have disintegrated into tedious and sometimes odious WILLO threads with bile and opprobrium not only de-railing the threads but being a poor substitute for sensible and reasonable debate.

Outside of HOL I enter into a number of political discussions (Far too often as far as my wife is concerned !) so I have been happy to give them the good old "Body swerve" on HOL and not dignify some of the comments by providing a response.

I was pointed in the direction of HoL without knowing of the BBS and stayed. I spend too much work time on here, the last thing I need is another site to waste time on.

I (now) know way more people who post on the BBS but I quite like that most of the people on here are strangers.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Well at least I'm not the school playground stirrer eh Maple.

I won't rise to this nonsense. If you knew anything about me you would know that I don't duck an argument.
What I do object to is idiots who just want to close down debates with name calling or those who go running to the mods becuse someone had the cheek to disagree with them.

Buzzing that you say that and then immediately follow it with "spotty 12 year olds and Old Trotski-ite looney lefties".

Self-awareness = zero.

A bit different to directly tearing people to shreds with no holds barred personal insults from all angles.
