Things haven't changed much after all!

Oh dear, having been away for quite a while and just recently come back, I was hoping that CT would have settled down a bit, and become a much happier place.

But no, its still populated by several who just love to argue. It dosen't matter what about, lets just be as arguementataive as possible score points, and try to belittle any one who you don't agree with.

Sadly several of the relatively new contributors are giving distinct signs of being the new trolls that I thought we might have got to go away.

Luckily being one of the old ***s I have been there before and my T shirt is quite worn out, so I'm not too worried about what abuse any of you want to chuck this way. But I will say this.

I have been a member of this club since the very early days, and I consider CT to be a very positive factor in the clubs continued success.  But the constant arguements and the attempts to put others down is not the way to hold any debate. The ability to put your point forward without rancour, sarcasm or sheer abuse is the mark of a proper well balanced person.  That does not require a private education or anything like that,  spelling is not the ultimate test I know that mine can let me down sometimes. I was a product of the secondary modern system but even I can appreciate the need to put an argement forward constructively.

Common Guys lets keep CT on the right track. Keep the lid on it!

I agree and most of the "banter" fired at the few, is just to let them know a sidestep is normally a way of hiding their real ideas

Others on here cannot accept that many of us do like club sites and have to turn to insults to get their point across. Those that dare, in their eyes, to like the club are called  members of the CC fan club, too timid to go anywhere else, warden worshippers, or sycophantic. These posters when lost for a good counter argument resort to insults.

As poeple have posted it is very a poor reflection on them, I cannot undertand their game plan, is it to bully people off CT?

The only 'new' thing is their forum name TF Laughing

 

Thats quite an accusation but serious if true, could you name them?

Yes I could name them. 

However I'm a fairly infrequent visitor nowadays due to the issues outlined in TFs OP as well as the sniping, the constant off topic trolling of posts, the monopolisation of threads by certain posters who just have to have the last word and I see little point in doing so. 

It's up to the forum manager

This forum doesn't pick and choose who can post on CT ,(unless they ban you), so we have people who have different opinions on subjects which we have to accept to keep the flow of the forum going

There are caravan forums i know of that do pick and choose the members who can join ,and wonder if that makes for healthy debate if all the members are all like minded????

There's a broad spectrum of membership and views on forums that aren't affiliated to clubs Husky. Plenty of healthy but respectful debate goes on.

Good post Jay, TF felt the need to start this thread(rightly so) due to problems on here, other none affiliated Forums seem to manage to negate CT's issues by carefully weeding out undesirables before they start creating the atmosphere that happens on CT.
