Request to gh : keep this forum open for coupla extra days ?

But that forum operates under the old rules, so please be aware of a required change in attitude when posting.

Oh man, that's a short time to have to learn how to be civil again. I was just getting the hang of that INcivility thang!! How many banishments will we see before everyone gets the hang of the new-old rules again?

Enjoy your last few hours of incivility, one and all.

All in all I thought this was quite a civil forum. Conrgrats to all . . .

I agree - there's been more incivility on a "Wariner should do the 800" or an "Alan Webb: Discuss" thread. Even when we've disagreed we've mostly disputed the facts or interpretation of the facts rather than descending to insults. It's been fun.

Maybe we should go "rogue" on gh, and make him ban us all

So we open the "Banned on T&FN,com" message board? We could have all opposite guidelines. You MUST troll, be rude, discuss politics & religion, accuse everyone of DRUGS!

Sounds like my old athletics club in the pub of a Thursday night after training.

Hammy, if you thought this forum was civil, it was because you were on the majority side.

from the guy who doesn't believe athletics fans are capable of discussing politics

i cannot understand your stance

either you believe :

1) athletics fans are incapable of political debate

2) politics shoud only be discussed by a "higher" form of intellectual life which you have not deigned to inform us of ( obviously if someone used the handle "kissinger" or "mcnamara" you'd be creaming yourself to read every post here )

3) you wish to censor free speech

4) you are not intellectually capable of discussing politics with athletics' fans

How about: 5) this is a T&F site, if any of us feels the urge to discuss politics, there are plenty of other places to go to.

I could NOT agree more!

I think the bottom line here is- Are you willing to forgive your fellow track nuts for being completely wrong on politics?

Let me start. All you idiots who dont have a clue, i forgive you , i really do. Peace out dog.
