Politics Threads on a Cycling Forum

[Drago]

Conversely, can you think of anything else, other than a love of cycling that could bring such a diverse group of opinionated, ugly, rude, objectionable, argumentative and just plain awkward group of reprobates together in one place?

And that's just the inhabitants of the Retirment Thread.

It’s a cafe section with in a cycling forum.

If you get a bunch of scaffolders in Starbucks then they sit there talking about women and football. It’s the same principle in the CC cafe.

If you want chat about cycling only then just go to the cycling sections then if the forum.

That’s me DEFINITELY told then!

It helps keep people engaged who have seen and discussed almost every cycling topic under the sun and want a break (sometimes quite a long break) from the subject, but are comfortable here.

Or put another way: a saddle is a nice place to sit and discuss other things.

Not sure about that saddle,
and those cranks only work after you’ve had a few

Anyway, the forum now has subfora for all sorts of things. Pets, cookery, DIY and what have you.

I await a subforum for pets in politics.

Well it is a cycling forum after all!

....if you say so. Most people On here are really keen to talk about cycles.

And many are keen to talk about many other things, which makes it a ‘community’ of cyclists...

 

[Fab Foodie]

Which sums up the majority of members on here.

Welcome!

And politics has its own forum it would seem, so those who wish to can debate and argue their supremely intelligent and superior points there can’t they?

Yes they can. And your point is caller?

I would hope that political discussion was open to all, not just the supremely intelligent. We've seen the mess when those with Oxford degrees are left in charge of the political agenda.

That is a hangover from the old politics section which is no longer active. News and Current Affairs is rather less combative.

In answer to your original question, people on here want to chat about all kinds of things and that includes what's in the news and what rot our politicians are talking. Therefore there is a section for it.

If you don't wish to see the News and Current Affairs section, open that forum and click on "ignore forum" at the top right of the screen.

Just delete the thread. Sorry I spoke.

I'll lock it since the question has been answered.
