Balance people. I'm sure none of this would have happenned if the "Official Lostock Spam Thread" was not closed. We'd all still be a happy bunch.

Hi Robby, I'm with you. I'm a bit of a novice to online forums, and it's a learning experience for me as well no doubt as many others, as to where the boundaries and social niceties as to what's acceptable and what's not should lie. IIS is bringing together a very diverse group of people with an enormous range of life perpectives and experience so it's inevitable that there will be different attitudes and opinions on this. Tend to think General Chat is just that and can't imagine why anyone would care what people post in there and so passionately in some cases. Think you hit the nail of the head - YOU DON"T HAVE TO READ THEM. A bit o' fun, a bit o' fact, live and let live and all o' that.
cheers,
