Sometimes it's best not to. Differing opinions will just mean it becomes a discussion and emotive issues often spiral into unpleasantness.

As a member, I don't feel I can say what I truly think on these subjects as it's not going to go down well but those who disagree or dislike my opinions or how I come across are entitled to have their say too and it will just run on. Hence I bump this in the hope things just move on.

It reminds me of my management days. You appeal for everyone to get on but if they can't, you wheel out the disciplinary procedures because at the end of the day you have to get along. If you can't you keep it to yourself or find another job.

To be honest, this is a very lenient forum. There are advantages & disadvantages to that.

I hope that's a balanced comment, it's not meant to point to anyone.
