It wouldnt hurt to delete this thread, its hurting this otherwise great forum.
Yep my thoughts exactly! it was always going to end up this way
Anyway many thanks for your positive comment about the forum!!
As for deleting this thread - well it's kind've on death row!! we'll see if it can settle down or it'll get the chop
Oh and to visitors to this forum who hadn't popped in to see this vitriol - I apologise, please don't give up on the place!! because some do not respect others as most do
I'm sorry! I promise I did (perhaps naively) make the thread with good intentions. Was (and am) genuinely interested in who people will support to represent their area. Did get some civilised replies which I'm thankful for, but a shame others clearly wanted to rise to the bait and stir up trouble and turn it into a left v right debate and sling personal attacks on topics miles away from a local council election. Not many Cardiff forums out there so I thought maybe this would be a great place to actually get some useful local insight, just a shame that a few just wanted to hijack it to push their own agenda and in the process just repel others from wanting to voice their own opinions. Such a shame that people just cannot control themselves and have a productive, respectful discussion anymore without descending into a shouting match.
And yes, this otherwise a
fantastic forum! Just a shame a small but loud minority have to embarrass themselves and the forum as a whole. If you want to lock the thread now I completely understand, pretty sure anyone wanting to voice their opinion has been turned off by now and I wouldn't want to be responsible for anyone thinking poorly of this forum.
