Talk about extremism - the boards are cyber refuge for nutters at the moment.
You can't be a moderate, you're either a left-wing, PC, gay loving, yoghurt knitting, tree hugging namby pamby or you're a Muslim hating, flag waving, BNP supporting right-winger.
I thought such political polarisation went out the window in the early nineties. There are people who think that just because half a dozen nutters blew up some bombs on 7/7 last year that all Muslims are AK-47 carrying terrorists. There are others who are bending over so far backwards to present a balanced view they must be able to kiss their own arses and then there's the left-wing which is basically everybody else who doesn't fall into the other two groups. Oh and if you are left-wing and proud of this country you are viewed with suspicion, you must be proud for ironic or revisionist purposes.

There are a few 'normal' threads twixt the dross and the dregs but I limit my posts these days...ages since I had a good ding-dong debate (argument) on the MB.
I have bursts of posting on the boards, sometimes I keep and eye on what's happening. It's funny but most of the people who were 'regulars' when I first started don't get involved much - that includes yourself, David, Six, Gavin, Shy. Augustus seems to be like me, goes missing for a while and then posts loads.
I prefer to slag you off through the comments sections on the blogs Span. More scope for the creative use of invective, I find!
