Yep even the gaffer had to step in and rap knuckles (not an american music star by the way)
Does EVERY thread on here end up in a row?

You lot wanna try the Coventry City forum. With everything going on at the club fans have nothing to do but argue. Even the most inane thread will end up 10-20 pages long and it's all arguing about nonsense.

Is this the five minute argument thread, or the full half hour...
I'm always amazed by the certainty with which opinions are expressed. This or that 'definitely' helped my scores, distance etc etc.
Apart from manufacturers distance claims (ironically, but they are tested on robots), nothing in our golf can ever be remotely provable, but reading the the threads here I find myself constantly thinking 'really?, how you know? Oh, so it only works when it works? etc etc. I think it can be a bit of a red rag to a bull when someone is spouting this sort of stuff.

I think the simple answer is that it is an internet forum. And they are all mostly the same, whether people be discussing golf, cricket, hifis or what is the best bad boy exhausts on a souped up Vauxhall Corsa. People have different personalities and some people are naturally argumentative, may be even frustrated due to their day to day life/work/marriage/current standard of golf. And the anonymity of an internet forum is a easy way to unleash those arguments or off load some vitriol at times.
To be fair there have been some spectacularly stupid statements made on here (often in the out of bounds section, IMHO of course) and others have picked them up on it and challenged them, either using sarcasm or vitriol.
To me it's more pettiness than the all out abuse that is the worst (yes I know, pot, kettle, black), as the abuse often gets clamped down on pretty well by he mods. And some people can't just let it lie (not you again Mr kettle).

The main problem is that one poster will say A, another will argue that it's B.
Then they will continue to argue A B A B B A A B A....
Saying the same thing over and over again rarely results in the B camp deciding that OK, it's A
I belong to a curtain making forum, and have never read a thread arguing about Herringbone stitch versus Blind stitch.

I bet you get 'drawn' into a few arguments though
They probably know where to Draw the line though, wont argue blind about stuff. Just tie them selves back and watch the posts drop.
I am pretty sure there wont be many exPLEATives though...
Is that your 'closing' argument?

I hold my hands up as being someone who has strong opinions on certain topics and it will not be easy to change my views (although not impossible).
Something I try very hard not to do is make personal insults or ridicule those with a different view(Probably most people). It can be very hard here at times though as some do revert to name calling if you disagree with them.

yes, otherwise it will loop around and around. net issue is people coming in after going out on the sash all night and then coming home and going on liner.
Yeah I know, it always comes off the rails then, but you can't help getting hooked and then swish, your in full mode again

With the squad he had up until January we were looking like hitting the playoffs even after a 10 point deduction, but we sold our joint top striker and the other one got injured in January and we struggled to stay in the league.
