People that get interviewed on the news and don’t want to be identified so they blurr their faces out a little bit and film them from every angle. Anyone that knows them must be able to recognise them. Why don’t they just not show them.

Internet outage across the city.. bit of a pain as I need an executive decision today to start stuff moving.
Plus why don’t the service providers have back up plans for failures??

I thought that once the golf returned the nonsense on the forum would stop , seems it’s increased .

Looks like the forum is just dominated by a few posters , certainly not a good look for any new posters arriving , especially ones from an ethnic minority

Are you suggesting the forum has some racist undertones?

I wasn’t suggesting anything

What the forum right now reminds me off is those snobby members golf clubs where committee members rule the place with an iron rod and there are the old stayers that can say what they want , do what they want and it appears anyone with middle thinking is drowned out by the loud far right and left.

Everything that is bad about golf is being displayed all over the place. I’m glad people looking to take up the game don’t use this place for a reference. Some great Facebook groups which are very open and welcoming.

It’s quite clearly not , read the political threads , read the threads about the recent issues with racism - it may look open and welcome if on the inside but it’s clear looking at those threads that there is a very dominant area within the spectrum.

I come on here mainly for the golf - I will pop in on the other threads every so often but that's about it.

if you don't like it then leave or don't visit those threads

That’s 2 areas you are using to judge the whole forum! The forum is a reflection on real life, ie, people with different views, different experiences etc, filled with some great people.

It’s two very prominent areas and indeed threads of the forum is it not ? I suspect it gives a very fair reflection of what people would see
