It is extraordinary that people on social media have celebrated the violent murder of a 78-year-old woman. |
Depressing and regrettable, certainly, but hardly ‘extraordinary’ given the nature of the beast. | | | |

The comical thing here, some people always have to have the last word rather than look at themselves and say 'Yep, I've been guilty of that' and move on.
Think Hollywood is spot on, use the ignore button, or hide thread. In truth I have not had to use it too much since a certain Elbow departed but it is still useful nonetheless.
And I think I have said before, one day (although I hope it never comes) Clive will think I am done - I don't need this s**t and we will all be losers as a result
A long term friend of mine on FB posted RIP about Anne Widecombe and some of his friends went into meltdown and started verbally abusing each other. I added to the post pointing out they were posting on someone else's FB post and to show a little respect, and I was greeted with 'Well they started it' - I mean don't 10 year olds behave like that not bloody full-grown adults. We do live in a strange world nowadays  |
I've never felt the need to have the last word. | |

It's not a competition. I was just saying that I'm not the sort of person who has to have the last word. | |

As I only read about fifty per cent of posts, I often have no idea if anyone has replied to my drivel. | |

Pathetic is the word I would use.
Social media though is make believe. People find some alter ego to big themselves up. Attracts the playground bullies - best avoided for reasons of sanity.... |  |

A few points, admittedly after a nice night on the Riesling out here in Vienna.
Diggswell, don't worry about it, nothing to do with you. It should be possible to post 'RIP Anne Widdicombe' without it descending into that. Unfortunately it's not.
It should also be possible for me to go away in the summer without this message board descending into that. Unfortunately, 20 years in, it seems it's also not.
Politics, online discourse, right v left, social media. It's very aggy. It's ruining our politics and our society, IMO. It's making us stupider, collectively. And easier to persuade, manipulate, rule and lie to.
We took a decision a while ago to just not do politics on LFW any more, because every thread went the same way, everybody thought the same as they did at the start, people fall out, it's not worth the aggro. After Covid, Brexit, Boris, Corbyn... we all basically know now what political persuasion every regular poster here leans towards. Do we need to thrash that out again every time an issue comes up? Oh, turns out Poster X has taken exactly the political stance on this issue that they have on every other political issue that's ever been raised here... what a fcking surprise.
There are plenty of places on the internet where you can go and discuss that stuff, and this place IMO should be a place where we just do football, music, TV, films, popular culture, how do I fix my fridge, does anybody know a plumber in West Drayton etc.
Every summer, or every time there's a big election, I think oh maybe I'll let that slide a bit and see how we go, and every time I do it ends up like that.
Things to remember
- we are all QPR fans
- it is just a message board
- we're all grown (very grown in most cases on here) adults, we should probably know better by now
- we do not call each other cnts, on this message board, ever. However much we're wound up, however much we disagree. There has to be that level of respect for each other's views.

I was in total agreement with you, until I read the reisling bit. Each to their own etc., but I found myself going, 'Clive, you caaan't'. Or something like that
Bang on fella, some of what was said was dreadful. |  |
