The State of the Forum

[Gibo]

This is simply my observation of late, and I cant pretend to understand how those so far affected by the new laws are feeling, as I am not yet impacted financially.

It seems to me that the majority of new threads in this place are expressions of anger, distaste, angst, frustration, hate (the list goes on) towards the government, the PM, most if not all MPs, police, the public and pretty much everyone to be fair.

The bulk of them are a copy and paste of links to questionable media outfits reporting on questionable stories that spark some excessive comments (mine included), and some outright disgusting comments that I doubt would be said in person.

While at a time like this politics of some form needs to be put on the table, my personal view is this place is getting very toxic and I wonder if it is due to the amount of politics (some very extreme views on display) some are ranting on about, half the time not related to the firearm law changes at all.

Is there a way to get back on track or is this place doomed to become a political dumping ground?
