Years ago, here on BE, there was a lot more fisticuffs but I see in more recent years it's been 5 blokes arguing - 1 in particular.

WiIth BLM, woke, in the "post- Me too" era - do we all have an understanding of what triggers us? Come on, let's get back to the fisticuffs - I mean debate. Cheers

Who me? Not really interested in BLM to be fair. In most western countries everyone has been given the opportunities to make a go. Where BLM started even more so. No private schooling or class system. Every life matters.

How's Melbourne mate. I am feeling fot you guys down there. Every week I am on calls with clients and colleagues in Melbourne. I can feel the motivation declining?

Good mate, not talking about you....BTW...

I see there is a distinct lack of fisticuffs now... ho ho - or debate.... !!

I think people are scared to debate on this subject, one of the reasons may be that if your thoughts are not the same as the current way of thinking then you might be labelled as not a nice person or worse.

There was plenty of that on this forum back in the day - I was wondering if we were updated for the new 'woke' era..... tee heee

Let's close the thread eh.....

There's no shortage of woke and outrage threads on Take It Outside if you're looking for a bit of keyboard warrioring.

Edit: ...Just make sure read the "sticky" at the top of that group first

Some people just need to be told, and that's only right, but why anyone would actively seek out a row is beyond me.

there's been a bit of an upturn in posting lately, largely because one dickhead has wound his neck in a fair bit. Bit of a laugh, bit of banter and convey your point of view without being a prick, it ain't hard.

You're home! Hope everything's going well and you don't miss the job/place too much

it's been a bit odd settling back in, I've been very conscious of not steaming in and doing things my way, and it seems to be working. Bit of a get together last night, lots to celebrate we're in a good place as a family at the moment and it's lovely

Great to hear Steve
