Middle ground forum?

So, over at Singletrack we've got forum topics praising scum like Raoul Moat as a hero, and numerous topics covering the purchase, sale or use of illegal drugs, and here, at the opposite end of the spectrum we've got posts decrying that most deplorable acts of wanton evil, 'skidding'.

Is there a middle ground forum out there somewhere? :lol:

  • The commuter forum, they talk of beating up drivers, but to balance it, some of them shave their legs (and its not just the girls!)

    Go to Forum Index and trawl, there is a place that Topics like this belong.
    However, we'll never praise Raul Moat but our main areas of interest are Rhyl, limes, strings and the fairer sex in ditches with their heads facing backwards

    Topic titles, sure, but how many people actually doing it?

    Where's the Raoul Moat praise on STW? I've not seen that.

    Want to get in on a bit of that.

    Joke. But I've not seen the threads. Don't tend to go into the Chat Forum much I must say.

    IIRC there was a thread called "Raoul Moat is a legend", which was full of people saying "**** off, no he isn't, he's a c**t. Gazza's a legend though."
