Fine and if you are also prepared to see their side as well then you have my respect.

I think we are all. The issue always comes when someone doesn't actually present a side. I would love someone to convince me I'm wrong. Would love to be able to enjoy living in the country of my birth again. It has just proven difficult

RIGHT! This is my last post on here.
Probably.
Goodbye cruel world, you've never understood how certain posters are out of hand and bullying me....
I'm leaving now.....
....ish
No. no. it doesn't matter how much you ask me to stay or how many of you say I'm great
...but do keep trying, won't you.....
right, last, final post ever.....
maybe, sort of....
(repeat, ad nauseum)

I am a remainer, but I'd say that previous poster made a fair assessment. Remainers much more likely to call the other side thick/racist/gammon/bigot on here.
Also a shame that ST can't take the hint from the OP, and let it go a bit.

I'm not insulting anyone. Not looking for an argument. Just stating my point. I'm willing to meet people halfway.

You most certainly are not, nor was there a reason for you to enter a comment in a dialogue between me and another poster.
Fair enough, if you are genuinely not looking for arguments, or trying to be antagonistic! That said, "More Brexit good news" as a thread title, followed by "Britain is losing its grip on Gibraltar".... certainly seems somewhat inflammatory!
(As I've told you before, I'm a Remainer, and was pretty gutted when we voted to leave... but those endless types of threads don't seem to lead anywhere)!
You don't come across in your posting as being willing to meet people halfway, but if you genuinely are, then that's good

Yeah I know it doesn’t come across well but that reflects my frustration. You know my beliefs on Brexit and I may seem confrontational but I don’t mean to. I genuinely want to be convinced that I’m over reacting, I’m happy with good news, I’ve even shared Brexit good news myself. I just wish there were more of itFair enough, if you are genuinely not looking for arguments, or trying to be antagonistic!

And this for me is where the issues arise: when posters state their opinions as fact with the implication being if you don't agree with me, then you're in the wrong
The topics are not really the problem here, its easy to read out of interest but not engage, or simply skip past and not read at all. The issue I have is with the style/tone/underlying inferences of some posts, call it what you will

I know it's not a consolation, regarding you wanting to enjoy living in your country again, but IMO Covid has massively added to those negative feelings. Being locked up so much like we have been, it's very easy to focus on negative issues.
I am very much hoping that when things start to open up a bit, and we can all emerge from our boxes... that life can get back to being a bit more enjoyable!
Yes, I've noticed that you are pretty frustrated, but it COULD yet be a success. It's going to take time though. I can't really argue that at the moment there are more obvious downsides, when you hear about exports to Europe dropping 40% and so on... but things like that will likely bounce back.

ST has said he will, this thread is about understanding the division on this board and starting afresh!

I hope you’re correct. I’m genuinely at the point where I would leave if I could at the moment. Family commitments mean I can’t but on a personal level I no longer want to live here. Let’s see what happens this year..

That’s quite condescending mate. Do I suppose from that, that you assume anyone who voted to leave blindly follows what’s in the mainstream press??

They are, because it's true in some cases, certainly not all cases, but definitely some. I don't think I've ever seen a post where someone is saying all or even most leavers are thick or racist though, as those comments would be very far from the truth. But most make a big point in saying "SOME" are, and more than remainers would be, trying to be very clear that it does not apply to all.
It's just about understanding probabilities, you can't lump everyone in together, but the probabilities do change with age/ class/ upbringing/ education.
ST highlights brexit problems, which is fine, as there are loads of brexit problems, and new ones each week, ignoring the problems won't make them go away, but people can always click ignore or not read the brexit/ politics threads. I personally like them, as I think it's good to know the most recent goings-on, with regards to brexit and good to see other points of view. There seems to be plenty of people willing to debate on the leave side and it brings traffic to the site, which helps prop up other threads.

If you believe google a bellicose argument is: argumento belicoso.What are both words in Spanish?
That'll get the brain cells moving.
The stick an o or an a on the end of it rule works again (o for masculine words and a for feminine words).
