One thing has struck me like a bolt of lightning about these forums.

"Sides"

It seems to all be about taking "sides". In singular, independent arguments - fine. All arguments, more or less, basically have 2 or so sides.

But there seems to be some kind of running thing. Like some pathetic mass of playground kiddies.
Past confrontations lead to future side-taking, no matter the argument in the fray.

It's really, really stupid. And I really don't think very many people can claim not to have done this. Hell, I certainly know *I* can't.

So why can't everyone just get along, and take each subject/argument for what it is, and not take preducial sides?

Fribble.

You are joking?! All three of us have posted tonight!

I feel obligated to try and keep the IQ of the forum up.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
