I suspect i may get some stick over this post,in my defence i would say that it is not even meant as constructive criticism,but rather a heart felt plea,for this has become my fav racing forum,and recently i feel we are getting a little off track.
I understand the strong feelings which can be evoked by political or current affairs,and the need to post opinion indeed i have made my views known on these threads,but not at the cost of posting about racing subjects.
There are many current affairs and political forums on the web,but none to my knowledge whose members spend a lot of thier time posting about horse racing.With regards to this forum my fear is that with a general election coming this situation could get worse.
There are so many people on this forum who have so much of interest to offer about horse racing,and i feel it is a great pity when they get diverted into other subjects at the expense of the former.
I will close by saying i hope you will feel able to consider this post in the spirit it was intended. cheers.
