    The issue of cable discussions being plagued by objectivism seems to afflict this particular forum more than any other. I wonder why that is.

    It could be down to one of two factors:

    1) A high number of objectivist posting here.

    2) Issues of forum management.

    The forum management rarely affect the cable discussions one way or the other... we generally find ourselves a little snowed under dealing with DDOS attacks, people spamming links to their own forums and other similarly unpleasant distractions.

    Wasn't me guv'nor! :eek: Who's been doing that?

    I think a particular editorial bias may have some (limited) influence.

    Thats where science comes in to sort fact from fiction. In this case it has already determined it to be fiction.

    Strange how someone who is admin of a particular forum knows nothing about his friends spamming other forums

    I didn't say I didn't know. I just said it wasn't me. I've asked the other admin guys to respect your wishes as it happens.

    One particular well known forum (ZG is probably one of its offshoots), rather than its mods getting all huffy and stampy of feet about the odd message appearing in the odd inbox, one of them actually joined us.
