Well, with respect, if you had allowed those long time members who requested a new thread (one perhaps called, "The trouble with EastEnders"), then we could avoid having to interact with Banks at all.
At least be mindful that typically it is down to one individual that fights start in this thread. People who don't enjoy it now have to explain that they are not "closet fans", as Banks is unable to work out why people still watch it.
Having someone like Banks parading around like an ar$e telling us we don't know what we like isn't exactly condusive to good debate.
Could you at least take the point of a second thread under considersation?
OK, Gavin, that sounds like a good idea. Would the regulars here prefer this thread to continue in conjunction with a "Trouble with EastEnders" thread, or would you prefer two new threads?
If this goes ahead, then people should be adults about it. Every person has the right to have their own opinion and not be harrassed because of it by other members.
If we do create two threads, then the main one is to be used for discussion of the episode storylines, news and spoilers and the minor one is to be used for discussing opinions of the overall quality of the programme. That way, we can distinguish that debate from the ongoing discussion of storylines. At the moment, the former seems to be taking over from the latter, so I think we need to redress the balance.
That is fantastic - I'm very much obliged. I think two threads is a sensible option.
Maybe you should kick both off - to save any needless tweaking of the thread titles down the line.

I think this silly bickering has gone on long enough now. Any chance of getting back to discussing EastEnders itself?
