Well as I consider this topic to be unjustified I voted somewhere else.

The use of "pro" and "anti" only gives rise to lame people who cannot form their own unbiest opinions and gives them a perfect opportunity to tar people with the slogan "pro" or "anti".

My own opinion is I have a fair idea how this "pro" and "anti" NTL began and to me it needs to stop right now, especially as many have commented it is having an affect on the site.

If you think the divide is affecting the site as I do then why not report it as I have although it never got me nowhere not even a response.

To me it is nothing short of name calling and to me this has to stop.

I personally hate this "anti" and "pro" NTL group labelling and agree that as long as discussion is kept to within the site Terms Of Service, it should be permitted to continue and without the need to start name calling.

This site contains people from many walks of life and ages and there is no doubt going to be disagreements etc. but we all should be adult enough to allow people to take part in the discussion, and god forbid if they are happy with their NTL services then why resort to calling them "pro" NTL.

On the other side of the coin why choose to go straight for the "anti" NTL option if their grievance is justified as this does allow the thread to flow, be patient and let the people have their opinion.

Surely if they are just slating and getting personal and ranting then surely the Mods will step in.

Creating a divide between "pro" and "anti" will only incite people and cause a problem to the site and the thread.

I dont want to come here and see constant arguments between people and constant intervention by Mods with threads being closed and members being banned etc.

All this is about to me surely is healthy discussion without the need for "pro" or "anti" NTL labelling or personal insults being hurled back and forth.

We are all members here but not all are customers, employees etc a mixture of both maybe or even ex employees like myself or maybe even none of the above but it would be nice for everyone to get on and participate in a reasonable level of discussion.

I cannot see why there is a need to create a "pro" or "anti" NTL divide and continue with this name calling.

Thanks for listening.
