we came here because we wanted a forum only for this subject, every time I opened threads like elections, it quickly deteriorated. so if you cant have a civilized debate Im not going to go babysitting every day through posts to see what to delete.

Theres plenty of political forums elsewhere, or you can ask us in private. the people you think this will draw are the people we dont want in the first place.
in any case we all agree our political systems are held captive to worthless accords and hostile foreign interests and pressures, so if it doesnt matter what they THINK because it haS no connection to what they DO, does it matter what we think? so lets focus on something constructive, in both meanings.

Who is the we that you are talking about. Your sentence should have read I. You have opinions as everyone has to what is appropriate. Do I have a right to disagree with you in this forum. I know from you that you like non stop flights to the U.S. I prefer a stop over in Europe. I think Tel-Aviv is a terribly dirty city you believe it is just a part of urban living. I think property values will fall you think they will rise. You like urban density. I think traffic problems hurt quality of life.

Opinions are like ass holes everyone has one. I agree with Zohar why have a Barbaret section if you don't allow discussion on anything that isn't to your taste.

Why do you have such a low thresh hold for discussions connected to politics or the Arab Israel conflict. In what way is it bad for the forum.

This forum has minimum participation almost no interaction. Livni posts regularly and enjoys his control.


There are people who come to the forum to see what's posted but most don't post.

Livni doesn't this disturb you a bit.

Are you publishing a news outlet or are you interested in having a forum?

The forum is organized very well. Lots of news about development but few pictures. This is due to the lack of participation.

1. this forum has ~20 regular and active members, and average of 200 guests a day, which is great for a small subject.
2. this forum as you note is open to debates and free discussion, as long as it is on its topics such as urban issues. theres also sports, culture, economy, ecological issues and jewish issues. for politics please join other threads, this is skyscraperlife, forums for consruction and highrises.
3. since the start of 2009 over 120 pictures posted here, which is great.
4. the forum admins are silentloud (zohar) and myself. our purpose was a forum without for political quarrels, thats why we left ssc in the first place.
5. It seems to me you are seeking to somehow inflame unnecessary arguments, lets try to keep it more harmonious.

This isn't about starting arguments it is about creating more participation. The fact that no one else is participating in this discussion is symptomatic of what is Happening in this forum.

Livini please do a serious reality check how many people are actually participating. Of the 120 pictures posted how many different participants were involved.

If what you say is true that there are an average of 200 guests a day why aren't more participating in the forum. If they don't have information, I'm sure some have questions.

This forum is a platform to present Israel in a positive way and spread knowledge of it's development.

You stated "It seems to me you are seeking to somehow inflame unnecessary arguments, lets try to keep it more harmonious".

Discussion is what the forum is about. People don't have to always agree.

My main concern is the lack of participation and I believe a bit of controversy will attract that participation
