I dunno, I kind of agree with Witty, maybe reasonable debate etc won't be found on a chess site, maybe the purpose ofthis sites forums (fora? forae?) is to just have fun, that's great.

Take it easy! I'm making a funny!

anti-capital punnishment activists
sickos on this site.
The rest of us are mature.

Don't worry, I'm not actually a froggy!
No, I do enjoy the banter on these forums, but I would genuinely be interested in finding a forum for general debate in a serious manner, just seein if anyone knows of one.
By all means may everyone carry on, and what's more I'll be joining in!
