What is to be done?
@relentless-red saidGood question, what would be considered "Normal People"?

@relentless-red saidIf nothing is ever done, then there isn't much to argue about, is there...? I vote we do nothing as often as we can. I can start.
But how often should we do that and how will we know when it is truly nothing??
@ghost-of-a-duke saidGood.
Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.

Is normality perhaps a condition we fall back into, when we run out of imagination?
@relentless-red saidI'm not fussy - you can do nothing and let me get something done.
How come you get to start? Do I have to keep doing something in the meantime until it's my turn?
@torunn saidSounds good to me. I was worried for a moment there.

Interesting question. Interesting in terms of someone who is an outsider, but regular reader of forum posts here.
In most cases I suspect the normal man keeps walking on after reading and/or maybe posting a comment or two.
There is not really an easy place for new "normal" people, chess players who find RHP and maybe want to assimilate. The forums are good. They are set. New people are not necessary.
There is sometimes not a lot of air left to breathe. Some posters have to post in every thread every day and not about the thread necessarily - but about themselves. If you don't know them or want to talk about them, it can be hard to contribute and get into the flow of the conversation.
Maybe you say something you think it relevant, but the next post is back to the every day every thread posters who change the conversation back to them and your post is lost. So no one answers you - you are just invisible - and you sort of slink away after a day or two.
I am sure that is not everyone's experience - but you asked a general "normal man" question. Like I say the forums seem pretty set. Everyone is good. New normal people with new or different ideas need not apply - just keep on walking.
@anitya saidNot quite true, but can see you seeing it that way.

Many posters have been here for many years and know each other, new people are welcome, new ideas are welcome.
We don't always stay on Topic, as some other forums on this site do, but there is an Off Topic to alert the post, which is rarely used in this forum.
A lot of the bantering is in jest and nothing is really meant as serious exception in rare cases. Please feel free to throw in your two cents worth any time.
We have the good people, bad people, Logical people, jokesters, serious types, etc.,etc., which it takes to make an active forum from my way of looking at it.
