@ghost-of-a-duke saidI do remember kind sir. It was a pound of the finest frumunda cheese in the land. I must apologize for the Mogen David though. That was just gauche.
Remember that time sir I put you on ignore and you turned up at my castle with a bottle of wine and half a pound of cheese?
@mudfinger saidWhen you say "gauche" I get the distinct impression that you may be a socialist. Am I "right"?

Makes me laugh when I read the threads that start out as one thing, and 99 times out of a 100 the topic will change somewhere along the way.
I've actually had posts removed in the past because of that. Also been asked by a moderator to stay on the topic. It is joke if they aren't going to enforce it in every thread and not just a few threads or to a few people.
Time to wake up and smell the roses, the topic of threads have never kept on track. If one person is going to be called out on it then call everyone out on it.
I've looked over the threads in the Gengeral Forum as that was the one I was called on, and every single one of them the topic has changed by different people. Were there posts deleted or removed. Then answer is obvious "NO"!!!
My Dollars worth for the day! This one by the way started out as the Ignored thread with someone talking about being ignored in a chat while playing in case anyone has forgotten. 😉
I rest my little rant! 😉

@very-rusty saidIt takes all kinds of people and threads, to make the world go around.

@great-big-stees saidI do agree, also there should be the same set of rules enforced for everyone, not just certain people! I don't plan on hearing much disagreement about that! 😉

I'll ask you a direct question have you EVER seen a thread stay on topic in the general forum from start to finish.

@very-rusty saidNot that I recall except maybe the last word sentence thread. Perhaps we could ask Pondy to do one of his amazing analyses.

@great-big-stees saidAgreed, that would be the only one I can recall and it is a new one recently started.

I don't think even ponderable would be able to find many more....I am betting there would be fingers left over on the hand you want to count them on.
My point has been made, I asked you as you have a few years seniority to me.
The '3 word never ending story' game is also going well.

@the-gravedigger saidRare when that happens! 😉
A thread should be like a womans skirt.
Long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to maintain interest.

@the-gravedigger saidOr heavily involved in playing online chess. My first thought was "engine?", but his game stats don't suggest this.
In my experience players of your rating are either engine drivers or are heavily involved in real life tournament chess.
Being ignored on here would not trouble highly rated OTB players.

I hadn't checked that.
If he is that rating in real life OTB chess he is an elite player verging on International Master. My point was this site would be an amusing diversion. He would be getting all sorts of invites to big tournaments.
He would not have time to notice he was being ignored on this site.
