"Just keep things simple and generic..."


"Just keep things simple and generic" was the advice a friend in a distant city recently offered regarding my return from vacation to the RHP Chess Site and Public Forums. Still wondering exactly what the advice meant in context and if it's sound. Doesn't it unintentionally bury a veiled high brow insult to the above average intelligence and mature sensibilities of a large percentage of veteran posting members between the lines? Would appreciate your objective viewpoint, strong opinions and casual comments on her well intentioned advice. Thanks.

"Which friend? Which city?

What vacation? Where did you go? What was the weather like?

Do you often doubt your friend's advice? Are they truly friends if they offer you bad advice? Why would a friend offer you bad advice?"

Do not post offensive or inflammatory remarks that stray beyond the bounds of reasoned debate. Calling another poster an "idiot" will leave a post subject to immediate removal." Russ


Should someone alert your infraction?

Apparently somebody else has already taken the initiative to do so.

Songbird's advice is insulting, though I suppose she is only trying to be helpful and protective. Her viewpoint is
undoubtedly skewed if it's based only on what you told her. She's hearing only one side of the argument.

HandyAndy, how did you know my nickname for her? You knew it because I told many months ago in a private personal mail.

Your public disclosure of that privileged information violates Red Hot Pawn Terms of Service.
