Please be honest...

Please be honest in answering the following question: If a chess site's general forum you had participated in had gradually deteriorated to the point where most all of the conversational

topics and member posting content was either predictably childish and immature or mindless and boring would you shop around for other viable and entertaining options? Thanks. -gb

Lately we seem to have more than our usual allotment of imbeciles. Should I name names?

No need to, Andy, for two reasons: their identities are all too obvious and I've made a decision. Thanks.

If you're of a mind to re-open the conversation, then for goodness sake please contribute a few plausible answers to the question raised. Thank you.

yes...

wanna know why??? i'm glad you asked...
for the three years i've read the posts in this forum, and others on this site, YOU, grampy bobby, have lamented this very decline, and when it was explained to you by general consensus that YOU were the greatest factor for the same decline...

you labeled most all these explanations az "kneejerk reactions", "childish", yada yada yada...

have you explored the web, bobby???

it'z very large...

i daresay so large you will not be able to peruse all that iz offered...

good luck...

No, because I'm here to contribute "viable and entertaining options." 😉

To be honest Grampa Bobby, I get the biggest chuckle over outbursts like this to your posts.

Keep up the good work my friend. If nothing else, just for entertainment value. 😛

Answer me this: if you asked a really really loaded question, where to offer an honest answer might make you look like a proper knob in front of your family and friends, and be the subject of ridicule for generations to come, followed by being a social pariah and outcast from the e-community, would you really want to put yourself through that for no discernible gain?

Thank you for calling everybodys posts childish, immature, mindless or boring.

Actually the decribed posters won't be offended by that as you have seen. BUT mature thoughtful and interesting people might.
Plus the latter are the once you want to participate, but since you generally judged their posts they won't.

Comments?
