"I'm finding this whole thread a bit bizarre. Since likes and dislikes are personal to each individual, how can anyone on earth say "women/men don't like X" and not expect to be treated as a raving lunatic?" -Kewpie [3] [0]

"RHP etiquette" Rank outsider, 20 Feb '14 (Only Chess Forum)
"Strewth.
Some of you guys think everytime you click a skull an angel dies.
Keep it simple.
At the start of the game:
"Hi. Good Luck."
During the game:
If a guy leaves a piece hanging. Take it.
If a guy leaves his time hanging. Take it
If your opponent won't resign when you are clearly winning. Live with it.
At the end of the game:
If you lost. "Well played."
If you won. "Well played."
If the game was drawn. "Shall we play again colours reversed."
If you won by clicking his skull say nothing.
Infact it's proably good etiquette to say nothing at all no matter what
happened in the game. How can you be rude and display bad etiquette
if you put up a wall of silence.
Someone pop down to the 'Site Ideas' section and ask Russ to remove
the PM feature so no one can say anthing to anyone ever again. -greenpawn34 [5] [0]
"I found this quote when I searched for information about the Swedish writer of children's books, Astrid Lindgren - I believe this is something for all of us to read:
"When I was about 20 years old, I met an old pastor’s wife who told me that when she was young and had her first child, she didn’t believe in striking children, although spanking kids with a switch pulled from a tree was standard punishment at the time. But one day, when her son was four or five, he did something that she felt warranted a spanking–the first in his life. She told him that he would have to go outside himself and find a switch for her to hit him with.
The boy was gone a long time. And when he came back in, he was crying. He said to her, “Mama, I couldn’t find a switch, but here’s a rock that you can throw at me.”
All of a sudden the mother understood how the situation felt from the child’s point of view: that if my mother wants to hurt me, then it makes no difference what she does it with; she might as well do it with a stone.
And the mother took the boy into her lap and they both cried. Then she laid the rock on a shelf in the kitchen to remind herself forever: never violence. And that is something I think everyone should keep in mind. Because if violence begins in the nursery one can raise children into violence."
