One word postings...there goes the Word Association game.
On the "interesting topics" deal...there are alot...but when someone decides to take my post...which was legitimate about a meeting of RHP'ers in the Denver area and makes posts of..
Denver meat
Denver Feet
and the like...i can see a mod's problems.
Cause that crap is about as funny as an Elementary School joke

This forum is for all the stuff that doesn't fit into the other forum categories.
That leaves about 9,985 possible topics to entertain our readers with.
Our forum is getting filled up with long threads of one-word postings, and lots of me-too threads.
Surely people can find interesting topics - stories, jokes, questions or even (shudder!) puns and limericks to share with our friends in the RHP community?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIs this your only outlet? I have many places to discuss things that matter to me and plenty of social outlets. I come to the forums for entertainment, letting of steam, arguing, etc. And yes, Bobby Fischer died for nothing. Don't tell him, OK? It'll hurt his feelings. And FWIW, I thought chess players must be intelligent, too. Then I came here and discovered that good chess players are good at playing chess.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe point being that you don't go to a shoe store looking for toothpaste. Yes, everyone in the shoe store (in theory) uses toothpaste, but that doesn't mean they have to always have it with them. Stop whining and go to the science forum or the puzzles or chess forums or another web site that matches your conversational needs. But stop pretending that intelligent people can only talk about the things that you think make for intelligent conversations.
bravely spoken was it not, from the comfort of your own P.C, infact it hardly merits a response, more banal triviality which just proves the point !

If you disagree with his posts, and make any derogatory reply, he will remind you that the only reason you speak like this is because you are not in the same room as him.....If you were, the reign of Bover that would be him being totally harder than you, would force you to instead pee your pants, and cower in the basking glow of Ned's atomic Dustbin.
