If you think my reasons are inadequate then either 1. you can't read or 2. you are skewing and distorting what you read. I believe you are inadvertently doing the latter so that you can feel like you are winning an argument.
You have a problem with definitions. Let me help you a bit.
Criticism is not defined by meritless and inflammatory flaming.
T ...[text shortened]... ns = opinions
Flaming = flaming
Look them up if you wish, but Criticism isn't flaming

In the UK, it is considered rude to "advise" people in that manner, seems to be normal in your neck of the woods.
Xanthos's point was that this has been discussed, as nauseum, before. The original poster could have checked previous posts to see the various points made on either side - and the conclusion that most people want this to be a correspondence site. I guess that's partly why uchess was set up as an alternative.
Blitz chess, is not the same as regular time control, is not the same as correspondence. If this is a correspondence site, with correspondence ratings, there's no point "polluting" it with blitz games/ratings.
