Some ppl just aren't cut out for msg boards. Pretty clear who some of them are in this thread.

I reject this paring knife swipe. Plenty of GatChat-worthy participants have 'grown' in the "Heart" of their brain an autopilot-civility. That intuitive decency makes coming to a meeting-of-the-minds place where each is called vile names (out of the blue) ... well, their mind's spirit just cannot understand. So such verbal jolts turns them away. No, not because they are snowflakes wanting opposers not to be that way,. What their brain cannot understand is their returning to that unpleasant, insulting brawlroom. I bet too many do not return. That's poor coaching for the best sports board on the net.

There's probably some truth to this....."softer" people cannot handle the GCMB, just like they couldn't handle the GSMB before we existed. Nothing wrong with that, this board isn't for everyone. However, I'd much rather it be the way it is now than a board when everyone has to be nice to each other all the time. Where is the entertainment in that?

That's surely one reason why we have quadruple the amount of daily lurkers than posters. They absolutely love to read the battles, but have no intention of getting down and dirty themselves.

Taking one look into the political forum is enough to keep most sane, rational, educated folk off this board and far far away.

As it turns out, most of the lurkers already tried to sign up. Their applications have been under review by the administration for a few years.

Got tired of lurking and decided to finally log back in again. Mainly so I could see what's being said in the chatbox... perhaps to get a little dirty in the battles, Who knows. Regardless, it's good to be back in an official capacity

We always need a new perspective.

It is outstanding prose sorta 21st century Twain. I will explain it.
I reject this paring knife swipe. Durty said some are not cut out for this place Plenty of GatChat-worthy participants have 'grown' in the "Heart" of their brain an autopilot-civility. lots of chat folks have learned to be civil through some maturity or growth if you will That intuitive decency makes coming to a meeting-of-the-minds place where each is called vile names (out of the blue) ... well, their mind's spirit just cannot understand.Unwarranted and profane attacks that continue are confusing as well as tiring So such verbal jolts turns them away. No, not because they are snowflakes wanting opposers not to be that way,. What their brain cannot understand is their returning to that unpleasant, insulting brawlroom. it just aint worth to some folks to be in a pizzing contest each time they visit cause I bet too many do not return. That's poor coaching for the best sports board on the net. He ties coaching (that we hear about 24/7) to the lack of collegiality in here.
