Another incidental thread from coquette's genii in the jug lab destined to succeed in living a long and enjoyable life. Is it because human beings find pleasure in the friction of going against the grain, because of its minimal format or is it magic?

All may be so
Maybe, tho, all are wrong
Here's what I think:
1. A "Do not. . ." thread automatically triggers oppositional impulses, and as chess is an adversarial game, this theme harmonizes at a deep character level that triggers a reactive response
2. A negative "Do not. . . " thread allows for an unlimited number of variants. Negative orders challenges others to act both in compliance and defiance. Either response sustains the thread
3. Bumping in defiance releases a slight dose of dopamine at only a miniscule metabolic and time cost
4. Once the hunt is on, the horn sounded, the herd cannot help but join in the chase of the elusive fox

Do you think there may also be an unintended subliminal x-factor?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou bet, the X factor is the main one (i wasn't about to admit it openly, but now that you've put it out there, laying it right on the table, revealing everything, showing it all)

Originally posted by coquetteYes, much like bump, pump and grind eh?
now you step into dangerous territory there
you risk poking a taboo subject
the Do Not Grind and Do Not Bump and Grind threads may be inevitable now
the bump and grind sounds suggestive
onamatapoetic that compound expression is, is it not?
