You can't resist oozing your narcissism all over the forum, can you?

@divegeester
Oh do shut up you dull, humourless harpy.
It was the second time Suzianne had typed exactly the same words on this thread. And yet, surprise surprise, that didn't trigger a reprimand from you.

Fun for who?

Who do you think that partakes of these forums enjoys the personal insults, that are on a par with a school playground or the yobs that pretend to be learned people in Westminster?
Have you asked Suzianne, Ghost of a Duke, Very Rusty, woofwoof or any of the other members of the Ghost Chamber club, which you are a member of, who indulge in what you are complaining about … or do you just take issue with my posting?

If somebody thinking of joining in reads through a thread pitted with spiteful mud slinging it's hardly going to attract anyone unless they like a good barney.
It’s not possible to read the forums without first joining the site and every single person without exception, who joined RHP initially joined to play chess. A tiny tiny minority then find the forums and choose to either read them, to contribute to them or ignore them. As can you.

So your point is moot.

One can lead a person to Carshalton duck pond, but you can't make them walk around it.

I think the truth of this matter is twofold; 1) you are still simmering from a disagreement you and I had in the spirituality forum a few weeks ago, and 2) you are exercising the partisan part of your medulla (sic) in order to score some brownie points elsewhere.

If you feel this comment is an “attack” on you, them please do feel free not to “retaliate” 🙂

Fist of all I suspect that Woof is dead ............... but moving on I'm not singling you out. Suzie kicked it off, as I've acknowledged.

I'm suggesting that personal insults and attacks are not the way forward.

But in fact, here you are “singling me out” medulla.

But Suzianne kicking it off has never ever triggered you. Not that I can recall.

Have you taken your complaint up with her? Have you taken your complaint up with anyone else in these forums?

After all the type of the exchanges you are complaining about has been going all the time you have been a member at RHP.

I'm not aware of anything that you have said or done that has annoyed me?

Anyway, things to do, catch you later Mr Geester.

Ok, have a most convivial day doing your things and you can catch me later.

By the way, it’s either “dive” or if you prefer formality then it’s “lord divegester” since my recent accencion to the upper house 😄

That wouldn't bode well for the longevity of the site.

This sounds like you have a touch of Grampy Bobby Syndrome. He also insisted that this chess website would be doomed ~ presumably all the chess games going on would just peter out ~ without the General Forum.
Not at all. Dive was presenting a forum that didn't have new people viewing it. (And was immediately suspicious of anybody who did). I suspect the forums have a lot of transitory traffic. This kind of thread is a good idea, welcoming more people in.

And I have alerted the above post. The mods always remove that false accusation. (And have done so again on another thread).

The longevity of the site and the busyness of the General Forum are not linked.
