Right that one was a poorly chosen example.
I would not like the posts on here to wait in a queue to be passed
But it does show you the trouble these 'debate' forums can cause.
That they have this 'wait till it's passed ' rule' in place in the first place.
So why do we invite this kind of trouble on a Chess Site?
Of all the Forum sites I looked at
NONE ran games of chess in the background.
Would it be such a big deal if we trashed the Religious and Debates Forum?
Gens Una Sumus (We are one family). That is the FIDE motto.
Some family.
Christians baiting Muslims, Muslims baiting Jews, Athiests baiting anybody
who dare to express a belief in a religion that may have brought them
comfort in a time of severe despair.
And debates about the earthquakes, floods, murders, rapes....,,wait....
I'll just cut and paste the top five topics from the RHP debates forum.
A letter from CatholicVote.org .
Auschwitz
Kissinger most disgraceful 20thC U.S.statesman?
Is zeeblebot a spambot?
Another nut weighs in on Haitian earthquake
What has this got to do with chess?
So I get told 'don't go there if you don't like it'.
But I am there. I'm talking chess with some lad and it's all nice and friendly
next minute someone piles in because in the debates forum this lad has
denied the holocaust or wants to rape a horse.
Do you really think the bile and the hatred that these forums bring out do not
spill over onto the other forums.
If these people, these nameless people who hide behind the ananomity granted
tp them by a chess site, want to spout off then there 100's, nay 1,000's of
other forums out there.
Go there and scream from the rooftops. Here we play chess.

Edit1: see my post in
Thread 125429
A CHESS site that asks you NOT to post anthing poilitical or religious
