Constructive discussion

[Glint]

ok, I'm really amazed now, it's truly incredulous.
Some of you guys must have keyboards stuck to your fingers with super glue, the way you respond so quickly and so frequently, lol!
I not only play Gordon a fair bit, we have met various times as well, so I do know him fairly well.
I stated in my post that I wasn't taking sides, I was trying to make a point that these posts of late are probably dissuading people from contributing to the discussion.
A couple of guys have made a point and, straight away, they are jumped on too?
I find it offensive to have explained the definitions for various words as if I'm some kind of moron. I find it offensive that supposed ' grown ups' can make snide remarks, nothing to do with discussion of matters relevant to the game itself and I think it's pretty pathetic that some people have to paraphrase every part of someone's message as if they are trying to score points?
If the average age in the blitz is 30 to 40 then maybe some 'older'guys aren't 'afraid' to post, they maybe of a more mature age and can't be bothered anymore to participate in discussions that are hi-jacked by what they see as juvenile baiting and childish wrangling?
