what is this ment to be?

"matron saint"... it's interesting, but then I wonder why chess is a men world yet..

Good point, lol.  I guess she needs more influence. 

The Saint should apologize too, lol

More apologizing!  Talk about fighting fire with fire. 

It's the thread subject and  I like playing with fire.

Spicy!  Lol.  I'll keep that in mind. 

Why? Are you going to be more careful about me because of that?

Do not involve children to playing with fire!

None of you are children!

Who know?

I hope so! Or I should apologize and I decline it! lol

I think a lot of here are still children...

We all say we aren't, but you never know who's behind the screen!  Lol. 

At least you didn't apologize for apologizing, Diana. 

Well, it is a family orientated site. So perhaps some sense of restraint in the innuendo stakes would be nice.

I don't think anything said in this thread was serious, so all children in the site could come and post here.

I sure wasn't being serious.  And don't you dare accuse me of such! 

Of course they could that's the point and I'm sure some people will choose to be more risque because of some the preceeding posts.

because I decided that men should be kept busy in stupid activities like chess so that they can do less damage to the world! ;) And to fool them, some women volunteered also - they can play almost without thought, given that chess is so trivial, but they [the women pro chess players] keep up the *act* of thinking deeply, which is easy to do, given that during a high level chess game between a woman and a man, the woman *is* thinking deeply - but of more important things than chess!

risque?  preceeding posts? We are reading a different thread for sure!

You being serious, Jack? Don't make me fool, you not even know what it means.
