+1 You're one of the good guys Bunny. Please stay. Suggest you use the blocking and delete buttons more on your threads to reduce the negative effect of the trolls.

I'm 44 y.o. and had never tried the internet before until three years ago. This is virtually the only site I visit. I joined to improve my chess and I have been much more successful in improving my English and meeting interesting people. This internet thing is an amazing tool, but I also can't help a bittersweet feeling, since here it is more notorious we are Longfellow's ships than pass in the night.

it's become less fun here. no more intelligent chatter, just the same boring uninformative, unstimulating & unfunny stuff. not sure why.
perhaps casual occasional spontaneous good natured jesting in between serious content has been replaced by planned systemized manufactured trolling totally overriding content.
as the resident dumb undead bunny, i don't even know what that means, but there, i've said it. does look like quantity has won over quality.
how do i feel about it?
exactly!
