Fellow forumsters-

It is with sadness I announce the end of the Not Enough Abuse thread here on this forum. I have started this thread so that we can together have a Celebration of Life of this lovely thread.

A great injustice has been done! Can you imagine a forum without abuse?

Yes, let us all share in a moment of silence. 

Woollensock, might you have a jar of Marmite to place by the graveside?

While you guys and singing and dancing, I´ḿ trying to figure out why this thread died such a sad death. The official reason- that we were starting to talk about politics- just doesn´t make sense.

I think the real reason is just what I feared: the thread was suffering from a leadership vacuum!

I´d nominated someone to be the Conscience of the Thread. The nomination was even seconded. But the nominee refused to even consider responding to the offer! I should have guessed at this point that the writing was on the wall!

And someone else was nominated to be Thread Dietician. And she would only do it if she were paid!! 

But the thread had no budget!! Should I have had a Kickstarter going??

Another person I wanted to nominate to be the Thread DJ...for his impeccable taste in music, but he would only consider being nominated as the Thread Exorcist. I could never seriously consider him for that post because proper exorcisms are conducted with at least teams of five. Clearly, he was/is an amateur. #sad

Clearly, I am an amateur, too, seeing how quickly my thread came to a demise...

Thanks for the expression of sympathy, RonaldJosephCote. 

Now, would you sit in silence with me for a minute, bowing your head to remember this wondrous thread?

mishaman

That means a lot to me!

@RonaldJosephCote, you have honored a great one! I bow to your kindness! I am touched by this expression of sympathy.

What are Monitor Brutality Reports???

What is this, Bishop? Do you need prompting or something? Care you not about the fate of this thread?

Not mourning along with the rest of us??

Like I said, the death of that Thread that Mattered had nothing to do with politics but because of a leadership vacuum at the highest levels of power within said thread...

why??

This isn´t a safe space to mourn the death of a thread??

zembrianator

Was I disrespectful to her??? All I suggested is that she and I collaborate in creating our own alternative chess website called abusechess. 

It´s true there has been no activity all these years, but something got into me...I have just been missing the days when I would be called all manner of things...

And zembrianator- спасибо за поздравления! Уж, как-то надо отметить это событие. Качественным горючим, чтоль?! Правда, она на то пока еще не давала согласие. Эх!

  What a coincidence.  jnewgames has a hard on for Red Girl also. Should we invite her over?......Maybe she can assist in getting THIS thread locked too.

I think I want to wait the requisite three days to mourn that thread before starting a new thread. Can you guess the title???

mishaman

I´m. So. Busted!!!

Maybe I´ll be smarter next time (assuming there will be a next time). Note to self: Avoid politics. Avoid religion!

I would go as far to say that your suggestion merits its own thread!
