Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Sigh.
Take a deep breath folks. Just take a deep breath. Step away if you need to. Give it 72 hours.
The Awakening will still be Great by the time you get back.
I keep hearing this but fail to see the problem. What are you guys taking a deep breath for?
Thus speaketh the unflappable Bursting Bubble....
Meh, just a random comment. Maybe there's no problem! I'll wait and see...
Tell me, what is the apparent problem that might exist? Are you referring to "Durham did not indict anyone?" or something else?
I don't think there is any problem.
This comment was self-directed to some extent, but I thought also just a good general comment applicable to numerous situations experienced by pedes on the board.
The comment is/was prompted by my observing the deluge of Durham posts, but as stated above, I think it's reasonable as a general recommendation.
I don't think there is any problem. I regret starting the comment out with "sigh".
Question: "I keep hearing this but fail to see the problem" What do you keep hearing? From where?
Do you mean you keep hearing this from me, and you think such comments are unnecessary or unhelpful? If so, you may be right.
