Janice Kim, in one of her books says that Go is like a game of Chicken.

Hi,

I thought that the post was quite funny. It obviously is a joke.

As for the late JB, he was one of those who could bring out the worst in some of us. When people ganged up on him on rgg, I automatically supported him although I did not agree with many of his postings. (I was only a reader and did not participate in the flames myself.) I left with the impression that some of the most vengeful posters seemed to consider themselves as enlightened and tolerant.

Hopefully this place remains pleasant and everybody recognises a joke when (s)he sees one.

Cheers

I'm all for being blunt. However, I also think civility is important in a community like this, and that it's possible be civil and blunt at the same time. It's pretty easy to achieve being civil with folks who don't push our buttons, but just as important with the ones who do.

If I posted what I really thought about every #@&*)!@ who posted some #@%! about *&#$@ or &*@#$%~ every time I logged into L19, I'd be banned pretty darn quick.
