There is wisdom in this observation. Obviously most people are going to start out in either the Main Arena or the Training Arena. We want to draw them into the CT, I would think, rather than persuade them that we're a nest of squealing chimpanzees flinging dung at each other. Guppy very sensibly pointed out that one way to distinguish yourself, in a good way, is to offer a nicer establishment.
For those of you who promptly jumped down his throat, I'd like to point out that we have often discussed ways of bringing more people into the arena, and he was participating in that effort. If my friends thought (think?) that I'm misbehaving, I'd like to have them tell me. I note that Storch has
not lashed out at anyone in this thread, which I think is a pretty strong sign of maturity (and he
is a grandfather, after all).
Possibly we can actually get back to the original point of the thread, which I take to be: Can we tone down the high school testosterone levels in the effort to make the CT a more grown-up place to play this game?
