<Boomie: <CG.Com> I've thought of a way you can save a few bucks. Clean up the cesspool on the Rogoff page.

Just a handful of posters account for over 90% of the blather. They all have their own forums. Let them spew their off topic crap in their own houses.

<alexmagnus: ...Stop using "average" meaning "bad". Average is average. But somehow our language keeps shifting into a mathematically impossible direction pf everybody being above average.>

Step forward the great <Petrosianic>, dollying in on the offending comment like a close-up in an FW Murnau movie.

GRENKE Chess Classic (2018) (kibitz #578)

<Petrosianic: I think part of it is the belief that in the internet age, people no longer have the attention span to follow a 24 game match.

There may be something to it. In online chats, I've seen people have difficulty following even a single game. Any time someone gets even a slight edge, they convince themselves that it's a winning edge, and the game is over. When no one has an edge, they moan bitterly about how boring the game is. I've seen people come in as early as Move 10 and pronounce that all the games in a round are going to be draws.

So, low attention span combined with a frantic fear of uncertainty.

People derive comfort from feeling they know how a contest will end before it does. That kind of spectator wouldn't hold it together for 24 games.>

A complaint made during R Mamedov vs Carlsen, 2018 met with a swanepoeling riposte.

<Scathing, Swiftian criticism from Petro, who with a singlw swish of his mighty sword of satire has left the nay-sayers and jobbernowls quivering in virtual piles of reeking ordure in the Bob-Ross-like digital landscape.>

For the sake of that poor tatoo artist I've never even met, I am praying that both of them don't win.>

Tomlinsky: Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective, without being condemning of one's views and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say. Well played everyone.>
