Thanks!
Those that you mentioned are indeed great posters. I hope that your friend request is successful.
You're right, there are a lot of trolls at "that other place" and they are so threatened by originality. All many of them know is "fitting in" and making alliances.
I don't believe that even they believe half of the garbage they spew.
I find so many of them infantile and incapable of putting a serious or reasonable post together, and it's really sad because some of them are smart, but emotionally undeveloped.
Hopefully, in time, the good ones will find their way out of the chaos, but it's hard when you consider that most forums are run that way.
This is a totally different concept you have here. This is the way a tennis forum should be run.
there is just too much noise there for me.
I like to relax and even work when I am at a forum. I need peace and quiet.
everybody is always hacking away at someone there. and it is the same at MTF.
i am not about those endless hacking away at people and about endless arguments about who is the greatest of all time.
i don't give a damn about that. i don't show up at a forum to debate or argue. it is not my cup of tea.
i show up to relax and chill and just take it easy.
my thing is have fun and let people have their fun.
