Yes Brit, I agree with you this is a fighting chatroom but...talking about fighting all the time has its limits. Obviously people don't want to talk about each fight they have.
So, it's fine for me if sometimes we talk about other subjects. I remember the day we talked about the American elections, it was a passionnated debate and, personnally, I liked it.
I think many people use the chatroom just to talk in private with some they know well. It is maybe more convenient to talk about some aspects of fighting in private rather than in public.
We can regret it because it shows a kind of egoism in people who just think about themselves and don't want to be a part of a community..but it is like that.
