International Chess Federation (FIDE) to ban and punish transgender players

  • I think the point is that the field should be left alone. Let players of both genders rank wherever they do. Seems odd to separate the genders for a non-physical sport.

  • Oh. Sigh. Phew. Thanks.

    • This single sentence is the best summary I have seen yet of the way Reddit admins/corporate is treating moderators and supporters: "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

  • Many sites have lost their core audience, and move towards a lowest common denominator, and died. But I’ve never heard of that helping them take off, can anyone think of any examples? Lowering quality won’t help.

    • I've seen a few discussions about the "failed" protests and wanted to talk about it

  • Oh, I think it's hurt Reddit more than it seems on the surface. Of course they will say "it's not working" but reading between the lines of this Engadget article [1], the number of ad impressions would be down rather significantly. Note the difference between time spent on site (seeing ads) and "visits" -- many of which were likely people checking on the site rather than participating in the site. I think this is taking a toll, and am hopeful this situation will serve as an example of poor leadership for the next generation (Digg being a previous example).
