Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 2988178, member: 6488"] [URL='https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/repetition'][U]https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/repetition[/U][/URL] The above is a website that provides comments about the virtues (and vices?) of [B]repetition[/B]. It suggests that repeating is neither intrinsically good or bad. For example, repeating an untruth, however often, won't make it a truth. (Don't tell that to politicians.) But repeating a basketball play until the players get it right is necessary. (It also characterizes good and better teams.) Repeating in general can have profound effects—notably a kind of comfort, sense of stability, and, yes, even happiness. Our very lives are a series of temporal repetitions: calendars, holidays, seasons, growing old. If the goal were to avoid repetition on the BY, every participant would have to be familiar with every post. That's not likely or worthwhile. Skip over what you don't want to read. Ignore tiresome redundancy. As for the people who used to post here and have departed, that's their call. I doubt that the BY was ever meant to be therapy. It does give folks a chance to vent, if they want to vent. It does give folks a sense of community. It's about shared interests, ideas, opinions. For me, it's a place to learn from much more knowledgeable people about a game I love. Personally, people can say whatever they like. Sometimes I feel like responding; most times I don't. It's my choice. Nothing lasts forever—even websites. [/QUOTE]
