I disagree. This site is more like a giant living room where people get together to discuss anything and everything as well as chips. You will see discussions here on just about any subject you can think of, and while it may get testy at times, at the end of the day everyone remains friends. I learned a lot about chipping on here, and enjoy the comraderie and the occasional banter on some other subject totally unrelated to casinos or chips. I just don't like the hot rod of the day - because I get jealous and I wish I had some of them!
