Chat is a weird place in general, at times—- it just seems like it gets aggressive in chat, because as others have said, sometimes people may merely be misunderstood—– What aggravates me is that it’s RIGHT THERE. Sometimes I know I’m just not in the right mood to deal and just want to see my shippy goodness but you simply can’t avoid chat. I’m not good at all the web design stuff so I assume it’s a huge task to move it to it’s own page, though, so you can choose when you want to see it and when you don’t.
I have to disagree with removing the chat too its own individual page, because speaking from my own perspective, when Im on the chat I also use the different threads and it would be very difficult if we had to go back and forth between the pages to get from a thread and back too the chat.. But perhabs somehow the webpage-builder folk can create a hidding function of a sort? Im not sure if its possible?
