See! See what you did there? That's not how you debate. You don't cover your ears and say "nah nah nah." You build something, like "how the PC would do things better than this site or offer something completely new."
I'm sticking with my aforementioned "checkmate" until someone makes a good point.

It wouldn't hurt to have a pc...
Regardless, is it necessary? People seem perfectly capable of playing without one.
Uncheck, got your queens and chessmate
That sentence fails on
so many levels. As far as chess terminology goes, there is no such thing as 'uncheck, you either move your piece away from the attacking piece, capture the attacking piece or move another piece between the king and attacking piece. Also there is no such thing as 'chessmate'. I would assume you mean 'checkmate', in which case I doubt a few positive generalizations about a PC constitute an sort of effective counter to what ket is saying.
There's also no reason to have no pc.
That seems like the inverse of your first statement. The problem with a PC is, there's a lot of people interested, but they all have different goals. It's more trouble than its worth. A PC's only practical purpose would either be to make rulings, which a lot of people would disagree with (for example, this thread:
Proposed Errata and Discussion) or the actual printing of cards, which will never happen. Nice idea, but not happening. As has been stressed by multiple people numerous times, this site is everything we need! So yes, this is a reason to have no PC.
Would it be better to have a pc: probably yes. But we don't know if we have not tried it. Then again I've serious doubts that it will happen, because I think there's a lack of enthusiasm to contribute (help) the pc. Even a constructional debate is difficult to organize. So you need to go blunt and push things through and repair mistakes later or stay in this endless debate of yes/no.
Once again a generalization. We don't need to try it to know what it will do. I don't understand what you mean about a 'lack' of enthusiasm, plenty of people seem enthusiastic enough. As for your last sentence, it seems that there is no debate. There are several 'factions'. You seem to want to try to get everyone to agree on one course of action, or just push something through that no one agrees on, which will please nobody. This PC idea seems more divisive than anything else.
There. That's my two cents, and that being said, this topic needs to be split and this part moved to the PC forum.
