I could never get into the chats or talkers; their immediate nature, having to be there right when things happened, having to type at rates that are impossible for me to maintain, not having time to properly compose your thoughts or to research & fact-check things through, to not be able to dodge the flame equivalent of an "Al Capp rumble-ball" until it was way too late (I'm REALLY dating myself there!)

Thank you for this excellent summary of why chats are dysfunctional.  Add that leaving your device on all the time to participate is a privacy risk in most RL situations.
