I belong to a “no talking during davening shul”. The Rav and the Gabboim make it a point to try and stop all talking during davening. I know several people who were “insulted” that the Rav called them at home to discuss not talking during davening who left the shul to daven elsewhere.
Personally, I like davening in this minyan. The decorum allows me to daven and not worry about having to block out discussions on the latest move by the Mets GM, the Dow and anything else people might talk about.
