Breeding season, you mention missiles blowing me away - well, that's what happened to you, your board, your money, and your idiotic posts.

Have a nice day in the mud.

Usually on Friday nights I am spending time with friends, so I didn't have time for you. Now I'm back.

Lest see:

"You'll note I overlooked exhibit #1, due to the fact that your English skills suck along with your penmanship. No other way to look at that. Ok fountain pens. You're an expert on fountain pens. Big deal..."

I like how you say you ignore something and then go on and on talking about the point. I take it your penmanship is so great you can talk so low about others. I am still working on mine, have done great improvements.

The next couple paragraphs is you braging about your stuff, as usual, the only thing from there that interested me was this:

"a game room designed around Chess"

If this was true it would have being awesome. But something is telling me this is not true. So lest move on.

"What do any of you do for anyone else, other than yourselves?"

Yes, you are the only person in this whole website who does any kind of contribution to the community... I honestly don't feel like making a list of how much I give and how much I do just to make a point on an online debate, I consider this to be low class.

"My little brother is trilingual "

How great he is... a shame we have to deal with you and not with him. I guess your google stalking results show you that I speak 3 languages as well?

You are a Pinocchio aren't you? ;-)

Yeah, you're an all-around great guy. I especially love the bit about how your younger brother is an excellent chess player but a poor student who can't afford a good chess set, so you told him to go online and choose his dream set — price no object — and then you bought it ... for yourself! And then you buy a $30 second-hand board off Ebay for him. All around great guy, for sure.

 

Honestly, I've never before come across someone who is trying so desperately hard to impress a bunch of strangers who couldn't care less. But I find it really hard to believe that a guy who claims to be this successful would really buy a cheap board off Ebay and then, within a few hours, create an account on chess.com just to seek reassurances about said board. Moreover, I can't see why such a well-off person would really feel the need to tell us how, if worse comes to worse, they'll be able to sell the board and get their $30 back.

Im not even involved in this arguement, I even like the green board but this post owned the op hahaha. I am actually looking forward to reading how he lies his way out of this one lol

Your reading comprehension skills blow.I told him I was buying a chess board. Mostly for he and I to play on.  Yes he picked it out. He's 20 years old. He has a full schedule on his plate. He's here there and everywhere. The board and pieces were over 2000.00. He leaves his apartment, someone who has seen it breaks in and steals it? Gets banged up and drinks spilled all over it during one of those illustrious parties they have occasionally that can be compared to the movie " hangover".....no thank you. It's safe where it is and he can play on it anytime he wants in the game room. He has the code to get in. Later on when he's older and has a palce of his own, he can have it and I'll keep the ugly green and white board. I may even go out and buy another board , who knows? I would think that would be my choice. Not yours.

Besides, the truck and the bay boat I bought him for his birthday, should hold him over for a while.

You sure do worry about how other people spend their money, don't you. You must be a Democrat.

Actually, what I said was, " Unless you get blown off the face of the planet" Which in theory could very easily happen since Israel is owning Gaza. Have a nice day in your mudd hut, never knowing if you'll be around tomorrow to troll forums. You seem to think I want you killed. Quite to the contrary. I don't want you to die. I wouldn't mind if both your arms got blown off and you couldn't type anymore though. That would put a tragic end to your trolling, now wouldn't it?

Good day

Umm, I already said I didn't buy a Lambo. I could have, but I didn't. Pay attention.

Here you go, parked at a good friends house. I bought one of these instead. Ulgy huh?

I would think someone who is unemployed would have all the time in the world.

Yes I'm afraid there is indeed a game room, so whatever is telling you it's not true, is lying to you.

You don't have to deal with me. You do it by choice. Thank you for making time for me.

I didn't say you bought one, I said you'd never been near one...pay attention ;).  The key here is your trying-overly-hard use of "Lambo".  If you want to keep trying to portray yourself as some Duck Dynasty type, go ahead, but nobody's buying it and your sockpuppetry is leaking through, "BreedingSeason", as always.

You just don't have what it takes to fool people...and there's a simple reason why:  it requires either empathy, to actually understand and emulate other people's motivations correctly, or complete sociopathy and observation skills combined with an emotional detachment, so that you don't blow a gasket like you have here...and let's not keep the charade going, someone in the actual position you've constructed would not be as emotionally invested as fast and as furiously as you seem to be.

You have neither trait, and will be forever doomed to the netherworld limbo of trolldom, unable to create a sockpuppet that works long term.  Good luck on your next attempt.

Do you even know what sock puppet means? If so, define what you apparently, think, it means.

If you're referring to my catchy screen name, you may have thought to yourself " Who in the world would make a screen name like that?"

The obvious answer to the question is, ME.

Now that is a nice car, there. British make. I am partial to the somewhat similar Tesla Roadster myself, I like the car and the company philosophy equally. Hope they can actually make a difference in the end.

What model is that?

Thank you sir,

It's a Lotus Elise SC.

SC- Super charged.

I see you've amended your rant a bit. Perhaps a member of Parliament? Do you wear one of those funny looking wigs too?

I don't suppose the thought has ever crossed your mind that I might know exctly what I'm doing? That perhaps I have been through all this before many times? That maybe, just maybe, I'm somoene who joined this site in good faith but also someone who doesn't take kindly to pompous jackasses? You'll get what you give with me. You don't like it? Tough shit. Play with someone else.

Go ahead and poll the audience about who is coming across as a pompous jackass ;)...as for "playing with you" or "getting what I give", your self-centered point of view regarding my engagement here is a little off.  I politely mentioned that your board was neither rare nor expensive, and I responded to an aside from another poster, which you flipped out about...after which I pointed out the flaws in your persona.

You mean somewhere between jack and squat to me.  You, on the other hand, are sure spending an inordinate amount of time defending your thinly-veiled "look how cool I am" original post for someone who claims to have a Lotus Elise in the driveway...is there something seriously wrong with you that you have this apparent tycoon lifestyle but can't stop yourself from wigging out on a messageboard while all your toys and your 80 acres sit there waiting? ;)

The answer is:  no, that's not what is wrong with you.  What's actually the problem is your inability to create a viable fake persona...your logic and your ability to place yourself in someone else's shoes in order to come across in a realistic manner are just lacking.
