Since this is a chess website there are a limited number of things to discuss in the forums. Some come up a lot:
To resign or not to resign
I've been cheated!
Use of vacation time
Every time these threads come up, there are a group of people who post comments like:
Stop whinging!
Get a life!
People are dying! Get things in perspective!
Is there a secret chess.com group called "The Forum Police"?
Is there a special digital handshake to recognise other members by?
Do you get a badge?
Heh, you want to join?
Please stop whinging and get a lifeF.P
Over 150,000 people die every day (some of them, chess players).
Dihydregen Monoxide. Funny
GET MATED PALS!
jonny, i think you should actually create the Forum Police group, and then set your own rules!
Somebody has to pilot the black helicopters.
I would do, but I'm worried that the real Forum Police would hunt me down and subject me to withering sarcasm to within an inch of my life.
If I did, I'd make sure that csharpe gets one of the black helicopters. You can be our 'Howling Mad' Murdoch!
And some of them are "whining" chess players. (please note correct spelling)
Ban the Policy Makers!
Greg
please,
you know,
I"m with you, Smither. I am a little curious though, as to what type of people think that there are two letter G in the word "whining"?? could it be that there are that many who are ignorant of spelling rules ???
Apparently someone thinks there are not too many posts claiming: (1) "my opponent cheated -- only Fritz 11 would have been able to spot my numerous blunders and inaccuracies"; (2) "my opponent is the lowest form of life on Earth for playing on one move longer than I -- measure of all things -- deemed him entitled to play"; and (3) "I've peed my pants yet again waiting impatiently by my computer for my opponent to get back from vacation".
They all seem to be the result of excess ego and immaturity. But I'm biased and unwilling to give them a fair shake.
Hey Artfizz: Over a 150,000 people play chess every day and some of them die
From the online dictionary:
whinge (hwnj, wnj)
Actually 'whinging' is a Vernacular word, often used in Ireland and England. Here's a definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whinge
Billy Bob really doesn't like antique furniture, it's creepy...
This is Forum Police code for something, isn't it?
They're onto us! Run everyone!
That would account for them MOVING S O S L O W L Y but, at least, they can't cheat (death). They neither whinge nor whine - if only they could get a life?
