How's it been without me posting here lately? BORING as heck I'll bet. I've lurked about incognito and watched the quality of posts deteriorate without ME keeping you all on task. However, I'm going back underground because I have determined that you all NEED TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER or my appearances will amount to nothing more than cameos now and then.

Rest assured, I'll be watching.

I was wondering where you had gone. I meant to wish you happy anniversary, but with you not here, it slipped my mind. Yes, it has been boring here without you.

here is the scenario:

cheater_1 comes to post. he says something rediculous. a bunch of people bite the bait and start a firestorm. cheater_1 sits back and laughs at how powerful and manipulative he can be. hooray for him. but then it dies down. and people forget about him. and then one day after a long, boring, and meaningless week he is feeling lonely and impotent and it comes to him "oh, i know where i can be popular and people will pay attention to me - at Chess.com!" so then he comes back, posts something inflamatory, and then keeps hitting refresh refresh refresh refresh hoping someone will post.

cheater_1, i feel for you. it must be lonely sitting in your apartment all alone, watching ER re-runs, looking through pizza coupons, wishing you could act as brazen in real life as you do when online.

so here's my post to you: you had my attention for 60 seconds. let it warm your heart.

We don't deserve herpes either, but they just keep coming back too.

LOW BLOW!

Was cheater_1 gone from chess.com ??????    

Oh yeah, We all missed you so much cheater_1 - few noticed your departure, fewer still noticed your absence, and even fewer care about your return.

nice to have you back, it was nicer when you were gone.

I see Cheater1 - living in his parents house or grandmothers basement - pizza is involved! he is a delivery man! he is very overweight. prefers juice to water.

Has never kissed a girl - I put his age at between 32 and 45

He is alone - his online persona is his only way of connecting to people.

He is sad and afraid and has never lived up to his idea of what he should be --

He plays fantasy role player games

He is a dungeons and dragons expert

He might be a school bus driver or a bill collector

I have not missed him because I am here for CHESS not dealing with little babies~!  Cheater you stand for nothing. You are a sad clown!!

boo hoo

Correction Eric,  not his apartment, his mother's basement.

You are right Cheater, we don't deserve you.  Give us what we deserve--your permanent absence.

This nothing more than a feeling of inadequecy. Trying to make himself a note of worth where others might feed his need attention. Ignored, he finds a topic or cause to make more inflamatory statements. But only to be pitied. May he find help in his quest for his inane purpose.

Who cares?

little burden bore

Let cheater_1 be the best scribe and the worst joker here.

He rants on too much on this site, and as for your saying the "unmateable". Personally not. Get back to watching ER mate and does he still order pizzas?

Really his bickering will be his downfall and he'll take his eye off the ball sooner rather than later.

All this fom his mother's basement.

he was gone?

By the way--This is (again) the wrong forum for this type of post.  Can we have this moved as it has nothing to do with chess?

I think it's hilarious that all of you post comments that degrade Cheater_1, but each of your comments puts this post back up on the front page where it will be seen and commented on by other people...

can i just remind you that you can  vote on the disposition of this pathetic little creature here

Because trolls beget trolls.

FACT TIME: I have never lived with my grandparents. I HAVE lived in my mother's basement for several years, on and off, in my 30's. When times get tough, THAT'S what mommies are there for. I HATE "ER". I DO save pizza coupons--Red Baron Supreme is my favorite pizza. I truly live in a fantasy world and have spent MANY hours playing D&D and presently spend many hours playing video games. I LOVE DragonLance novels and am referred to as a "nerd" at least 3 times per week at my place of employment. I am in my mid 40's.

Some of you may think that I'm putting on an act here and that I act quite differently in real life. You would be WRONG. If any of you were to spend a few hours with me WITHOUT knowing I was the man behind cheater_1, you would despise me. It happens on a regular basis in my life. I have grown accustomed to being shunned--so much so that I now ENJOY it.

Let's just say that I got a new job and started in an office with 30 people. The first week, I would be welcomed as any new person would be. I would be asked to go to break/lunch with my new coworkers and perhaps out for a drink after work. After geting to know me and my STRONG opinions on EVERYTHING in life, my "The glass is half empty" attitude, 28 of the 30 people would pull back and slowly begin to avoid me. At the end of one month, there would be NO MORE than 2 of the 30 who actually enjoy my company at the workplace and ZERO workers who desire to spend time with me outside of work. The rest would either ignore me or be hurtful to me. There is no middle ground with me, love or hate, friend or foe. That is a true story, for that is how it has gone at every job or school I was at.

It is amazing what shapes a person. The series of events that takes place in one's youth that makes you who you are today. The person you are today is a DIRECT result of the choices you made yesterday or the environment you were subject to. I grew up in a middle class family with a mother and father in a nice area of the midwest USA. However, I was dealt a crummy hand. I threw 3 cards back and took another 3 and got a WORSE hand. You know the people with the golden touch? The people that succeed at whatever they do. Luck is always on their side. NATURALS. Well, I am sitting under an umbrella right now because I got this black rain cloud hanging over my head and it's POURING--and I'm INSIDE!!!

For me, hard work yielded nothing more that a sweaty, stinking body, now I avoid hard work. For me, "hope" was a never ending road--a circular route fraught with obstacles, never reaching the end. Hope is not in my vocabulary. I could go on and on.

Why am I here? Is it attention? NO. I prefer the shadows to center stage. I don't seek admiration of any sort. In fact, I am just as uncomfortable when people say they want to be my friend or that I am "cool" as when they disagree with my FLAWLESS logic and say I should be banned. I am here simply out of selfish reasons. I am here to amuse MYSELF. You all are bit players in my puppet show. It has NOTHING to do with you all. I am playing GOD.

Enough about me. How's life been treating you?

get out of here! This site doesn't need you! (Although 40% of your posts are entertaining)

Wow!  All this is harsh!  Seems he asked for it, though, judging from his second post.  Didn't read much of it.  Couldn't.  It was just so sad,
