I explained it in great detail already in the middle pages, I'll tell you again: calling out the lies deters and disuades the disingenuous liars and makes the u-400 more cautious and self conscious. And also potentially more life-fulfilling choices after the reality acceptance process
Playing "CHESS" as an under-400 ELO

It's funny how he replies to only those comments to which he has some points to make( even those are completely illogical tho) and completely skips comments to which he has no answer.
This whole thread seems really odd to me cause the OP is saying stuff like “they’re coming on waves taking over the forums, hiding in the shadows. They are planning to finish us as a logic-based community.” To me it seems like U400 players just exist and they get hated on I have seen no attempt of “takeover.”

Part of the reason why I blocked OP
Editing other's comments was the last straw for me

Explain to me just how the advice given is lies. Sure, 'do your tactics' is overrated advice, but it does work. Why would it all be lies if it's coming from players with experience? If they'd used it successfully to reach higher ratings why is it different for u400s? Instead you're here breaking down their spirits by telling them to follow your advice but not follow advice from higher rated players when the advice given is the exact same.

this is dumb, you can't get better at chess without first being bad at it, it's impossible. if you're upset with an influx of players looking to improve their skill at the game, that's your opinion, but even you were once a sub-400 player. they are still learning the game, so let them be.
never been a 400 believe it or not, sorry if that upsets you
Nobody’s born knowing openings or endgames. Everyone has a beginner phase. Making fun of 400s is basically just making fun of the earlier version of yourself.
And I never meant to offend the under-400 but to protect them
”And I never meant to offend the under-400 but to protect them.”
“You’re so bad at playing this game it’s basically another variant that you’re playing.”
”I’m just bad at it, and I’m improving. What’d I ever do to you?”
”You suck at this. Get it now?
By the way, I don’t mean to offend you; I’m actually protecting you.”
Say it with me, T-R-O-L-L.

Also you forgot how he said "taking over" and "planning to finish our community".Also "Having an under 400 ELO and playing chess IS a contradiction in itself, an incongruence, a paradox, a system error. Disregarding logic in a logic-based game.".Then he calls himself the "protector" of u400s. So he is basically protecting those who are "taking over" and "planning to finish the community" and those who "play some other variant of chess".So first of all his account needs to be banned because he is trying to help those who are trying to "take over and destroy the community."
Also I mentioned this in my comment that there has been no attempt of “takeover” U400 players just exist and they get hated on.
The essay is meant to be for free interpretation and the contradictions are intentional. The interpretation you make of It gives away your thinking pattern and where your mind is at. From what I'm seeing in your comments - the majority of you are completely lost in your own emotional mess. I already said It but: 
sorry guys - the truth has been told once again

I definetely don't hate them, thats why i said 'I support you in my heart'. About the takeover - you can think of It like a slow indirect process that IS happening on a big scale, so its not an overnight takeover
“The majority of of you are completely lost in your own emotional mess.” I’ve looked through this forum and I haven’t seen a SINGLE person agree with you does this mean everyone is lost in an emotional mess except for you or do they just simply not agree with you. In comment #48 you compare U400’s to dirt in a room and yet you state that you are there protecters. You state in comment #48 you state as a community we must keep the house clean; nicely swept as in sweeping the dirt and the dirt are the U400 but you state to be there protecters, Pick a side.

Yes because you shouldn't take being an under-400 as a part of your identity in the first place, same for 2000 elo. Thats your first mistake and many others Who come here to defend a cause they don't really understand
In comment #160 you state “About the takeover - you can think of It like a slow indirect process that IS happening on a big scale, so it’s not an overnight takeover.” But if it’s indirect that implies the U400’s don’t mean to right? And even if they are trying to “takeover” why are they coming in waves because I know a lot of low rated players and they have no intention to “takeover” and if this is coordinated how do you know? Because it seems to me U400 just simply exist and they get fought with or over.
Chess. The only game where you have to say Hello 400 times or more before you can play.
Why does this matter so much anymore??? Just put your opinion and like reply to a few people mate. Idrinkhealth is like changing sides to get his point across without looking like a villain, and everyone else is against him, and its a bunch of spam man

Jokes apart: I strongly defend the idea of people writing a 400word essay to each other before every match. Spice up the game

I feel like SOME u-400 are people who play chess when they are bored because they can't pllay any other games (like clash?) lololol
People Who can't deal with boredoom can be dangerous to themselves and to others actually. They fill prisons also
AThe vast majority of all your comments here look to me like statements from a support group from a therapy session. There's a lot of 'pat-on-the-back' comments between all these positive-vibe-low-elo players. I'm not against it tho, its just an observation
Well you did just write a whole paragraph attacking u400 players and then flipping the script and painting yourself as their 'defender'. Seemingly, anyone here would rush to oppose you and take the side of the u400s in this situation.
Not everyone tho. Gives me hope. I am , in fact, their defender
You attack them and tell them that the chess advice given by higher rated and thus more experienced players is incorrect. How is that defense? If anything that makes you the extremely public enemy of the u400 community.
