Play the semi slav. It's similar to the colle and the same general ideas. However I'd probably recommend you watch some Vids on it first

Be very careful making unsubstantiated claims on a public forum about real life people. People have been sued for less.

Seriously? thank you I didn't know about that
In post #8 you mentioned your "joining the ChessMood family". You can argue that this does not necessarily mean you're paid, in direct or indirect ways, for your recent posts. But these posts are clearly financing your image as a persistent promoter of that site.
I have been using chessmood for around 4 months and GM always uses "chessmood family" in the courses, so I used ChessMood family, if you join and don't get any help or learn nothing, (if you're 1500-2500 elo rated player) then you can shame me, but now I help you by telling my favorite arena to improve your chess skills, then it's your choice, if you want to check it or not, but just a small advice - don't say things that you don't know.
This is a clear case of libel. Contact a lawyer and contact chess.com, these comments are, without question, defamatory and libelous.

I don't know whether you're actually a paid promoter, and I have no inclination to find it out. What I do know is that you have pushed this site, where courses are marketed at relatively high prices (the Benko Gambit course would cost $90, for example), in countless threads here on Chess.com. In most of the threads, including this one, the OP did not ask for recommendation for paid courses or other commercial products.
Your posts are clearly an act of promotion. If you don't like being called a promoter, maybe we can award you the title of ad spammer?
And don't forget that Chess.com has a rule of not talking about rival sites.
Now let's see exactly what you've done:

I just checked a few threads in the Openings category and, wow, your ads are everywhere...
Let's go back to the subject: Horwitz defense is this:
If I play this I would hope to transpose to the french, but this doesn't happen often cz the French is so good so I play Nf6
Actually the Pirc is not garbage @ThrillerFan .
It may be inferior to the more major lines, but it is nonetheless reasonable. Against d4 1. d6 is actually quite fine, aiming for an Old Indian or a Philidor
