And I can choose to ask someone specific in a forum if I choose to. And they have the right to butt in with unsolicited feedback. Any more amazing observations for us?

You don't have some right to privacy in a public forum. 
Information is information regardless of who tells you it - if your question is genuine then you would welcome any information regardless of where it came from. But your question wasn't genuine, it was rhetorical. Really you're making a claim and framing it rhetorically, and he's dispensing with your claim. Framing your claims as questions doesn't give you some right to make claims unchallenged in a public context. 
Keep trying

second, my question was indeed genuine and not 'rhetorical' (which you should probably look up in a dictionary if you want to use the word correctly.) I was asking the specific person that I addressed.

a rhetorical question is: 
a question asked in order to make a statement, that does not expect an answer

Here you ask a question then make a statement which is contrary to what would be the questions answer:

Why do you play KID against the English? It was designed for D4, not C4.

If your question were not rhetorical its answer would undermine your following claim which suggests the KID ought not to be played vs C4. Since we assume you believe your claim we can therefor infer you were asking a rhetorical question, a question to which there is no valid answer and so we do not expect an answer. 
Your question is either rhetorical or your whole statement is self-contradictory as you undermine your own claim.
So no, there is not some mystery dictionary definition that will save you here or that is even relevant, try again.

No, the following exchange claims a right to privacy on a public forum:

AZPawnStar: I wasn't asking you.

GooseChess: It's a forum.

AZPawnStar: And I can choose to ask someone specific in a forum if I choose to.

As we can see, you are requesting the right not to be solicited by GooseChess with advice. That is a claim to privacy. You then go on to contradict yourself and acknowledge people have a right to speak as they see fit - that's true, but that's different than what you said here: "no one claimed a right to privacy". And I suppose the deeper problem is that you're making self-contradictory statements. 

Try again!

Third, I made no 'claim' whatsoever. (Or perhaps you could enlighten me as to what claim you feel I made.)

The bolded below claims the KID was designed to be played against D4, not C4. This is a claim:

The problem is you've contradicted yourself in multiple ways, the value is in dispensing with your nonsense.

because the formation is completely sound if white decides to take less space. You can almost view then english as a 1.d4 opening without d4.

azpawnstar is just a pure hypocrite and a troll. hes kinda dumb too tbh

I always seemed to get good play against 1c4 with the Dutch when I played it. From white's POV there aren't the sharp lines to essay against it. Although, IMO, the question of whether the effort to put effort into a defence that you will not use that often - unless also against 1d4 - is something to decide.

I like 1...b6 against 1c4, as also against 1Nf3.

Lichess opening stats suggest that 1c4 occurs 7% of the time. 1 ...f5 3% in response and 1...b6 2%. 1...b6 scores higher as well.

Although 1c4 e6 keeps Dutch options — but not Leningrad — as well as English Defence options open too.

I asked one specific person, numbnuts.

That guy didn’t respond, did he, sherlock?

TumoKonnin

Exactly, you moron

punchdrunkpatzer

The English is a tough opening to play against. I find the best way to steer it into a tactical slugfest is the Reverse Sicilian 1...e5 or the Jaenisch Gambit 1...b5. The gambit is objectively bad, but it can be a neat surprise weapon for opponents that treat the English as a system.

you guys have way to much time on your hands to be arguing about symatics about how ask what question to whom and why they can't --- come on and keep it about chess a question is asked and when you print in the forum you are not the only one wanting to know the answer or evn ask another question thats what forums are for ---- pm if what only that person to answer your question --- move on get back to chess i need anwers to many questions here i read about in the forums -- and i don't need to know about egos -- i already have one

Yeah, and because the guy didn’t respond, someone tried to help you, and you were a jerk. Shut up
