Was "flack" a reference to the reaction to the first TheObchessedOne post?
About 10 hours ago, I asked, "Does it really make sense to give someone 'flack' (e. g. '... You're playing Black, fool! ...') for asking a question 'in the vein of the question every beginner asks'?"
What answer did you give?

Does it really make sense to give someone "flack" (e. g. "... You're playing Black, fool! ...") for asking a question "in the vein of the question every beginner asks"?

Absolutely it makes sense. Whne ypu post a question that has been asled a billion times, and do not take the time to research it first? ...

Does it say somewhere that one is obliged to research a question before asking?

... Is it written somewhere that past events are to be repeated for future gain?

Is repetition likely when there are new beginners all the time? Do some people seem to have no problem with this?

Is repetition necessary when the answers are already available?

Who decided that repetition is only acceptable when meeting your notion of necessity?

Who decided that repetition is only one persons notion?

I guess we can get by without the help of BobbyTalparov on whether or not "flack" was a reference to the reaction to the first TheObchessedOne post. We can also look up the reaction to the question about whether or not the flack-giving made sense. It was about 9 hours ago.

Not sure what you mean by "the" answers. In any event, is it written somewhere that chess.com is to conform to your notion of what should go on in a class?

The original TheObchessedOne post was about 15 hours ago. The "fool" post was about 14 hours ago. Like post #8, the "not worthy" post was about 13 hours ago. About 12 hours ago, there was the post with, "... You ask a moronic question in the vein of the question every beginner asks and wonder why you get flack for it. ..."

Did your sentence refer to TheObchessedOne getting "flack for" the first post of TheObchessedOne? Were the comments of ThrillerFan part of that "flack"?

About 10 hours ago, there was reaction. I leave it for you to say whether or not there was an affirmative answer.

Do you have a quote of me dictating something?

When I'm asked a naive question, here is a simple test that I use to decide if the reply I'm about to give is too harsh (lacking basic human empathy).

I ask myself: "Would I talk this way to my little sister or brother?".  If not, then I take a deep breath, release my tension and impatience, and soften my words.  This approach allows me to avoid the regret of unnecessarily offending my fellow humans.  And this also allows more effective communication.
