If someone does not want to "just" follow opening principles, you think it can be concluded that the person needs to be advised that all openings involve principles?
...
Since it does appear that you are fixated on me, ... I do think you have an agenda.
Are you confirming that you are indeed IMBacon and/or SoupTime4? Anyway, I am indeed concerned about such activities as telling people in a thread that "all openings involve principles" without being aware of anything specific, written in the thread, indicating a lack of awareness of that information. You can call that an agenda if you like. Do you (under some name or other) do things like that a lot?
Just follow opening principles. ...

… all openings involve principles.
Did anyone indicate otherwise?
... some need to be advised [that all openings involve principles]. ...
Did anyone in this thread write something specific that indicates a need to be advised that all openings involve principles?
I dont know. … why does that require you to be the forum dungeon master?
I am not required by anyone to do anything here. Were you required to tell people that all openings involve principles?

It would help.
You think it would help to tell people what they already know?
Please, just shut down the @IamBaconagain and his other sock puppet accounts again. He's just trying to get threads closed.
... If you dont understand that all openings involve principles, ...
I do. (Well, I guess I would not want to claim that I know about all openings, but I understand that principles are involved in the openings commonly discussed in books.)

My decisions are a matter of choice. Did you tell people here that all openings involve principles because you were unable to help yourself?
@Bacon and @spongey give a good reason for gun controls. Argue as much as you like, but can you please... Stop doing the stretchy long quote thing?!

See above.
... I was stating a fact. ...
In a post in this thread.
Polite warning to Bacon and Spongey: please no more sniping at each other. I have never done this, which is banning people from a thread because I'm a fervent believer in responsible free speech aka the First Amendment but you guys are quarreling way too much, and its distracting to folks.
Please. Stop.
but are you the real bacon?
The only real bacon is pork bacon!

"... The double king pawn opening ... forces you to be familiar with all kinds of different openings from the Scotch to the King's Gambit to the Guioco Piano and of course the Spanish Torture - the Ruy Lopez. I think the Sicilian just got a reputation for needing to know a lot of theory for due to specific sharp lines or stupid people learning reams of variations to try to force the dragon to still work against white's common sense moves." - Uhohspaghettio1 (~11 hours ago)
