That's not the same as being banned! *phew
News Flash!! Sarcasm gets you banned.
Sort:
There's a full discussion of this enduring problem in another thread.
I'd be a mute! There are some bullies out there, so you got a political corretness slap on the wrist. Wear it proudly and don't tease the bears.
apparently being admittedly sarcastic and annoying can get a whole team banned, too!

a group i was in doesn't exist anymore!
like annoying people or not, but banning their team for having a difference of opinion is down right facist.period.

We were all diverted here. Erik is an alien, Staff has gone mad, and WHO took my cigarettes?

Put the smokes down and slowly back away from the ashtray.

You are saying that we are interacting in a virtual reality that appears to be chess.com and that we believe to be chess.com...
No, not a "weak minded looser (sic)". The nicotine addiction is one of the hardest to break, and Ronald has been doing great in his efforts to quit. He is down to just a couple or so per day.
So stop acting like an assclown.
Banning sarcasm? Who had this brilliant idea?
It might not be because you were sarcastic. Perhaps it was because of your good looks, intelligence , chess ability and reputation of your country for being more interesting than theirs ?

I liked the guy who said, "Quitting smoking? It's easy. I've done it hundreds of times!"

I only smoke one cigarette - one after another.

I wouldn't be too bothered by that. Sometimes you get the same treatment for no particular reason at all.
And let's not forget the old chestnut:
"Sarcasm, after all, is merely the quick recourse of a weak mind..."
I don't like to be sarcastic except when someone posts a thread with the formula: If A played B, who would win ? Whatof good will come out of winning the argument in such hypothetical questions ? Still, these threads keep coming , ad infinitum.

I'd say that not only is this thread the best ever on Chess.com but the best on any forum anywhere....Possibly more educational than the works of Shakespeare, the Bible and all of Plato's writings put together !

That is a crappy quote. Oscar Wilde said a lot of dumb stuff.
