The Half-Finished Heaven

 

Despondency breaks off its course.
Anguish breaks off its course.
The vulture breaks off its flight.

The eager light streams out,
even the ghosts take a draught.

And our paintings see daylight,
our red beasts of the ice-age studios.

Everything begins to look around.
We walk in the sun in hundreds.

Each man is a half-open door
leading to a room for everyone.

The endless ground under us.

The water is shining among the trees.

The lake is a window into the earth.

 Tomas Transtromer

One problem with the comments made on the site is that many come from juveniles and adults who apparently have problems with social skills and act like juveniles.  When I ran a high school chess club, it included teens who were socially awkward, were or felt they were too often picked-on by others, and reacted too strongly to criticism and teasing.  I had to declare my classroom, in which we met, a "positive attitude room" where no teasing was allowed and game analysis and criticism of moves was done in an objective and "for the good of all" manner.

There are obviously some of the same people here. Some are insecure, some feel unappreciated, and some don't feel accepted unless they cheat with multiple accounts to raise their ratings so others will think they have some worth - while they themselves can't have as high an opinion about themselves!

Consequently, the moderators have to watch the comments and "ride herd" on this site much more regularly than on bicycling, stock market, and other sites I frequent.

People who react strongly to criticism (and I don't mean get a fierce desire to improve) just aren't right for chess. 

Objectivity is what it is. If you made a bad move, it's a bad move, and you should be told that straightforwardly. No offense, but "positive attitude rooms" sounds just like safe spaces - no room for truth. 

Also, who cheats with multiple accounts other than some guy 3 years ago? I hope you're not referring to me, since I just created multiple accounts so I could create new troll topics.

Did he really say this? That wouldn't be hist first statement like that, a shame one has to read such sick words even on a chess side.

I still find it funny how I was muted for my joke, yet someone saying "Hitler was right" (and I'm totally fine w/ someone expressing their opinion) is probably not going to get any action taken against him.

I was quoting and paraphrasing someone. It shouldn't be taken out of context. Regardless, the part about shouting Freebird is clearly not serious, so I doubt you say this due to serious offence or political differences. Which would be a strange juxtaposition. Images of the alt-right, etc., as pseudo-fascist are quite common in recent times. It's possible that your question is rhetorical and your position on racial differences around Freebird, and other relevant topics, is already set in stone, in which case there is no point in answering.

 

Otherwise, I'll assume you had a problem with the words or language used. For whatever reason.

 

However, as far as 'just' saying it, it has been a few days and there are some posts in between.

''quoting and paraphrasing'' at the same Time.?    

     

 ?  

So... the very first sentence is confusing enough... and then... ??

the bla bla starts to ... flow.

wow....

 This sentence sort of  bwanked me fer a moment...,

   .... the conclusion.     

''in which case there is no point in answering.''    

??   

Thank you, we look forward to never hearing of you...  

again. 

amen

Cherub its the Very thing I've pointed out for a LONG time.

admin uses their Mute/Ban Hammer INCONSISTENTLY.  but thats Old news.

the Point of this thread is clear

* Mods Don't want to further elaborate on how many disciplinary actions happened all at the same time. 

* Since there's NO big change in them- I expect no big change in the trolls or Trolling in general

* Lastly, someone really ought to get in trouble for the hitler reference.  but.  I'm wore out on reporting anything.  this comment has been BUMPED and HIGHLIGHTED so many times- that its entirely possible that nothing will happen over it.

+1 for the trolls....
