All that target practice must be helping

I don't remember anything the guys ever said but i recognize his pfp and remember thinking he looks like batista from dexter LOL
"I don't remember anything the guy ever said". He said he was muted in lichess...... now Abuse on Chess.com...... he's going for the Trifecta.
Without wishing to be a party pooper, would you all try to be mindful of what reading 12 pages and counting, of this kind of critique on a person's character might do to someone should they happen to read it?

This would go across better if Coolout was not notorious for not caring what his posts might do to people reading them .

He habitually, and without cause, ridiculed anyone who disagreed with him... and this topic isn't even that harsh on him. Plenty of posts saying he wasn't that bad.
@CooloutAC motivated me.
BTW you know who else is not 2000 rated even though chess is their life? @ziryab. You gonna tell me that guy didn't put in the work for the past 20 years? 😂🤣

Chess is not my life. Yes, I’ve played it for more than 50 years. I’ve played it almost every day since the mid-1990s. I’ve been an online blitz junkie since 1998. I have something over 400 chess books and I’ve spent a lot of time reading them. I’ve been coaching children for 22 years. I’ve written some chess books. I’ve spent more time on chess than most people. More time has been spent playing than teaching. More time has been spent teaching than learning. I learned the game before the age of 10, but improved my game substantially in my 40s. Now in my 60s, I’m still learning, but my skill overall is not improving much, if at all. My blitz ability suffers even more. In my 40s, I could play 120 moves in a one minute game using the touch pad on my laptop computer. I struggle to play half that many today.
As for my life: this is a chess site, so that’s the side you see. I prefer the river, the lake, the woods. I fish. I hunt. I shoot targets for fun. I bought an old gun just because it would be fun to work on it and to shoot it. I rebuilt some parts that were missing. It was manufactured as a military rifle, then drastically modified as a sporting arm. Might be getting a lead furnace so I can cast bullets for this antique, but in the meantime, Montana Bullet Works can sell me what I need.
I’m a history teacher. That’s my life.
If my life had been devoted to reaching a 2000 blitz rating on a chess site, I would have done it.
Oh, wait. It wasn’t my goal, but I did get over 2000 in blitz on this site less than two years ago. Since then, most of my blitz has been when I’m not focused and just killing time.
@CooloutAC said I was 1700 in blitz. Over the past 90 days, I was almost there. Hadn’t been paying attention until he mentioned it.
Now:

Everyone knows Rome was founded by Romulans and their Uncle Remus.

I have no doubt that he's back on the site already and has read it all. As has been said: The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.
