No, that's not an example. Have another go.
erik, we are frustrated

you can’t think beyond what you read in books
Oh wow, that's your insult? Spoken like someone who's jealous of literacy.
Not a good look.

talk to someone who is interested in your thoughtless CRAP. you are too boring to converse with.
In order to insult well, you need to get to know the person first.
Having a good knowledge of the person's history may help, so you can see which past events have the most detrimental effect on him. And then you use those events to hit him hard.
that sounds like a lot of detective work. not much to know really, i mean you can see it’s mostly argumentative old geezers with next to zero social skills.
Chess.com forum is full of old people and kids. That's probably the root of the problem.

These forums give a warped impression of reality.
Here, in this place, 99% of people are idiots.
No. Many are decently intelligent people that are just acting like idiots and trolls in order to elicit a reaction in which they find pleasure.
You're a teenager.

bye girls, enjoy the rant.
Weak sauce as usual.
See you against sometime soon.

There's so much evidence it's painful.
People probably think I use age as an insult... well I do... but it's for more than one reason. Sure one of the reasons is I'm a jerk. Ok.
But the other is to protect myself. If the adults of the world are this stupid, then I don't want to live here. So I tell myself they're kids.
In any case, you say "no evidence" but you reek of being a teen. Maybe you're not, who knows, but you reek of it. Just saying.

I have no problem with Al, and I assume he has no problem with me.
I appreciate the RSS, but never felt like it was a good fit for me. They're a little older and more creative than me.
I don't know your original account, but from what I've seen of you it's flattery to compare yourself to them.

spider, try to stay with the conversation. just four days ago i wrote that i had the freeze-out after trying to accept an open seek from one rated 1100.
not titled.
same thing happened earlier and this bug needs attention. what are "protected" players?
You ought to Message @erik about your issues directly.
Y'know, he probably doesn't bother looking at threads too much, he's got the moderators and auto-muters for the job!
@erik specifically asks on his profile for people to not submit support/site issues to him via message. That is likely least effective way to communicate issues
martin, what you write is perfectly understandable. however....
.....i started this topic with erik in the title specifically because of the lack of staff responses to many issues. back when david was active, he locked one of my topics citing mention of competitors. when i restarted a duplicate, he wrote that he would not respond-https://www.chess.com/forum/view/help-support/v3-questions-part-two post #9.
seems pretty arrogant for staff to come out and say they don't care about member's concerns.

I agree there isn't always a response. I've experienced it myself, there's def room for improvement. But we have to realize nothing is perfect or permanent in this world. Chess.com is still one of the best (if not the best) chess sites today.

perhaps a matter of perspective? i'm 50 years old (yes, i know i still look good ) and i remember what customer service meant.
i've also been here ten years, and remember at least one topic started by erik asking the members what their thoughts were.
Based on considerable experience of real examples (plus knowledge of the chess.com policy regarding cheating), your claim is complete nonsense. Provide an example if you weren't just making it up (for whatever reason that might be).
