It’s the internet mate, and it’s anonymity which encourages this sort of behavior ! 🤷♂️

I’ve learned that it’s best to ignore this sort of thing . In the past I used to just give as good as I got , but inevitably this would usually start a war , which can be a wast of one’s time , and rather boring .
Toxic seems to of become abit of a buzz word round here. I wonder if people know what it really means

Just ignore those toxic players around 2000 ELO, which is incredibly mediocre in the big schema of chess things, but still enjoy acting like they are the best players on the site.
I suggested to a player to study positional play along tactics the other day, and I dared mentioned I am a 1800 ELO player in longer time controls (but Im 1200 in rapid because I just blunder almost every game in fast time controls), and instead of criticising my advise with real arguments addressing my points, some random 2100 decided to focus his whole argument I was exaggerating or lying about my rating. Imagine studying chess all your life and being just 300 points ELO above a player like me who has not read a single article of chess in their life, and bragging about it 
Just ignore toxic people.

True... I had been following that thread for quite a bit....maybe upto 1/4th of all the comments there. You could see my comment there....I believe it's some sort of ego problem in her.

--- Good advice. Also a person needs to ask themselves the reason why they are on this site: to have fun playing Chess, to chat with people from around the world, or to waste time getting into endless arguments.

Ok...
Who's hungry?
I had to have a power level over 8000 fide, in order to win this match.
Yeah definitely, you must have the scouter upside down ....
Hit em where it hurts. Talk about his momma
But now I believe why Steinitz came up with the idea of having telekinesis, but only for chess pieces nothing else .... Now it's up to you to figure it out.

Did you notice how it's never a titled player, a Master, IM, GM, etc, who are toxic on the forums? It's always those mediocre, barely-holding 2000 players, who have apparently studied all their life and still can barely make it past 2000, who are always aggressive to amateur players?
yeah screw that 2000 rating toxic players

In fact, some people here are so toxic, that when you don't take their comments to heart, and look at the bigger picture, it becomes quite obvious and hilarious how they are wasting their own time and fighting over nothing. Here, is a good example of this: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/new-to-this-site-how-do-i-play-a-game-with-myself . On that thread, the queen of chess herself/himself (I think you can guess who that is without having to say their name) started a giant toxic fight that lasted 2 days and spanned over more than 5 pages. She/he could have just replied with the link to the analysis board, yet she/he chooses to not only to ruin some people's day by wasting their time but also wasted her/his own time by being unnecessary toxic. Its really funny how she/he just wastes her/his own time, but I still think its a big problem that some people here are that toxic and are not willing to behave maturely. Why are people this toxic and why do mods do nothing about them?
yes ur new but also that person tonya is a big failuire who doesnt know how to speak and even if it was a troll attempt she miserably failed and/or had no reasoning and etc
