The paying vs. free community (and trolling)

@topman75: excellent point, u can make chess.com as exclusive as u want.

If your government is doing this, it's your government that is full of garbage.  The Internet is a free speech zone full of all the things human beings want to say.  Some of that is "garbage," some of it is treasure, but all of it is free speech and any government that wants to cut down on free speech is an enemy of the people.

Wow now this discussion has gone somewhere else :)

""All of it is free speech and any government..etc." Mmm...u sure? What about propaganda initiated by terrorist groups, anti democracy organisations and any others hell bent on restricting freedom of speech? Remember one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter!

[Sits back and waits for mods to close the thread!]

Wherever that odious phrase "the people" enters, good sense tends to go out the window.

Hey, you're just another actor like the rest of us (no directing!).

But he's not a low cost basic member, he has privileges

Damn turnipheads!  They all wanna produce!

We the people,believe in free speech for those who agree w/ our view-point.The rest we the people dis-card on the heap of also rans...we say no taxes,more food stamps and checks each month for all the people(except those that disagree w/ us. Long live chess.com...i'm still not paying!

I find this thread hilarious, despite the fact that we on here have a common interest that we are all passionate about (that's chess just in case u had forgotten) we still strive to seek out ways of differentiating between each other. In this case, payers and non payers. Funny old world!

You forgot the almost non payers.

Dammit, we will not be ignored.

...anyway, moving on...:0)

U find no peace in running from truth. A man stands for his beliefs. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.....

Eddy...u talk funny!

Well I had thought about making another comment here but I've been told that I am just a non-contributing leech who is also stupid to boot. So I guess that I better just sit quietly on the bare floor here in the corner eating my dry bread ( & drinking my plain water ) and hope that I don't get the bum's rush that I seem to deserve. Woe is me !

Oh great, now you guys have made cab cry!  I hope you're all satisfied.

Thanks for the concern AndyClifton. I may have to watch one of my Pink Panther movies again to cheer me up ( Oh and in reality I do have a folding chair to sit on here ).  

Might I suggest my favorite?...

Whats that pop song?

I don't want to make you cry?

Don't want to say goodbye

Don't want to run around and desert you

Lift you up.
