Why I refuse to pay for membership.

Too bad you don't play chess as well as you keep a silly thread going.

You'd be a GM by now.

" If this keeps up, I'll just end up leaving the site completely." Taken directly from my original post. "IF THIS KEEPS UP" That is not the same as "I AM LEAVING THE SITE." You really need to do as I suggested and go back and read the original post. Your reading comprehension is either very poor or you only skimmed my original post and did not actually read it.

"if you never suggested you were going to leave the site, why would he hope you changed your mind about leaving the site?"

That is as simple as he misunderstood what I said. Much as you are doing. How does someone else's misunderstanding reflect on my critical reading skills? That's a rehtorical question, by the way. It doesn't. You have yet to offer up any tangible example that points out to me being overly-defensive and uncomprehensive. The simple fact is that I have only defended myself against people who openly insulted me for no other reason than they had nothing productive to add.

I cannot possibly make that any clearer. It is all right in front of your face if you would simply take the time to read the posts.  

I'd be a GM by now, you say? You're seriously overestimating my skills. And I'm not actually keeping the thread going. People who keep replying to my original post are the ones who keep it going. And people like you, of course who keep coming back to leave comments about how the thread is still going without ever seeing the irony of their own participation in said thread which only keeps it going. And going. And going. Like that cute bunny with the drum. And going. And going....

You don't have to respond. This is how you deal with people you feel are not getting what you are saying. Why should you care what we think and spend your energy trying to change our minds?

You're right. I don't have to respond. I choose to. I'm not trying to change anybody's mind. You're a troll. You have not offered up a single productive comment since you've been here. You have only made half-assed insults based off of your own delusional perceptions. I made a thread, I complained about a problem I was having, and I had people respond to me with helpful suggestions. You on the other hand have offered nothing tangible. I'll say it again. You're a troll. I don't need to convince you of this. You already know it. I never said I cared what you think because I don't. As I said already, I am responding to these comments in between chapters of the book I'm reading. It is an effortless task and I find it amusing. I think trolls like you are funny because I've never been bothered by trolling and that simple fact drives them crazy. That's why you keep coming back. That's why you keep trying to get under my skin. Because it's driving you nuts that your fruitless efforts to troll me are as inconsequential as a single gnat in the forest. And that's why you'll respond to this with more insults, hoping to strike some nerve in me. And that's why I find you so damn amusing. My amusement will not end until you stop responding because, unlike you I will not go out of my way to goad you. I will not seek out some thread you made in order to keep getting a reaction from you because I do not find it necessary to troll someone for my own benefit. I may respond to trolls but I never need to stoop down to their level. Out of the two of us, you're the only one going out of his way in an attempt to make some asinine point (of which I cannot possibly know what that point is because everything you say is quite pointless). I, on the other hand am only returning to a thread that I started which is, in every sense perfectly natural. It's my thread, after all. I started it. Why would I not respond to it? 

Wow, all that energy on little  ol' me.

I'm flattered.

Effortless. Adjective. ef-fort-less Requiring no physical or mental exertion.

You obviously didn't know. See now? At least you can walk away having learned something.

I was right. You responded. Again. Have you proved to yourself whatever it is you are trying to prove? I hope not. Because then would end my amusement. Please, keep going. That last chapter was a short one. I'll check back in after the next one. 

Okie, now it is becoming more apparent that you have the hots for me or something.

Thanks for the love, but I'm already taken.

Ahahahaha! Oh my. Don't we have a high opinion of ourselves. And yet it is you who keeps coming back. You have made your comments, quit, and then come back. It is only natural that I respond to comments in my own thread. Not to mention the almost adorable kissy face you've already left me. You're the only one going out of your way to respond to me. Easy there Peppy. The stripe down my back is just paint. I'm really a cat. 

Luckily the comments have a limited length preventing long-winded rambling.

You're too easy. 

Oh I can assure you I'm not easy. No matter how hard you try, you're not getting in to my pants. It's a no troll zone.

I feel the pain!

You just can't help yourself, can you?

Have you come back too? For what? To defend your girlfriend's honor? It doesn't matter. Please, keep replying. Every time you do, you keep proving me right. You want to talk about my vocabulary? And what profanity? You're not even making sense anymore. In case anybody wants to know, this is what it looks like when a troll flounders. 

It has nothing to do with "helping myself". I have already made it clear that I choose to reply. I keep coming back to the thread I created. You are the only one going out of your way. This is obviously very important to you. 

Watch. I bet you'll do it again.

If I were a mod, I think I'd mercy kill this thread.  Still, it's always nice to see folks make new friends here. 

Shudup!!!
