LOL. No reason to get angry there and start being rude.
Lmao. What I said wasn't rude at all. You're just being overly sensitive.
It didn't hurt me, it made me laugh.

I cba to continue this discussion.
It just baffles me that anyone would defend an early queen trade when it isn't at all necessary. It's a very boring way of playing. Suit yourself.
There's obviously a threshold at which point anybody would trade queens if there was enough of an advantage gained. In this case it's debatable but there's nothing inherently "lame" about it. I don't desperately want to trade queens but if it gave me a +1 advantage and was clearly better than other options I'd do it ever time.
Right, obviously when trading queens gives you an advantage then of course you should do it. It's just in this case it doesn't.
In a situation where trading queens gave a +1 advantage but not trading queens gave a +2 advantage then I would never trade queens.

But it does give an advantage.
Also 3. Nf3 does give an advantage.
They both give an advantage.
Do what you want. Trading queens is just lame af, especially with the white pieces. When you play with the white pieces, in principle you are supposed to attack.
If you want so badly to trade queens because you're so afraid of black's "counterplay", that's just sad.
