My doctor called me a taxi for getting to the hospital. This name-calling involving forms of transport is becoming ridiculous.
Am I an idiot?

It sounds like a plug for another chess website. Chessplanet is an Austrailian chess website and doesnt even have chess.com featured under their 'cool links'. How could they!?
Dude, why not just leave it alone? If your coach is a hothead, so what?

That is the real site...
http://www.chessplanet.com/ - quality site! :)
Although it does have a quote from the eminent Dr. G. Dullea on the front page to the effect of "Chess makes kids smarter". Unfortunately a Google search for Dr. G. only yields the chessplanet site, so it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
I guess I just find those kid of blanket statements annoying.
"Should he have called me an idiot in the first place"
That is an interesting question, as we don't know you, but he does. Are you an idiot? and would you mind wearing that cap if it fits? 
Seriously pineapple what is up with your posts? I think your teacher "Mr. Wizard" doesn't exist, so why waste everyone's time?
While we're keeping this open, let's find out if anyone else is an idiot...am I an idiot as well? Any comments are welcome! :-)

BirdBrain,
Your screenname does suggest a certain...intellectual capacity 
It's double-edged...it refers to my love for 1. f4, and for the fact that occasionally, I play a BAD move! lol so it stuck!

It may have been intended as a compliment - if he meant idiot savant (although this is strictly speaking no longer an OK term).

Preferable to calling you a hearse.

PC Thug is, strictly speaking, no longer an OKily-Dokily term - having been used on The Simpsons. http://everything2.com/e2node/PC%2520Thug

If I called you a donkey, would you feel insulted?
1) No... it's better than being called an elephant.
2) Nope, that's a compliment where I'm from.
3) Depends which part of my anatomy you're referring to.

It's not a good sign if you actually have to ask.
