I agree with the op. If you're an NM (ninja master), you don't wanna box the big boy in. He's gotta come out shouting and slicing.
I guess I need to learn more because right now I hate castling. Maybe I am too much of a novice, but castling seems like a stall tactic.

I am not ignoring the advice of stronger players. I am trying to understand.
Following without understanding is a net zero, in my opinion.
