You know what, you're right. I'll report them.

Chess.com sign up text:  If you're under the age of 13 you need parental supervision.

Little kid:  That's silly. I'm a big boy.

[Random adult calls the kid stupid and whiny]

Little kid:  I don't understand. This makes me sad and angry. Why doesn't someone do something to make this more like a daycare where little kids like me can feel happy?

JackRoach

Well, I reported you Llama.

Because, whether you like it or not, you were being unfairly and randomly abusive.

I’m talking about basic human decency llama. You’re treating people like dirt for no reason. There’s no need for it whatsoever. It’s toxic nasty behaviour. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and asked yourself why you treat fellow human beings with such utter disdain?
JackRoach

Like I said, Afficionado, they usually aren't like that.

 

But despite carelessness and being drunk, their actions still shouldn't be excused.

I just can’t believe that this behaviour in this day and age is tolerated and accepted by not just the admins here but by other members of the community.

If the forums are scary, you could always make a club, invite your friends (make 9 out of 10 of them mods) and talk about... whatever it is kids talk about.

Do you think it’s ok to talk to people that way? I mean - if you got drunk in a bar would you have been just as abusive to strangers as you are here? I’m going to go out on a limb and say no?
Afficionado88
Lichess is better than chess.com!!!

Hi mods. Now that I have your attention are you going to do something about that abusive troll?

Yeah. I wasn't even that bad to you.

I can't believe you're defending yourself though. 

You definitely wouldn't defend anyone else who said what you said.

Dude. Try abs be a kinder person. There’s no need to be so toxic and nasty. Whatever it is that makes you drink until you’re drunk and abusive - whatever it is in your life that has you so bitter and angry - it will get better. You should talk to a medical professional about getting you the help you need, addressing your personality disorder and weaning you off the alcohol. I wish you all the best in the future and I hope you get better. Genuinely. Peace and love dude.

Of course not. It'd be too much fun for me to argue with someone like me. We'd argue for a bit and then we'd be friendly with each other.

If you mean I wouldn't defend an adult bullying a little kid... well you're right, I wouldn't. And if I met you in real life, we'd both treat each other very differently. I think that's one problem with online stuff... you can't tell who you're talking to... because again, if someone were being "abusive" to me like that, I'd either have fun "fighting" with them, or I'd ignore them.

So I think it leads to situations like this where I treat you like a peer and you get upset, and then you demand I treat you like you would treat a peer (you want me to act like a kid).

Yeah. So you know what you said was wrong then.

But they you go with the, "Life isn't fair,  deal with it. Go in those 2 year old clubs instead," act.

That's a nice sentiment, thanks.

I realize that what I did was selfish, i.e. saying whatever I wanted because I found it fun... and, you know, I'm not trying to make enemies here. I hope you can have some peace and love too wink.png

Was it really so bad?

If he asked me to apologize for a particular post I might do it.

Or else you risk getting health problems due to alcohol abuse

Did you know that cirrhosis of the liver is a leading cause of death in male Americans?

That has nothing to do with the forum though. You said the moral is "don't drink and forum."

No I’m happy to leave this go and drop it. No point in prolonging the misery of something someone did when they are drunk when they probably regret it and realise that it was wrong. I’m not into kicking anyone when they are clearly struggling and this community should be kinder and help out fellow members when they see that they are struggling.
