Chess community at large, from what I've seen, has always been pretty [removed -- MS] elitist and extremely dismissive towards casuals and amateurs, and similarly seem to worship the ground Ms/GMs walk on.

Worship the hi rated and trample humiliate the commoner player, there is no justice, the dark ugly side  of so called humanity in vulgar blatant display in this unreal world of self proclaimed geniuses

you dont have to play against high rated players. no one is forcing you. Why not just play casually against people rated your level or with friends. Thats just defeatism

Shouldn't your conclusion be "... so people are jerks on the Internet"?

What does the behavior you cite have to do with chess? It happens in EVERY sort of online venue.

I think he claims chess is a garbage game because those who take it seriously belittle most people by making claims like only those who can beat 999 999 out of a million people are good at chess.

Does this guy ever reply to the comments in his threads? I think he may be elitist.

When people say "This is a garbage game", what they usually mean is "I am garbage at this game".

Yup

Players tend to lash out like this when they're feeling frustrated.

It attracts condemnation and disapproval, but it's usually a cry for help ...

You are dashingly handsome, though, so there's that.
