Post #22 is definitely one of the best and funniest I have ever read here
at Chess.com.
It's a pretty old joke, my dad told it to me when I was a wee little schubomb. But it's a goody :D
Chess players are hyper sensitive ego maniacs who have nothing better to do with their time than push bits of wood around on a bit of board.
Not all are like this of course some are just nuts.
There is a difference between sensitiveness and emotional. Some players are emotional, I dont know whether it is good or not. But being sensitive is really good. By the way, sensitiveness doesn't always in the negative sense.

you could say these "sensitive" people are dominated by emotion for sure and are easily agitated with their feelings.
