I love how it's the Aussie mentioning poor internet connection

What's so odd about that? I live in Australia and never once, as long as I have been using my internet, have I ever disconnected. Not for a second. It's funny that its a US citizen who is pointing out irony that's not true. If you are saying what I believe you to be saying, that is. wink.png

Haha - right?

Not that funny. It's national arrogance. I'm surprised, seeing as you have Trump for president.

None of the moderators do, at least not after they've been a moderator for any length of time: sometimes new mods can be a little overzealous at first, but they learn pretty quickly just how tolerant Chess.com is of most sorts of behaviours.

But we will ask people to stay within the Terms of Service and other Chess.com policies, as I've done above, and act if people seem to be ignoring or trying to skirt around those rules.

Not even going to lie

Maybe it's legitimately that I'm scared, and the nerves kick in, but I swear for the same rank Indian players decimate me.

I'm quoting this from the Sydney Morning Herald "The Ookla Speed Test Global Index ranked Australia as 55th in the world for fixed broadband in December, with an average download speed of 25.88 Mbps. Australia's internet speeds are lagging behind global averages.Jan 8, 2018". There's no need to get so anal about a simple joke and bring in politics.

I once played a great game against a member of the Cherokee tribe. It was hardcore and afterwards we smoked a peace pipe together. Good times.

Good one java and joint!

Careful, the Daveinator is a very dangerous force. He has killed many with his green pawn.
