dunce cap was an insult to me right, so i cannot get banned for a equivocal message, because i am not necessarily saying you are an idiot. Just have to watch my back because he has friends in high places on this site who are trying to ban me for the most miniscule reason.

True, lgt, one can only be banned for an unequivocal message.

So please be direct, right here, right now, and state what your "message" actually is.

If you have the cojones, "brah".

Once you get banned for the clear insult to me about the dunce cap, then I will explain my message.

I have worn the dunce cap many times "brah" and it has been an honor, and a valuable learning experience.

Now step up the plate, make eye contact with the pitcher, and take a swing!!!

Ok, igh, i get it, You're afraid to actually step up to the plate, and face the music.

Because if you swing and miss, and the Umpire calls "strike", you'll claim that you  didn't know the rules.

Where are you now, lgh, on the floor, looking for your abacus beads???

I am only permitted to sleep on a yoga mat alone, in the deep forest.

I am allowed a straw pillow and a  Slumberjacktm  -20 fahrenheit rated sleeping bag.

Thank God for small favors.

Explain the move to your opponent, including the rules regarding it.  To be more convincing, explain when en passant came to be and why it exists.  If they still complain, tell them they can look it up.

Is this a metaphor for the person who purposely wittholds the en passant rule from their opponent for a myopic advantage of winning an inconsequential chess game. Deep stuff brah, deep

Exactly, your oppenent could lie to you if he forgot about the rule...
