Thanks guys. I always try to make sensible contribution to the forums here but I am constantly bemused by how many potentially interesting threads get derailed by imbeciles.
Bullying

Now i see...
A snowflake....millennial...or whatever you want to call it. You forgot to play the race card. But nicely done playing the Im offended, and victim card.

Public shaming is not allowed.
sigh stop trying to enforce the rules
Its okay I guess, it just makes you a bit annoying
Everyone calls me annoying. Of course the rules are annoying. I am annoying to everyone. Typical.

Are you quite sure you're not @jackroach?

Thank you for proving my point. Good Lord, turn off the tv, put down the phone, and learn to think for yourself.
The best part is that he thinks it's racist when the only hint of any racism is "I think it's because I'm Irish and they're British". When chess is being discussed.
I know its a right of passage to complain about the next generation. But seriously? What is wrong with kids now??? I have never seen a generation that is so lost, so out of touch with reality, so easily controlled, so offended over everything. The level of mental, and or emotional immaturity is scary. And the level of "Im entitled!!!" is off the charts.
the 3 most popular cards:
1. Race card
2. I'm offended card.
3. Victim card.
doesn't even seem like he's a kid, he's probably some immature 30 year old, based on his grammar and word use
Physically? No
Mentally and emotionally? Oh Yea.

No, considering my name is @AunTheKnight.

Either he's a child or a troll, most likely a child. I don't understand how he thinks 86% is cheating when he put literally no resistance to his opponent. If that was cheating, basically everybody on chess.com would have been banned by now.

don't enforce it you don't have too and least you'll get less hate lol

Another dumb thread that should have been locked/deleted from the get-go but allowed to putrefy in the forums.

Although the OP didn't say the name of his opponent in the mentioned game, it only took me about 10 seconds to find out. I didn't get the impression of any cheating going on. The thread should never have been started. Just my two cents...

Ha, I am part of that generation. But don't worry, we're eradicating racism from math.
