Goodbye to free information

I poured my heart out into these forums and all I get is people that want to sift information about me in an attempt to exploit me.  I must confess that I have not been very appreciative of the advice I had got from people on these forums in the past, and now know after having helped several people, most people, are just unappreciative.  All they will do is say, "Thanks," and that's it.  Some will add you to their friends list so they can snoop in on what you are doing.  I have a few friends like that right now.  

There are Trolls, who bait you to try get personal information from you or give you free chess advice.  (or something else)  There are the ungrateful [not really nedded -- MOD] who just want your advice and give nothing but a thank you in return for all your work.  

What I learned is that no body cares about meeting new people in chess.com.  All they want to do is become better at chess than you, and they will gain anything they can to get an edge, and not give anything back.  And there are the Trolls, who only seek to hurt people.

What a sad place these forums are.  There are a few good people here, but, due to the nature of these forums, those good people can't say much to help.

I've learned that these forums are useless to me, as apparently no one cares what I say anymore.  Probably because of my bad grammar, being the lazy guy that I am, I do not take time to run to my grammar book and correct my sentences.  I understand it makes what I say hard to understand, however, I see these forums as a casual place to chat, and do not care to waste even more time correcting the grammar of a post that will receive no responses at all.  

I've officially had enough.  I am attempting to learn how to not feed the trolls, and will stop giving free chess advice.  I am no where near master, but if all you are going to do is say thank you and move on because you want to eventually get "better than me," and just merely use me as a tool for your chess success, then I don't want any part in your twisted world of making it big at chess without bothering to follow the golden rule, which is, to treat people as they ought to be treated, and not just use people like a paper towel.

When I give out information, I do it for the sake of education, not for the gratitude or "friendship" of another.  A "thanks" is more than enough payment for what should be free.  Expecting something in return is a wasteful expectition.  

Note:  Grammar is not something you should constantally reference.  It should be as natural as simple addition.

 You have psychological issues.  Seek help.  

Mr. DeLeon don't be aggravated, drink a vodka.

I don't talk much, but this time, I will spend my time for you, even there is my exam tomorrow.

Stop talking, why don't you think a good idea, just like you do in chess, if you want reward, do it  on your neighbors. Ask them (usually kids) if they want to learn chess from you, so then for reward they pay you. Thats the most logical thinking by now from me.

But remember, knowledge is supposed to be spread like a virus, not a feedback you hope. Knowledge has no patent, Anyways, they learn from you, means they are somehow dumber than you... why do you need them to give you advice? Just use more time to discus with your good friends in your chess community.

That's all of it Mr. Albert, if you feel insulted I beg for your pardons and contact me to delete this thread.

"I am attempting to learn how to not feed the trolls, and will stop giving free chess advice."

But earlier, you stated "There are Trolls, who bait you to try get personal information from you or give you free chess advice."

Which is it? You show an outer appearance to want to get along and share information, but statements like this show your instincts are the very thing you oppose.

I mean in the future I am going to attempt to stop to feed the trolls.

I guess I can learn to just stop spoon feeding people and learn to stop giving away personal information.  

I don't drink Chris.

Thanks for your feedback, I am going to see if my nephews will want to learn to play chess.

That is an interesting point.  He may be a bot.

Oh how cute.  Did that make you feel better?  

Perhaps you might care to elaborate.  What symtoms did I show and where did you get your Phd btw?

I think so.  They come out at night.  Try and get you when you are down.  your not a troll.  Your a comedian.

Mr. Daybreak ... build a wall to keep the trolls away. It worked for the Chinese.

I used to know someone that was really good with women.  He married a hot Romanian and later started to write a sex blog.  People would ask him questions all the time.  Most people, would just say, "thanks," and thats it.

The fact of the matter is this is normal behavior.  I am just merely expressing my distaste for the norm, and decided not to take it anymore.  I'm not going to waste my time writing long posts when all I get is nothing.

I'll have you know that every chess coach I went to has told me that they have learned something from me.  It's one thing to have a two way street communication between mentor and student, it's another thing to just sit there and wait for the information to come, giving absolutely no feedback.  Silman even says he learns from his students.  Why is it so difficult for people to comprendend that giving nothing back really is a technique of the vicious who only seek to improve themselves not caring about the person pouring their heart out to them.  

Congradutions captain obvious.  You learned I don't know how to spell by identifying that I miss spelled a word.  Did you think I was going to cry to my mommy for telling me something I already knew?

The fact that you had to write it out means you where seeking attention.

perhaps this is why your planet is in ruins, a sophisticated game developed by inteligent people for the sole purpose of competitive entertainment has become the catalyst for mindless self indulgence and juvenile bickering.

Done. Not a bad puzzle!

I think chess.com should do the smart thing and at least check the ip addresses on those other trolls perhaps they are the same as Kaynights...???

Yes I'm Jesus Christ.  What every I say is gospel.  If I said I was going to stop writing long posts that means I would never change my mind and apparently you didn't read one of my short posts...  Yeah everyone who writes long posts must be a total loser anyway.  I see your point, I'm going to be the loser that I am and write another long post in response to your short post.  And after I write a short post after this long post I am going to write another long post because I think long posts are better than short posts.  It is also true that people who write long posts are better than people that write short posts.  Therefore, I am better than you.
