I said YOU were offensive, obnoxious and rude.

Hey, you're gonna get penalized for using the Prawn Structure!

Yes, true enough, I have been prattling on about retards, discussing metal bars up people's rectums, advertising my product in an open forum, dropping hints of my desire for a physical meeting to continue a forum dispute in person, . . . 

Oh, wait, no I haven't-- you did all that.

As I asked before, have you figured out yet how to spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e?

It is in a degrading orbit. They loop will end with a crash. Then a lock will occur.

What's the key combo to break out of an infinite loop?


Just hope you don't get stuck in a gay loop instead (serves me right for being "curious")...

How many titled players are gonna be hanging around fielding goofy questions when they could (at the very least) probably be charging money to do so?  Not many - I'll give you that. But maybe instead of "titled players", I should have said "stronger players", as in 1600+ USCF/FIDE. Two or three years ago, there were a lot more such players active in the forums here; unfortunately, their number has dwindled greatly as the forum quality has deteriorated, and it's kind of a vicious cycle.

And I for one think "this sort of garbage" is rather fun, and a prime draw to the site.  I get that some find it fun, but "a prime draw to the site"? You've got to be kidding - 99%+ of the people this stuff "draws in" are not going to contribute anything to the site, other than to the spamming problem (and/or the "ridiculous threads" problem you mentioned earlier). Notice how threads of this nature are becoming more and more frequent around here? Things could get progressively worse if the mods aren't going to do their jobs.

  Okay, maybe this one did get a bit vituperative in places, but it's still better than the usual walls of text from Vulcans that you see elsewhere.  Well, maybe ;)  But I don't see why relevant, chess related topics have to involve "walls of text from Vulcans". There's such a vast middle ground - how come so many Chess.com members can't find it??

  And realistically, how many of these kinds of questions can you take before you're all talked out?  Eventually I think one has to have recourse to those two inexhaustible fields:  humor and blood-letting.  But why in the same place? Surely there are better places on the Internet for this "activity".

  Chessplayers traditionally tend to be a bit "humor-challenged" (okay, they're joke retards) but they generally seem ready to take a few swings at each other, even if the results usually look about as spastic as two baseball pitchers getting into a fistfight.  Everybody has a sense of humor (including me Cool), but what you find amusing isn't necessarily going to be amusing to everyone else.


Oh, and I just noticed post #138. Glad you're still here, tonydal! :)

You are correct. Your repetitiveness was the true message of my post just then!

And that goes double for you too...as well as what you find not amusing.  So what do these sorts of disputes lead to?  Not a lot that I can see...

Those are A-cups; by no means "medium". She could wear B-cups at most without them getting lost in there. But! I think you mentioned somewhere that you're gay, so you can be forgiven.

For my part... I'd take either of that couple ;)

Nice to see you contributing something of value.

Too bad. Cobra91 is a forum cop. It's a shame, because your puzzles are greatCry

The solution requires a higher maturity level to comprehend than you possess.

Rubik's cubes are deceptively simple to solve. There are complex algorithms to solve it more efficently out there, but you can solve it with few short simple ones.

Avatar of mrguy888

True, but those kinds of people run into a wall once problem not comprised of removable blocks. Cheat to get past level 12 will stick you into the more difficult level 13 without the skills that were to be gained in level 12...

It is an unsustainable system.

 Hope you're just kidding, because I think your contributions to the site have been great. Especially the puzzles and annotated games, of course, but a lot of the jokes (and limericks! Wink), too. It's just threads like this one (along with a few of the people fueling them, who seem to do nothing but spam) that get under my skin, because they tend to get far more attention than any of the content that actually belongs here. As you said, though, not everyone shares my opinion. So if none of the staff members object, I guess I shouldn't either.

Ah, the "I'll regret it later but for now it is great," system. The big problem with that is that you will regret it later. But you will never stop because for now it is great.
