"Pathetic troll" seems a bit unfair - he's arguably the most gifted troll on this site.

"Chess.com is a safe place for people to come and enjoy. There should be no abusive language, personal attacks, threats, or any other unkind behaviour."

Just saying. 

 

There is nothing in the slightest abusive, threatening, attacking, or unkind about the word pathetic, which means: causing or evoking pity, or sympathetic sadness.

All I'm trying to convey is that VladimirHerceg's writings evoke in me a sympathetic sadness for the man.

This is understandable.

No, he is actually as lame as the other ones. This site has really awful trolls, they do not even try hard.

I've actually fallen back down to 965. Is my drop in rating unprecedented?

Bit unfair wasn't it ? You willingly share your insights into Chess and this is the thanks you get.

It's alright Matt, he tried to make these trollish, and sarcastic comments in one of my other threads: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/a-post-to-help-the-newcomers?page=2

In that thread I basically told him in post 23 how I feel about trolls like him trying to make a mockery of our great game. 

It's sometimes tough trying to have intellectual discussions here when there are people simply trying to derail the threads in order to get a laugh.

one time i went from 1100 live blitz to 2100 live blitz in around 10 days, i think that kind of improvement is a record

I've seen someone go from 1800 to 3500 in a single day, so no you don't have a record.

Of course, that person got banned within 24 hours...

Nice thread! You blundered at post #24 though, I think you meant to say "The others were objectively superior". This would have been more consistent with your earlier posts.

Good catch! Will edit immediately. It's not just an opinion after all.

Thanks.

OMG. 293 rating points in just a month? In that time I only increased by a little over 400 rating points. I cannot believe that could be possible. Well done.

I just increased 180 points in Bullet in 9 hours. Take that GMHerceg!

Chessislife2013

Arguably more impressive... so joining the world's top 10 is arguably less impressive than improving rapidly after learning the game. Of course your rating increased rapidly after starting out!

 

Whenever I become concerned [political insult removed - MOD], I go to the chess.com forums and find someone from another country of even lower intellect.

Chessislife2013

I see no reason to assume someone would falsely claim to be from another country. But fair point, I don't definitively know he's from another country.

 

Dear moderator, if you wish to remove part of my statement because it was insulting to a large group of people, then do so. But please do not falsely insert that it was "political commentary." It was not "commentary," it was an insult to the intellect of a group of people. If you wish to correct someone, kindly be objective and correct yourself.
