Just got a free membership...a thank you note.

Never a positive contribution to make, always negative and bitter, and this is why this type of thing has never happened to you kaynight, people like a doer, a builder, a leader not some sniveling little negative sniveling thing.
How would a sniveling little negative sniveling thing be different from a non-sniveling little negative sniveling thing ?
Speaking, of magnaminous, gestures; A 'shout out' to my older 'brother' in {state of}, Delaware; For renewing my 'home-Web' connection, {for the short term/ multi-month, future}; Whilst I'm house-sitting, a former 'home' which is about to go, 'on-the-market.'
.. In All honesty; I would've settled, for {censored} 'pills.' ..Hey! ..'Fyi'; I'm obeying; Life's, 'Rule # 2' of: "Don't tell Everything, you know"! ..{ha!} .. Ps. I'm, the 'baby' of our {slowly, dying out} 'family'; @ 65! .. {True}

Does Graham Dunn know you get whacked from the site within 2 weeks of your new account?
If that happens, I'll demand my money back. Or my favourite duck. Or I might give a premium membership to Whip_Kitten, that'll err show 'em.

Garham Dunn ....originally Ó Duinn meaning 'chieftan' I was so right about the prince thing earlier. Also the Dunn's are from good Irish stock originally ,like me ,making you double awesome. Thanks a lot man.

i once paid 2 million for a chessbotcom membership out of the kindness of my heart, got no kudos. it's the FREE ones get all the press :(

And don't mind kaynight, he's just bitter and twisted cos he lives in that tram-infested hellhole that's famously the most unfriendly town in Scotland. Give him your pity and say "Gawd bless the Queen."

See what happens when you behave Duck. Maybe you can pay it forward someday. REMINDER; The gift is to help you learn CHESS. You can still be muted with a diamond account. (trust me, I know.) Show your appreciation by slowly getting off people's block list. I'll be the 1st one to start but don't destroy my threads. Oh,and send a trophy to your benefactor.
"getting off peoples block list"? it's not up to him to deter others to not block a duck.
this duck has gifted memberships to others, so, he paid it forward in the past. he continues to do so, he just doesn't brag about it.

duck, i hope you get to meet graham, and he does not ask for smokes. rather, you can zipline together or sit and enjoy each others company, and he can explain to you that he gifted you a membership thinking you would teach him about fowl.
you may be distracted slightly, but, an offer of a glass of wine or a beer may put you both at ease, where you can discuss pidgeons, fish, hawks, squirrels, or, many other critters.

It will be a thrill to watch this all unravel.
for the life of me, i will never understand why you hate.
your "thrill" is an abcess. you constantly post about others with stupid one line posts.
get help, dude, because, your therapist will tell you that it is ok to engage in conversation. i wouldn't doubt if he or she recommends it.

If we're talking drink, an nice single malt always goes down well, especially with duck.

Hey ho, the Curmudgeonator's in the room.

That's rich coming from you, unless you've found Jesus or something. Or don't you remember half the stuff you post when you're drunk?

Both Kaynight and Chairmaker are good friends of mine so I'll stay out of their feud.
Chairmaker gifted me a membership about a year ago when I was having problems with the site spambot which kept closing my account. I no longer have that problem as I don't use the site as often as I once did. Chairmaker is a very nice person and has been a good friend to me. I thank him for what he did.
Duck has risen from the dead a few times now.
