Life of a Female Chess Player Pt. II: Competition

Sort:
TRextastic

I can see you didn't take anything I said to heart...

Elubas

Well yeah, I said what I wanted to say. I'm not going to hold back on sharing things that mean something to me just because of other people. You can make super long or super short posts, too. That's all your choice.

But I do, and did, understand your point. It's not like this is the first time this problem has come up. Part of communication is on the person sending a message, and part of it is on the person receiving it. It should be a cooperative effort. Clearly, I have a natural tendency to include lots of stuff, and sometimes it gets the better of me. But it's not like I'm a criminal or something.

 "I have a natural tendency to include lots of stuff"   262

this tendency is really a good think, the level of the average postman is the level of ...a postman, not a phD. We all respect Elubas, ty.

the day we gloss over people to posts deep thinking, we use time at the best, just gloss over, starting with ??   me.Laughing

Back to the topic: after my operation, being a female, i never experienced Pt II because I don't start competition. As soon as I start, i'll tell u, be patient.

Elubas

Yeah I think it's certainly good to be able to get deep/detailed when the situation calls for it. I just need to get better at picking the appropriate times to do that.

And I'll add that sometimes ideas are just complex. For example I think the abortion issue has some serious nuances that are logically complex, no matter how they are explained (Of course most people will just decide on the issue based on their gut feeling, but that doesn't mean they should).

FRENCHBASHER

yes

" I think the abortion issue has some serious nuances 264

in chess female player life, problematic of abortion has some serious nuances : to draw or not to draw, the victory or the baby ? it is really serious, don't laugh. To resign to save the child ? the mother ? who has experienced those problems ? We shouldn't gloss ovaire those questions.

most people decide their opinion about this, like most things, based on peer pressure, political correctness, and what everyone else is saying. People are sheep.

Okay, I get it now. I was really dumb there. Sorry, Elubas:)

Everybody is following the leader in the big hole, terrific.

And maybe you like to look into people's lives rather than the content of what they're saying. Abortion is actually a fantastic example. It's both intellectually challenging and morally controversial (and thus, important).

But yeah... whenever we decide to care about an issue, let's just not, if society doesn't want us to.

That is exactly what I am not suggesting.  I think you should learn to relax a bit--not "target" anything!  Unfortunately nowadays people tend to prate on like memos and droids and Scientists and they manage to say very very little.

Well y'know, Huey, you're not the only one I'm talking to, here :) I was also responding to people who are telling me to make shorter posts, so that the audience can better get the message... I think those people are actually the ones taking this too seriously. Part of the fun is being able to post in any way you want, as if you were actually just talking to someone. And ranting is common in a conversation.

You should admit, though, you don't have to deal with as many derogatory comments as me. Wouldn't you agree with that? Take any thread, and I have to deal with dozens of them, just for being me. I'm sure you don't have to experience the same, here, at least not nearly as much. You wouldn't like it if the whole forum was against you, come on, you know that. Even if you want to keep picking on me, you'd be a moron to think it would make sense for me to enjoy dozens of negative comments towards me (and thus be confused when I don't approve of it :) ). And you're not a moron. It's one thing to deal with people picking on you sometimes, but all the time? I'd have to be a masochist to actually wish for that.

Elubas

But anyway it's not about saying a lot. It's about you expressing yourself. For people who like to see rants, I'm their guy. If you want to see irrelevant short comments, we got kayknight or however you spell it. And I can see the appeal to that, too. People should be themselves because that's when the most interesting stuff comes out. There's no need to ask me to be concise because... all you have to do is seek out posters who write concisely and you can see as many concise posts as your heart desires. Seek out the people who like to make concise posts, rather than ask me to pretend to be one of those guys.

And you obviously have your own way of expressing yourself, Huey. It's what makes the world a diverse place.

ty very much i do my best, concepts alone are useless, concepts are nor TRUTH nor BAD, just work, operationnels, or not.

It is the best, the one who never replies on ad hominem people, just use facts, theories, and NEW ideas; it's me, fB.

Most of people derail threads for instance, i wonder why. Fear for not be red if creating a new thread, syndrom of the cuckoo's nest. why some people, as quasi professional, cannot stay on the topic, derails trails systematically ?

i listed causes:

1. alcohol

2. emptyness

3. shyness

4. fear to be alone

5. assertiveness

6. prohibed substance

7. the worse; those who don't even notice they are beside their string and shoes;

8. rough, rude primates, unable to simply observe politesse.

Generally the same who insult foreigners in case the one are not oxford or Berkeley speaking english people.


CC is fully conscious of this problem now and will deal with "unexpandables" making this site first, and unable to avoid "the year too much", just scarecrow for newcomers, no naming. To explode one , u need 10+ months, because they use the worse :"me i felt insulted", wich is really a strategy : they have to prove NOTHING.

"me i have a hint this guy is not that  what he says" : pure genius, they have NOT to prove anything, just sending a doubt in other's mind.

I recently met an old watchdog, retired, sort of desperate Stallone, treating people of "creep". Free, just alcohol, or worse: the guy preferred his former job of watchdog than chess !!! was happy to listen to people knocking at the door. INCREDIBLE. in what campground do we meet such persons ? they do exist , i met them !!!!

some drunken derailing professionnal threads send "friends" when they are unable to gloos over, they try but can't , they need to be ad hominem in their personal assertiveness recovery program.

Do u realize that ?  in that case you have to bunch a whole pack, in Elliot Ness manner;

The price for CC : they lose 10 "unexpandables", they stop to lose 100 indian, italian, spanish, ...french paying potential clean peaceful PAYING member, giving them virtuous circle of a small firm like ...General Electri, jack Welsh method.

It is not because General Electric was big it used those method, clean ole' unexpandables who derail, it is because they use the method BEFORE they became leader ...and much more difficult, stayed.

The day CC retires 10 "unexpandable", they get SumanN, N=1   to 1000Laughing
