Finally... someone talking sense. Thank you

You can choose to believe him if you want. It's your loss. That move order makes no sense at all.
Like I said, it's your choice. You're free to believe the guy who thinks it's fine to have to understand a whole lot of additional theory for no reason whatsoever. Actually I think it's funnier that way. I want you to believe him.

Personally I'm not a theory person, so I'd use 1...Nc6 if I played the Nimzo. Though chances are someone studying theory for dxe5 or d5 is wasting time (just let both sides play chess) and there are fairly many different possibilities after (1. e4 Nc6) 2. Nc3 anyway.
I was just remarking that it's ridiculous to have so much of an argument over 2...Nc6.

You think that was a big argument? It's probably best that you don't see some of the other threads I've posted in...

Relative to what it should have been for a pretty neutral move that early in the game, yes. I wasn't really comparing to other threads, which I skim fairly frequently.

I see now. You are not 73, but probably 13. You are not 900 rated as you try to be in all time controls, becouse you though it looks more convenient. And braging about unrated bullet game with that rating gap is just silly, but for kids and low rated it's perfectly acceptable. You have unrated bullet win vs 2000, no topic about it?

Huh? There appears to be a drastic change in trolling style from Donaldo...
