You did not pay for my degree, unfortunately. University education in the UK is not paid for by the state

Lol. You're blowing your cover. Try to remember, you're supposed to be a young girl who doesn't care about technology that is older than you are.

I'll have you know I make more money than your dad.

I doubt you've made a single ruble, and they're only worth about a penny here right now.

My father made $565,000 a year in inflation adjusted dollars, FYI. Thanks for asking, the inflation adjustment surprised even me when I looked it up.

You can't show someone how valuable they're not by malding.

Blowing your cover yet again.

Adhoms.

Yeah, you're not using that correctly, either, previously or now. If you are going to try to appear flippant and knowledgeable, it pays to use terminology correctly.

Nope, adhoms.

If you want to be ostentatious okay, but malding isn't cool in 2023.

Correction, the term "malding" isn't cool except among the kind of incel living at home gamers and Twitch streamer wannabes that you keep accusing others of being when you make your basement dweller comments. But for the record, I have a full head of hair...noticeably thicker than the woman you stole your avatar photo from, actually.

You obviously know more about the brain than many, so seriously, don't waste any efforts.

I find it useful to help ignorant people embarrass themselves; it prevents their ignorance spreading around and that's just that much less ignorance in the world to deal with. It's not for convincing the troll, but the people reading the thread.

You wouldn't have the slightest idea when you've embarrassed yourself and consequently, you're never embarrassed but that isn't good. Go away and troll with Elroch.

D is 97 but acts like 88.

You both need to start working on how to not be selfish and attention seeking so that we don’t have threadjacks that are just the pettiest of arguments. In your attempts at showing how intelligent you both are, you both have just ended up coming across as grating

Speaking of embarrassing posters...you've identified another protege to glom onto, I see.

So you see someone raging because I dropped some truth bombs, and your strategy is to get angry and tell us about it?

Interesting.

Now that's projection. There's no rage involved when I give trolls a serving of what they feed other people.

I recommend that you and everyone that feels like you do send heartfelt and detailed feedback to chess.com and tell them you are tired of barely moderated forums. Then 8thMarch and Oblivimissed and their like will be handled, and I won't have anyone to confront about their trolling behavior.

Troll isn’t really an adhom. It’s more a descriptor of your conduct, not your personality. Perhaps you’re simply not quite aware of the definitions of the words you’re using :)

@ice_cream_chess the source I’m afraid is only gothamchess, but he said in passing in a few of his vids that like tonnes of top players have adhd

This sounds like something he said in a facetious and/or exaggerated way. He does that a lot - not all his comments are meant to be taken seriously.

Eric Hansen is the only strong grandmaster I'm aware of who has openly spoken about being diagnosed with ADHD ... There may be others, but I haven't heard of them.

Lol, I have created and run properly moderated forums.

The only troll here is @DiogenesDue accusing others of trolling when he is the troll

Hmmm, let's see here...

Your previous account was closed for abuse. 8thMarch is a sockpuppet of some other account(s). Optimissed has been muted numerous times (not auto-muted, as many are, but flat out muted my mods).

Who are the trolls again?

"Troll" is an adhom and you're showing your rage.

If you full tilt on forums what does losing a chess game do to you? lol

You can keep pretending all you like, but anyone can see that I'm not "full tilted", or even upset.

Still misusing "adhom", like some random wink.png.
