...and they think you can't get to 2000+ live blitz/bullet by simply taking hanging pieces and not hanging pieces as often.

I would lower my rating to 1200 blitz/bullet and then get to 2000+ by taking hanging pieces and not hanging pieces as often, but too bad chess.com already gave me my first warning.

Nice to know your rating is +2000, for a moment I thought it was 1523.

Just goes to show that you'd sandbag at the drop of a hat if you thought you could get away with it. No lessons learned here...

1523? That seems like a very arbitrary number. For instance, 2000 is a nice and round number. 1500 is a nice and round number. 

Why did you pick 1523?

The lesson learned is to not break the chess.com ToS. I'm not sure what "lesson" you're talking about, however.

Don't let a thief into your house three times.

The 1st time was enough.

The second time was a chance.

The 3rd time means you're stupid.

I think the Russian Federation counts chess website forum trolling as a sport now.

Well, Austria did give us Mozart, but he soon ran to the hills.

According to the CWFTF, chess website forum trolling requires zero effort, zero training, zero learning, and produces zero global warming effect. While the UNO and the CIO are supporting the idea of nobelizing CWFT champions, the Pope said, the other day, it'd be jus plain wrong. Feminists instantaneously replied: "The Pope is a man, hence sexist, and that has several global warming effects and should not be tolerated!". The FIFA protest. Scientists are currently conducting several fund raising studies on the matter. The protestants, as usual, protest. Theresa May apply. Protesting protestants have been arrested in Moscow the other day. The Russian Atheists Federation demands segregation for a change, as they're next on the list. And now the FIDE elections...
