Whilst you're obviously a very good chess player, with 2300+ ratings in Blitz and Bullet, a level I'll probably never get to, you also must be a child base on the tone and content of your posts, it's embarrassing reading, you troll every thread you post on with inane, attention seeking nonsense nobody wants to read, no adult brags to much lower rated players that they would crush them, talented players at that level tend to have dignity, self-respect and humility whilst understanding how hard it is for most people to improve at chess, therefore, compassionate, you seem way too juvenile minded to be posting on an adult forum. For the record I don't think 1500 Blitz is 700 USCF, it's a few hundred pts higher, but of course, over the board chess is the ultimate test of one's chess ability.
Thanks to everyone else though.

Rather than bragging in the forums, wouldn't it make more sense to be preparing for OTB rated events?
The fact is that you are currently over 2300 chess.com blitz rating. This is some strong chess! You can't just say those below this are bad players you could crush. I crush USCF 700s or USCF 1500s often myself. If you really are as good as your chess.com rating, then you have lots of upward potential for in-person rated tournaments.
Work on that rating and then once you become higher rated in-person (rather than just online), then why not use your success story to INSPIRE those online, rather than to put them down? You can spend your time how you like @MyRatingIs1523IsBack but bragging in the forums isn't going to help your long-term chess improvement. As GM Ben Finegold said, "Chess players [who improve] are doing chess stuff."

@KeSetoKaiba, I don't remember where, but somewhere, @MyRatingIs1523IsBack said something about not playing seriously in 10 years, meaning that otb rating is 10 years old I guess.

This post is about @RopemakerStreet, so I suggest maybe we should stop responding to @AccuratelyRatedUSCFPlayer .....The practice of making threads about oneself when it should be about others seems to be not uncommon on these forums, but I'd like to steer this one away from that.
that's not to boast, it's to say if I can reach 1500 Blitz than anyone can because I've blundered and stumbled my way all the way there, God knows how this puts me in the top 4.5% of Blitz players.
Congrats on your 1500 rating milestone on chess.com!
Just don't put yourself down and underestimate your growth. Statistically, most members on chess.com don't even pass 1000 rating. Reaching 1500+ is indeed something to be happy with. I still remember how happy I was when I crossed 1500 rating on chess.com!
Rather than thinking you are "blundering and stumbling", re-frame the same observation as now acknowledging how complicated the game of chess is. Even titled chess players (like grandmasters) stumble and blunder and occasionally don't know how to proceed, or misevaluate the position. Yes, it happens. This is a human-thing and a learning-thing.
All we can do is just keep learning and improving, so that we learn from our mistakes and become better chess players than we were the day before. By this, I mostly mean experience and knowledge. Rating is certainly fluctuate a ton. I may drop a lot of rating one day, but this doesn't make me "worse" than the day before, it just makes my current and temporary rating a little lower for now.
