A well-constructed criticism like 'What is Essex'? I answered your question, now you answer mine
Report chess.com for the Catalonia, Basque and Galicia flags
Sort:
Also you have a troll or a second account on your thread, who is giving your posts a +1 and mine a -1, so it's pretty clear that you're a troll too. I don't make a habit of arguing with trolls. Only with selected ones. 
Only with cleverer trolls than you, in fact. You answered my question "what is Essex" wrongly. That wasn't a good start, calculated to impress me.

Well, except at the lower levels, which isn't proper debate anyway. So you're running away and trying to hide that obvious fact.
You wish I was running away
It's almost like you've found yourself out of your intellectual depth.
Why do you troll? What's the point? Does it make you feel better about yourself or about something else?

everyone is overthink this hard & you need to chill. instead, let's talk about banning the Israeli flag, just like the Russian. I'm sure we can have a reasonable debate about that, right?

I've been trolled by professionals. They sometimes use me for practise but they're rarely any good. They often win in their own minds, of course.
The professionals sometimes have hangers on, whose job it is to pretend they've won but they have to be obviously dim, to be a troll's mate. It's a bit like being a lavatory attendant's mate. 
Anyhow thanks and all the best. Have to go.

I've heard of Scholar's Mate and Fool's Mate - but not Troll's Mate or Lavatory Attendant's Mate.
Every day's a school day.
Have a nice day. And pleased to see the tractor boys are doing well. I have about 124330000 relatives in Bury St Edmunds.

Incidentally, you'd look better if you got rid of the lavatory assistant's mate who marks up your posts and marks down those disagreeing with you. Whoever it is, just block him.
Regarding the Israeli attack on aid workers in Gaza, yes it's time to regard Israel as an enemy unless they stop murdering people and committing genocide.
