I think we should report the OP every time he says something on the forums.

Good idea, kind of topsy-turvy world, right?

It would be interesting to analyse the motivation of trolls. I think some cheaters can be regarded as trolls. Like trolls they want to break rules, to provoke, to disturb, to draw the attention, to be original. One of the man features of trolls is lack of empathy, and a huge egocentrism.

Habitual harmful trolls have something pathological going on, sure.

But, for example, someone like Macer making some post purposefully spelling Carlsen's name with an 'o' instead of an 'e' then pretending he doesn't know why people are correcting him is just childish silliness.

 I know a guy,  nice person,  good tennis player and also able to play chess.  I saw a video if him where he was at a street,  and while cars where waiting for him to cross he began to bouncing a ball like a tennis player preparing to make a service, with the racket in the hand.  I had immediately to think on trolls.

What the hell, man? You're grouping ME with the people who think purposefully spelling Carlsen's name with an 'o' is "trolling"? I promise you, if you were to look through the entirety of my content, you will not find me ever making such a lame joke.

Please, group me with the "pathological" trolls. A lot of the things that most people consider pathological I consider simply a trait, some of which I aspire to.

Heh, macer happy.png

 

I don't know if you've ever had a friend who speaks English as a 2nd language, and they try out some idioms, some insults, stuff like that from their own language, but it doesn't really translate well.

 

Like, maybe they try out "that guy is a rough pube hair!" and it's just so off that it's not insulting, or funny, it's just... meh.

That's what your trolling is to me tongue.png
It's like you're an alien from another planet that's trying to go through the motions, but it's all off, we know you're not human.

 

Maybe you're just too meta. It's like the troll who isn't a troll... but that's the troll.

Preggo_Basashi

And if you're sick, then you're like a sick kitten.

The trolls I think of who are pathological are the kind who make you lose faith in humanity.

You've never made me lose faith in humanity macer!

Preggo_Basashi

Actually I think I finally figured it out... that's what it is.

You're the troll who isn't a troll, but that's the troll.

I feel slow for just now realizing.

What was your previous account @Preggo_Basashi?

Eh, my first chess.com account or my most recent before this one?

 

Been coming here for 8 years, and was banned for the first time recently. Multiple accounts.

Made accounts to play drunk. Didn't cheat or post anything, but they IP banned the **** out of me for it.

For example this guy was me, but you wouldn't know it, because I never posted.

But no, having more than 1 account is a sin against humanity, while they let others do... much worse things.

I hereby report ejpd.

Also while drunk maaaaaybe I said some things to some staff/mods that wasn't very nice.

Which is probably what caused them to use whatever search tools they have, and find I had a few accounts.
