In your opinion, what do you think is the likelyhood of him sockpuppetting? It seems the forum is in agreement that he is rotating between accounts.

You are just instigating, as always, from the sidelines.  Any "likelyhoods" (sic) in terms of sockpuppetry are bound to be in your favor, this being at least the 3rd username you've run around on.

You can't help being a liar, even though I explained exactly what I did. I think I scored 169 at least three or four times. I never took the test when I was feeling in great shape, because I was recovering from hepatitis and had been in a coma when I had it. I took the test when I was very tired, when I had a bad cold, first thing in the morning when I'd slept badly etc. My object was to discover the spread of results that were genuinely possible even if a person was trying his hardest. I scored twice less than 135 and most of my results were in the 150s and 160s.

But although it has been explained clearly to you, you try always to present those you feel threatened by in a poor light. However, if you believe you're telling the truth then your memory is worse than failing. Otherwise, you're a liar: your choice. I know I have a better memory than either of you and I can recall a conversation with Ziryab from before his memory started to fail. It isn't important and I'm pointing it out for the record. 

There's no lie in what you have recounted here.  My narrative matches yours, actually.  You just don't like that people reach different conclusions from the same data sets offered.

You've both claimed an IQ of about 135, at different times, 

You have periods of being nice and reasonable, followed by period of being mean and a bit delusional.

I've never seen either of them claim a specific IQ score, and I've never suspected tickler of having multiple accounts.

Oh yeah, I remember really liking thegrobe, too bad he went away.

There was another guy whose name started with an E... I have a mental block, can only think of Elroch at the moment heh.

Not Elubas, although he was fun... a different E tongue.png

Profile pic was something like a guy at a chessboard... had some green in it...

I'm sorry to have to say this but you're an alcoholic

Sheesh.

There are things you could say to hurt me. Luckily you don't have a clue what those things are.

It's a public forum doofus, I comment when and where and on what I want.

I like you and so do others but your behaviour isn't always very good. Is that fair enough?

I agree with that, sure.

It's your prerogative to side with two people who are generally known to be trolls.

I guess taking sides is how you conceptualize these things. I'd rather fight with tickler, and I've tried a few times. He can make a reasonable argument, so he's fun. Arguing with children is boring.

It won't let me post more than 5 times in a row... so glad children can post 100 times on their phones but adults can't make more than 5 reasonable posts.

Anyway, you mention credibility at the end:

Another bit of projection. Credibility is important to you, it's not important to me. I regularly delete my account and I have trouble liking anyone for any length of time. I'm a bit neurotic like that... anyway, credibility is not something I'm hungry for at this moment in my life.

Taking sides is what you always do, despite your best intentions, I'm sure.

So, leading with a jab again... but again the words don't hurt me, so I'm not sure what to say. On multiple occasions @Ziryab has said he doesn't know what his IQ is. On multiple occasions both ziryab and btickler have said or hinted that IQ is a narrow conceptualization of intelligence and their ego isn't tied to it... so this is less taking sides than me believing my own eyes.

I think you must imagine I'm a bit slow. Whatever you prefer to call it,

I was recently muted for insulting someone's mental function in the comments of a chess.com news article when they were defending poor treatment of underage girls. Even though (apparently) the moderation is more strict in articles than the forums, I'm not eager to go down that path so soon here in the forums.

whether it's taking sides or something else, it isn't good for your credibility and will result in you having to leave temporarily, again, when you start to dislike yourself again, in this incarnation.

It's hard to imagine why the thought of having to close my account would be compelling to me... I do it all the time. I couldn't care less... and notice when I come back I don't even announce myself. In fact I'd prefer to remain anonymous, but it's too much of a hassle to change my posting style, so this is the result. In other words I don't care about credibility. I don't care whether others agree with me. I'd rather they not know I exist heh.

You should learn to control your negative thoughts. It's probably too late for the other two but honestly, you veer all over the straight and narrow road you're on.

Eh, I guess? I'm doing ok.

Batgirl retreated to Facebook of all places. Her posts are still much of the reason I log in there.

Also, this rubbish about projection makes you sound VERY like the two people you're taking sides with.

You talk about taking sides and wanting credibility but those are simply not a part of my personal experience. I have no explanation for why you frame things this way other than projection.

Idk my IQ, it's like 110-120 but IQ isn't even a test of intelligence.  You can have a high IQ and somebody else a low IQ and still be smarter.  IQ is more pattern recognition and memory and all that stuff.

Thanks,

It's just the same for Noodles, who's busy trying to convince others that he's capable of running rings round them. He's managing it too, because they believe him.

If you have trouble liking anyone, then the real trouble is that you dislike yourself. You don't believe in the supernatural, I know. But there are syndromes to do with the mind that can be impossible to break through. I sense that you are stuck somewhere, unable to get free of the negative thoughts that trap you.

You may think I'm babbling on, incoherently, but I'm not and I'm trying to help.

Yep, I agree with that. Not liking myself is definitely a piece of that puzzle, and I have too many negative thoughts.

Although if it's anything like the drinking, it's too bad I'm admitting these things, since at some point they'll be thrown back at me with uncommonly casual malice.
