If anybody can spot a troll, it's Alex.
what makes me a [Edited by Moderator]?

I'm actually leaning towards fake. Why would telling us about her life (family and job etc) convince us she's real? It's the sort of things trolls do here all the time
FWIW I'm leaning towards real because there wasn't anything contentious or antagonistic in the story about her family, work, etc.
Time will tell though

Talking of trolls, what made me laugh is 2Q gets accused of being a troll by a certain group of people.They even go as far as creating a club dedicated to it where he is the main topic of conversation. If thats not trolling,i dont know what is.

Aww come on, he has to be a troll. Just read his profile (which is copy-pasted from a different site, he didn't write it).
At the same time though, I think he honestly likes chess, and his topics aren't angry. It's the kind of troll I wouldn't mind giving a little extra attention by joining a group dedicated to them

Even if he were, they are doing the exact same thing which dont make them any better. Pot and kettle. We can all say things to get a rise out of people,and many will do,safely sitting behind a screen.Its something we all gotta put up with,no point bitching to the Mods about it. Deal with it.

Chin of Quinn: In post #93 you said that you judge the topic itself to be relatively trivial. Are you sure you understand the implications of this topic? At this point I can only hope that you have not yet reached the age of majority. Otherwise God help us all.

I wasn't complaining about it (?)

You said earlier "it's about respect between a man and woman"
but I disagree. If it were about that I wouldn't call it trivial. Not only do you not know either party's gender, the recipient doesn't know the instigator's and vice versa.
And adding "God help us all" ?
So maybe you're just the OPs sock, and this is how you troll.

Actually I said "This is about respect between man and woman." In other words I was referring to the general and not the specific (as in "between a man and woman" as you misquoted me). Therefore even if both of the original parties were misrepresenting themselves (which I doubt) the actual topic remains serious. As far as my use of the phrase "God help us all" is concerned it was simply a metaphor referring to supposed adults such as yourself who cannot distinguish between the trivial and the important.
But like I said, even if it is honest, the OP got serious and empathetic replies to start the topic, and this sort of light abuse is just part of being online.
therein lies the rub. there is no way for us to know with no input from the op that claims to be discredited for gender.
kinda a funny thing for those of us that like to make fun of stupid posts. we don't know if the op is serious or not.
after seeing all the posts, i think we'll know.
Yeah.
And with her most recent post (right above yours), it looks like the OP was serious.
