I have some ideas why that might be. But I've already shared those with you. Telling people they're dead wrong, having to have the last word, being sarcastic, aggressive, defensive, argumentative, needing to be right, defending a position to your last dying breath no matter how untenable the position, being petty...those are not good strategies to use to stimulate discussion.
There are people on chess.com who have been very successful in stimulating discussion. They use different strategies than you do.
A change in strategy may produce a change in results. But it will take lots of work. Lots.
Thank you. My therapist has read your posts and tells me that she spent years listening to me whine about my parents, my siblings, my children, and my coworkers before she was able to get the insight into my character that you have achieved in two evenings. You have a gift.
Your gift may save me $1000s in my therapy. I sense that the next turn on my theraputic path may be towards recovery. Thanks.
She also warned me against mentioning substance abuse to you. She suspects that your drunken rants, insightful though they are, hint at a form of derangement that may be dangerous. There's already evidence of a tendency towards cyberstalking.
