100% timeout ratio

I actually did need an answer to the question. This is one of those times where the ability to delete a thread would be nice, seeing as how Prawn helped answer it for me and I'm going.

Thanks for the antagonistic post Paul. It's sweet of you to take the time out to blast me a good one eh? To be honest, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and if you'd like I'll try to formulate a rebuttle, but I'm in a touch of a good mood tonight with other things and I don't know... I'll just let it stand.

I made that quip to you in the "how to inflame" thread. Nice to see I did.

Well, you guys....

I take a few hours out to watch "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (again) and return to find something even stranger here. This site rarely disappoints.

Ssshhh it'll be okay Paul. Just be gentle and everything will turn out okay.

Let it out if you have to, that's it, just let it all out. This is a safe, sharing place. Just express how you feel.

Paul, it sounds like whatever you're saying has nothing at all do with this thread...maybe you should send your messages directly to whom you are talking. 

@Paulie

See is that better now honey? Feels good to get that off your chest, doesn't it?

It's adorable how frustrated you are, but just relax, maybe put some tea on? Draw a nice waarm bath. You're being a tad rambly right now, which is okay, just take a deep breath and whatever medication they've prescribed for your Aspergers.

Don't worry, I know what Philo Sophia means. It came up once or twice when I was getting a minor in it at University, but thanks for the reminder! You're a sweetheart.

The funniest part about paul's hostility is that his tirade is barely comprehensible.

@paul211

I find your posts on this topic rude, offensive, childish, and factually incorrect.  You rudely interupted PrawnEatsPrawn and AfafBouardi as they were helping to resolve Rae1's problem, which is Chess.com's method of operation and way of life.  You offended me by verbally attacking Rae1 in your posts.  Your childish behavior is demonstrated not only by the manner in which you have attacked Rae1, but also with your one sentence reply to furtiveking's question asking why the hostility; your reply --"Very simply that has been his attitude towards me since day 1" -- is equal to the primary school excuse --"but Teacher, he did it first".

As to your factually incorrect statements, please allow me to correct you:

from your post #19

• "You currently have 3 games on the go and why?" --- furtiveking answered that "At the time of his posting, he didn't have ANY games going on."

• "You make claims that are not substianted but pure speculation without checking out the sources."--- you did this paul211 not Rae1.

• "in French, bien-être social, you are at the rescue of the social system and lack a complete understanding of the  " motus operandi" or the "motus vivendi" of this site at chess.com." --- you have wrongly equated government programs of 'social well being' or 'welfare' with a community of members helping each other.

• " motus operandi" or the "motus vivendi" --- you say you studied Latin, but you don't need to be a first year Latin student to know it's spelled "modus".[ed. motis = motion and modus = method, way]

from your post #26

• "Do not understand your comment; can you say it in French or Italian? Lost in words: quip, antagonist, ..." --- yet you were the first to use it in post #19 "I recognize your provocating and naive antagonistic style, ..." and again in post #26 "Never again reply to my posts in your antagonistic, ..."  If you studied Greek for three years, here's a hint...An antagonist (from Greek ἀνταγωνιστής - antagonistes, "opponent, competitor, rival".
