There might be some people, here in this thread, who take you seriously but you are heavily influenced by your emotions and also you really aren't very bright. I know I shouldn't mention that, because it's an attack on the person but you do make it so obvious. If you could avoid being so influenced by your emotions, then you would probably manage to seem cleverer than you seem at the moment. You're pretty ridiculous, or did you know that already? Ludicrous, really. Does anyone who actually knows you in r.l. take you seriously and if not, is that why you are always so completely stupid and bombastic on chess'com? It's pretty funny really. You haven't a clue about much and you take yourself so seriously. And there are others who take you seriously. I pity them! I won't answer you again. You're blocked,
Having been found out, he takes his toys and goes home...
Bye.
Between you and me, I don't think citations are the norm for polemic. This is someone I genuinely like very much and I've never seen her go off the rails quite like that. I just wanted your reaction.
The point is that you are also directly responsible for the crap YOU post. You post a darn sight more of it than me and YOUR crap is written by you and not by someone else. So I know your horse is always very high and you can't help that but try to stay off it for once, eh?
That's the point, isn't it? You posted a rant to rankle me, specifically.
Don't post polemic again. You are clearly here, not to actually discuss Covid-19, but to get yourself blocked so you can tell yourself (and others, more importantly) that I am unreasonable
. It's a common self-soothing tactic for those who feel they have gotten the short end of the stick in a debate (or in your case, many debates). The key for you now is that you would prefer I block you after engaging in some personal back and forth (as dramatic as possible), as that fits your narrative better than just being blocked for breaking the posted guidelines and generally being objectionable. It's not going to happen. You act like a kid, and I can see you coming light years away.
Ironically, you are putting more work into this than any reasoned argument you make on the forums. Please get back to the discussion at hand, or leave, but either way, stop being so transparent about your petty motivations.
