it's just not fair when people are mean to me!! :(
Trolling? Are you serious?
Believe me. Nobody is going to be mean. Nor will there be any bickering. I respect each and everyone here and that includes you ab. I ask only that we all respect one another. I believe this is an easy agreement.

Elven. I swear I thought you were trolling. Now I'm not sure. If not, just allow me to state THERE ARE "MEAN" PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE. Even on chess.com.
But I still think you're trolling. I like your posts much better as troll posts.
Now I'm going to have a good cry
Ab. If I make a forum about getting rid of trolling. About how bad trolling is. About what it causes and how it can harm others why would I, in any sort of situation start trolling? Why would I even dream of trolling after all I have been through?
This discussion we've been having for a few hours now is all around the point that I am trying to get RID of TROLLING. Not welcome it.
Yes I agree that there are "mean" people everwhere but the thing is. If you welcome negativity, then it attracts more and more of it. Which is why I look for positive people and thinking because it attracts more and more positive feelings. I would never troll anyone or anything. I'd never post as a troller.

okay now I have to reply to you 2 ways, first as a troller and 2nd as a whiner.
Troller: that's awesome parody. you crack me up.
Whiner: grow up. the world is a tough place. get used to it. get a backbone and some self-esteem. Mean people don't control your self image.
but I still say you're a trolling genius
Ab. I mean no offense when I say this but I am going to have to ask you to leave this forum. Nothing personal or anything but I refuse to have anyone post a trolling comment on this forum even as a joke. It undermines the entire purpose of this forum and I really do not like to be thought of as a "trolling genius" I take quite a bit of umbrage in that.

well, right now I got no place else to go. "Umbrage" huh? wow. I don't think anyone ever took any umbrage from me..

Don't be such a cynical dude ab! And I think the word umbrage is awesome!
is it really cynicism to state that there are lots of meanies out there?? I've been trolled and insulted as much as anyone since the day I got on this site. It ain't going to stop. BTW I love the word umbrage. also iterative.

ab is not going to be reasonable... Just saying...Watch this space.
please be specific. do you have prior posts of mine that were unreasonable? (and you may need to define unreasonable). Just saying

okay man, everybody seems to think I'm being offensive to you. If so, I apologize. But I'm being serious when I say "get used to jerks, they ain't going away, including on this site"

It doesn't mean you have to keep the cycle of insults going ab. Be the bigger man and break the troll cycle.
I do understand all of those facts but I asked once politely to not post those comments or to troll anyone on this forum. If I have to ask twice then there is a warning. Third time equals 3 strikes your out. However, I do see the point he was making about jerks being everywhere and I do accept his apology.
Ok ok let's get back on track. This forum is meant to spread the word and courage enough to stop trolling from happening so I do not allow trolling to be used in this forum at all.
