If I remember rightly, it was something about covid, not cancer. I don't joke about cancer

Was it covid? Did I mistake it? Either way, still pissed.

@Sobrukai2 Just curious m8, why am I blocked from posting in your threads? If there is a genuine reason behind it that's fine, I'm just confused.

Oh you must have said something I didn't like a while ago. Sorry about that, unblocking.

#29 These are unfortunately the risks of serious discussions here which are often underlying political arguments.
Now for a little ancedote about myself:
I joined the platform in late 2020 mostly to improve at chess. I had become interested in the game, and decided to get myself gold membership. As I got older through 2021 and 2022, the political discussions started to interest me on off topic forum. I got more involved in them.
One particular argument about LGBTQ rights got quite heated and political. The other user then tried to doxx me and I accidentally swore in the message to reply since I had forgotten it was against chess.com rules. We were both warned and muted for a few days, and the thread was locked. We got into the same argument in a different thread and it got so heated chess.com muted me (idk about him) indefinitely. I then created this account, basically never to be used again as I realized lichess was better for play and for analysis.
The moral of the story is that discussion about serious topics is inherently dangerous on chess.com and that these websites should primarily be used for chess.

I agree.

I’ve gotten into many of those types of arguments. I never get muted because I read over my posts before sending it.

Do the above and you’ll never be muted.

Yeah, the problem is that sometimes my emotions can get the best of me ...

OTF hasn't been much of ANYTHING in months, if not years (oh, there were some lively debates about touchy subjects a couple of years ago, involving longwinded greats like @cooloutAC, but nothing like that lately)...
