I just give up.
for staff, a must read

Your reading skills are all I need to see. Martin reads better.
But maybe what looks like poor reading skills reflects general ignorance instead.
example, please.
hmmm. crickets from the esteemed professor. go figure.
This.

@mynameisbumpa You have been on the site for only 3 months and before you started posting here you only had 21 posts in the forums. How is it that you have built up this level of animosity toward one member in such a short amount of time and with very limited interaction with the community?

Off topic, but do you know why StumpyBlitzer left?
Not sure. Maybe just needed a break.

so 'professor' yigbee or whatever his name is can mock my reading comprehension with absolutely no data to back up his point yet it is me who is being mean? is that your claim?

Nearly everyone on this site who is active in the forums has a high opinion of @Martin_Stahl
No one has a high opinion of you, however. All you’ve done is tear people down, or attempt to do so. That they remain standing is evidence that you are not even good at personal attacks.
omg are you serious??? every time i make a point, instead of countering, you shift to another tangent. try to focus, professor. tell me where i'm wrong. be specific!!
You haven’t made any points. I can only refute arguments that offer substance.

what makes you think i have any animosity at all? i'm just here stating facts. and it really doesnt take a lot of time to realize that martin stahl has a pretty perilous grasp of his knowledge of this site. also, the salient point regarding my experirnce is the number of posts i have read, not the number of posts i have made.

all-in-all i think you have a much higher opinion of yourself and your contributions to this site than are warranted. if i am wrong, go ahead and cite me a specific example of it. again. .... [snip]....show me i'm wrong. your claim of good intents don't really mean anything to anyone but you.
My contributions are what they are. Sometimes I'm wrong but I try my best.
Regarding the bots answer, staff say they don't use them, so if they say they don't, that's the answer. Believe it or not; I do and I state that they don't based on that and a long history of them being very candid and from content they have posted previously.
I also don't need to give you any examples of anything. I have over tens of thousand of posts out there ... I'm certainly not going to go down a rabbit hole to justify anything to satisfy your curiosity. It's all there in public so if you're that concerned you're welcome to read up

you are so very sad, professor. how is my post #890 not full of relevant poins? if you simply fail to understand them, that's on you, not me.

You're stating opinions not facts and those opinions are based on very little experience.

how do you know how much experience i have on this site? for all you know i have read every post currently available. that would constitute a great deal of experience, no? finally, no. when i ask martin stahl how he knows bots are never used in live chess and he answers 'beccause they aren't.' that is a stupid answer. its not an opinion. its a fact. the answer holds absolutely no value what-so-ever. and if you havent seen it, he later admitted in this thread that his sole source of knowledge on this issue is that the staff told him so. that makes martin a stooge in the actual definition of the word. and this isnt an opinion either. its simply a fact. once again i welcome being told how i am wrong about this.

@mynameisbumpa You are obviously one of those people that love to hear their own voice (in this case your own typing) and nothing else gets through. Perpetual argument at all costs. Live inside your own head because the outside world is too scary. Don't have a wasted life.

hmm. the fact that you can't prsent a worthwhile argument is somehow my fault?

martin, martin, martin...where should i begin?
1. your contributions are what they are. agreed. there is certainly no doubt about that.
2. sometimes you are wrong. no doubt about that either.
3. you try your best. if you say this is your best, i have no reason to doubt you.
4. regarding bots issue, once again i dont care if they are used in live games. but if your statement is made solely on what the staff tells you, it's anyone's guess as to whether this is true or not. i admit i have no idea if this is true. but neither do you! however if you are in any way an honest man, you will have to admit your response to my question 'how do you know?' is completely lacking in value and not something an average person would consider in any way intelligent.
5. you don't need to give me examples of anything. very true. especially when you can't because they don't exist!
6. you say you welcome me to read up on your posts. no thanks. i dont think i will learn much doing that.
take care, martin!
Calling Martin a stooge comes to mind.
do you know what a stooge is? look it up. it is 'a person who serves merely to support or assist others.' what is defamatory about that?
