Didn't this thread used to be about me?

"After being a subscriber for 5+ years, I decided to check out the forums. It has been one month.
Conclusion: Hanging out in here is neither a productive use of my time nor is it any fun, so much to the sadness of many of you, lol, I'm done. I much prefer chess where I have played and chatted with hundreds of players. And along the way, have met some really interesting, compassionate, insightful people from all over the globe. Always friendly, respectful and eager to share their views, a laugh, or a chess tip or two. Very much unlike forums where it seems like the unhappy and the unpleasant choose to congregate. (I apologize to the very few in here who actually have been quite civil...)
CLEARLY I do not understand why people in forums are so combative. lol And what purpose it serves in their lives other than to make them feel "smart" about always being "right." Maybe it is their only venue to be heard by others. I haven't a clue, but it must satisfy some need. Especially for those who have been posting arrogant, hateful comments in these forums for years...
I envision some of you as Ted Kaccynski types (a.k.a. "Unabomber"😉 and it is a bit troubling. I hope you stumble upon some goodness in your travels which might reboot your life perhaps.
Best wishes to you all - even those who are excitedly conjuring up their final offensive post to me at this very moment -lol - actually ESPECIALLY to those people 😉
Back to chess....!"

And her disdainful comments flung out against un-named persons, identified only as the "the unhappy and the unpleasant," where she asks in rhetoric mock sarcasm, "what purpose it serves in their lives other than to make them feel "smart" about always being 'right'," does not necessarily include me or just me.
He/she never said who she was talking about when she pronounced with righteous indignation "Maybe it is their only venue to be heard by others."
Some members identified me as being in the group "posting arrogant, hateful comments," the ones that he/she singled out "as Ted Kaccynski [sic] types," adding in a belittling fashion "(a.k.a. "Unabomber"😉," since those of us who disagreed with him/her could not possibly know who he/she was talking about.
I do not know for sure whom he/she was addressing with his/her passive aggressive rant. I suspect I probably was in the group, after all it was me that challenged the fraud he/she was espousing.
I suspect Seitse as well. Beyond that, I do not know or care to speculate.
If you think you should be included, then welcome. I take it as a matter of pride that I saw through him/her.
