Before the internet correspondence chess was much different, though one of my matches does seem “pre-internet”.🤔
All the internet for some people is allow them to bad mouth posters thousands of miles away from them. 🙂

Many people use it as it was meant to be used by means of communication with family and friends and friendly games. Looking up information but ensure it is coming from a reliable source.

Hey, you should start a thread on this!

Maybe just you post, every day, a bunch of totally useless information BUT … which comes from a reliable source.

I think you’re onto something.

You could use some advice on how to treat people as though they were standing right in front of you instead of thousands of miles away.
You often riff on this kind of thing. The way I talk to you here is exactly the same as how I'd talk to you in person. Do you have two different ways of talking to people, then?

I am very doubtful your man enough to stand up to me even though I am older than you. I think you are full of hot air 98% of the time.

You're entitled to think this. But it would be the same supposed "98% hot air" in person too.

No, I'm not. There's a question you’ve missed.

You are rambling or you could call it spamming, you don't even wait for an answer you just keep on going like the energizer bunny! You are a funny little man, at least the way I see you.

When you ask a question try doing it politely as you would face to face with me.

I can guarantee you he wouldn't talk to me in person like he does on here. To me he just sounds like a mouth artist with no courage to tell anyone anything in person, man to man. I am assuming of course he is a man.
