Hi Raven

I have a friend - a somewhat purple friend - who has a problem. He visits this chess website on the foums of which is to be found a self-righteous hypocritical idiot who posts a lot of tripe in the forums. Usually my friend ignores it, but recently, ummm, he has been kind of finding the, erm, posts of this self-righteous hypocritical idiot a tiny bit, you know ... amusing. THERE, I said it!

What should I advise him? Should he stay true to his initial instincts and carry on loathing the self-righteous hypocritical idiot? Or should I recommend he admits to himself his change of heart and apply to join TSM?

Dear You Know, Amused,

Why do you think it is hard for you, I mean for your friend to admit he finds this guy amusing? There is nothing wrong with changing your opinion about someone. And there is also nothing wrong with having an opinion that is less than popular. Who cares what anyone else thinks?

My advice to your friend is to join whichever club/clan he wants. They are not prisons; if he changes his mind again he can always leave.

Much love,
Raven

One can spend too much time here even without a sub. The problem is not the subscription itself but time management. If you want a sub, get one. But allot specific times (2-3 hours, or however many you think is appropriate) during the day to RHP and avoid it like the plague during the rest of the time.

Much love,
Raven

P.S. All my services are free of charge.
Dear Raven,
Thank you for your quick response. I apologize for my tardy "thank you" but I just got back from a round of golf. I must, in all honesty, mention that I am "hurt to the quick" due to your reference to a Non-Sub Scum. Please in any future (should there be any) correspondence refer to me as "Former-Sub Scum". As for time management I have managed to do a lot better since my subscription expired for which my golf partners are quite happy.
Yours in Chess

Me too
I told GB about one of my dreams. He said it would make a great short story.
It had chess, and violins...ok a cello. 😕
I don't even play one but I had one. 😞

That is correct, got to take the sting sometimes. You are doing well because I know you understand. Working smarter not harder is the key. Hang in there Rusty, friend to friend advice. Easy does it. Slow and steady. Take a deep breath and count to a trillion before you over react to posts. Ahh the honey is sweet.🙂

Dear Trev (Ravens "Lackey"😉,
Golf is enjoyed, usually daily, thank you. Say don't you have a job (cheffing...OK baking), or have you given that up for your new venture as Ravens PA?

daily golf? you most be retried, good for you for living so long.
today is my first day as raven's PA, if all goes well i hope it will turn into a full time thing. she doesn't pay that well but the attitude she dishes out is very arousing. don't hell her though as it might affect my chances of full time employment.

I don't kiss butt, never did, and don't intend on starting now. I think you know this, we only been over it a zillion times.

If someone craps on me, they can expect the same treatment, if they are nice, I can be equally nice.

Some free advice for you is sometimes it is best just not to say anything. I know you are just looking to make some brownie points, but you are not making any here FRIEND!

Perhaps Count to a Zillion and think before making suck up posts. 😛

*red night seal of approval*

i would give it my own, but come on 'this wonderful consept that Raven came up with' lets not flatter the girl, her heads already too big.

btw she will be the first to point out that it's 'concept' not consept, do you really want to give this sort of person praise?
