@fmf saidSuzianne, maybe you play your saxophone for an hour on Sundays to your cats. Maybe you don't have any way of knowing what l "a tempest in a teapot" actually is, for all your generic, disinhibited, scorn?
In your life "away from here" do you have any creative outlet that affects about 42,000 people on a weekly basis? Just say. Then we can see what your estimation of "a tempest in a teapot" is.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI don’t dismiss the notion that person can live free of anger, I dismiss your claim that you live free of anger.
I think there is a strong parallel between the two. You dismiss the possibility that somebody can exist free of anger and I dismiss the notion that we live in a world void of altruism.
But I'm not surprised you want to conceal that Achilles heel of yours.
What was it you said “I’m slow to act but when I do I really do” or words to that effect. Oh yes I’m sure I’ve got you pegged as too-tightly-wrapped.
@suzianne saidWhat I find a little “weird” is your relationship with ghost of a duke. Clearly he is quite intelligent and yet he swallows your BS like he’s drinking from a fire hose.
What is weird is when it's based on a mutual feeling of desperation. Add in the obvious shared narcissism, and yeah, it's weird, edging toward creepy. Symbiotic describes it perfectly.
@suzianne saidFirstly in ghost of a duke’s lying thread in his club there are at least 20 or more contributors. So plenty of interest.
I think the bigger takeaway here is that, for all your hair-pulling and crying, not many people on this chess site really care about this.
Secondly this issue has been contested ferociously across maybe a dozen public forum threads with dozens of people giving their opinion on way or the other.
Thirdly, and yet here you are!!

@divegeester saidI think you failed to absorb the meaning. Being 'slow to act' reflects my lack of anger as a motivator. When I do act I am thorough and calculated precisely because I am acting with a cool head.

Rusty.
That's it.
(Yeah I know, this thread has the shelf life of a crab sandwich).
You are doing the aforementioned with a thorough and calculated purpose and a cool head?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidNo, I realised exactly what you said and meant by it. What happened next was you blew an emotional gasket and flew into a hysteria.
