It was a joke.
He says he's offended and irritated, so I'm curious why you say he wasn't. Why do you say it was a joke? I don't know how you can look into his mind this way, online, and deterime that.
I said your posts were irritating. I didn't say they were offensive. I didn't even say I was irritated. I certainly didn't say I was offended.
Let me make this simple:
I say that you should be able to post whatever you want, provided it is not offensive. I don't find your post offensive. Mine certainly was not.
That is consistent.
You seem to be saying that no one should say anything that has even the slightest chance of being interpreted as "negative". Then you take great delight in misquoting me and go on gleefully about how desparately "offended" I am. Both wrong and inconsistent.
If you played chess like you argued, we would not be having this conversation about BigAl (who I have PMed). We would be having it about you.
EDIT: Cheers, Ark, but we'd be better off banging our heads against a wall. (Unless that offends walls.)

Ohhh, and I see you are holding my chess rating on this site as a measure of my worth in general.
My experience is that people who pompously rely on their chess rating as a worth of themselves as a person do so because that's all they have to rely on.
It's funny how you get so righteously pissed off when you see a post you don't like. You are nothing but a hypocrit.
And why bring BigAl into this? Hoping for an ally? What lies did you tell him? I don't think it's YOUR right to unilaterally decide whether he or anybody else not in the forums should be dragged into the forums. You are so full of your own self that it's pitiful.
Originally posted by dottewellI just realized the importance of that statement.

It proves that you ARE a person who has intentions of degrading those who's chess ability is not on a level with yours.
I won't speak regarding BigAl's rating, nor mine. But I'll say that based on your rating you have little justification for berating others, because you are far from world champion material yourself. Don't throw rocks when you live in a glass house, or somebody might play the game you start and show you up for the fool you are.
As I said, I did not say your post was offensive. You said I did. That is inaccurate.
What I said was "offensive" what assuming people who had a low rating at chess did not have a sense of humour. That was a comment on my post, not yours.
I think it is pretty clear who is taking ratings far too seriously in this discussion.
You really do need to lighten up.
