I believe our paths last crossed about 4 years ago. I'm not sure this makes me one of your usual trolls but it does make me one of your regular trolls provided we don't contribute to the same thread for another 4 years. You wrote in a thread..

I prefer to resolve chess arguments with moves rather than words.

To which I replied...

Actually this isn't true. You've written in excess of 3000 words on this topic across several threads but only made at last count 1110 moves... this is a ratio of nearly 3 to 1 !!!
If you put as much effort into your chess as you did into your forum posts it could be you who was able to bitch-slap Gazza across the face... grab him by the scruff of the collar... look him intently in the eyes.. and scream "Touch and move pretty boy".

Clearly this is me being pedantic for satirical purposes, to contest otherwise would be an admission of stupidity. Bizarrely you chose to characterize this as a "personal attack" and if this thread is anything to go by have wasted huge sums of money on "professional security services" as a result.

In fact I believe the only thing I ever accused you of in that thread was "being my Lord and Master John Cleese". You may have considered this a sleight especially since he's not half the comedian he used to be however if you seriously think this is something which I should apologise for say so now and I will do so publicly.

I am not accusing you of cheating on RHP. I am just curious as to how my OTB chess skills will match up with yours in long time control games. I am not good at fast time controls because I have never played that way until here recently. I can't concentrate good under time pressure. Do you play in OTB tournaments and what kind of rating do you have under what time controls?

I have no opinion on what Plopzilla wrote about you using a chess engine. It's against the rules but then that's not my opinion. I can criticize him though if it makes you feel better.

"Plopzilla you have awful taste in clothes and your haircut is an absolute disgrace."

My objection is to your assertion of complete innocence in the derailing of this thread.

For most people I would think playing in a simultaneous event against a renowned player is likely to be the highlight of their chess career. You seem very proud of your record and rightly so. Unfortunately I have little recollection of mine since it was over 30 years ago and I have no record of the game which I lost.

As you say you had no previous opinion of Plopzilla and I have no reason to disbelieve that. So I find it strange that as an opening gambit in #4 of this thread you write a post playing down his achievement whilst playing up your own. Post #12 isn't very flattering either and this is all before Plopzilla responds for the first time. So I'll ask my question again since you side-stepped it last time. What kind of reaction were you expecting ?

No change there, then.

By the way, you don't know what the word "troll" means. Perhaps you should look it up in a reputable 'net dictionary (I suggest the Jargon File) rather than relying on Conservapedia.
