And I don't know where you come up with your claim he was talking about the moronic 1 e4 Nh6. Not a single person was talking about that defense at that point in the thread.

I am going to stop replying at this point because you're probably just a nauseating adolecent. No grown man or woman would talk like that.

I just got back from a session with Playchess.com. In the first game my opponent led with 1. e4 so I play d5 as is my custom. I'm a center-counter, Scandinavian player. I even play it on RHP, hoping I'll learn something. Anyway, the guy on the other end requests an abort. I figure maybe he has to go to dinner or his house is on fire or something. So I ...[text shortened]... you get driveling maniacs who bang nonsense into their keyboard. It just never stops, does it?

A lot of players have problems against 1.e4 ...d5!? I've even had a couple of Experts play it on me in OTB tournaments where the money stakes were high. It forced me to study-study-study the darn line until I felt I could always get an advantage against it!

Could you, please, share some details about your way to play against Central Counter? I am interested to know the line which always ensure white's advantage:-)

This isn't an infallible way of ensuring an advantage but...
Someone played it against me on this site. I had a look in MCO and found this: 1.e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. Bb5+ Bd7 4. Bc4 b5 5. Bb3 a5 6. a3 Bg4 7. f3 Bc8 8. Nc3 Ba6, Kenny - Zukertort 1884.
For white it has the advantage that it's fairly easy to understand what is going on and it's not cutting edge so your opponent may be caught out and have to 'think for themselves' early in the game.
In the game I played my opponent didn't push the queenside pawns and I got an advantage (extra pawns), I felt this wasn't enough so I got my bishop thoroughly trapped, not to be outdone my opponent sent his king straight to the only square that it could be checkmated: Game 909258
