The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Of COURSE it is! In other words, you're on your rating FLOOR. You literally can't go under 1800 by USCF rules. And old-ass ratings from whatever crusty era you were young in are way inflated compared to today's ratings. You're MAYBE 1500 strength, being optimistic, in other words, too weak to teach anybody except for stone beginners. Scam artist.
My rapid rating on chess dot com is over 1850.
And my chess knowledge is certainly well over 1800.
d2_e4 and I have played many blitz games on chess dot com, if he wishes to opine on this subject.
Because false teachers (by definition) are teaching things contrary to God's Word. And false teachings can lead folks into false beliefs.
Has nothing to do with God being "insecure."
Thankfully, the rate of people who literally believe in this 1600-year old book written by sheep herders and is the basis for SO MANY of the awful things within our society has been, is, and will continue to plummet.
I was gonna say that would happen more quickly if they removed malevolent charlatans like lagtight from broader society, but I changed my mind, the lagtights of the world are so nearly-universally loathed that they're probably actively turning people OFF religion every time they open their mouth.

I don't know that I'm qualified to opine on the chess skills of those much better than I am. I do know that I've beaten you more than zero times so you can't be all that good lol.
This is weird, because while you've always struck me as a low-info, far-below average poster, I genuinely didn't think you could reach this level of abject stupidity.
Related to my biggest leak in poker; overestimating the intelligence of my opponents
That hurts my feelings Karl. :(
Fwiw, I've always regarded you as a very well balanced, nuanced and thoughtful poster, who isn't prone to insane bouts of mega-rage ever. I'm sorry you don't feel the same way about me. I'm just not gonna be able to cheer on the baby murders, with the same enthusiasm in future, now that this is festering in the back of my head. I hope you're happy.
I'd rather not be responsible for Karl having a stroke responding to my brilliant posts, so I'll take a break.
And I look forward to seeing Karl back here after his inevitable temp-ban.
See y'all laters!

Speaking of having a stroke...
Three old ladies - Gertrude, Maude and Tilly were sitting on a park bench having a quiet conversation when a flasher approached from across the park.
The flasher came up to the ladies, stood right in front of them and opened his trench coat.
Gertrude immediately had a stroke.
Then Maude also had a stroke.
But Tilly, bless her heart, being older and more feeble, couldn't quite reach that far.

Doesn't really look like the rate of people who believe in ~1600 year old Holy Books is decreasing to me. You can argue Christianity has been (and will continue to) take a backburner in nominal Christan cultures; but it seems this is more than offset by the growth of Muslim populations, who are generally becoming more iconoclastic and fundamentalist.

Is it possible that I have been moved down to the third biggest POS in these forums based on recent events?

FWIW forum rules have changed since your last hiatus. Karl has not posted anything ban worthy under current rules, and most of the stuff you have been banned for over the years would not be ban worthy either.

Karl will only bitch about the Christian sky daddy but will never dare say a word about the Islamic sky daddy, due to him being a lockstep ideologue with no consistency.

You might have narrowly missed out on the number 1 spot for being the biggest, but hopefully you can take some solace in the fact that your number 1 spot as the dumbest is eternally secure.

The leftists in Iran tried this approach, allying with Islamists to push out the Western aligned monarchy, and we see where it got them. The noose.
If/when the union of leftism and Islamism ever succeeds in the shared goal of destroying Western liberalism here, I would expect a similar outcome.
The fact that you are incapable of embedding a youtube video in a forum post kinda proves my point there, champ.
This is the character from Star Wars you remind me of. Jabba The Hutt's pet.
The fact that you responded this quickly before I could edit this means you need to get a life.
"Well, I might be an imbecile, but you caught the evidence before I deleted it, so you're a loser, na na na!". Sick burn, bruh.
Still not having much luck with the ole embedding, huh? It's a tricky one, if you have an IQ of 65.

I didn't say you are a loser. Probably vitamin D deficient but not a loser.

To be fair, my IQ is 95-ish and I can't figure out how to embed yootoobs either.
I don't know how to do any of the fancy editing in here. Is there a place in here that gives directions? It seems other sites I've been on were pretty straightforward. I am willing to learn.
Quite the brain trust we've got here. Pro tip: if you're not sure how to do something on the forum, quote a post by someone else who's done it, and you'll see how it's done.
