Life In 19x19

Let's take this apart:

Well, my usual complaint remains, ... , the absurd elitism of the players. Perhaps I am the elitist here, for not taking someone's amazing talent seriously enough.
I'm not sure where this complaint is coming from with examples in this first post.

However, I have always ...

Again, see your previous posts in the forum. Mean, rude, ect. Falling on deaf ears here bub.


I just had a seizure. My shoulder and ankle hurts and I'm on lots of pharmaceutical drugs and treated by contempt by society because of this, something I cannot control. This is not an exaggeration ...

He wasn't trying to help me out he was being a dick, as have you all, you're right, I shouldn't post on this forum, and it actually really isn't like me to be a mean person, but I thought you were all very rude and unhelpful and I'll never post here again.

So you think I'm rude and treat others with disrespect? Just because I said the human species was hopeless? That's not rude. That's not disrespect. That's the truth. I am well aware that this is not a psychiatric forum. Me thinking that doesn't mean I have issues it means ...

I'm not saying anything about you; you're just assuming that I think you have no right to think X or feel Y; I'm not even saying you're wrong. What I am saying is that you're yelling and complaining about how horrible the human race is on a n internet comedy forum go forum. When you calm down ...

You don't know me. You don't know what my life was like. You don't know how much I have suffered. I think I'm right to have my opinion of all other people be that they are selfish and despicable and worthless. If I'm wrong you'll have to prove to me your goodness. But I see no reason as of now to ...

I will not listen to anyone's advice on how you play ever again. Because if I've learned anything it's that I can only trust you to be untrustworthy.

I'm sorry for your recent bad experiences, but you're jumping off the deep end here. Some people lie; some are mean; many people are genuinely ...

EDIT:
I missed your followup message, but if that's the case, there's no requirement to play them again, and I'm sorry you had to deal with them.


Thank you for your kind words. I still like the game. It's a nice distraction for me, and actually it has cheered me up during bad times. I think I ...

he just said that so he could save them later,
Ah, would be most helpful to have the game record. Otherwise, impossible to know exactly what was the situation on the board.


So you do not believe me? I'm telling the truth, he was trying to make me think they were stones which were in a position ...

I mean, I don't mind chatting after the game, just during I do not like. Actually the guy who tricked me into letting him escape, is fairly interesting, he said he learned Go in the military in Korea and that the military gave him LSD. I am still unclear as to why, but he also says he has met the ...

there's this guy at my Go club who talks during games Hi darWIN, Sorry to hear that. Your options include: ⋅ Don't play him; yes, if your club is small, this may be annoying;
⋅ Have a chat with him, let him know politely and calmly that kibitz during a game is very bad form ...

I had wondered where DarWIN had got to. Welcome back.

Maybe one of the wonderful things about Go is its endless number of faces: to some it can be just a board game, something to occupy the mind and pass some friendly time. And to others, a source of a lifetime obsessive study, driven by ...

There's a difference between being nice and being honest. And you weren't honest. If the ranks were designed that way they wouldn't be numerical according to who is better, they'd be about style of play or something.

I'm being completely honest. I hope I didn't offend you! I really just want to ...

Also, people who take themselves so seriously they consider a friendly joke the gravest of insults disgust me. I'm just saying in general board game culture can disgust me. I don't like being told to believe things that aren't true and I don't like taking the ridiculous seriously. I'm sorry I ever ...

That's what I was doing, but there's a huge ridiculous hierarchy, and they do hand out grades. I've played on IGS and sometimes it says I'm a 17 kyu and sometimes it says I'm beginner class, but for some reason IGS doesn't start at 30 kyu, anyway it's just an internet site it's probably meaningless ...
