I think you are arguing with someone who exists only in your mind.

I have never talked about you wanting to censor anyone.

I have never set up a strawman argument let alone "keep attacking" one!

I took issue with your haughty advice "that discussions would
be improved if more people could take the time to read what's
already been written (preferably by established philosophers)
before creating new threads in blissful ignorance.

It was rude and patronising. So I parodied you and you didn't like it.

Too bad.

I agree that your posts are becoming more and more
incomprehensible as you try and worm your way out of this.
I'll let others decide who is stupid here.

Why do people on message boards so often resort to brandishing the word "troll" when they get a little bit flustered?

Your current chess rating is 1695 with an average opponents' rating of 1674 this past year; hardly a stupid man.

It would seem to make sense. Perhaps this entity created sin in order that his biological creations would actually do something, rather than sit around being good. You have to admit, that all the interesting stuff happens when good and evil conflict. It could also explain the wide range of treatment Humans have received from him/it/she through biblical history.

"Could god and the devil be the same entity?" Odbod, one is the sovereign creator while the other is an angelic creature.

Perhaps, like others here, Wolfgang will be happy to be regarded by you with your scornful disdain.

I get the impression you enjoy being obnoxious.

But the answer is *still* no.

I don't believe in a strong correlation between intelligence and chess ability.

There are many examples on this site of weak players with sharp intellect
and of strong players who act as daft as a brush.



edit: And my Tournament Entry Rating is 1732 😠

Great! Did the "Tennyson gambit" play a role?
