@suzianne saidIf Ghost of a Duke sees this post of yours and alerts it, it will most likely get taken down. Especially when he explains to the site admin what his job is and his reason for disapproving so strongly of banter of this kind.
You, on the other hand, don't even want to discuss your NPD.
-Removed-I move in and out of subscription, according to need. I don't see how that is any of your concern. Currently being a non-sub doesn't limit me in any way. I can post to the forums and play the small amount of games I have time for at present. Should I however decided to play in tournaments again, I would renew my subscription.
@suzianne saidIf people know "literally nothing" about you after 200,000 posts, that'd make you a hilariously bad or spectaculatly dishonest communicator, or both.
Literally. No. Idea.
Especially you.
But one can certainly make deductions about your demeanour and behaviour - your personality - from so many posts even if you were endeavouring to reveal "literally nothing" about yourself in 20 years of posting.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidHe was addressing me. He was explaining to me why you are not able to alert posts.
I don't see how that is any of your concern.
@fmf saidI think you have muddled your own understanding by making so many embellishments to what has been shared.

@fmf saidYou miss my point, as usual.

Not interested in elucidating you, either.
@fmf saidThe fact that you actually act as if I didn't already know any of that shows everyone with a clue that the whoosh is indeed yours. The least you could do is own it.
No. There's been no whoosh for me. It's Ghost of a Duke who works in mental health and he recently helped fill 70+ thread pages on the Spirituality saying it over and over again. He apparently takes a very dim view of people throwing around words that psychiatrists use. You didn't seem to pick up on that so the whoosh is yours, I'd say.
