Christmas with the wider family

@fmf said
I wonder, if another close relative were to pass away in 2023, and I were to mention it on the forums, would I come under personal attack from Very Rusty and Ghost of a Duke again?

Why would you mention in on a chess general forum?

No one expected anyone to lie about someone dying and make up a story about someone else using their account to move?

Bingo.

Imagine if the cretinous Romans had done that about Becker (or vice versa). FMF would have led the moral charge against them and certainly wouldn't be applauding the 'prank.'

I don't know yet. It was a hypothetical question about 2023. A thread about deaths in one's family, perhaps? Something like that. Do you think I should bear in mind that I might be attacked by Very Rusty and Ghost of a Duke again if I do?

Attacked? I offered immediate commiserations for your loss, and when you said you were in poor health wished you good health for the new year.

Get a grip.

In their cases, I probably would have just ignored it.

Wishing you good health in 2023 sir.

From page 2.

You would have milked it relentlessly for weeks.

Yes. Several posters have commented that Very Rusty has gone over the line on this thread and you have twisted yourself into contortions to justify his behaviour.

-Removed-

They are 2 separate things being discussed in the same thread.

Again, what motivated your prank?

Have you and Very Rusty been engaged in a "moral charge" on this thread?

Have you and Very Rusty been "milking" the fact you didn't approve of the prank for the last 15 months?
