That was what I was looking for, you have had other accounts.
It's hardly a secret. I have been open about it and mention it quite often. I've posted over 50,000 times as FMF and maybe a few hundred times (I can't remember) with the other two.

FMF,
Sorry, must have missed it along the way. I don't really cling on to every word you say. It certainly isn't a priority for me. 😉

FMF,
That is not for me to say, or even judge for that matter. I just said in my opinion I think they lead a very sad life. This doesn't make me correct or wrong.

And yet you are exhibiting a peculiar, tangential interest in it all of a sudden on this thread. Nobody has even gone anywhere near the notion that you might - or that anyone might even think for one moment that you - "cling on to every word" I post... except you ~ in the post above. Very peculiar.

I would have thought that people who come here come to play chess at varying levels of seriousness and if they make a few friends through in game chats then that's just natural and harmless. I can't see how such a thing means they live a "very sad life" and people might "feel sorry for them". What an odd thing for you to blurt out. There's an unmistakably misanthropic smell coming from it. 😛

Bot,
Obviously you are missing my point altogether. I said: IF people come on here just to make FRIENDS, in my opinion they lead a very sad life. Do you acknowledge the difference? 😉

What you could be smelling is your own breath blowing back in your face. Have you brushed, flossed and gargled today. 😛

FMF,
You did say you have mentioned it many times about having different accounts. I have just never noticed. Meaning I don't cling on to every word you say, a lot of it isn't worth remembering in my humble opinion. Don't mean to hurt your feelings. 😉

Not really. Either way, I think you are simply talking a load of mean-spirited nonsense about the cardboard cut out versions of people who seem to populate your dreary mindscape. 😉

It seems I hit the nail on the head by describing you as "misanthropic". 🙂

I think they do, if we can accept them for what they are.
