-Removed-Dive,
I think everyone will look at people in a different light not really having known them at all. In all my time here I've only talked to one person on the phone that is going on 14 years. Still don't know what the guy is really like but seemed like a nice enough guy in my Phone conversation with him.
HoH once told me when we were bantering back in forth back in 2006 that I took things too seriously and he was dead on with that statement. I did take every little thing to heart. He told me have fun with it play around it doesn't really matter what anyone thinks as they don't know the REAL you anyways.
As you and everyone else know that is what I do. I figure I'll be remembered as the trouble maker by many. Does it really matter? I say no not really as no one really know me personally or what I do out in the real world or how I am accepted in my community. All they know is the persona they see on here.
Some will remember me as the person who spoke his mind and didn't really care what anyone thought. Everyone will have their own personal thoughts about me and what they thought. Lets take GB who was far smarter than I am. Everyone looked at him in a different way. I don't know if anyone knew the real person!
At the end of the day I think the question is. Does it matter to YOU personally what people think of you? I will remember you as someone who spoke his mind, we didn't see eye on many things. In the end I will not think badly of you providing I don't go before you do.
Ok, I got a bit long winded there! I think we should just have fun with the forums. We name call and fight too much, I am as guilty or more so than most, but mostly do it just to stir the pot and get things lively or I try without always succeeding in my efforts.

I play 1 minute exclusively on Lichess on my cell. No ads and free. I rarely get over 1500 at one minute games though, I get to where one move away I can mate but then clock runs out🙂
I still get in a lot of mates though. At 1500 in one minute those creeps seem to know what they are doing🙂
The only thing I don't like about is mostly the lack of responses when I try a chat.
But in one minute time control you can't take time out to send chats.....
@great-big-stees saidAs long as we remember our own history... 🙂
Never was a fan of history...now the future, that’s a different story altogether.🤔
