Why are so many chess players up their own arses?

I also have a bridge for sale, only slightly used and in excellent
condition, only driven over by a little old lady in Pasadina.

It is not just a good to great chess player that is like that. You will find that kind of a person in sports, academics, and just in life in general.

indeed, we can see that in life in general too, scientist genius, professor.. etc..

I've had the opposite experience. Most players I've met have been very polite and gracious.

Me too. Not a swear or name calling during matches (on this forum it is different tough, thanks to the charms of a Skeeter and a Slow Pawn).

And 'only' one sexual innuendo because someone thought I was a girl. I wonder what experience those with more obvious girl names have in this matter.
