Hi Paul

When you are making a new post you will notice four links underneath the "Post" button. The first of these links is "Insert smiley."

I hope that helps in the future.

I'm not sure it qualifies as trolling. An irrelevant comical aside perhaps while the others discuss the (non)theory of evolution. Nobody picked me up on my 10 edits for a simple sentence. Where are all the players ?

I was going to ask about that, but I was too busy and then forgot about it. So, what is the secret about your 10 edits?

I didn't think you were trolling. You asked a legitimate question.
No hard feelings ... handshake.

When someone I have had no actual contact with, decides to break 20 days of not posting, just to make fun of me, I don't know what to make of it, however. That's why I made the trolling remark.

Edit: LOL ...spelling

The whole thing was just a few jokes, with no mean spirit intended. It's all cleared up. I apologize for my overreaction. To prove this, I am going to thump up all the jokes.

You have a good point there.

It is really the fault of anyone who pays for a service that hasn't delivered in a long time. Money talks, and if everyone who is unhappy with the situation asked for a refund, which under UK law would come under "unfit for purpose", things might get done. As I see it now, the loss of revenue from banning cheaters outweighs the loss from unhappy "human" members.

Cant blame Russ for being pragmatic, especially if the site is his livelihood.

I'm sure there are plenty American Christians on this site who don't cheat. Anyway, you should be worshiping me as a prophet as I predicted that you would spurt computer chess analysis and religious bile. Spooky.
That is because you are in league with the British devils. 😀

That is God, not a god, numbnuts!

He should have taken the ( silent ) advice of others. zero posting = no foot in mouth.
You might not have ever learned about how to use the analyze board feature on here if not for me. 😏

You're not a Christian. You're lying about your religion, which is that of the literalist, not the believer, and you're lying about science. Stop blaspheming in the Chess forum - keep that where it's relevant, in Spirituality.

(And I wish I could say the same thing to the "engine" witchhunters, but alas, they are on-topic here. Almost(!) as odious as fundamentalism, but on-topic.)

Do you wish to back up your accusations of blasphemy in the Spirituality Forum?
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord!

I'm not a christian, muslim or believer in any mythical beings. But I think any intelligent person would look at the evidence and come to the conclusion that a god is, if not impossible, very unlikely.

We all have our own beliefs. Please keep yours to the appropriate forum. Thanks.



ps and don't cheat on my chess site. thanks again.
