"at first that there were so many atheists posting...."
All I am going to say on this matter is that if the world was full of
atheists there would a lot less hatred and bloodshed.
Back on thread:
I joined RHP because I love being amongst all these atheist chess players. 🙂
I think the term "lol" is thoroughly misused by 95% of the population that chooses to use (err make that abuse) the term on planet Earth. I can say with a clear and honest mind that I belong to the 5% that understand the proper use (which includes not writing it anytime something makes me smirk or smile, or when I just want to annoy some other person). I have never posted on this forum nor do I post on others, but I do read the chess forums almost daily (I do not even look at the other forums -- please spare me..) It seems to me the majority of "these people" have wayyyyy too much time on their hands. I do mean wayyyy not way for all the English geeks that derive an astonishing amount of pleasure from correcting people who are using the forum for what it was created for. Not all of us want to the time to create something book worthy. If it bothers you someone doesn't have perfect grammar or spelling too bad, no one made you read it. The people that do this know who they are and if you follow the posts close enough you will know who they are as well. But I digress.. That being stated, I have to call out RJhinds today because what he has written on this thread literally made me laugh long (8 seconds - pretty long for an online "joke" I would say) and loud. It was one of those hearty laughs and after hearing me others in the room demanded an explanation - I just showed them this thread and the rest is history, laughs to go around. I am not attacking you personally or insinuating there is something wrong with your belief system.. Just please refrain from insulting others (I am guessing your primary target is atheists) because I can only imagine the rant that would follow anyone posting things that blasted your beliefs. As I scold you I am struggling because you did give me one of the best laughs I have had in the month of October... Hmm.. Anyways this is a chess forum and not a spirituality forum, I think you know the difference and know where to find the latter. Stop thinking you are more important than you are -- It is not your divine mission or destiny to "enlighten" (haha) other people and no higher power put you here on this Earth or had you find RHP so that you could "save" others. Everyone wants to feel important and useful, I get it. Again, no offense just keep it to yourself or post it where it belongs if you really must, so the rest of us ( I cannot speak for everyone but I assume the majority, possibly I assume too much) can enjoy our CHESS website and CHESS forum. Or just keep making me laugh. I am not offended I just think it is silly to the point that I actually posted tonight when I usually just enjoy a little chuckle and keep it moving.. O.K. so about that question: I play at RHP because I am in China and I can't find anyone to play OTB with me, which is pretty lame but the reality. There is Chinese Chess but I am not interested. Some of the enjoyment of chess is speaking with your opponent during or after the game and so even If I somehow learned Chinese Chess this would be an issue. I am learning Chinese but at a turtle pace. Damn this is long and I did not enjoy writing it as much as I thought I would but I can't erase these last ten minutes.. Laterz
p.s. No offense to ANYONE. Also Greenpawn keep up the good work I actually understand your posts and even gain something from reading them (bonus!). Anyone want to show me their favorite opening to play with black? Thanks.
