Also, an article I wrote on the history of chess in Atlanta is the
cover story in the latest Georgia Chess. The next sound you hear is
that of trolls in Brattleboro and Memphis screaming....

Neil Brennen

I am certain that who ever you know who lives in Memphis will
appreciate that HisTrollian. Your blatent self promotion and screams
for attention are very disturbing. You may have a deep inferority
complex. In many cases such self loathing and such obvious cried for
attention point to a less than happy childhood. Did you love your
mother? Did your father abuse you?Did you father neglect you and the
only means of showing affection from your mother was to make you a
batch of brownies?

ow painful it must be for a man in his 40's to find himself alone in a
small apartment in a cold city. Your only friends or emotional support
coming from faceless strangers feinging interest in a desperate attempt
to say"love me" as is reflected in your own actions. It is indeed a
terrible burden to know that you will live out your days , alone and
unloved to perish a bitter old man with a legacy worth naught and a
passing most unremarkable.
I pity you your wretched life.

Perhaps one day you might learn that few people are so impressed by
what you know as they are by how you feel towards others. You should
try and encourage people rather than attempt to bully them. School
yards are full of hulking bullies as yourself. You can choose to
remain unchanged. However it might be refreshing if you would drop your
oppressive and overbearing attitude as well as your girth.

Three full paragraphs of ad hom, then....

By the way,
congratulations on your weight loss. It is an accomplishment you should
be recognized for.
Well Done!

.....a singular "compliment," the sincerity of which can be highly
doubted given the previous three paragraphs, and then.....

Now... feel free to attack and belittle me. I would expect no less.
Rob

Rob takes "the high road!" He insults Neil for three full paragraphs
and then acts as if he's friggin' Mother Teresa with "feel free to
attack and belittle me...." Some martyr.

Rob, if you're going to berate somebody here -- and I don't begrudge
you that right at all; I've done it myself -- just do it. Don't
qualify it, explain in too much detail why, and whatever you do, don't
follow it up with some self-righteous sounding bull**** that you ended
your last post with. If it doesn't make you sound stupid, it makes you
sound soft -- and there's no room for that touch-feely, "We Are The
World" **** here on RGCP. *Especially* when you're trying to go off on
somebody.

Your whole flame was ruined by your last sentence, making your whole
diatribe ridiculous. No offense, but that last just made you look
stupid.
