actually my original post was about english only in regard to chess terms
like pawn promotion.

So, instead of writing "...english" (sic), why did you not write
"chess terms" or "chess terminology" or something similar?

the original poster wanted to queen a pawn into a
bishop etc. and you turned this into a diatribe about how little mark
houlsby knows and how offended he might be that someone else knows more.

Run that one by me again....? You seem to be trying to say that, in
the opinion of "little marc margolies", "Seabook" was wrong to have
written: "...Queening to rook or bishop" in the subject heading.

You took issue with him (or possibly her) for having done this.
Evidently, you thought it was perfectly alright for you to have done
this. Unfortunately, because of the rude and ignorant manner in which
you *attacked* a poster new to this group, for his/her having used
chess terminology which "little marc margolies" considers
inappropriate, "little mark houlsby" noticed your unwarranted,
inappropriate and, crucially, intrinsically *deeply* flawed attack
on said newbie, and pointed out, in a manner which was intended to be
good-humoured, your having made an idiot of yourself.

Everything which you have since posted in this thread has served
*only* to provide *further compelling evidence* of your being either
illiterate, or an idiot, or both.

the original poster's question was predicaated in his words, about advising
a chess expert.

Have you ever heard of "sarcasm"? Did it occur to you, even for a
moment, that "Seabook" might have *intended* to sound a tad sarcastic
in describing him/herself as an "expert". Did it occur to you, even
for a moment, that, having been landed with a task with respect to
which he/she felt inadequate, "Seabook" decided to ask the *real*
experts - in this group - how to *address* the problem with which
he/she is faced? What he/she got from you was a lot of incredibly rude
near-gibberish.

i sent him to a book for beginners.

Did you, indeed? Do you have proof of your having mailed it?

then you felt i must be
put upon.

Did I? I don't remember ever having *thought* (much less "felt") that.
Thanks for enlightening me....

hardly an issue of good manners by you or square facts.

On the contrary, this is *entirely* "an issue of good manners" - and
your apparently lacking them completely.

I do hope that "Seabook" posts again. Equally, I hope that you do not,
ignorant, stupid troll.

Have a nice day, now...
