You say I'm hypocritical, now?  That's interesting...

Perhaps it's easier to ignore when some other people might make similar statements, such as with Bob, when they (a) mention that it's primarily for an off-topic talking point, thus making it less mean-spirited, and (b) don't have a long history of bullying others on the various fora.  Unfortunately, since you are well-known to be guilty of (b), and there wasn't any indication of a change from this pattern, it's far more relevant to mention it directly here of you, and let others who are also guilty of minor forms of this learn from your mistakes and keep in mind not to do similar things.

Oh ok Rob enough, you have made your point here. One thing you may or may not put into the equation. Is Uly has been by far the most active corr chess player on the forum and that accounts for a lot of posts. Hes involved in a lot of different things here was well, he is a beta tester. And had contributed in a lot of ways to computer chess here.

> If Uly is "reasonably young and healthy" and what I said just for a moment makes him stop and think, "yeah what am I doing?  a post every two hours for 4 and a half years? not just waking hours... all hours... is this really how I should spend my life?"

I guess that if it takes you a long time to be able to coordinate and organize complex ideas, as well as if it takes a long time to type, this might be difficult to understand.  For others, who in addition to not being limited by these problems, also have a long knowledge of history and understand that if you're a moderator trying to solve people's problems, you might rattle off 10 or more short posts in a 30-minute period; understand that if you're the captain of a correspondence team and are coordinating and organizing analysis, responses could be far more rapid than this in the same time period; and understand that if you participate in other such activities, responses will also be very rapid and not take much time to produce; this will not appear so unusual.  For you, on the other hand, who are one who likes to limit the thoughts and imagination of others, to project your own weaknesses to those of others, and who has such a deeply malicious mindset that as soon as you see someone who is different from you, you try to expose, exaggerate, and outright invent any weaknesses or transgressions that your mind can create, this might, through the crookedness of your own mind, somehow seem difficult to understand.

Shall we count all of your posts on the Hiarcs and TalkChess fora, as well as on Chessbase?

Personally, whether I like or dislike the person, I don't find counting a person's posts in various fora as a relevant part of a debate.  I know that some people here have been doing that with Bob, and that's really not a good idea, either.

Well let me say this Capa...

If he is "handicapped" or iwo very limited in mobility or confined to a bed...

Hey, then I think that a good thing for him...

But if he's a young, reasonably healthy individual living in front of a computer ... I do not see that something to brag about... I would be ashamed of that.

Almost double the posts of the 2nd highest person?  And this is just one forum...

so yeah "makes me wonder"

again tho as I said... to each his own.

If it "makes you think", and you're thinking that he might be right, then you've already succumbed somewhat to Rob's sick mentality through his persuasion.

Anyone who posts regularly knows that many intelligent posts are "self-apparent", and come easily.  In a 30-minute period, it is quite easy to rattle off 5-10 posts.  If you've captained a correspondence match, then 20 posts in a 30-minute period happened quite often.

I've read through most of your posts trying to understand you, as you are unusual in many ways.

I've come to the conclusion that you simply have no respect for anyone who disagrees with you, and no respect for some that do if they don't quite agree enough.
