    geneer,

    I am not defending what is occurring, merely trying to explain it. Humans are pack animals, they tend to seek out friends, allies and acquaintances, anyone who stands apart and is inclined to be condescending and insulting to everyone else, shouldn't expect anything but ridicule. It's just the way the world works both in real life and on the internet.

    I'm not saying this to belittle you, hopefully you can learn something from what is going on here. We are not on this planet for long, you owe it to yourself to make your temporary stay here as good an experience for you as you can get (and me too, I don't get everything right either).

    Your online utopia sounds nice Chessnorris, but you clearly can't live up to your own ideals.

    OK, I admit I'm not (or anywhere near) perfect, tell me why I can't live up to my ideals? Let's do this with me as an example rather than you.

    By the way I don't play chinese chess (or circular chess) although I admit that I have been curious about both in the past, but tbh I struggle enough with conventionial chess without taking on additional challenges in that area.

    Well I admit I am far from perfect, but I would claim to be quite stable. Believe me it would be hard to handle a class of over 120 students if I was unstable. I admit they test my patience, but at the end of the day they seem to respect me, despite the ocassional fall out.
