That is no fragment. There is a subject (posts), verb (have been), and complete
thought.

Also, I did not know I was trying to speak eloquently. Nor do I wish to be
known as a scholar. Scholars, for the most part, talk, and do not perform.

Perhaps. But I was trying to pack a complex thought into a compact package.

If you were to take all of the people of the earth, and lined them up according
to how much they were concerned over my image, I would be next to last at the
end of the line.

(And, my guess would be Bobby Fischer would be at the end!)

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Wrong. Sorry, but you forgot to read this in context. I was
responding to someone who had 'admitted' they like to hop onto newsgroups for
the expressed purpose of insulting people. Said person tried to lump me into
their little club. Said person desrves a counter-attack.

Huh?

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Wrong again! You're not doing too hot sport. I don't care if
you think I am smart, or just fell of off the hay wagon.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Not your day! My only goal is to show how insipid you people
are when you state half-cocked personal beliefs, and false rumors as if they
were truth.

I am not here to win friends, I am here to make ignorant people dislike me
because I point out how groundless their views are.

BUT! You did mention something correct. And that is the issue at hand. Do tell,
WHAT exactly do your posts have to do with calling for Benjamin to come up with
a better analysis before he spouts off his dislike of Fischer as if it were
done objectively???

Oh, the irony is I always respond to posters with the same methods they use.
Which is why well-thought, and civilized debate gets back the same; while other
posts get back tripe.

If people don't like my tactics, they shouldn't throw them into the arena.
