I played another perfect game!

@SlicingBishop2006 I don't play casual because it's better to play rated. I hold myself to standards and encourage others to take those same standards unto themselves. It's just a responsibility thing.
"better to play rated" how?

"hold myself to standards Carlsen plays casual.

If someone is obsessed with a rating, only will play low-rated players, and only paly rated you can tell they are immature and care way too much about some online numbers.
@SlicingBishop2006 I'm not a narcissist and you are not a psychologist to diagnose me as one (and a psychologist wouldn't do that off of a forum post either, evaluations are done in a certain way, by certain people and to professional standards). You are taking me as some jerk and all that, it's your business but what i'm saying is the toxicity is inside of you and in the eye of the beholder. I'm not subject to any of that and what you're saying is just noise. Not that I think you're a bad person, I just think you're offended and throwing a tantrum.
@SlicingBishop2006 I don't care what carlsen does. Means nothing to me. I'm not obsessed with rating either, in fact I don't really care about it. I do however think people play more seriously in a competitive game mode for subconcious and environmental reasons and if i'm going to give someone a game I want it to be where they will put their best foot forward. Casual, like blitz is simply a kiddie game and I don't allow for such stuff.
"environmental reasons"

LMAO. Don't play casual kids! Think of the polar bears. Only play rated.
@Gambit2Mate I've agreed with people on some threads so far, like the one where someone was suggesting to hide puzzle ratings. I've praised and thanked others. Just because I think someone doesn't know what they're doing doesn't mean I use broad strokes to paint everyone the same. How you're received is a product of what you show,
@IPunishDaddy2007 “I don't play casual because it's better to play rated.” Now that’s funny.. I would like to hear a coherent argument as to why that is.

Why is it okay to assume @SlicingBishop2006 is offended but he can’t assume you’re a narcissist?
