@MeepMonster I specifically mentioned the first post, that one is of course completely fine.

Anyone who believes chess has anything to do with intelligence receives an automatic deduction on their IQ score. Depending on the severity of the misconception, the resulting score is between moron and idiot."
The first comment she/he made.
Other posts were making fun of something (would've guess the topic, but given her/his first comment, might have been me). As it also can be easily seen, I did not respond. The last one was insulting, again (maybe I've missed one more, dunno).
So let's see: I post something, she/he insults me instead of giving a real argument (ad hominem), already entering some classification of a "troll", then makes fun of either my content or me, or something, either way purposely negatively "contributing" to the topic, qualifying as a "troll".
You can see, of course, that most people disagreed with me; I however, did not call them "trolls" for nothing, instead I politely responded, yourself included.
I warned I was not responding to her/him again if the trolling continued. Really, it's right there, fully written! Is this considered a threat?
By being a troll, and in the way in which it was done, she/he did act very rude and immaturely.
I thought you understood my "it was a joke". This answer I wrote you just now was my planned original answer, but I didn't want to let this issue grow further (as it has now), so I opted for a funny response. Shouldn't have done it.
As I said, this topic has died out and is only being fueled by this strange discussion. I hope this is settled so we can let it die and be replaced by more interesting ones.
Cheers!
@Acoffe Whatever, I'm just tired of this topic in general. This topic gave me something to do. I'm not going to put anymore effort into an argument here. It was fun though, and my position remains the same despite it. I got to learn some more about your perspective on this issue and while the ideas seem logical, the small amount of sensible evidence isn't convincing enough.
Very good example of chess performance not going together with intelligence is >>> Cheating titled players.
Don't want to mention names, but there were titled players cheating and caught cheating = stupid, low IQ; no offense of course, it is past, perhaps they are smarter now and won't do those stupid things again. Title (chess, sientific or professional) is never a 100% indicator if someone is intelligent.
Remember, Einstein couldn't even put on a pair of pants.
Intelligence is merely strength in a particular field(s), not all.

It was a real test... sorry, I was inactive for a while. It wasn't online
