Why don't people play the Goldsmith Defense?

Bruh @rmilin again he is not banned yet?
Interesting, I just read this post then played on another website, I played 2 games against a player who used this opening . I won both. See below, the game as black (check out my awesome queen sac tactic)


As white, also a very tactical game:


Both games were decided by me attacking the weaknesses caused by overextended pawns. I don't think this opening is very good, but it does lead to fun games.
@TheFerrari it is not good, because 1.h5 is beyond chess principle of controlling the centre. And after 2.c5 white could have played c3 to avoid the loss of the two central pawns.
@RJblue I understand but that is not public shaming, how did I shame him, did I say he was bad? I don't think so. So while it is a joke, I don't get how it is public shaming.

Thank you
Ben
@Ben2006Tor please note that I am just answering your question. I do NOT want to start a fight. I thought you were shaming because you said in #8, " (@)rmilin stole all the gold with his bragging and republics..." I'm sorry if I misunderstood you.
