!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I don't feel that I've been derogatory or acted upset. I've explained that people are not likely to know an inside joke. That's what inside jokes are. And if part of an inside joke involves mocking someone, then you'd certainly hope that the jokester would be confident that the other person was in on the joke. And if it turned out the other person didn't get it, you'd hope that the jokester would apologize and politely explain the joke - not act like everyone else is the problem.
It's great that there are a lot of people that like chess. I assure you though, that by far, the majority of those people do not have any idea about your joke, from a tiny part of the chess community.
If you feel you have not been derogatory, please reconsider your language usage in the future.
Someone took the time to answer your question, then you mocked them. That's derogatory. Then after having it explained what you did wrong, you blame everyone but yourself. Choose your own words more carefully.
Wait, I am sorry... when, after the meme ending did I mock them? Like I said earlier I thought they were playing a bit until they reacted so negatively.
I just want to point out here that I haven't downvoted a single one of your comments. That's other people weighing in on this.
I've already explained it and repeating myself would be pointless. Reflect.
Excellent. It looks like we both explained ourselves. You appear to understand my position, and when I ask for clarification further on yours you tell me that it is my fault. Thanks for pointing out my flaws without clarification.
