He...He also thinks highly of his linguistic skills. He says that the language we use in our writings is "ugly". Doesn't take a genius to tell you that it implies that he thinks his is "beautiful".<br /><br />Looks like this is really turning into personal attacks. Ah, what the hell anyway.<br /><br />Floats my boat if people find what I say to be entertaining :DThoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460950882568073203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633486933711655941.post-56373733978643131772011-02-07T21:20:09.844+08:002011-02-07T21:20:09.844+08:00Good analysis.

Vague.<br /><br />What he fails to realise is that walking within the grey area is a foolish move, because then nobody can really understand what he is saying.<br /><br />The ambiguity of his writing is either intentional, or just a result of a pathetic attempt to write like a literary genius. What do I mean?<br /><br />Look at just that paragraph you quoted; the first sentence has the literary device of repetition. The next one treats the abstract noun "thoughts" and "words" as concrete nouns. The following is just another figure of speech. The remainder? Metaphors.<br /><br />He might as well just blog in the form of poetry.<br /><br />Having said so, if what you said is really true, then it is just another manifestation of his god complex; he believes that only one person in the entire Malaysian chess community is against him.<br /><br />But does nobody really notice the humour in this? His every reaction to allegations is just calling them liars and cowards, and slanderers. Red herring, anyone?Thoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460950882568073203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633486933711655941.post-80164169236391219152011-02-06T21:13:44.885+08:002011-02-06T21:13:44.885+08:00I believe he thinks that Jimmy is actually Rationa...I believe he thinks that Jimmy is actually Rationality, the Chess Ninja, you and all the other Anonymous people who post in the shoutboxes. <br /><br />That's why he said:<br /><br />Be proud of your name, be proud of who you are. Own your words and thoughts. Dont hide behind anonymous bloggers and voices to say what you really want to say. They are but shadows. Forget the cheap tricks.<br /><br />But then again, I could just be speculating.
