  3. An ambiguous question concerning the long pimples

    people who use ceramic tiles etc. as rackets are not good players. they use odd equipment as a substitute for training. if you lose against them, just go train more and you'll breeze through them. after a few years of work, you'll sometimes remember those players and how you use to lose to...

  19. Is it unfair to say “yes”/“cho” when the opponent makes an error?

    if you would have payed more attention in school, you would have known that using logical fallacies(appeal to popularity and anecdotes in this case, just to spell it out), can't lead to a valid argumentation. so, you, like most people here, are talking out of your ass, just because you need to...
