Re: Origins of the Penguin - the back story emerges
I would say that Bindi is bemused by you and your reactions which seem more appropriate to a fictional character than a functioning human being.
As usual you are not very internally consistent. If you are going immerse yourself in Freudian ideas perhaps you should read up on the topic. You don't rise to the level of nemesis. When I picture you, I certainly don't picture a Greek goddess or a character that makes it past the first act. You are more of a Gollum from the novel (and not the movie) "The Hobbit". You are a minor threshold guardian who is dispensed with by the hero early in the story to be filed away for another day and a more prominent role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
In order to attract the ire of Nemesis the protagonist has to exhibit hubris in the face of the gods which is not consistent with your new story line of an inferiority complex. A narcissist such as yourself might be expected to make such projections onto others. It certainly explains a few things. Your diatribe against all the good feelings when we were celebrating our young world champion,... This brought back painful memories of your father celebrating some minor childhood triumph of your brother who you seem to resent even to this day.
If you ever get off of your butt and establish your new federation you will not get the reward that you think you will. The role of the president is that of a servant. The hard part is setting appropriate boundaries.
There is no need to wallow in your self defeat as the song goes. I have simply dealt with you before. Not you exactly. Smarter, richer, stronger, more charismatic, more educated, actually much more charismatic editions of you, just as malevolent but more focused and driven with (mostly) less psychological baggage. There is nothing new under the sun.
I think you got Kerry Liles meaning. ROFLMAOAY.
I will take that as a resounding, "No."
Happy people don't need to tear down others and inject themselves in a very negative way in what everyone else who is normally functioning would perceive as a good news story - the second world championship in two years. I fully and truly understand you and your pain.
It is not necessary to experience psychosis or neurosis in order to understand it.
Meanwhile, you demonstrate that a total lack of knowledge and insight is an even more dangerous thing.
Guilty as charged. My own ends being helping others to experience what I have experienced by playing chess.
You are boring me now. The FIDE election is over and done with. We made our calculations and contrary to everything you have claimed the results have exceeded our expectations. The Faustian bargain that Sid offered was way too expensive for my taste.
Yes the money that you and Sid said would never come. I know. Now that its here you have many "important" things to say about it.
You are such a drama queen. You are the one who lacks understanding and that is why you fail in all of your predictions. The infrastructure is not crumbling. Some people want the website to be something it is not right now. They want someone else to make it this other something. Someone else is not stepping forward. I got involved in CFC governance because I realized that there was no someone else. Certainly the landscape of Canadian chess is a target rich environment when it comes to finding room for improvement.
We work with FIDE on many things. We work with volunteers on many things. Volunteers work on things that interest them. There is not that much interest in working on the website from volunteers. The website is only one tool in getting our message out.
You have my special attention because you are one of the people that make chesstalk a dysfunctional environment. There is always the temptation to simply abandon it to the trolls and perhaps at some point I will do that but not today.

You on the other hand feel psychological inferiority, and superimpose that onto your nemesis (me).

I understand fully and completely what is going on.
You, Vlad Drkulec, are experiencing a hiatus from your previously humdrum no-account life by suddenly being President of a niche group, and using that post to suddenly 'appear' (via this equally niche podium) god-like; a veritable cornucopia of intelligence, wisdom and power.

Which gives a whole new meaning to Kerry Liles' "LMAO" reply, even if Kerry didn't intend that meaning.
Happiness is a relative concept, there is no absolute happiness in this physical universe because of time. Any notion of absolute happiness is polluted by the limits and transience of time, and any reference to happiness needs to be made relative to have any meaning.
That you would ascribe some notion of absolute unhappiness to me -- and do so without so much as a grain of evidence -- is simply a refutation of the knowledge you pretend to have in your self-elevating references to various thinkers.
You have learned nothing except names and concepts, which is like a person memorizing various mathematical equations and pretending to be a mathematician. You have not experienced the concepts, to understand their meaning.
You merely demonstrate that a little bit of knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing.
Am I happy relative to you? Yes, because I know what's coming and you don't. Whatever happiness you are having right now in relation to your former pre-CFC President self is soon to undergo what in stock market parlance is called a 'plunge'. Of course, that is assuming that you actually DO care about chess, which is something I don't personally believe. I see through the curtain and know that you USE chess for your own ends.
Anyone that cared about chess would not have treated Sid Belzberg in the manner that you did, especially after he cleared up any misconceptions you pretended to have about his motives.
But what is most telling is that you would rather reply to my comments about a childhood experience than comment upon the much more important and relevant issues (to ChessTalkers) of FIDE money -- actual $$$ -- earmarked to GM and IM norms
Yes the money that you and Sid said would never come. I know. Now that its here you have many "important" things to say about it.
while you personally rail against lack of VOLUNTEERS to help with the CFC website. What a dereliction of duty and a total lack of understanding! You are CFC President and you spend time on li'l ol' me while the whole CFC infrastructure is crumbling around you (but there's Kirsan money for the elite). Busted!
