This is a question Crazy People off the Internet

The internet is full of mental. Ever been threatened with violence? Did it spill over into real life? Tell us your story. Or maybe you wish to buck the trend and tell us about the how you've met lots of quite nice, sane people.

I knew a guy with cerebral palsy who was fairly good at chess. In fact, a full third of cerebral palsy sufferers exhibit no mental deficiency whatsoever - another third are classed as having only mild difficulties. It's a motor condition, more than a mental one.

So yeah, it's not so difficult to get beaten at chess by someone with cerebral palsy. One beat me, and I'm pretty sure he'd beat you. This is presuming, of course, that you are prepared to abandon the 'knocking over the King indicates forfeiture of the game' convention; calling him on that would be ungentlemanly, and extremely churlish.

I've never bothered with Reddit. How cretinous is it, compared to - by way of a yardstick - Yahoo! Answers?

It is generally described as a dickhive of idiocy.
It's like if Yahoo Answers and this place had a malformed baby.

That is more or less 4chan.

Funnily enough, another term used to describe it is '4chan with a condom.'
