The answer to your question, which is really not a question but rather a pathetic attempt at an insult, is probably 1000s of times....mostly by you and your band of cohorts.
If we understand trolling to mean posting something confrontational in order to elicit a response and draw the user into an argument then the very act of calling someone a troll is probably, in most cases, an act of trolling itself.
So, who is the troll here?
Frankly if we are going to be honest, and I'm usually nothing but, then we would have to admit that trolling is a major sport here on RHP. Most of us are trolls at one time or another and many of us are trolls more often than not....but I'm guessing that at night as you sit under your bridge and contemplate your worthless existence that you are already aware of that fact.

LMAO!!!
Like when you claimed you had an 1880 USCF rating that doesn't happen to show up on the USCF player ratings pages?

You know, people did play tournament chess here in the US long before you started two years ago.

Yeah.
She didn't flap her yap like most girls, didn't eat much and always puts out. It's great.
The aforementioned comment that you made, makes you sound very disrespectful of girls/women, and yes a dumb statement to make.

EDIT: I don't have time to go copy and paste all your dumb statements, I have chess moves to make, p.m's to answer, etc., etc.!

Hardly the first time you've been called dumb, eh Jowley?
There you go. You've answered your own question to Crowley that I quote above.
You also claim that your question to Crowley was a pathetic attempt at an insult. Not bad. Did I miss something?
Oh, yes, of course.

Nice of you to admit that you also commit "acts of trolling" under your definition.
By the way, many intolerant people also argue that calling them intolerant is intolerant. Go figure.

It's already been pointed out to you that the USCF website has crosstables of all tournaments since 1991. It has also been pointed out to you, that there are many players listed on the USCF website with ratings who have not competed since before that. A USCF rating, unlike love, is forever. If you ever had a USCF rating, you'd be able to find it there. As you have admitted you cannot (because you haven't played in a USCF tournament in "several years" according to you), it is obvious that you lied.
If you wish, you could state here the name, location and date of the last five USCF tournaments that you played in and this information could be checked. Until you do, the only conclusion to be drawn by your own admissions and the facts as outlined above is that you lied and continue to lie regarding this matter.

Because of your constant hounding of me, I did a little more checking.
It appears that tournament records on the NASD site do not go back before January of 1991.
Larry Christiansen, for instance, has no tournaments listed before 1992.
I checked and found the names of many people I played against. All of them had expiration dates that were more recent than mine, with one exception. One guy who I played in High School had no expiration date....it just said non-member. I'm not sure why he is on there, but it appears that he may have been active sometime in 1990.
I quit playing tournaments when I was in College. I had other things to do and had figured out that I wasn't going to be the next Bobby Fisher.
The guy who was state champion when I first started playing shows up as a life member and "UNR" for his rating.
probably the most interesting thing for me in this research was finding the guy who "broke my back" as it were. I lost two games, the second in the state championships, to a kid who was two years younger than me and lower rated. I had beaten him three times the year before. It was a wake up call in many ways. he is now rated 2225. So, I guess he was pretty good. He shows an expiration date of 2010 and no tournaments since 1/1/1991.

It took me all of 5 seconds to find this player 12466282: A WILLIAM WRIGHT. 1379 1990-01
Quick Rating (Unrated)
Correspondence Rating (Unrated)
State KY
Expiration Dt. 1988-03-31
Last Change Dt. 1987-05-18
So his membership expired in 1988, more than 20 years ago but he still has his rating 1379. It would be child's play to find many more players like this on the USCF charts.
If you had a rating in the 1980's, it would be on those pages, period.
EDIT: Here's another one:
12409009: A VERN JONES
Regular Rating 1625 1990-01
Quick Rating (Unrated)
Correspondence Rating (Unrated)
State IA
Expiration Dt. 1986-09-30
Last Change Dt. 1985-10-17
Your story is no more believable than the "National Master's" or clivestraddle's.

I get in more OTB rated tournaments than you and RN do (which isn't hard as his number is, and always has been, 0). I've played in 5 this year and hope to do at least 3 more before December 31st.
