The post was made as a joke.
I surely didn't expect such a response, especially from you.-

That's very easy to tell for sure if you have 2300 bullet and 2050 ultra

Your posts are always bitter and obnoxious.
You always dislike my posts. I doubt you even read them.
We never played a single game.
Whats your deal dude?
This wanna be admin attitude is annoying, please stop.

I just lack sense of humor and now am feeling partly responsible for this "fight" :(
Indeed I understood half of XeRo13g's initial post as a joke, especially the part about the "oppression to get blitz rating"
I answered here just to explain the reasoning behind the chosen time control for the upcoming marathon event.
That being said I hate to see the turnaround in this topic and really hope that it does not go back and forth now here - if you two have to talk, please, take it in private. Peace!

Perhaps a 3+1 time control is in order. I personally dislike playing with increment and berserking against a 2 second increment makes it almost impossible to flag people. Maybe 3+1 would be a nice compromise for the next marathon.
I think is blitz
