Your choice of words ("Karpov sucks against computers", "Please get a life")
SUCKS! Your defense of those offensive words SUCKS! Your use of those words to
troll here SUCKS (although choosing a topic where most people will agree with
the content of the actual post, if not the way of expressing that content in the
title, was rather unique; i.e. the title is a blatant attempt to get people to
read your post and to generate conversation; your post might have gotten only a
few mild agreement responses without the insult in the title)!
Obviously these opinions of mine are not an insult to you since it is just
slang, is just expressing opinions, and the opinions are about your words and
use of words, and not about you. Obviously.
Quid pro quo. Or in other words, "Mirror, mirror on the wall".
But, if you do not understand, c'est la vie.

PS. I think I did a good job of creating a mild trolling title myself. A few
people may actually read my post here due to me changing the wording of the
title. Would you not agree?
