Purple: I don't know. I am generally not supporting Ed Trice, I don't like his behaviour, pride and certain other aspects of his personality, but here he only reacted after gooner's comment, which wasn't for sure meant as a start of some war, but one has right to defend himself. The line ET played was really too risky and unsound and his comment had some informative value though. But perhaps he could show some format and resign it finally without prolonging it forever.
So I don't see such reaction as a reason enough to be banned from checkers board, where he adds some informations about checkers here and there also. I never knew about "first" and "second position" before, now I heard at least, may be I can use it later to be better checkers player in case the game will get my interest.
