Subjekt: This board

Aloha all,

It seems like this board is getting a little out of control, or maybe I'm just reading some posts wrong. I certainly don't see a new to ban anyone, but since I'm new at ths position, I thought I'd ask anyone else out there who wishes to express their opinion about any of the recent posts to PM me. This board belongs to us all (everyone who reads it), so I'll try to moderate it (along with the other mods.) as best as I can for the audience. If people prefer to see all kinds of rhetoric, we can allow those kind of posts, or if people prefer a cleaner board, we can work toward that too. Just looking for some input/feedback. My door is always open.

Thanks,
Thad

Subjekt: Position of knights

I sometimes thought the knights were too far from the center in Gothic, but in Grotesque they look too close. Where would they develop to? Not in front of the center pawns, surely? But if they go the other way they seem to hinder development of the bishops.

So who is that guy with the cap on?? Is that YOU??

29. septembra 2004, 07:27:02

Well, Robin Roberts is the person behind me wearing the cap. That was taken on September 28, 2003, the last day the Philadelphia Phillies' played at Veteran's Stadium before they knocked it down.

I expected to see a man who was all business like wearing dark rimmed glasses and having a pencil stuck behind his ear.. But, you seem far from that.. You actually are a nice looking man there Trice..

Wow.. Still shaking head in shock!

Thanks for sharin.. ;)

I don't see anything slanderous there. As a matter of fact, that whole discussion has magically disappeared :)

If you read his own Wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User%3AOme
gaMan or click here you will see:

I must confess ...

I am an ex-editor of "Chess Variants" at the Google directory. I was blacklisted for flaming a senior editor of the games category, I infer. To be sure, this person [whom I will only refer to as "she"] did not know a damned thing about chess variants. Yes, they were hanging a "help wanted" sign for a reason. Yet astonishingly, she would dare to arrogantly, relentlessly countermand most of my work for extremely petty (and often, erroneous) or unstated reasons. More importantly, she did some things which I strictly regard as socially unconscionable.

...

which is then followed by a full-page rant against the Senior Editors of the ChessVariants.org website.

I know who this person is, I just got him removed from that place, so he is carrying out his little "posting war" somewhere else. It does not matter, his entry has now been removed from Wikipedia.

One interesting part of that (now gone) post was that, since Ed's program is participating, it could happen that the prize winner and the prize sponsor of the GCWC are almost the same ;) Any comments?

29. septembra 2004, 16:12:14

The poster of the text at http://www.symmetryperfect.com/gothic click here is Derk Nalls. He lives in Ardmore, Oklahoma, and he is now being served papers as I am suing him.

Let's see how long his website displays the slander, shall we?

I like this game, anyone else want to play?

29. septembra 2004, 16:28:23

Thats clever, it dont work LOL just like sueing

29. septembra 2004, 16:34:37

So what would I have to say to get you sueing me?

I'm still amazed that the "grandmaster" of the law courts hasn't yet caught on to the distinction between slander and libel.

29. septembra 2004, 17:06:07
