  chessmoron: <TheFocus> I think <OCF> is implying that kibitzers needs to tone down snide remarks when critiquing AJ's games and analysis.

For example, from <DrMal> on P Wells vs Shirov, 2006 responding to SimonWebbsTiger of AJ's analysis as useless: "You were maybe expecting something different? He has over 10,000 posts to convince with, silly <SWT> I am shocked with you LOL."

<DrMal> doesn't need to provide this insult as it is unnecessary.

I know most people are frustrated with AJ's games of lacking quality and AJ's analysis is not up to par, but don't get your emotions tie into the critiques.

  TheFocus: <chessmoron> I don't think you know <OCF> very well.

These hypocrites like to think they are so above it all, but yet they drool over every post the <Troop> make.

Sad in a way. Sick and pathetic in another.

You have people eating at this carcass and complaining that they did not get wine served with their chunk of rotten meat.

  OhioChessFan: Oy vey, what was I thinking? Even <Santa Claus> is being polluted! I am sorry for making that remark on this page though it was completely honest and to the point <Penguin> raised. I even hate to make this post but.......
Nov-28-11  Penguincw: < OhioChessFan > Oh. Well thanks for donating before anyways. Without your generosity, I don't think I would be a full member right now.

  Stonehenge: <Well thanks for donating before anyways>. I agree.

<OCF> Please try to ignore people like <TheFocus>. They are just some frustrated little trolls.

  tpstar: It's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraid

At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of Joy

Throw your arms around The World at Christmastime!

But say a prayer, pray for the other ones

At Christmastime ... it's hard, but when you're having fun

There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

Where the Christmas bells that are ringing are the clanging chimes of Doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Band Aid, "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

  HeMateMe: Dear Santa

Please keep Aaron Rodgers healthy, and only deliver presents to homes that have either 1) solar paneling or 2) a windmill on their property. A stand has to made, and you, big guy, are the right one to make it.

So that 1) Santa gets shredded by a windmill and 2) All those poor SOBs in Zimbabwe figure out that until they start putting up some turbines and contributing they ain't getting nuttin

  FSR: Dear Santa:

I heard this joke about why you and Mrs. Claus don't have any children, but it's a little naughty for the G-rated chessgames.com environment. Send me an e-mail (fsrhine AT gmail.com) if you want to hear it.

Nicely yours,

FSR

  FSR: I think Krapp threw that game in the hope that Santa would bring him better presents.

Apologies for the late notice, but could you please inform the elves that despite previous requests I would prefer to play a game of Boggle with Anna Sharevich on Xmas morning if at all possible.

Danke.
