 | | thegoodanarchist: User: travis bickle deeply insulted <offramp> in the Kibitzer's Café (kibitz #253449) And of course the admins did nothing, because <TB> is no good. One particular admin, not <Sarg>, likes to coddle the criminal element. After all that Daniel did for her, she stabs him in the back daily by coddling those who have done the most damage to Daniel's creation. |

 | | Count Wedgemore: Well, let us hope for the best, <morf>. There is no doubt in my mind that <offramp> is one of the funniest kibitzers to have ever graced <chessgames> with his presence. I hope this is only a hiatus of sorts, and that he will come back. And if he doesn't, I hope at least these forum pages filled with his incredible wit can be archived and preserved for posterity. |
