| Aug-22-18 | | Big Pawn: <Caissanist: Why do you guys even bother discussing politics here? That's not what the site is designed for at all. Other sites have much better features for that.> If I do a kibitzing search will I find any off topic posts from you? If so, why? |

 | | tpstar: <Political talk is not prohibited on Chessgames, as it's only natural that intelligent people should want to discuss important world events as they occur. However experience has taught us that conversations like this one, while starting off very civil and organized, can quickly change and erupt into 20 pages of acrimony. I too love to discuss politics on the internet, but I keep my "chess life" and "political life" separated. I hope that you will all join me and do the same.> The World (kibitz #238) <Caissanist> Good luck in your quest to become a Moderator here. You know your site history, right? |
|
| Aug-22-18 | | Caissanist: <bigpawn> Yes, I do occasionally make postings on the Rogoff page, as a handy way to make notes to myself. I do not expect or receive any responses. I have never engaged in any extended political discussion here, not because I am opposed to it but because the lack of threading and upvoting/downvoting features (among other things) makes the site unsuitable for that kind of thing, IMO. <tpstar> Yeah, I know my site history. So far as I know, I have never gotten into any kind of serious acrimony here with anyone except possibly A.J. Goldsby (or now, i guess, you). I don't particularly want to moderate the Freeman or Chessgames support pages but I really think <somebody> needs to, and it's not going to be any of the existing admins, apparently. |
|
| Aug-22-18 | | Big Pawn: Given your answer, <Caissanist>, you've answered your own question, since you have a history of posting non-chess related posts and had your reasons for doing so. |

| | tpstar: <I know my site history> Hooray! 1) Which three members had their chessforum shut down due to repeated rule violations? 2) Which three members have made the most death threats? 3) Who spent the most time in jail?
4) How did Wear the Bra help contain the global threat of Carlsen Fanboyism? 5) Which Editors sat there and watched while the Member Support Forum was used for attacking and bullying and cyberstalking and threatening from April 2016 to August 2016, breaking Daniel's heart when they chose the Criminal over the Webmaster? Good Luck! |
|
| Aug-22-18 | | Caissanist: Don't know about any of that, there are other parts of the site I generally enjoy hanging out at more. It was precisely my lack of personal history with that stuff that led me to believe that I might be able to help with deleting non-support related posts from the support forum without being seen as favoring one party or another. If that was naive on my part, then mea culpa. |
|
| Aug-22-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <Premium Chessgames Member tpstar: <<<I know my site history>>> Hooray!> I don't! Well, at least, not as much as I would like to know. But I will attempt the quiz: <1) Which three members had their chessforum shut down due to repeated rule violations?> If I answer <Mark Finan> three times does that count? :) 1. <Mark Finan> aka <unf> aka <DWOB>
2. <Hayden> aka <CM>
3. <saffuna> aka <Jim Bartle>
4. <LMAJ> aka <AJ Goldsby> That's more than 3. So I guess one of them is wrong? <2) Which three members have made the most death threats?> 1. <Mark Finan>
2. <Travis Bickle>
3. and I don't know anyone else who has done so. <3) Who spent the most time in jail?> <Travis Bickle> <4) How did Wear the Bra help contain the global threat of Carlsen Fanboyism?> Huh?
<5) Which Editors sat there and watched while the Member Support Forum was used for attacking and bullying and cyberstalking and threatening from April 2016 to August 2016, breaking Daniel's heart when they chose the Criminal over the Webmaster?> All of them except <TheFocus> <Good Luck!>
I'm gonna need it... |
|
| Aug-22-18 | | Caissanist: Duh, I belatedly realized that I misinterpreted TPStar's <do you know your site history> question. I thought he meant do I know <my> site history--that is, the history of my own personal postings on here, and the reaction of others to them. Obviously, the correct answer to the question he actually asked was <no>, and there was nothing personal about it. Mea culpa squared. |

| | tpstar: 6) Why did Henrik Carlsen stop posting in 2010? 7) Why did Wesley So stop posting in 2011? 8) Why did Jon Ludvig Hammer stop posting in 2012? 9) Why did Zsuzsa Polgar stop posting in 2014? 10) Why did Nigel Short stop posting in 2017? |
|
| Aug-22-18 | | thegoodanarchist: What, no quiz answers??
I was conned! |
|
| Aug-22-18 | | technical draw: <9) Why did Zsuzsa Polgar stop posting in 2014?> Well, my BFF, Zsuzsa, said I took too long to reply to her posts. She said she just couldn't stand the suspense. Hey, when you got it, you got it! |
|
| Aug-23-18 | | Boomie: <technical draw: <9) Why did Zsuzsa Polgar stop posting in 2014?>> Here's her last post. The reason she left CG seems clear from her post. Wesley So (kibitz #163224) |
|
| Aug-23-18 | | JimNorCal: From the link:
<john barleycorn> My name is Susan Polgar. After asking you nicely several times to address me by my proper name, and to behave properly, Et cetera.
She thanks CG for trying to keep things under control. I spent all my time on chess pages until DF died. Now, through the chess forum pages I learn about the dark underside of CG. The site appears to be a magnet for a group of dysfunctional people. And the measures taken to control them were insufficient |
|
| Aug-23-18 | | technical draw: Thanks <Boomie>. Now I feel bad for my less than humorous post. I should have known better. My apologies to GM Polgar. |

| | tpstar: Rest Day Entertainment!
11) Which Editor abused his privileges by sabotaging the Louis Stumpers player page biography for attention and sympathy, thus singlehandedly compromising the historical credibility of this entire site after years of work? 12) Which Editor misused the Biographer's Bistro to compile a list of twenty off-topic Vandals, then he misused the Member Support Forum by advocating for them to be banished ("Have guts CG, axe them down") because he never wants his Filipina wife to read the Wesley So page from the top? 13) Which Assistant was one of The Seven and should have been booted out of here years ago before joining forces with a career criminal who tormented the Webmaster from 2010 to 2018 and before being suspended twelve times (!) wasting so much of Daniel's precious time and energy? 14) Which Assistant/Adviser spoiled the Daniel Freeman page after his death by speculating 18 times whether <Daniel> was <Sneaky>, or if <Sneaky> was <Daniel>, or oh this is all just so confusing that I am going to pee my pants again. 15) Which Editors sat there and watched while career criminal <Mark Finan> called the late Webmaster Daniel Freeman "liar" and "coward" over and over and over again from April 2016 to August 2016 in the Member Support Forum, breaking Daniel's heart when they chose the Criminal over the Webmaster? Good Luck. |

 | | Tabanus: <tpstar> My wife talked to Wesley So once during a tournament, not knowing that he was not allowed to talk with someone during the game. I saved my wife some years ago from dealing with child labor, what can you make out of that? |
|
Aug-24-18
| | Tabanus: <technical draw> You are not alone. They're fooling the entire site, and compromising the credibility of every one who tries to do a good job for CG. If you <really> want to know who are the culprits, have a look at my Axe list, and move Tipsy to the top of it. The list is two years old now, time to make a new. |
|
| Aug-24-18 | | Big Pawn: <Tabanus>, bring your posting up a notch to post here. This is the Elite Posters Cafe, not the bottom feeder cafe. Otherwise, I'm going to delete your posts from here and post them in the chessgames.com admin forum. This is not an all inclusive cafe. Not everyone is welcome here. This is exclusive, not inclusive. |

| | tpstar: <The list is two years old now, time to make a new> Which will undoubtedly have the same impact. You Historians do your thing, and us Vandals will do our thing. But enough with these coordinated coalitions where you try to eliminate people because you don't like their ideology, or you don't like their style, or you don't like them, or whatever. We are stuck together. |
|
| Aug-24-18 | | Caissanist: <technical draw> Don't feel bad, your post was funny, I bet Susan would've laughed at it too. There are a lot of other posts here which she certainly wouldn't laugh at, but that's not your problem. |

| Aug-25-18 | | thegoodanarchist: zanzibar chessforum (kibitz #278) |
|
| Aug-25-18 | | Big Pawn: <Tga>, that was hilarious. heh heh
<Zanzy the Pansy> seems to be permanently triggered over it too. You just know back in school he was itching to be the hall monitor and rat out his class mates every chance he got. I think <Zanzibar> may be a girl to tell you the truth. |
|
| Aug-25-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <BP>
Yeah, I guess I should try to see the humor in it. However, I walked into a tactic. The old "bait and switch": thegoodanarchist chessforum (kibitz #1036) To which I replied:
Bureaucrat chessforum (kibitz #966) So I am feeling a bit betrayed. As I said to him, I give people the benefit of the doubt, until proven otherwise. Which is what has transpired. |
|
| Aug-25-18 | | Big Pawn: That's how the libs are, <tga>. They aren't "for real". You don't know who you're talking to when you're talking to a lib because they always put on a front so that as many people approve of them as possible. They seek approval. There's this weakness inside them that makes them seek approval. That's why when a lib gets mad at you, they will often say, "Nobody likes you! You have no friends! We don't like you! You don't fit in with us!" and things like that. To them, that is the ultimate punishment and they visualize themselves falling to pieces in such a situation. Anyhow, the libs are fakes. Also, the libs are angry and hateful. You can never trust an angry person because they will turn on you at the drop of a hat. As a consolation, you can know for a fact that the libs are miserable about not being able to control the election, not being able to control Trump and not being able to control the Elite Posters. heh |
