Say Rdb, somewhere before FTB mentioned "Don't do me any favors." That still applies, okey dokey>

Is there any point to this post ?

Do you ever realize what a hopeless last word freak you are ?

If you see me violating guidelines , say so , otherwise shut up unless you have some poiny to make and stop wasting time of everybody.

I should not do you any favor ? Do you realize what you are saying ? It is not just you. If you have paranoid schizophrenia then you are threat to society just like John du Pont, one of the richest American was who killed Olympic gold medallist because of his paranoid scizophrenoa

Movie <foxcatcher> is based on those events.

So, I am doing it not just for you but for the whole society. You could be a threat to whole society.

Get yourself tested

Oh , so your buddy <optimal play> is telling the truth and not attacking <perfidious>?

And when truth is told about <fredthebear> , it is attack?

Do you realize now why people hurl contempt and ridocule at you so often ?

The <foxcatcher> Rdb has appointed himself exclusive word police of FTB. As such, Rdb gets to harass FTB anywhere, any which way Rdb pleases. <You could be a threat to whole society.>

What are you going to do about this non-stop harassment Susan?>

Do you see that <diademas> ? Double standards of <ftb> ?

So if <stone free or die> asks to fix this problem called <ftb> is that not justified?

Tell the truth about <ftb> and his buddies and that is harassment/attack.

Whatever nonsense <ftb> and his buddies write that is ok. Just today <ftb> wrote that what extremely harsh words his buddy <optimal play> writing about <perfidious> is truth and not attack/harassment .

Go get a job

Get yourself tested for paranoid schizophrenia

If you want to be my buddy , you have to first stop repeating your lies. Can you do that?

What ? You repeated lie again and called <perfidious> my hero ?

Let's consider his recent return from a 3-day suspension (I'm assuming).

He's posted in at least 23 different forums just today (May 8, 2023). And who knows the number of posts, many of which are inflammatory.

Now, <Fred> is careful to post some chess as well. These are usually glib chess posts designed to provide cover.

But even these posts demonstrate him as being overwrought and overtired from his ongoing rampage.

Consider this post:

<May-08-23
<fredthebear>: 37 Kt to K5 check is illegal.>

From this position:

Steinitz vs Burn, 1898

This is why <Chessical> made his simple post correcting the mistake:

Steinitz vs Burn, 1898 (kibitz #3)

<perf> also chimed in, but his post was deleted.

* * * * * *

This is illustrative of the problem.

<Fred> isn't adding to the site with comments like these - and this isn't the first time he gets the chess wrong. Clearly he's quite tired from posting for over 16-hours straight.

Apparently <Fred> can rag on people like me and <perf> about chess, but it appears that <CG> has a policy proscribing those on <Fred>'s own designated enemies list from correcting him, even if done in a factual and polite manner.

Consider that I was banned for even mentioning an unhelpful post of <Fred>'s in an otherwise enjoyable thread:

<The account <stone free or die> has received a kibitzing suspension for 4 hours due to the following post:

stone free or die: Prior to <FtB> joining in, I was going to comment how some of the old <CG> sense of fun was once again at hand in the Mayan digression.

REASON: Stop with the childish games. The probation will increase for all parties if this continues

Due to the brevity of this suspension, it may not be appealed. You will be able to post again at 2023-04-24 20:26:45 USA/Eastern.

Sincerely,

I'm also quite concerned that <pref> and I are mentioned in about a dozen or more of <Fred>'s chess collections for no reason whatsoever other than to "keep score".

It's creepy - yet <CG> is allowing it.

But I also remember <CG> allowing the republication of the ChristChurch manifesto by the same user who called for the blood of <nok> and I to run in the streets in the upcoming rightist revolution.

This is life on <CG> under the current regime.

Also, are people aware of this new <CG> policy - i.e. that <CG> members are no longer able to control their own ignore-lists?

There appears to be a new, unannounced policy that <CG> can arbitrarily and capriciously edit any member's ignore-list in a secret fashion.

These new changes to the i-list cannot be undone.

Might I point out that this new policy is almost completely ineffective? That is, unless its purpose is to be annoying.

Just to let you know, I was the subject of an unprovoked attack by <perfidious> on the player's page of Frederick Rhine.

Since I did not want to sully the Rhine page with further garbage by <perfidious> I responded on the player's page of <perfidious> himself (ie Alan Shaw):

<May-08-23 optimal play: <May-07-23 perfidious: No attempt at thoughtful discussion with <suboptimal> is complete without his trademark breezy condescension and shifting of goalposts.>

I feel so sorry for you, Alan.

It truly must be Hell being you.

I could not imagine being a 62 year old man who has nothing else in his life other than to prowl around a chess site all day and night harassing and provoking innocent people.

You insert yourself into other people's discussions uninvited and offer nothing of substance, but only pervert their username and post vile, ugly, disparaging comments. This is obviously a reflection of your personality, and perhaps even your soul.

It is heartbreaking to see you do this day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.

I just feel so terribly sorry for you, Alan.>

This was posted on his player's page since he has me on ignore and I therefore could not respond on his own forum.

Now I'm not bothered about it being deleted, but I notice <perfidious> has continued his attack on the Rhine page.

Susan, I'm genuinely concerned about <perfidious>.

I come here only for the chess or to occasionally engage in amicable discussion on other topics, but <perfidious> is clearly someone who has an addiction to online abuse.

For the sake of both <perfidious> and Chessgames, I sincerely believe he should be given an extended time away from the site. His behaviour over the years has just continued to worsen and there's no telling how bad it could become.

Where else could I post it?

As I said, I wasn't going to sully Fred's player's page with it and <perfidious> has me on ignore.

And why is <perfidious> commenting about me when he supposedly has me on ignore and I haven't even spoken to him?

You won't admit it, but you know your post certainly didn't belong on his player page - and I'm glad to see it deleted by the admins.

Another of your posts makes your overarching intentions obvious:

Frederick Rhine (kibitz #741)>

I'm genuinely concerned for the mental health of <perfidious> aka Alan Shaw.

I ask you again, do you really think his posting on this site reflects a mentally healthy 62 year old man?

The best thing for both Alan and Chessgames is an extended holiday from this site, otherwise he'll just continue to deteriorate.

<And as for what I just posted on the Rhine page, well ... don't you think you're being a bit presumptuous in saying what you would do if you were in charge of Chessgames?>

No.

My record of contributions to the site is testament enough of both my good intentions, and good ideas.

This is Susan's page so I would expect it is entirely her prerogative. I doubt anyone else would take it upon themselves to delete a post from the owner's page.

And about mental health of your buddy <fredthebear> ? Except <fred> , no one has such a need for last word and non stop badgering - 16 hours non stop including all night and next day starting where he left from.

No one has such double standards /dishonesty as <fred> (at least since your buddy <big pawn>/<george wallace> was banned)

<perfidious> ? He would follow whatever rules admins force him to follow .

Your buddy <fredthebear> ? He huffs/puffs/thundets everyday, in effect , pestering admins that he and his buddies be allowed to violate guidelines with impunity and others be banned/disciplined even if they not violating guidelines . So in this area he worse than your buddy <big pawn>/<George wallace> even

So , you complaining that <perfidious> perverted your name and on the other hand , you perverting my name as usual .

Do you have no shame , <optimal play > ?

Like your buddies <big pawn> /<George wallace> and <fredthebear> , you are shameless and unscrupulous ?

<Nozzel> is not a perversion of your username.

This guy is seeing my name <rdb> and still he is saying he incapable .....it was not intentional on his part .....

No wonder he is a dogmatist ...
If he had high level of intelligence and integrity , he would not be a dogmatist ....I defeat these dogmatist people so often in debate and so effortlessly.

Million times , I told these people not to pervert my name , he knows that and he does it on purpose.

Basically , you saying that <whatever <rdb> said is true and <rdb> has refuted lots and lots of lies of <fredthebear> , however , he huffs/puffs/thunders which he should not even though he talking truth and making strong irrefutable points.

On the other hand <fredthebear> also huffs/puffs/thunders everyday , <fred> should not do that because <fred> lies non stop on one hand and makes silly points on the other hand>

Suzz, I'm worried about <optimal play>'s mental health.

Similar to his denying making a personal attack on <Alan Shaw>'s player's page, he's once again denying what is factually obvious to the rest of us (i.e. <Nozzel> is a worse name-insult than <suboptimal>).

I believe we can only conclude that <opie> needs counseling by a trained professional. Perhaps he needs a break from <CG>? I only suggest than in his best interest.

Of course, there is another possibility- that he's dissembling. But that option would also suggest a breather from <CG>.

Either way, I'm concerned about his health, be it mental or moral.
