As a member of chessgames dot com I have a "favourites list" just like many other premium members here.

Several studies have shown that having afavourites llist does not equate to "stalking!?"

However, as I don't know your real name and nor do I want to, you know mine. You followed me on twitter and must stare at my facebook profile pictures ,with a longing sense of admiration and envy at my boyish good looks, because you even know my current haircut isn't of your approval! You also bring up the unfortunately very real fact that I once spent a short time in prison and have mentioned my brother that died... Here on this site!

I think it's patently obvious to anyone with a brain that if any stalking has gone on then it's not me stalking you but in fact exactly the opposite.. You have stalked me and others away from this site, otherwise how would you know to comment on someone's weight, haircut or lack of finances?

I found your post about Lamont memorable because you were taking the piss out of a millionaire by saying he was broke... amongst many other things!

I hope this clears matters up for you, and we'll no longer be hearing about ridiculous stalking accusations from your hypocritical self.

I've no idea what you're on about, literally don't have a Scooby Doo, but that's twitter... Not chessgames dot com.

<No on is on your side> On my side over what?? What are you talking about??

There's nothing you can post *from me* like I can with you.. Only *about me* from the site joke!?

<aj, dom, this criminal history invented for TD, chessgames adm calling you schizophrenic obsessive.. More? I just stopped 3 minutes..You want more? >

I've never had a favorites list, don't care about anyone else's. It was <you> who brought it up when discussing stalking, or the lack of stalking.

As far as I'm concerned you all do what you want, but I'm worried polluting MQ with nonsense will discourage others from posting there, that's really all I was saying from the start. And thus ruining a place that has served its purpose for years. There are two ways I could stop it, police it and delete offending posts as quicky as possible (though with dubious effect, as seen already) or close it down altogether. And obviously I'm not keen on either.

Thanks, but it's not necessary, as I've said it's the MQ forum I'm worried about not this one and I really don't want to censor anything if possible, since that's hardly an effective way of going about it and it's something I disagree with anyway.

You can post whatever here since, as I understand it, personal forums were conceived as more "off-topic" than regular pages. But MQ was envisioned as more of a "specialized" forum, so off-topic discussion is, while often understandable, really undesirable, since if it degenerates it could discourage people from visiting or posting, thus ruining its purpose.

And that's really my only beef, I don't visit here as much as I used to and am not "up to speed" with the latest feuds :-). I don't know how or why this started, so you will all have to forgive me if I am reluctant to choose sides. And that's why if I want to try and be impartial on MQ I have to spare no one, unfortunately, even if some posts were completely innocuous and I'd otherwise have no problem with them on their own.

Sorry, I didn't read the discussion and almost missed out on this quote of yours that warrants a response:

<Anyeay, its on you. If you allow that, basically you are destroying your page, I could no care less.>

It may not show, but I do care still. However, as you may have seen, the last time I went into "berserker rage" and deleted everything almost immediatly, the same thing manifested only a few days later.

I felt at the time I might have been too rash and my actions only caused resentment, thus the "relapse", but I don't know, as I've said I have no clue what your conflict is about.

I didn't see all the events, sadly had to work, but here are at least the winners of today...

The first gold medal in what was the first time for slopestyle at the Olympics went to the American Kotsenburg. Now, I didn't know any of the competitors or the favourites, but it was certainly a spectacular opening.

Next was the queen of Vancouver, Marit Björgen, continuing in style where she left off in the women's skiathlon. It was an exciting finish for 1st and 3rd, with Björgen edging out Charlotte Kalla and Heidi Weng won the bronze.

Sven Kramer was the favourite and won with a superb display in the 5000 m speed skating. His effortless glide is truly a wonder to behold. The Dutch won all three medals, so it was a dream start for them in their "national sport" :-).

And finally, biathlon opened up with the men's sprint and what a race it was. Sadly it didn't go to well for our team, but it still finished with a fantastic victory by the legendary Ole Einar Björndalen, in my opinion one of the best sportsmen ever, who produced another vintage performance in what may well be his swan song, unfortunately he is retiring this season. Silver went to Dominik Landertinger of Austria and bronze to Jaroslav Soukup of the Czech Republic. Home hopeful Anton Shipulin had the race in his hands, but let it slip away at the range and was only fourth, even though he clocked the best skiing time.

There was also the qualifying for the men's 90 m hill in ski jumping, not a lot are probably interested about it, sadly things didn't go so well, though I'm still hopeful about our athletes' chances for tomorrow, but the team event may be compromised.

Maybe I should also mention the Italian luger Armin Zöggeler who won a medal in his sixth consecutive games, a record. The Netherlands made their second sweep in the men's 500m speed skating, French Martin Fourcade got revenge in the men's pursuit (biathlon), while yesterday the Slovak Anastasia Kuzmina successfully defended her title in the women's sprint. Also yesterday the Swiss Dario Cologna won in the skiatlon in another tight finish over Swede Markus Hellner, while nothing noteworthy so far in the women's hockey tournament, the favourites are cruising to the semis.
