This post contains the words <sick, flame, war, hate, sod, ignore, butthurt>, which are on the Bad Words List and exceeds our limit for one post.

I don't say or write "butthurt" very much. Maybe 2 or 3 times total? But I will switch to saying "bootyhurt" if need be. |

| Aug-17-18 | | thegoodanarchist: OK, I searched <thegoodanarchist "butthurt"> I counted 5 usages. This post makes it 6.
Still, that's not many. |

<big pawn> about 150 times. <bob> about 100 times. |

all English words are on the list? |

 | | tpstar: <Tabanus> You are not supposed to use the Member Support Forum to report specific or recurring violations of posting policy. You know that. You are not supposed to use this space to advocate for anyone being disciplined and even banned. You know that too. You are not supposed to use pejorative permutations of handles ("<White pawn>"). You know that three. What do you call someone who knows the rules yet breaks them anyway? You were the same way two years ago when you sabotaged the
Louis Stumpers player page biography for attention and sympathy, also you prepared a list of twenty off-topic Vandals to be eliminated ("axe them down"), and now you want to erase the Kibitzer's Café just because. The site is not the problem here. |

Not a bad choice, I'd say.
What about derriere?
It's pronounced "Dairy Air".
Use it in a sentence:
Can you smell that fresh Dairy Air? |

| Aug-17-18 | | JimNorCal: <Tabanus>: "To me it seems that 80% or more of the posters here now belong to Trump or the right side of US politics. Am I ringt?" It's funny but my impression is the opposite. But then I realized, until DFs death I doubt if I ever read any of the forums. I was only on the chess pages. The forums contain a lot political bickering, heated arguments and nasty insults on all sides. If you read the game pages, player pages, tournament pages there is a rare but fairly steady stream of insults to (for example) Trump supporters with occasional angry responses. I have not made a survey but it occurs to me that one way it could happen is if (for example) <BigPawn> makes a chess related comment on a chess page and other posters make insulting responses to <BP> based on arguments elsewhere in CG-land. I, for one, would appreciate at least the chess pages being for chess. And for political stuff, there are so many political sites available ... why not go to one of them? But as long as the chess pages are clean, that's enough for me. One person's opinion and preference. |

| Aug-17-18 | | TheFocus: <tpstar> <The site is not the problem here.> The rules do not apply to the libs. Now that DF is gone, they have trying to take over the site. |

| Aug-17-18 | | Big Pawn: <TheFocus: <tpstar> <The site is not the problem here.> The rules do not apply to the libs. Now that DF is gone, they have trying to take over the site.> That's exactly what happened. Daniel had them all in line before, but now that he's gone, they've come out and tried to turn the place upside down, like Ferguson. |

| Aug-17-18 | | zanzibar: <JNC> you're picking sides... <If you read the game pages, player pages, tournament pages there is a rare but fairly steady stream of insults to (for example) Trump supporters with occasional angry responses.> But you sort of did that to me in the <DF> forum when you piled on with <BP> and <OCF> early-on with the <decorum> thing. I could cut you some slack, given your newness (as you say) in following the discussions on the forums. But, if you were honest about it, you'll definitely find <BP> makes few constructive comments about chess. His main focus are religion and politics. If he cared about chess, or <CG>, would he have behaved quite so shamefully as he did on <Alan Shaw>'s player page? He loves the attention his venomous post garner, with delusions of grander of some kind... but to me he's kudzu. Just a weed with almost nothing constructive to add. It would be tolerable if he confined himself to his own (or other "elite") forums, and to <Rogoff> - the forum <Daniel> definitely designated as the fire-fight zone in order to confine the "bad" behavior. But after <DF> died, an entire segment of posters spilled out of <Rogoff>, like a plague of locusts, to infest whatever forum they happened to land upon. I likened that period to the Costa Concordia tragedy, but in reality it was much more analogous to a backed-up toilet overflowing unto the floor. The one good thing, I suppose, was that the entire <CG> community is now aware of the how these people behave and interact. The worst offender, clearly, is <BP>. He actually borders on destructive behavior on <CG>. Consider his behavior at the <Cafe> with the voluminous Faust posts. Those weren't for purposes of discussion, or edification. Those were just monkey cut-and-paste pieces designed to ~ "flush away the blue links". In other words, he cries as wronged when people want to moderate him, but he has no compunctions whatsoever when he tries to censor <Harry> and others. Hypocritical I would say.
And without any regard to <CG> disk usage too, I might add. (Part 1 of many). . |

| Aug-17-18 | | Big Pawn: <Zanzi the Pansy: If he cared about chess, or <CG>, would he have behaved quite so shamefully as he did on <Alan Shaw>'s player page?> I was defending myself from his personal attacks. I commented on a game and he attacked me by saying I was even qualified to comment on a game - because I'm a patzer. Then I shared my chess.com profile on here and challenged him to a 20 minute bullet chess match. He saw my rating was about 2100 and put his tail between his legs. But he wouldn't leave it alone, so I had to show him that we are more closely rated than he assumed, to squash his arrogance. I noted his rating floor and his deplorable results before he quit chess and simply stated the truth, that his real rating would be only about 2100 or so if for not being saved by the floor. He should not have arrogated himself the way he did, and then he wouldn't have had to suffer the counter attack. Just for the record. |

It's divisive, us-vs-them, stuff, full of insults and crowing directed towards the them. He harbors no tolerance or respect for those not in alignment with his agenda. Ever wonder why IMDB doesn't have comments anymore? . |

| Aug-17-18 | | Big Pawn: <tuna: Nice fantasy.> Prove me wrong.
Now the ball is in your court, so if you come up empty, it's going to be delicious. |

I agree with every word you just said! And the way he vandalised Perf's player page was nothing short of disgusting. I've got him and <everyone> he speaks to on ignore bar Jim and Bobbi. |

| Aug-17-18 | | Dr Winston OBoogie: <The worst offender, clearly, is <BP>. He actually borders on destructive behavior on <CG>.

That he does to deliberately provoke Travis who in turn loses his temper with him, then he proceeds to taunt him until he threatens to kill him (Trav ain't built for trolling) that he'll get his IP address and give it to unsavoury characters, <then> he goes bragging about it and how much he's pushed Trav to the edge! Like I said a few weeks ago. Nuke him and the Rogoff page. |

| Aug-17-18 | | JimNorCal: <zanzi>, fair enough. I only call them as I see 'em but if you feel I am taking sides, you're welcome to your opinion. Still, if the site survives, I hope it becomes general practice to keep the chess pages focused on chess. Even when a controversial user makes a chess-related comment on a chess page, I hope people will respond to the content and not to the person's activity on non-chess pages. |

Er.. you guys maybe we should acknowledge we are all in the same boat here and that we would all like it to continue floating for longer than a few more days? The code is deteriorating, and this needs to be logged so that <Annie K> and <Sargon> and other parties are aware of it. The <Olga Chess Viewer> is failing in at least two instances that <takchess> has discovered. Right now, these two instances can be addressed by switching to the <pgn4 Viewer>, but this is not really the issue- deteriorating code is the issue. If this website is to continue, the owner(s) admininstrator(s) will need accurate damage reports. I submit that we should reserve this forum here for damage reports and admin updates, if we ever get any again. Maybe we can fight over on another page. If it came down to there being no other place, I would be happy to buy an extra preemy and dedicate a separate forum for that purpose. This is how a few of us tried (somewhat successfully) to protect the <Fischer page> from the honking, and long, <Ed Trice-61 Memorable Games fiasco>. Anyways here are the error reports, courtesy of <takchess>: chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #30250) chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #30253) chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #30285) |

In the mean time, I urge any and all who might want to preserve work and kibbitzing from this website to continue taking as many <Wayback Machine> snapshots as possible while there is still time. I hope we never have to use them all, but what if we do? https://archive.org/web/ |

So is much of the stuff posted by you and <DWOB>, since DF died. The two of you, plus <CHC>, have tried to initiate a cyber-Night of the Long Knives, to purge cg.com of anyone you don't like. As long as we are keeping the record straight. |
