So hot off the youtube press:

The first 6 games were played by Nikolai G Kopylov (http://www.365chess.com/players/Nik...).

Geller vs Tal, 1963

Let's just set the record straight, shall we? Here is that user's first post in my forum, quite unasked-for:

<Lennonfan> -- < <domdaniel> just had a look at your bio and previous kibitzing..you really do *TALK SOME CRAP*dont you? <jessicafischergroupie>...iv looked at your "bobby fischer loving,sad life,spinster,nearly 30 THOUSAND kibitzes in 5 or 6yr(ever left your house love?),cant play chess just like talking to people who can etc..etc..etc...bio before.....and you also really do *TALK SOME CRAP*....*maybe you should use your posh words and education to take shots at someone like me,instead of less fortunate kibitzers who fail to understand your *crap*?? Just a thought..>

All I said here was "No, that's not a thought". More spew followed from Len.

Nice, ain't he? At that point I simply asked him to apologize to Jessica, then leave and never come back. He upped the ante instead, with more spew, all illiterate, poisonous, and apparently deeply disturbed. I deleted a few of his posts which attacked people who had supported me, then I put him on Ignore.

When somebody plays an interesting chess game and posts it in my forum, I analyze it. When a psychological mess with serious hang-ups about "so-called intellectuals" shows up, I analyze this phenomenon too.

I certainly did not try to imply that he was homosexual - he doesn't appear to have enough wit or style to do it properly. What I said was that his problem was "like homophobia" - his hatred of intellectuals (whatever *they* are) masking deep-rooted yet unadmissible urges. Big difference.

Obviously, this individual completely fails to grasp how things work on CG. He's violated a ridiculous number of guidelines, and yet feels that *he* has the right to make a complaint.

Of course I played around with him for a bit before doing the Ignore thing. Hard to resist, really, when challenged by somebody so, uh, challenged. And I might have gone on tossing Lemmings off cliffs for days, but I have others to think of. Responsibilities. Friends. Forum regulars. The general CG community.

So I disposed of the nuisance. End of. I don't care what, if anything, you do with him. Maybe he'll grow out of this phase. I don't care.

But I won't sit idly by while *he* accuses *me* of all the stuff he does himself.

Hmmm, that's a bit like homophobia too, actually. Maybe I was right all along.

Smooches,

and

">> Latest" around the current

Earlier and Latest - when checking my own kibitzing and comments made after

This <Lennonfan> is spamming off topic attacks on <Domdaniel> on player pages, targeting pages that <Dom> has already posted on, including his own player page.

<Lennonfan> is polluting player page threads with spam. He has been doing it for weeks, and I have blown the whistle repeatedly and you have done NOTHING.

How long will you allow this to continue?

Do you feel any sense of loyalty at all to longstanding members like <Dom> who have contributed so very much to your project here?

Why are you allowing this <Lennonfan>- who has contributed NOTHING to your project- to stalk <Dom> and insult him all over this website until he doesn't feel comfortable to log in?

When are you going to enforce your own posting guidelines?

Go to <Lennonfans'> profile- click on his recent posts- and see for yourself that they are indeed OFF TOPIC SPAMMING and PERSONAL ATTACKS ON ANOTHER USER- and <domdaniel> singled out as the only recipient of these attacks?

Why have you not done a single thing to investigate this matter properly?
