You are both good mates of mine, so it's painful to see you guys scrapping all of a sudden?

Just a few days ago you guys were laughing and having a good time with each other.

Anyways as you know, I don't like to get in the middle of mates scrapping, so please forgive me butting my old bat nose in here.

But my name was mentioned here, and in that context, I can confirm that <lamont> has emailed me that he's seen <TheFocus'> book draft.

I also know from <lamont> emailing me that he confirms <TheFocus> never approached him for money, nor did I.

<lamont> offered it to us out of the blue. He's also a multimillionaire eh?

At any rate- two good mates the pair of you.

I understand some people want to see what other people may look like if they’ve started a conversation with them via the internet, ive done it myself, but ive been here 2 and a half years!! And were not friends!! Dont be a coward, if you want to talk via facebook, get on there and message me?? But like two users before you, youve gone there *then* you come here commenting afterwards. Youre grown men! I know im a handful, i know my faults, but trust me when i say this.. None of you would dare say what you say on here to me to my face.. What i say, id say it to your faces..I guarantee that. So ok, you want to play games.. Then lets play?
And for all those who have looked on my facebook then come here, why didnt you send me a message? Because youre cowards and wimps, and focus you’re the poster boy LOL :-)

<SugarDom: He's literally green with envy. If he also got 1000$, he would have stayed quiet.>

On my fathers life, me he drop dead if i lie, i just told myself that if *someone* were to say that, given its common knowledge ive had run ins with the law, that that *someone* would be the lowest scum to ever disgrace this site! And as you can imagine... thats up against some pretty stiff competition. Get back to stalking that young boy you little moron!

May I suggest you open a dedicated discussion page on cheating in chess?

Not to mention any names, but I've put "a few" users who clearly aren't interested in a serious discussion on ignore, and for the most part, it works really well. However, other users often respond to and quote their posts, so I am forced to see them indirectly. Asking people not to feed the trolls helps, but again, not completely.

So, here is my idea: add a setting so that not only do you not see posts by people on your ignore list, but you also don't see any posts mentioning their name. This would allow people to block most posts responding to users on our ignore lists and allow us to make them actually invisible without needing to change the behavior of anyone else.

I dunno, she doesn't seem to be doing that... "Tries to", maybe. :s

I don't like to use the ignore function, and it seems to me that those who want more elaborate versions of it are not very interested in dialogue. The reduction ad absurdum, for them, is a site where their own utterances are the only ones visible.

Dom.. Ill bet when Daniel started this site up he didnt envisage these kind of problems, because were all adults, right. Well i had the same thoughts when i joined this site! But hey, when in Rome.....
